  4. If you still looking for a cheap controller on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deploy Small Office Wi-Fi SSIDs? · · Score: 1

    You could have a look at FortiWifi ( http://www.fortinet.com ).

    A FortiWifi that acts both AP and controller and additional Forti AP's to get the coverage needed.

    It's all strategy. When you can't run anything, you're as secure as you'll ever be!

  7. Re:Congrats Marratech on gTalk To Get Video Boost? · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's good to see that the development of Marratech has gotten in touch with the real world in the last couple of years. This wasn't all the case when the product was released in the mid/late 90's. A product which assumed that everyone had 100Mbit switched multicast routing enabled networks, and of course a 100Mbit internet access.

    Although being a geeky developer is often a good thing, the academic world somethimes clashes hard with the 'real world'.

    However the product has evolved, and now we have gotten our first Google office in Luleå!

  9. Itanium 2 on Sun Joins Apple in the Intel Camp for x86 Chips · · Score: 1

    Calling Itanium2 itanic in the same sentence as SPARC is a serious case of throwing stones in a glass house.

    Comparing SPARC, through out time, to other RISC archs has never made SUN proud. HP's PA-Risc has been beating it constantly on performance.
    The scalability of (atleast older) SPARC's was terrible, adding an extra 4 cpu's to a 12 cpu system wasn't 20% gain you'd hope for, it wasn't even 10.

    Although Itanium is Intels Apollo-11, Itanium2 is not.

    Check out www.spec.org and see for yourself. Out of the 'old unix gang', SPARC isn't in the game.

  10. sendmail tweaks on How To Fight Spam Using Your Postfix Configuration · · Score: 5, Informative

    A far more effective and less faulty way to filter out some spam can be done by using the new features added in sendmail 8.13.

    FEATURE(`great_pause',5000)
    That one is given in your .mc file.

    Wait's 5000ms to say HELO (EHLO) and all MTA's starting to send data (spambots not being all that RFC-aware) before that is discarded.

    I've measured that it atleast cuts 15-20% of the total amount of spam.

  11. Re:And we're going to fix this... on FBI Password Database Compromised by Consultant · · Score: 1
    Listen kids, Big98Boob$-311 as your password is pretty damned secure and makes a dictionaty attack useless against it.

    Big98Boob$-311 isn't all that secure, if it's for instance used in NTLM hashes. NTLM hashes is still frequently used at lots of companies that still hasn't been able to age out old NT4/Win95/98 and must have NTLM around for compability.

    Just a longer password still doesn't make NTLM secure, on the contrary, it might even make it less secure. NTLM is two 7-byte hashes added to each other.

    So the password ImSo-31337 would leave ImSo-31 in the first hash and 337 in the other, which would make any descent bruteforcing-program have the last hash in a split second.

    However NTLM might be a bad example for password security, it's still a major issue 'cause of it's wide spread. Any NTLM hash is bruteforced within 24h on any decent PC.

    But soon even SHA1 and MD5 might be out of touch for passwords, precompiled hashes is today's cracking solution. Check out http://www.rainbowcrack.com/ precompiled hashes for alphanumeric, symbol32 and so on. Big98Boob$-311 is perhaps a five minute job with the right rainbowcrack-hashes.

  12. Re:Irresponsible on Defeating China's National Firewall · · Score: 1
    It is irresponsible for people to post ways of bypassing the security restrictions a sovereign nation has enacted upon its people.

    Uhm. Helping people of non-democratic (and some democratic too) nations over throw their government has been of major intrest for the U.S for quite some time. Colombia, Argentina, Cuba, Iran... just naming a few.

    If the Chinese people don't like the way their government....

    Hold it, right there. Some students and other people did some protesting (for a much greater cause) back in 1989... Tiananmen Square... ring a bell ?

  13. Hardcore hardware on Under a Big Blue Shadow · · Score: 1

    "What brand runs most Linuxes"
    This is just about the hardware, and the hardware only. HP's Proliant series is still way ahead of IBM, FujitsuSiemens, Dell and so on.

    But the hardware agents for Linux blows, the driver support blows and to call their Linux support for support is hypocrisy.

    This is a plain hardware issue.
