  1. Re:SLA on IT Manager's Handbook · · Score: 1

    Odd, I thought it was you get half as many people to do 4 times more work. I will have to wiki that again. ;-)

  2. Re:other options on Future Ships Could Float On Bubbles · · Score: 1

    This is not new at all. The US Navy has certain classes of fast ships that use this technology to gain speed.

  3. Re:Cool hack, but who cares... on Wi-Fi Fingerprints -- the End of MAC Spoofing? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With proper authentication? I hope you mean WPA2, because even the FBI can crack WPA in 20 minutes or less (with 2 computers). WPA2 Would just mean you need a more powerful computer to crack it. MAC spoofing combined with WPA crack means that your WAP is open to any hacker with a cd drive and the correct wireless card.

  4. Re:The information needed to rebuild my life on What's On Your Thumbdrive? · · Score: 1

    "Its all easy to get from the relevant government sources and its theres a risk of identity theft if you have it all on a USB drive or store in multiple places?"

    Not true, first they go to great pains to explain that this data should be encryted with a third party program (even mentioning that you should not store the unecryted data on this drive, as it could be recovered).

    As stated, this is based of the stuff that happened during Katrina, this is the worst of all examples of American disaster response. This is an obvious example of a worst case. During this disaster government agencies and businesses where GONE, their was no way to get this information. For instance if you use BOA a LARGE bank, you have to hope that you can find phone time to get your info. The local bank was under 8' of water, so they can do nothing. This stuff makes sense, a little time consuming but worth the effort, especially in coastal areas and tornado zones, and all the other areas prone to bad stuff.

  5. Re:Here are two excellent resources... on What's On Your Thumbdrive? · · Score: 1

    Also of note, BartPE runs all apps that require writing to a hard drive on a Virtual Drive (I am sure you remember those). So, no anyoying clean up afterwords.

  6. Re:Oh, you mean Knoppix? :-) (or BBC) on What's On Your Thumbdrive? · · Score: 1

    "And of course thumbdrives can do the same thing,
    but you need to be Really Really careful about viruses,
    not only because we're reinventing the floppy disk virus vector,
    but because one of the times you really need this sort of tool
    is when a machine might be infected - CDROMs are really safe."

    My Thumbdrive is also of the removeable type (SD Cards), and each SD Card has a Read Only Switch. Which I use when running tools on a infected computer. Of course if I want to copy stuff too it, I run "BartPE ReaToGo", and copy it from their. Not proof against viruses, but scanning the files I need does minimize the risk before transfer.

  7. Re:Come on /. you can do better. on Spread Spectrum Digital Modem? · · Score: 1

    CDMA? That sounds good, where can I find out more about that? I already looked at the MEGACAR, cool. Not the solution I was looking for. I am looking in a more economical/secure direction. I searched /. before I posted thank you 8-).

  8. Re:ricochet? on Spread Spectrum Digital Modem? · · Score: 1

    No, I was not looking for non-cell stuff. I was looking for somthing supported everywhere.

  9. Re:good idea, but on Spread Spectrum Digital Modem? · · Score: 1

    he he he he.... but nice cell phone sales person, I need 8 cell phones I need cell phone to cell phone calls to be free I need 120 minutes in a pool a month over all phones you can charge me what you want for any additional minutes. I often see cell plans that don't charge for cell to cell calls. I would just work out one of those. The inital cost would be fairly high for the cell phones, but that would be ok. I had thought that digital cell phones would have around 56k as long as their would be no analog link. A fast pentiumII handling crypt/decrypt on either end should make this sing.

  10. NT and C2 on C2 for Linux? · · Score: 2

    NT has only recieved a C2 rating based on a non-networked version. No OS to my knowledge has recieved a C2 rating for networking. Their is an orange book standard and a black book standard at work, I forgot which is which.

  11. Calibri 133 on Low-Profile Firewalls? · · Score: 1

    try http://www.calibri.net/, definatly small cases low power consumption etc. Linux compatible they run LRP linux.

  12. OOBD attack on the machine (WinNUKE) on Creating BSODs? · · Score: 1

    Depending on the patch level of your machine you could do a Out of Band Data attack on the machine. I am not exacktly sure which patch level stops the WinNUKE attack.

  13. The "no longer hackable" I-Opener on Flat Panel Linux Box for $99? · · Score: 1

    I just when to check that the price had not changed for the I-Opener and was greated with a message stating that I would have to obligate for their internet service when I purchased the box. Ok, no prob pay for a month then quit. It also stated that the I-Opener was no longer able to be hacked as stated on the internet. Anything shipped after 3-20-2k is supposidly un-hackable. Can anyone verify this statement?
