Re: [Hampshire] [OT] Citrix
as others have said try it you might just like it... as for "locked down desktop" LOL we at work have yet to see a well locked down citrix environment, infact it has become a bit of a joke contest to see who can "break out" of the citrix environment the fastest, i believe the current record is ~3 seconds and this was done by someone just slapping both hands down on the keyboard... but on average "breakouts" normally take 15 seconds or so because of the need to type something. It is then just a matter of owning the host environment.

Re: [Hampshire] [Surrey] Aldershot Hackspace?
for those that keep asking abotu what a hackspace can provide them... "Hackerspaces are physical places where people can meet to learn, socialise and collaborate on projects. " there will be space to work on projects electrical/mechanical/other as well as like minded people around to help and to be helped! many hackspaces (including our one) allow people to come along FOR FREE to check them out, available at most places will be kit that either you do not have or you wish to share, already we have had donations of things such as pillar drills... we would hope in time to offer such things as 3d printers and cnc machines as well as masterclasses in certain fields. Yes the lugs could meet at the hackspace although a token donation might be nice by some non-members. If you think you can help out by donating kit/time/money the please let me know off list. Already we have 4 or 5 solid pledges to join up even at £20/month - the more people who join the lower the price will become (so ask your friends) We shall be looking into setting up a website/mailing list as soon as we believe the thing will take off. -- Freakyclown -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
Re: [Hampshire] [Surrey] Aldershot Hackspace?
Guys and girls, I am glad there is alot of interest in this - so to some of the questions raised. £20/month was an out of the air figure just used and is NOT indicative of the actual cost it WILL require some individuals to pay over the odds just to set this up, but i am sure we can do it! so memberships will probably be more inline with what was suggested being much less than £20/give what you can Yes we know about reading hackspace and yes its only 20 miles from aldershot BUT its too far for alot of people to get to from the south west http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_Hacker_Spaces check the map here and you will see a hackspace in aldershot would cover a large area! I can not see a reason that LUG meetings could not be held there As for minimum age again I have no idea on that, this was just to gauge interest in if myself and the other parties should bother looking into this further if the price was a more sedate £5 or at most £10 would more people consider joining? -- Freakyclown -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

[Hampshire] Sorry for the cross post but you need to read this.
I dont normally let out stuff like this, but thought you lot should known. So far confirmed with: Gentoo Fedora ArchLinux You can kill a locked screen by pressing ctrl+alt+* please try this to see if you are vulnerable to this attack and let the list know your OS if different to the above.

Re: [Hampshire] Linux printer recommendations.
I hate all printers - they are the only piece of technology that has not gotten significantly better in 5 years - however I recently HAD to buy a printer and was shocked at how easy the Kodak ESP 7250 was to get workign in linux - it literally was 30 seconds - I was gobsmacked. -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --

Re: [Hampshire] DDoS survival strategies
Forgive me for not reading teh entire post as I currently do not have the time (i shall no doubt put my foot in my mouth) but I have digressed enough. I have to say that due to the nature of my job, the use of website GET requests to DDoS attack a site is becoming more rare, in the future even with IPv6, i can see it becoming used even less - the current field of attacks and a massively greater success is in the field of DDoSing the webserver in a different manner e.g resource hogging. In fact I was present only the other day during a conference where such a new tool was demonstrated to effectively take down a powerful webserver with a single IP with a 3g dongle, thankfully as yet this tool remains in teh hands of professionals and not the public domain. Alot of these new style attacks can not currently be stopped with out massive amounts of resources, even so I have seen demonstrations showing that even the "big boys" out there can not stop this type of resource of attack. so what does the future hold? well with ipv6 it just means the Chinese and the PLA will use a beowulf cluster of fridges and toasters (not the amiga one) and what ever bloody else gets a net presence to drain the resources of your puny web server. just my two cents from the other side of the fence :) -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
