Apple Releases Mac OS X Leopard Security Guide
Wormfan writes to share ZDNet's brief mention of and a link to "Apple's release of a ~250 page PDF of security best-practices and tips to protect Mac OS X Leopard clients. The guide is aimed at experienced users, Apple says, familiar with the Terminal application and its command-line interface."
That is why on my grandmother's machine I put a hardware lock, set firmware password, enabled stealth network mode and secured virtual memory. I will be damned if those dirty hackers find out which bunt cake recipes she has been looking at.
Excellent!
1) Read 250 pages.
2) Charge $NNN an hour for "Security Services".
3) Profit!!!
AND YO 'D think they WO LD have FIG RED that O T!
Anybody know the reason for this?
From this page on Open Firmware passwords, they list the following:
Blocks the ability to use the "C" key to start up from an optical disc.
Blocks the ability to use the "N" key to start up from a NetBoot server.
Blocks the ability to use the "T" key to start up in Target Disk Mode (on computers that offer this feature).
I wonder if the missing U has something to do with those... : p
This guy's the limit!
On Slashdot, the word "cunt" is informative. You can't make that up.
Apple is a US based company
Only in Soviet Russia, passwords contain U.
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
You need to upgrade your irrational prejudices. Macs get gray screens of death. Happened to my MacBook last week. It took me a whole hour to drive down to the apple store, get it fixed(hard drive replaced) by a mac genius, and drive back home. Ridiculous! A whole hour! To fix a major hardware flaw! On Windows, just futzing with driver settings to fix a blue screen would've taken four or five hours, but I wouldn't have had to drive anywhere!
