Arxceo`s Anti-Reconnaissance Security Appliance Turns the Table on Cyber Specialists at Engineering Conference

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., April 10, 2007  Arxceo Corporation, aprovider of anti-reconnaissance and anomaly behavioral-based attack preventiontechnology, demonstrated its Ally ip100 security appliance during the DigitalCombat Exercise (DCE) held at the 2007 Southeastern Software & Systems EngineeringConference (SE)3 on March 12-15 in Huntsville, Alabama. The Ally ip100 performedflawlessly by camouflaging the network and frustrating attackers withanti-reconnaissance false positives. Unlike the false positives that networkadministrators are usually faced with, these false positives confuse, deter andmislead the attacker and cause them to loose valuable time.

Among the experts analyzing ArxceoÂ's defense were researchers from the Georgia TechResearch Institute, which fielded an  attack team that participated in the digitalexercise designed to engage cyber specialists in launching digital attacks onnetworks with varying levels of security. The Georgia Tech Research Institute teamsaid ArxceoÂ's Ally ip100 is likely to be very effective in deterring hackers fromattacking a network or server.

ArxceoÂ's Ally ip100Â is an easy-to-install, low-cost, low-maintenance solutiondesigned for small businesses, branch offices and departments hoping to avoidzero-day attacks, Denial of Service (DOS) attacks, or to keep safe from hackers andcorporate espionage breaches. The Ally ip100 creates an offensive, always-ondefense that prevents attackers from using even a single packet to probe the networkfor vulnerabilities. ArxceoÂ's Ally ip100 defense was the least expensive securitydevice integrated into the Digital Combat Exercise.

 We were asked to make this easier than the last Digital Combat Exercise, as allthe teams were frustrated and unable to get any information about devices behindour appliance. This year, we provided the IP address of the unprotected Webserverand told them there were at least two default services running on their standardports with easy-to-guess passwords, said Don Davidson, CEO, Arxceo.  In order tosimplify the process even further and make it a learning experience, we providedthe teams with our literature and towards the end of the lengthy exercise; weturned off our blacklisting feature.Â

James Chaloupka, Research Scientist, Georgia Tech Research Institute stated, ArxceoÂ's Ally ip100 really turned the tables on us. Our penetration and hackingtools were giving us lots of false positives  leading us down bogus avenues andwasting our time as we attempted to crack various wide-open services that turned outnot to exist.Â

ArxceoÂ's Tag-UR-IT technology confuses reconnaissance results of attackers. ArxceoÂ'sAlly ip100 anti-reconnaissance device prevents the spread of worms across thedifferent segments of a network and fortifies network protocols, eliminating abusessuch as covert channeling, DNS cache poisoning, fragmented packet 'exploitinjections' and raw-frame Ethernet data leak transmissions. The Ally transparentlyauthenticates end-user TCP connections without client software to communicate orauthenticate the session. This authentication eliminates address spoofing, a commonmethod used in both network reconnaissance and network attacks - including Denial ofService abuses.
