  1. Forensic Discovery, Windows Services for UNIX on Good Freeware System Snapshot Tool For Windows? · · Score: 1

    Utilities
    SFU comes with more than 300 UNIX utilities as part of the Interix subsystem, with additional utilities available either from InteropSystems or by compiling from available source code. These utilities cover all the major UNIX utilities and areasâ"everything from addr to yaccâ"and behave exactly as you and your UNIX users would expect them to behave.
    The utilities include familiar text processing tools, including grep, less, awk, sed, pr, and tr, batch processing tools such as at, cron, and batch, as well as job control tools like ps, nice, kill, and so on. They're all there and they work exactly as you would expect. Even the man command is just as ugly (but infinitely useful) as it's always been.
    Utilities such as ps and kill work against both Interix and Win32 processes, making SFU particularly appealing for the system administrator. Need to find and kill all instances of a particular process? The script to do it in Interix is straightforward, whether the process is running in the Win32 subsystem or the Interix subsystem.
    As a simplistic but useful example, suppose you have an unknown number of copies of a process running on a machine with SFU. Figure 2 shows a script that will kill them. This script would work exactly the same running on a UNIX or Linux system.

    its just that simple.

    unless you can review (and understand) what's going on, line by line, you can't REALLY trust it.

    what is at stake, here? the gov's are at an all-time power-grabbing frenzy for violating your personal privacy. corporate, too, for that matter.

    it was once said that no one would be allowed to sell or market encryption tech that 'the big guys' would not be able to break; meaning our government. I once worked at a picture phone company (mid 80's) that was starting to go down the 'encrypt your video phone call' path (using old switched56 tech) and we were told we could NOT do our own encryption unless it was 'breakable' by, well, certain agencies.

    believe what you want, but no commercial (or even freeware) encryption that is avaiable to YOU AND I will be worth anything other than 'for show'.

    I fully believe that. you would do well to mistrust your government, too, given how greedy they have become on the rights-grab thing.

    locks only keep honest people out. there is NO WAY to keep the gov out, anymore. and that means that others, too, have backdoors (you think the gov is the only entity that can 'get to' this kind of stuff?)

    anyone who trusts encryption for their life, in this day and age, is deluded.
