Re: Cisco ASA question
*and* I'd recommend checking SMTP relay on internal mail server. Is it allowing internal systems to relay smtp traffic instead of smtp direct ?

In particular we’ve been on spamhaus and I think there is an internal machine sending out smtp messages. Short term solution would be to restrict out smtp to our mail servers only. On the ASA | Configuration | Access Rules, I created an inside à outside rule. Traffic from mail server out, smtp, permit. Other rule has traffic as deny. This does not seem correct, even me being new to ASA.

I have a new client that has 4 total offices across the US. Each of the 4 offices are basically a home-office with only 1 current user (potential to grow to 5-10 users at each office over the next couple years). The owner decided he would like a server at the main office location, mainly for the purpose of storing/sharing files that would be accessible between himself and users at the other 3 remote offices. Currently they send emails with attachments to share these files, which leads to versions/copies of files, and no central location for file storage (something he really wants) and onsite backups. He wants the files and data on a single server/device instead. I was imagining putting a single Dell/HP entry level file server on his site, running Windows 2008 R2 and potentially just leaving it in a Workgroup (I don't know if the user machines are Home/Pro editions of Windows yet) and sharing out the files/folders he wants. I'd have to setup a VPN tunnel between his main office and each of the 3 remote offices so the remote users had access to the server at his site. I've had good success with Mikrotik routers for this in the past with smaller sized customers. I don't think he really wants a cloud based solution so I'm just looking for input on small office file-sharing and easist ways to make it happen.

RE: Reality check
From a security principles standpoint, that was spot on. Falls under the concept of Least Privilege. Provide absolutely ALL the privilege needed to perform required duties, but not any privilege in excess. Domain admin for a local install would be a violation of best practice. From: David Lum [mailto:david@nwea.org] Sent: Friday, June 08, 2012 9:11 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Reality check A fellow team member (not an SE, but more of an application owner type of tech person) needs Local Admin access to a server to install and configure a new application on it. I understand the need and agree with it. Instead of just throwing his account into the local admin group on that server I did the following: Created a LA-servername account (LA= Local Admin) Created a security group called LA-servername_LocalAdmin, added the above to it Created a GPO to put said security group into local admins on that server My thinking is 1. This keeps him from using his daily account to be local admin on the box 2. I don't have an individual assignment on that server In general, I view putting a user specifically into a server's local group as the same as putting a user (instead of a group) into the ACL of an NTFS folder. If said employee leaves, it's difficult/tedious to see where they had access TO so we have no idea where their replacement might need to be added. However, was that really too much work to give the guy the ability to log in as local admin?

We have purchased three Xerox Phaser 6280 DN units over the past few years. They are way overkill for our expected print volume, but they were the cheapest, smallest thing I could find that didn't obviously suck. http://www.office.xerox.com/printers/color-printers/phaser-6280/enus.html The 6280 is also available in an MFD variant, of which I know nothing beyond its existence, but from the web site picture, appears to be the same printer with a scan deck bolted on top (like most MFD lasers these days). These are single-pass color laser printers. 600 DPI. Duplex. USB, Ethernet. PCL5, PCL6 (AKA PCL-XL), PostScript 3.Drivers (or equivalent) are offered for Windows, as well as Mac OS X, Linux (CUPS), and AS/400 (!?). 1-year on-site warranty. Network protocols included in the marketing brochure (possibly also the product) are: Print: LPR; raw TCP (Port 9100); SMB; FTP; IPP Transport: IP; IPX; NetBEUI Management: SNMP; HTTP; SMTP; Telent Discovery: mDNS; WSD Stock paper supplies are the 250 sheet main drawer and a fold-down 150 sheet bypass tray (Multi-Purpose Tray, or MPT). An optional 550 sheet stack-on drawer is advertised. Stock RAM is 256 MB. Max RAM advertised as 1.25 GB. A hard disk drive kit is advertised. The main consumables are four print cartridges (CMYK), each combining toner supply and photo-drum. Available in two sizes (page count capacities). The high-cap black is rated at 7000 pages; the high-cap color, 5900 pages. Using CDW's prices, I worked it out to $0.14/page, which seems typical for machines of this type. Long-life consumables would be the fuser and transfer unit (belt); both rated at 100K pages. Tech information available to me is excellent by contemporary standards. The manual covers the basics for installation, usage, maintenance, and diagnostics. Coverage of more advanced topics for drivers and the embedded network controller/server/thingy is minimal in the manual, but the online help for both is mostly complete. The website knowledge base details a lot of diagnostic/repair procedures. Illustrations/pictures are clear. *Well-written English*, which counts for a lot (Konica, I'm looking at you). There are still a few mystery settings if you dig deep enough. (Do I want Account Mode to be User or Administrator? (I eventually decided Manage Account should be unchecked, and Account Mode should be User. Seems to work for us. My best guess is that the other settings are used if you want stricter print accounting (such as password printing or control panel lockout).)) Speed is very good. In my testing: Around 25 pages/minute (color, single-sided). FPO (first page out) is 13 seconds from warm standby, 38 seconds from a cold start, 1:27 for first-power-on after out-of-box, with all new cartridges. Opening the cover and/or re-seating print cartridges triggers a calibration cycle, but it's typically 6 seconds. Network thingy takes 45 seconds to become ready after reboot or cold start. That might be due to our use of DHCP; did not test with static IP address. But it means the print engine is usually ready to print well before the controller can accept jobs. OTOH, since we usually never power off our printers, this is rarely an issue for us. The duplexer is of the reversing type (spits the page most of the way out, then pulls it back in). That means duplexing is slower than a forward-only duplexer. However, it is good enough to start printing side 1 of page N+1 while recycling page N to print side 2. Windows drivers are available in model-specific or GPD (Global Print Driver) variants. Each of those are available in PCL5, PCL6, or PostScript variants. The models-specific stuff is small (1 to 4 MB); the GPD is 33 MB. I went with the model-specific driver. The PCL drivers generated much smaller print jobs, which printed much faster, vs PostScript.

There’s always noobies that don’t know the social rules of the list, but then there are leeches ( I don’t need to name names because they’re self obvious ) that keep coming back to the list without any evidence of having done any of the groundwork themselves… some come back over and over and over, always claiming lack of time, or lack of funds, but we all know what they’re lacking … and they are NOT peers to engage in peer level discussions. Some get offended by ‘unprofessional’ harsh language when others are called out, but unless the harsh language is directed at me, I don’t take it personally, nor should others on the list. But I cannot tell you how to react, that’s your own responsibility. And as infrequently as such ‘harsh’ language is used here, well, it is not the rule but the exception.

Bill Gates and Paul Allen dropped out of college to form the company in 1975. It's that simple: Drop out of college, start a company, and become a billionaire, right? Wrong. Further study reveals that Gates and Allen had thousands of hours of programming practice prior to founding Microsoft. First, the two co-founders met at Lakeside, an elite private school in the Seattle area. The school raised three thousand dollars to purchase a computer terminal for the school's computer club in 1968. A computer terminal at a university was rare in 1968. Gates had access to a terminal in eighth grade. Gates and Allen quickly became addicted to programming. The Gates family lived near the University of Washington. As a teenager, Gates fed his programming addiction by sneaking out of his parents' home after bedtime to use the University's computer. Gates Allen acquired their10,000 hours through this and other clever teenage schemes. When the time came to launch Microsoft in 1975, the two were ready. http://www.wisdomgroup.com/report/1_hours_of_practice/ And another recommended read: http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2011/12/a_fast_track_to_1_hours_of.html Dave. -Original Message- From: Ben M.

I found this on the blog from Coretrace, and they said: This week, McAfee, one of the two dominant forces in reactive, blacklist-based endpoint security, actively and unequivocally endorsed Application Whitelisting. Ironically, in hard coverage of Symantec's recent problems with pcAnywhere, the industry is actively recommending application whitelisting too. Here is the link: http://www.coretraceblogs.com/2012-01/security-earthquake-that-nobody - felt-mcafee-endorses-application-whitelisting/ So, what is the big news? It turns security on its head. Instead of keeping bad code out, with application whitelisting (also known as Application Control) you only allow known-good code to run. That's really a 180, and very, very interesting from a system admin perspective. I have done some research in this area and have written a whitepaper about whitelisting, and why as a system admin you should look into this for the near future. This is a new security layer for your 'defense-in-depth'. You will hear more from me about whitelisting this year: http://www.knowbe4.com/resources/the-endpoint-security-advantages-of- w hitelisting-a-whitepaper-for-system-administrators/ Warm regards, Stu ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/ ~ --- To

Re: SEP 11 and issues seen with DAT updates
SEP 11, to the best of my knowledge, does NOT allow you to schedule definition download windows to the client, only the times that the SEPM servers will download from the LiveUpdate site on the internet. How many endpoints do you have, and what is their check in (heart beat) interval ? If they are on one hour check-in to the SEPM server(s), have your SEPM download schedule stop by 10:30pm, then the latest new definition should appear to clients around 11pm, and hopefully they all update before 6am. You'll want to use a short window which will put you at one definition update per day instead of three, but makes it manageable. I work with a LARGE client doing something similar with their SEP.

Things seemed a bit smoother but still had way too many failures of the Client. Once the server was up and running it was like a rock.

Re: 802.11 Wireless VGA Extension
$700 ? wow, they're sure proud of that device ! I picked up a wireless HDMI transmitter/receiver ( Vizio ) for around $150 , has switchable 4 input source, 1 output , sure wish they had a VGA connector option. On Wed, Nov 23, 2011 at 9:32 AM, N Parr npar...@mortonind.com wrote: ** Just thought I'd follow up on some solutions I've found since a variant of this question seems to come up occasionally. http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=3811sku=29505# Their Trulink system does it all for connectivity, wired and wireless. But very expensive per endpoint, over $700. IOGear makes a wireless USB Hub ~$60, so I got the idea to connect one of my Kensington USB/VGA adapters to it, ~$60. They said you can't connect to multiple devices across hubs or VGA adapters but I tried it anyway and it works. Works very well hard wired, but if you don't have great wireless connection the Kensington driver will have issues trying to keep video in sync across multiple devices and fail miserably with one wired and one wireless. We have an old Cisco Aironet wireless infrastructure and I don't have great signal at my desk. Maybe when we get our Aruba system in I'll have better results with using wireless. I'm running it from a VM and network BW is averaging around 200k to run two monitors with slideshows that update every 5 sec. CPU is bouncing around 5-15%. Kensington says you can run 6 adapters from one PC. If I remember someone asked a while back about splitting an excel file across multiple TV's. This would work because the driver lets you decide where you want the monitors positioned (or mirrored) and how you want them rotated. Startech make an Ethernet to VGA adapter which is basically an Ethernet USB hub with the VGA adapter built in, ~$120. From the help file it looks like it uses the exact same configuration software as the Kensington USB/VGA adapter. I called their tech support to ask if it would unofficially support sending video to multiple devices. The tech I talked to was excellent. He confirmed it wasn't officially supported but that it would work and seem genuinely interested it what I was trying to accomplish. And he spoke English. So I'm going to test my setup with a couple of these also. -- *From:* N Parr *Sent:* Friday, November 18, 2011 1:04 PM *To:* NT System Admin Issues *Subject:* 802.11 Wireless VGA Extension Can anyone point me to a product like this. I just don't have much experience with digital signage. Basically want a video switch where the remotes can be connected via standard Wi-Fi. I've found a lot of remote vga solutions but they all either use their own build it wireless or some type of physical connection. I'm wanting to distribute over the facility wireless network. I've checked out Avocent and some similar manufactures. Even thought of a wireless/Ethernet attached USB hub with a VGA adapter on it. Afraid I may have BW issues trying to move Video that way and I would have to put one at each remote and want to run multiple devices from a single PC. I can't find any that allow you to attach to devices across multiple hubs. In the end it may just be cheaper to use some cheap old micro pc's at each location but I would prefer to make it as solid state as possible because the environment they are in will kill anything with a fan pretty quick. I'm doing some kiosk type TV's now with old pc's on them running slideshows but this has the potential to be 20-30 more devices and I would really like it to be as centrally managed as possible.

I suppose your other alternative is to bring a wireless laptop to your workout dungeon to access your main storage, but that seems overkill to me ( not to mention potential risk to the laptop in that workout environment ) On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 8:01 AM, James Rankin kz2...@googlemail.com wrote: Sounds fairly decent and straightforward.

Re: Would you drop AV for Whitelisting / Application Control?
again, depends on your whitelisting solution - does it only depend on filename and size/date info - that can be spoofed - does it also checksum executables ? - what happens on patch Tuesday ? - are patches/hotfixes even allowed to run ? - what happens to patched software that no longer matches checksum - especially when patched software is OS core ? do you brick machine via whitelist protection ? - how do you manage whitlelisting for power users with LOTS of installed software and legitimate need to install utilities and updates on the fly ? I've found whitelisting to be very good on 'standardized' systems that perform a specific role, but the more a system needs to be customized for the end user, the harder it is to mange security via whitelisting.

I haven't dealt much with AV over the last year, but I liked Vipre Enterprise last time I did. However we did move from Symantec so anything would probably have been a vast improvement. I notice a lot of people are fans of the MS offerings now (Forefront, Security Essentials, etc, don't know the exact current brand names). Truth be known is that no AV can provide 100% coverage, and the ones that provide advanced heuristic detection are usually the ones with the bigger footprints. I'm personally a fan of coupling up your reactive AV with something like AppLocker from MS, if you're an AD shop, and obviously some good event log monitoring procedures.
