New Oracle security papers and Oracle forensics tool

David has released four new papers on Oracle security topics a few days ago. Two of the papers seem to be from his ill fated book on Oracle Forensics as they are labelled http://www.v3rity.com/OracleForensicsHowAttackersBreakIn.pdf - (broken link)chapter 3 - How attackers break in and http://www.v3rity.com/OracleForensicsPreventingBreakIns.pdf - (broken link) chapter 4 - Preventing break ins respectively but one is perhaps too short for a book.
