IT Weekly Roundup, Sept. 2

From the business wires: a firewall that IDs hackers, a GUI command line console and more.

A new firewall called GateSweeper not only defends against cyber attacks but also collects information about the hackers behind them through a rule-based program module that redirects them to GateSweeper’s HoneyPot, which is an isolated server at the company’s Command and Control Center. Once information like the hacker’s IP address is collected, it is then handed over to the ISP and proper authorities. http://www.gatesweeper.com
