*** TR-32 - key-value store and NoSQL security recommendations ***
---------------------------------------------
Key-value stores, caches or NoSQL databases became an important piece of software in today's internet and web services. In contrast to conventional DB sytems, the security model of NoSQL data stores is often very limited due to their inherent nature to be used within internal trusted networks. Strong attention should be given to the configuration of key-value stores especially regarding their access from the Internet.

*** Bindead - a static analysis tool for binaries. ***
---------------------------------------------
Bindead is an analyzer for executable machine code. It features a disassembler that translates machine code bits into an assembler like language (RREIL) that in turn is then analyzed by the static analysis component using abstract interpretation. As Bindead operates on the machine code level, it can be used without having the source code of the program to be analyzed. In fact, the purpose of Bindead is to help with the reverse engineering of executable code or binaries.
