The purpose of this document is to provide our readers with a quick
summary of each week's most relevant Linux security headlines.

Privacy continues to be a hot issue. This week, the Senate released a 31
page guide to privacy protection. It includes strategies and references to
tools that can help protect privacy while online. Also, Network Ice
released an open source clone of Carnivore, and the paper, "Circumventing
Carnivore" was released.

This week, Dave Wreski conducted an interesting interview with Avi Fogel,
CEO of Network-1. Some of the topics include, "the state of Internet
security," his experience with Windows and security, and the advantages
and disadvantages of Open Source security.

1. Linux Security Week, September 11th 2000

The Linux Security Week Newsletter provides a quick summary of each week's
most relevant Linux security headlines.

This week, several interesting articles appeared surrounding the Carnivore
issue. A group of developers from Network ICE released their own
open-source version, Altivore. The purpose of it is to "allow ISPs to
respond to court ordered e-mail surveillance without FBI help, thus
allowing them to be self-regulated instead of government regulated." Also,
a group of Universities were unwilling to review Carnivore because of the
FBI's list of strict requirements and restrictions given to researchers.
