Its 2003 and everyone is making their predictions. What trends are network operators seeing for Internet security? Old favorites Buffer overflows Distributed Denial of Service Poor passwords (cisco/sanfran) Poorly coded systems Blame the user for not protecting poorly coded systems Trends Attack the network (why? because we can) Proxy relay hiding (its not just for SMTP anymore) Combo Bot/Trojan/Worms Embedded software "upgrades" Any other trends network operators are seeing?
