Extractions: Tens of thousands of children are being fingerprinted in school - often without the consent of their parents, a human rights group has complained. Prints are taken for a library lending system which the makers say makes lending more efficient and less vulnerable to abuse. But the pressure group Privacy International says the practice is illegal and breaches the human right to privacy. Dangerous One of the makers of the technology, Micro Librarian Systems (MLS), say they have sold about 1,000 systems to schools in the UK and abroad. One mother from London told BBC News Online she was horrified when her son came home and told her he had been finger-printed at his primary school. She said: "I consider that this was an infringement of my son's civil rights and a breach of trust on the part of the school. "This should not have been done at all, and certainly not without our consent, or indeed knowledge.
AFLP Studies In Avian Population Genetic Structure
Studies in the advancement of population level genetic analyses in birds. Includes information on research and polymerase chain reaction based fingerprinting technology.

Extractions: All models are wrong; some are simply less wrong than others. Welcome! T his site is dedicated to the advancement of fine-scale population-level genetic analyses in natural populations, especially birds. My primary research interests concern the development of new molecular (especially AFLP) and analytical techniques to characterize genetic variation in spatially structured populations of lekking Neotropical birds. Although I am most interested in how dispersal barriers affect the genetic composition of White-bearded Manakins (family Pipridae) and various hummingbirds (family Trochilidae), I share some time investigating genetic processes in Combtooth Blennies (family Blenniidae) and Drosophila melanogaster . My motivation in creating this site was to provide a resource that would make available many of the protocols and tools I developed for my dissertation research. Although most of the information contained herein is referenced primarily to birds, I hope that other investigators will find this information useful in their own research. UPDATE!

Extractions: The European Union has launched its first centralised fingerprint database aimed at preventing abuses of the asylum system. From Wednesday, all asylum seekers over the age of 14 will be fingerprinted to check that they have not already made an asylum application in another EU country. In public opinion there is this idea that there are major abuses being perpetrated all over the place, right, left and centre Every year, some 400,000 people seek asylum in the 15 countries of the EU. EU officials say the system will put an end to multiple asylum applications, or "asylum-shopping". They say the system complies with human rights obligations and the data will not be made available to national governments. Co-ordinating policy Many people are believed to enter the EU through one country, such as Greece or Italy, but then move on to Germany or Britain, searching for better conditions.

NOVA Online | Killer's Trail | Create A DNA Fingerprint
That DNA is unique from person to person but the same from cell to cell in oneperson can be a handy thing, especially when it comes to DNA fingerprinting.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sheppard/analyze.html

Extractions: DNA. It's what makes you unique. It's the stuff that tells each and every one of your body's 10 trillion cells what it's supposed to be and what it's supposed to do. And although your DNA is different from that of every other person in the world unless you have an identical twin it's the same in every cell that makes up your body. That DNA is unique from person to person but the same from cell to cell in one person can be a handy thing, especially when it comes to DNA fingerprinting. DNA fingerprints can be used for anything from determining a biological mother or father to identifying the suspect of a crime. And, as may someday prove to be the case with Sam Sheppard, it can be used to clear someone's name.

Incidents.org - By The SANS Institute: Passive OS Fingerprinting
Passive OS fingerprinting Details and Techniques By Toby Miller. This paper willspecifically cover passive OS fingerprinting using TCP and the SYN packet.
http://www.incidents.org/papers/OSfingerprinting.php

Extractions: The purpose of this paper is to explain the details and techniques that can be used in passive OS fingerprinting. In this paper, we will look at packets captured by TCPDUMP. Although this paper assumes the reader has a basic understanding of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), we will briefly cover certain fields in the TCP/IP header. This paper will specifically cover passive OS fingerprinting using TCP and the SYN packet. We will cover other flags but the majority of the work has been done analyzing a SYN packet. Passive OS fingerprinting using ICMP has been covered in great detail at http://www.sys-security.com Before we begin, I want to clear up any confusion between passive Operating System (OS) fingerprinting (what we are doing here) and active OS fingerprinting (tools like NMAP use this technique). First, passive OS fingerprinting does not send out any packets. All that is needed to perform passive OS fingerprinting is a computer, a sniffer and a desire to dig into a packet. Active OS fingerprinting on the other hand will send special or not so special packets to a machine and wait for a response from that machine. That response will determine what operating system the remote system is running.
Improved Protocol For T-RFLP By Capillary Electrophoresis
Detailed protocol for terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP), which allows the fingerprinting of a community by analyzing the polymorphism of a certain gene. Article by V Gr¼ntzig, B Stres, HL Ayala del Ro and JM Tiedje, Center for Microbial Ecology, Michigan State University, USA
http://rdp.cme.msu.edu/html/t-rflp_jul02.html

Extractions: Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) allows the fingerprinting of a community by analyzing the polymorphism of a certain gene. It is a high-throughput, reproducible method that allows the semi-quantitative analysis of the diversity of a particular gene in a community. The figure below illustrates the procedure and the rationale of the method. The DNA is harvested from the analyzed sample (1). The gene of interest is amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a fluorescently labeled primer (2). This yields a mixture of amplicons of the same or similar sizes with a fluorescent label at one end. After purification, the amplicon mixture is digested with a restriction enzyme, which generates fragments of different sizes (A-F) (3). These are separated through gel or capillary electrophoresis (4). A laser reader detects the labeled fragments and generates a profile based on fragment lengths (5). Two methods have been widely used for separation of the fragments obtained after enzymatic restriction of labeled PCR products: gel electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gels and capillary electrophoresis. The former has until recently been more widespread and most of the available protocols for T-RFLP have used this method. However, capillary electrophoresis has been gaining popularity, but the standard procedures for the capillary equipment are not suitable for T-RFLP. Therefore we present a protocol for improved T-RFLP by capillary electrophoresis. The key new steps are identified below as [NEW].
Fingerprint Identification Standards For Emerging Applications
About transitions in fingerprinting technology, from a traditional law enforcement applications to new biometric technology.
http://www.dss.state.ct.us/digital/fpstand2.htm

Extractions: By Gordon H. Dechman Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) technology has been proven in law enforcement over the last 25 years, and the use of AFIS technology is rapidly expanding in a number of new applications areas including welfare. However, the rush to capitalize on the benefits of the technology, in advance of appropriate standards and technology validation methods, is likely to result in a widespread failure to achieve the very valuable programmatic expectations over the long term. For serious large-scale positive-identification applications, no other currently-available biometric technology comes close to fingerprints. Fingerprint identification technologies are: well established : fingerprint identification has been used in law enforcement applications over the past 100 years, and has become the de facto international standard for positive identification of individuals. proven : AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) technology has been developed, refined and proven in demanding law enforcement applications over the last two decades.

Click and Learn Click to Play Video We are used to the notion of using DNA fingerprinting (the pattern of digested DNA samples from an individual) to solve crimes. This method determines whether a suspect's DNA matches that found in trace evidence at a crime scene. Recently, this technology has been expanded to identify bacteria that are making people sick. One such bacterium, Escherichia. coli 0157:H7, is a strain that has caused major outbreaks of bloody diarrhea and kidney failure in children. Epidemiologists can use DNA fingerprinting to determine whether similar outbreaks are caused by the same strain of organism.

Fingerprinting Web Server Attacks
to increase the security in your kernel. Features, 3/6/2002 1251.fingerprinting Web Server Attacks. By zenomorph 03/06/2002 1322,
http://www.linuxsecurity.com/feature_stories/fingerprinting-http.html

Extractions: [Printer Friendly] In this article, zenomorph discusses multiple ways attackers attempt to exploit port 80 to gain control of a web server. Using this information, an administrator can learn to detect potential attacks and steps that are necessary to protect a server from them. Port 80 is the standard port for websites, and it can have a lot of different security issues. These holes can allow an attacker to gain either administrative access to the website, or even the web server itself. This second paper was written to help the average administrator and developer to have a better understanding of the types of threats that exist, along with how to detect them. This section has examples of more common fingerprints used in exploitation of both web applications, and web servers. This section is not supposed to show you every possible fingerprint, but instead show you more ways an attacker can possibly get into your system, along with how an attackers presence could be masked. These signatures should pick up most of the remaining methods not spoken about in the first paper. This section also describes what each signature is used for, along with examples of it being used in an attack.

DNA I.D.
Still, there are problems with DNA fingerprinting. What does DNA fingerprintinghave to contribute to identifying bugs on stiffs? ExCuse me?
http://whyfiles.org/014forensic/genetic_foren2.html

Extractions: Here's how DNA fingerprinting works (this procedure is done once on a sample of blood, semen, hair or skin cells from the crime scene, and again on samples taken from the suspect). You take some DNA and cut it with restriction enzymes ( defined ). These chemicals cut the long DNA molecule each time they recognize a certain sequences of sub-units, or bases. It's sort of like going through a phone book and cutting it just before the name "Norman." Thus each fragment would start with Norman. (Why are we picking on Norm? No reason. In genetics, you could just as easily search for the name "ACCGTAGCACGCCAGT," which are letters in the genetic "code" of DNA) The goal of this step is to cut up the DNA evidence into manageable fragments. Then you put the fragments on a layer of gelatin and hook up an electric field to the ends of the gelatin. When you switch on the current, it attracts the fragments across the field. The shorter fragments move faster than long ones, and that sorts the fragments by size. You attach radioactive markers to certain sequences of the DNA. For example, you might label every occurrence of DADDADCAT a different series of "letters" in DNA's alphabet.

http://whyfiles.org/126dna_forensic/

Extractions: Fortunately for Ochoa, evidence from the crime was still available for DNA fingerprinting, a simple test that can prove whether a biological sample did or did not come from a suspect. The arrival of cheap and fast DNA fingerprinting is overturning the quest to convict the guilty and free the innocent. The technology is far more specific than earlier tests of antibodies in blood or semen. Terry Laber, who directed the blood laboratory at the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, says, "Before DNA, you'd have a good suspect, and do all the tests you could do, and you'd end up with 30 percent to 40 percent of the population qualifying." But when biological samples from blood, skin cells or semen are DNA fingerprinted, the specific DNA sequence is extremely unlikely to be found except in the perpetrator. A match, Laber says, is "very powerful evidence." (For a prosecutor's story of DNA fingerprinting, see "And the Blood..." in the
