My company recently purchased an SSL cert from verisign and recently received an email from http://www.qualys.com (in conj. with our purchase) to perform a web based security scan of internet facing machines, such as web servers. The results and demo reports appeared a bit better than our usual Nesus vulneravility scan, however, Qualsys is not free. Try these tools out, for web servers, they have done quite well for my end.
I often wonder how apache will come to play in the future of enterprise level hosting. At my company we currently offer a multi-tiered solution where apache sits in front as more of a security/proxy device and handles all SSL communication. On another tier, weblogic, even though it contains its own http services is accessed via the weblogic proxy module in apache. (Same goes for our websphere offering). While there are many benefits to this setup, I often wonder how long a web server such as apache will be needed in this common type of setup. It's forseeable that clients in future time may just connect directly to the application server which sits behind some other type of security device, such as a firewall. What are your thoughts?
While I don't have CT, I did suffer from this annoying wrist and forearm pain from time to time. I've found that a regular workout program that includes forearm curls and streching/flexing have cut down my pain to just about none.
Try the wrist curls sometime... Chicks dig my Popeye forearms now.
Reminds me of that dell commercial where users had to go through computer boot camp.
I notice a steady flow of anti-microsoft commentary when an outbreak such as this occurs. Remember... it was the user (is luser appropriate here?), and not microsoft that "stuck the needle in their arms."
During times like this - I think back to the amount of times I've ever gotten infected by a virus... none, I've never used AV software and probably never will - I just don't have a need, just like many other slashdotters.
Why is this you ask? Easy, because we know better. All of the hours spent in front of our boxes have allowed us to developed a trained eye... quick to point out a bullshit email subject or attachment.
The common user does not know any better and keeps infecteing themself with the virus of the month. AV software isn't always of help because viruses are created faster than the AV companies can update their definitions.
The solution lies in user training. How can mass user training be accomplished? I think OS's after being installed or used for the first time should offer (or mandate) a presentation on secure computer usage.. what to look out for, and things not to do when on the computer, such as give out credit card info or fall for Nigerian scams.
A utility called PaneKiller serves as an add on for your Windows Task bar. You can directory surf, detach views (like KDE), plus much more. This utility helped me alot when I coded for a living.
Windows as a desktop. I like linux too. I don't see what's so bad about having windows as my primary OS. Cost? Yeah, right... like I've ever paid for any verion of windows I've ever had. Just as free as linux to me. Performance/Stability?... I never have problems with win 2k or XP. Never had problems with linux either.
In other unrelated news today, AMD engineers were caught lifting a giant object from Intel's lab. Camera man caught special footage of the object here.
I don't see how this is so bad. If you have ever been in an American Casino, then guess what... you've been watched upon over and over again. It doesnt bother me nor does it bother anyone that I know of. I belive that the slogan "If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear." is true and agree with it.
Slashdot Mirror
that has got to be the worst translation service I've ever seen.
Well, DUH! Just move to the next p2p software. Kazaa was shit anyway.
The Wintendo and the Super Microsoft Office Brothers.
Like, Duh!
Joe_User: Why is my computer running so slow?
Me: Maybe it's all the fucking programs you download and install!
BSD is dying...
NOT! Kudos on the new release!

Faster porn then?
Thanks to a typo I make $.600 dollars an hour ...oh, wait
Shut up and get back to work! :)

PaneKiller
Come on, like we all didn't see this coming!
Now maybe other airlines will learn from their mistakes.
Ahhh... yes, the question that everyone wants the answer to... Does it run linux?
Fcuk The Feds!!! Sue Me!!!
Let's send Bush to the moon.

I'm not surprised, it's what a monopoly would do!
As a dedicated IE user, I must say, this new Mozilla release is very nice. Smooth all the way.

I work on Wall St. I am scared to go back to work now. Maybe I'm being over-reactive, maybe not.
Maybe these machines can be used for Ubiquitous Surveillance
