RE: OT : *current* recommendations for HTC EVO root

I’ve seen a few with current dates, but wondering if anyone else had gone
down this road recently

Hi Erik,

 

I guess Cyanogen is out?

 

I haven't seen anything to suggest that they were not supported anymore:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Evo_4G:_FAQ 

 

I did see the following, and they were pretty current and seem promising:

some of the early recommended roots no longer work with the current EVO,

Does anyone have legitimate recommendations for what version to use for
root-ing my current EVO, and why it would be a good choice ?

RE: Archiving Solutions?

[Ken Schaefer]

Hi,

If you have no special requirements, then a simple script that looks at Date 
Last Modified or Archive bit will work, since all you want to do is move it to 
another location. I'm not sure why you'd look at optical storage as a final 
backup - for several TB of data I think it'd be a nightmare to manage. Since 
you have Commvault, surely tape would be a better option?

I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but the requirements below are vague. If you 
have 1000 file servers, then obviously the solution is going to be different to 
if you have 10.
If you have locations in hundreds of locations, the requirements will be 
different to if you have 1.
If you have 10,000 users, then having files "disappear" and appear in some 
other location is not going to be feasible, both from user education PoV and a 
supportability PoV
Your backup software might restore the file to its original location, or the 
backup location depending on when it was backed up: will have that an impact on 
quotas (if you have them), or EFS (if you use that), or a myriad of other 
things (your file access auditing system).
Even if it's archive data, people might expect to be able to access it at 24 
hours' notice, or 48 hours' notice, or similar. So RTO is still important: 
depending on what your IT department has committed to the business.
Etc.

Cheers
Ken

Short term building up to a few Tb, long term goodness knows.  RPO/RTO I take 
the view that it's archive data, so just being able to get it back is as far as 
a firm RPO/RTO requirement goes.

Providing good redundant secondary storage is something I can easily cover, 
what I'm interested in is how to identify/get the data onto it, and whether 
people use tape, optical, something else as their full/final long term copy?

I also think that something such as Enterprise Vault is overkill (we use 
Commvault for backup who do their own archiving product which I also think 
would be overkill), I'm also not convinced we need something that replaces 
files with stubs, just having a \\archive\ UNC path would 
probably do the job at our level.

I'm looking at how we archive data once it no longer needs to be on primary 
storage.

What are people using that will do the basic job of identifying folders that 
have not changed in X period of time, and moving those folders to a second 
location on secondary storage?

Once it's there, presumably it's not being backed up weekly along with your 
primary data, so how are you creating an offline "full and final copy" should 
the secondary storage fail please?

RE: Check your CC cards if you are holding a Mastercard or Visa, major breach announced 10M+ in cards

[Ken Schaefer]

Encrypting card information, even at rest, has no benefit, if the systems that 
access that data need to decrypt it to use it. All one has done is move the 
security pressure point from the storage of the raw data, to security of the 
encryption keys. CVV codes have no benefit if the acquirer stores these as well.

2FA can help - all banks in Singapore issue tokens to customers, and all use 
Verified by Visa and Mastercard Securecode.

Additionally all cards are chip enabled. Issuing smart card readers to everyone 
would probably solve a lot of problems, as long as merchants don't store the 
public key.

  Encryption does not address most of the active security threats out there.  
To quote Eugene "spaf" Spafford, "Using encryption on the Internet is the 
equilvant of arranging an armored car to deliver credit card information from 
someone living in a cardboard box to someone living on a park bench."  He said 
this over a decade ago, and it's even more true today.  If the endpoints are 
very vulnerable, a secure link is worthless.

FTA: "The illegal use of the data could be stymied if an online merchant asks 
for the three or four digits printed on a card known as the 'CVV code.'"

  It's a well-known maxim that security, like a chain, is only as good as the 
weakest link.  Part of the problem with bank card security is that many vendors 
and stations employ a minimum of security.  It does no good that only some 
vendors adopt stronger security; the bad guys know to use the weak vendors.

  From this follows a multi-faceted problem -- technology, cost, and people.  
Stronger security could be implemented (tech).  But such measures would require 
wholesale replacement of merchant equipment and software (cost).  People don't 
want to pay for real security most of the time (people).  Those of us who would 
actually be willing -- even on an elective basis -- are too few to afford it on 
even an amortized basis.

  Unfortunately, I expect things will have to get much worse before enough 
people see the value in information security.
