Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer Security/Article requests

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Basic terminology

[edit]

I realise that wikipedia is lacking articles on basic (but fundamental, at least according to my point of view) topics, such as attack (I added a specialized article attack (computer)), countermeasure (I added a specialized article countermeasure (computer)), Threat (I added a specialized article Threat (computer)).
Writing the last article I found that most basic terminology cited in authoritative sources as National Information Assurance Glossary, or RFC 2828 is not covered (at no level or in same cases at very start class level) in wikipedia articles. Some example you can find reading Threat (computer) and looking for html comments. I will try to write some myself but I am more than happy if someone can contribute, writing or assessing the articles.

This heavily overlaps with the focus of WikiProject Risk, which targets articles related to threat, risk, security, etc. in need of generalization. Tule-hog (talk) 19:14, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keybase

[edit]

Perhaps it's not in the scope of this project, but I've started a page for keybase in my sandbox. If anyone wants to help, feel free to edit the crap out of it. AManNamedEdwan (talk) 19:41, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, a Keybase article now exists (for anyone else following the pages requested link). -- Yae4 (talk) 15:21, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cowrie

[edit]

Talking about honeypot systems, there is a page for Kippo, but not yet one for Cowrie which is more actively maintained. It might need a Cowrie (disambiguation) page as well.

Draft:Cowrie_honeypot is now available for editing. -- Yae4 (talk) 17:13, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Malicious software

Requests for encyclopædia articles on malware go here.

Keyword attack

[edit]

I've been editing an article on the British Library cyberattack and came across the concept of a keyword attack or keyword guessing attack, which was used as part of that attack. I don't have the expertise but there seems to be a good number of articles on it. JamJamSvn (talk) 14:14, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cybersecurity

[edit]

See an old proposal to differentiate cybersecurity from computer/information security. The claim is that cybersecurity focuses more generally on "the protection of information and telecommunication technologies (ICT), the data processed and the infrastructure, products and services depending on them", whereas the others are specializations. Not sure I agree, but bumping here. Tule-hog (talk) 19:59, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
