Re: What are the most stable distros?

2011-07-28 Thread Jordan Aberle

the other.

Sysinternals can do everything you need, take a look specifically at Procmon

Re: Unix admin traits. (humor)

2011-02-15 Thread Jordan Aberle
I read that on slashdot today, good stuff.

Veteran Unix admin trait No. 8: We know more about Windows than we'll
ever let on
Though we may not run Windows on our personal machines or appear to
care a whit about Windows servers, we're generally quite capable at
diagnosing and fixing Windows problems. This is because we've had to
deal with these problems when they bleed over into our territory.
However, we do not like to acknowledge this fact, because most times
Windows doesn't subscribe to the same deeply logical foundations as
Unix, and that bothers us. See traits No. 5 and 6 above.

Fwd: Hurricane Electric IPv6 Update

2011-02-04 Thread Jordan Aberle
IPV6, YAY! :)

-- Forwarded message --
From: Hurricane Electric 
Date: Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 9:18 PM
Subject: Hurricane Electric IPv6 Update
To: jordan.abe...@gmail.com


* IANA IPv4 Exhaustion

At a ceremony held on 3 February, 2011 the Internet Assigned
Numbers Authority (IANA) allocated the remaining last five /8s of
IPv4 address space to the Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) in
accordance with the Global Policy for the Allocation of the
Remaining IPv4 Address Space. With this action, the free pool of
available IPv4 addresses is now fully depleted. To read the full
text of this announcement please go to:

http://www.nro.net/news/ipv4-free-pool-depleted

* World IPv6 Day

Facebook, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO), websites
with more than one billion combined visits each day, are joining
major content delivery networks Akamai (NASDAQ: AKAM) and
Limelight Networks (NASDAQ: LLNW), and the Internet Society, for
the first global-scale trial of the new Internet Protocol, IPv6.
On June 8, 2011, dubbed World IPv6 Day, participants will enable
IPv6 on their main services for 24 hours.  Cisco, Juniper,
Hurricane Electric, and Bing have also announced their
participation.

http://isoc.org/wp/worldipv6day/

Hurricane Electric's open letter to Hurricane Electric Customers,
Partners and Managers of Interconnected Networks about World IPv6
Day.

http://he.net/news/Hurricane_Electric_Letter_Regarding_World_IPv6_Day.pdf

At Hurricane Electric, every day is an IPv6 day.

* IPv6 Deployment Growth
The global IPv6 routing table has passed 4000 IPv6 prefixes.

Of the 36820 networks in the world running BGP, the number running
IPv6 has increased to 3107, or 8.4 percent.

Source: http://bgp.he.net/ipv6-progress-report.cgi

* Hurricane Electric Updated Network Map
We've continued to expand our network.

Updated Network Map: http://he.net/HurricaneElectricNetworkMap.pdf

Hurricane Electric now has over 6000 BGP sessions with over 1600
IPv4 and IPv6 networks at 45 different exchange points in North
America, Europe, and Asia.

Try this trick:
http://labnol.blogspot.com/2005/12/convert-doc-xls-ppt-rtf-pdf-to-html.html

"1. Compose a new message in GMail. (If you are still without a GMail
account, request a GMail Invitation code)

2. Attach any PDF or Word document that you want to convert to HTML
You can attach multiple files in this step by clicking Attach another
File.

3. Enter your own email address in the To: box and click send.

4. You instantly receive a message in your GMail Inbox folder. Open
the message and click the "View as HTML" link next to your attachment.

5. The contents of your attachment appear as HTML in a new browser
window without having to download the file. When you're finished
reading the attached file, close the new browser window to return to
Gmail or Save the file to your harddrive."

A few words about Truecrypt.

Overall I really like truecrypt, of course there are risks when using
any kind of encryption.  If the volume gets corrupt the chances of
recovering data are slim to none.  An obvious easy solution is:
Backup. :)  The chances of a truecrypt volume failing as well as a
truecrypt backup volume failing at the same time are very low.

Re: OpenBSD and the FBI

2010-12-20 Thread Jordan Aberle
It's good to have topics like these that invoke thought.

My 2cents:

I try to apply moderation in every way in my life, too much of
something isn't a good thing.  I think this idea applies to security
as well.  I'm not saying just moderate security, I think we all know
here encryption, in the end can be cracked.  If you invoke a high
amount of encryption (mixing encryption algorithms) the system will
take a significant performance hit.  This of course can be
counterproductive.  I've ran a mixture of unix and linux boxes that
host shell accounts for irc and the like.  These types of boxes tend
to attract the script kiddie types.

I have found the best approach is having multiple different forms of
security set at a moderate level, if one type of security fails there
are fallbacks.  By having multiple security mechanisms an attacker has
to make sure he takes care of all the different variables instead of
just one rock solid variable.  This takes considerably more time and a
chance an attacker will miss something.

In fact, I have caught a few people by purposely leaving something
obviously vulnerable.  They are able to get to a certain point but not
able to gain enough power to modify monitoring tools or log files.
This is a good way to get the bad eggs off of the box.

Re: Looking For Software to Check A Hard Drive

2010-12-18 Thread Jordan Aberle
Use the manufacturer's diagnostic software, they all have their own.
Simply go to the website and click support, look for diagnostic hard
drive software.  Most of them require that you extract the files to a
bootable cd or floppy disk and run the test outside linux or windows.

If the hard drive is in warranty and it fails the test just give them
a call, they will give you an RMA number.

Re: OpenBSD and the FBI

2010-12-17 Thread Jordan Aberle
First of all, I don't believe in bloated *nix installs, all my servers are
setup from the bare minimum, I install only packages that are needed for
that server's purpose.  I do agree, DNS is one of the weakest points when it
comes to security.  It also helps to run things on non standard ports.  If
someone does try an attack they will need to figure out what is running on
that port.  Disabling version replies is also very important.  It will be
tougher to run things like metasploit if you don't know the version of the
service running.  Packet filtering and IDS I take to heart. :)

I prefer security at the router level, I drop packets from everywhere except
for a specific whitelist I created, if I need to go somewhere
(incoming/outgoing) I modify my protocol rules for specific addresses.  It
is time consuming when you are starting from scratch but it's worth it in
the wrong run.  I have windows boxes and linux boxes, my windows boxes have
never been infected since naturally all ad generated sites are blocked at
the router level.  If I do online banking etc, I go one step further by
connecting through a secure squid proxy via a server I have setup at a
datacenter in Dallas.  If the government ever wants to monitor me I'm sure
they can figure out a way but it's going to be a pain in the ass for them to
do so.  Truecrypt is a very nice thing to have as well, it doesn't do it's
job if you don't have your system to be configured to lock after a certain
amount of idle time though.  The point of truecrypt is to make a person
reboot the machine, at that point they are pretty screwed unless they are
very quick about freezing the ram to extract the keys.  Even then, it's
unlikely to be successful.

Re: Is there something such as celluar wireless to connect with an ISP ?

2010-12-03 Thread Jordan Aberle
Aye, I have the Android 2.2 version, the wireless tethering just
works.  Maybe I'm suppose to be paying something extra but I haven't
had to yet.  I simply connect to the wireless network created by my
phone and I'm able to access the internet on my laptop.

Android phone with an app called wireless tethering - it turns your
cell phone into a wireless hotspot that your computer can connect to.
You use the data/internet connection through your phone on your
laptop.

Plug website down

2010-10-29 Thread Jordan Aberle
I have tried to visit the website last night as well as this morning but
there seems to be a database problem.  It is saying 'mysql: too many
connections' but I tried accessing the website early this morning - I doubt
it was getting bombarded by millions of plug members. :)

Any eta?

Thanks,

Correct, I had the preyproject installed on it but for some reason it isn't
something I can mark as missing.  I remember there is another application
that was just on it by default that I also activated.

The more you add and remove the cooler from the MB the harder it is to work
with. I wonder about the intel engineers sometimes, this is really the best
they could come up with??
