Information on Checkmark and check mark and services for IT security, anti virus, antivirus, compliance testing, validation, beta test, software testing services, IT security management and server security for vendors from West Coast Labs. Checkmark is the world's fastest growing certification system for information security products and services. It is a highly regarded accreditation program, recognized globally by vendors, end users and by government agencies as providing End Users with effective confirmation of a product or service's effectiveness in an ever-changing threat landscape. The Checkmark Certification programs validate the functionality and performance of both content and network security technologies in a range of threat scenarios and attack vectors from standard baseline benchmarking tests against accepted industry standards, to Real Time testing that sees products under continuous test against zero day real world threats 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) is the global pan-industrial and law enforcement association focused on eliminating the fraud and identity theft that result from phishing,pharming and email spoofing of all types. Our mission is to provide a resource for information and solutions for eliminating the fraud, identity theft and electronic crime that result from phishing, pharming and email spoofing of all types. The APWG Public Education Initiative (PEI) identifies and organizes the most broadly useful counter-ecrime educational programs and forges the essential logistics to deliver them to the largest victimized cohort possible, in every language in which phishing, directed at consumer and enterprise desktops and communications devices, has become a problem. Phishing and crimes that leverage it exploit a small number of transactional exposures, the most obvious being the capture (and criminal abuse) of online user credentials. PEI seeks to provide focused and most exposure-relevant instruction wherever and whenever possible to help consumers and enterprise users protect themselves and minimize the number of vulnerabilities that electronic crime gangs can count on being able to abuse.

Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system. Kismet will work with any wireless card which supports raw monitoring (rfmon) mode, and can sniff 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g traffic. Kismet identifies networks by passively collecting packets and detecting standard named networks, detecting (and given time, decloaking) hidden networks, and infering the presence of nonbeaconing networks via data traffic. Features 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a, 802.11n sniffing Standard PCAP file logging (Wireshark, Tcpdump, etc) Client/Server modular architecture Multi-card and channel hopping support Runtime WEP decoding Tun/Tap virtual network interface drivers for realtime export of packets Hidden SSID decloaking Distributed remote sniffing with Kismet drones XML logging for integration with other tools Linux, OSX, Windows, and BSD support (devices and drivers permitting)
