Um.
The data you are looking for would be rolled up from various internal systems into a data warehouse. That is what would be put online for you to view.
Not the systems themselves.
Hmmmm. There is an easy way to solve this.
Get an SSL cert for secure.contoso.com
Have sub domains that are CNAMED to it.
There.
Disney does this. All secure stuff goes through secure.disney.go.com, even though there are many many different commerce disney properties.
So I'm sorry but I don't agree with that.
First the warning from IE is much more accurate and non alarmist. It is different from the failed page message, while the FF3 ssl and fail to load page are very similar. This is rather annoying and the first time I saw it, I thought the URL was invalid.
Also FF3 lets you visit the site as well.
Well.... not quite.
The whole tool chain can be open source (and the vast majority of embedded software toolchains are).
That doesn't do you any good if the hardware will only run things signed with a private key you don't possess (ala Tivo).
The cyber storm war game is not about penetration testing. Its about response coordination. The US government has plenty of people who network in the security community and keep up on exploits etc. They have SNORT and SHADOW and who knows what other IDS systems all over the net watching for new exploit code.
The key element of these war games is to test response capabilities. Testing existing exploits would be pointless. An exploit could come out tomorrow that allows someone to control every Cisco router on the planet. Would that cause problems? You bet. At that point entities which have a tested and rehearsed security response plan will fare better then does who don't. Also organizations which have handled security incidents before will also fare better.
Um... Nortel bought Bay Networks.
3com is alive and well and while isn't the most common router by far, its still used a fair amount. Especially in smaller organizations.
IANAL, blah blah blah (of course), but I would think since you don't own the copyright on the software (and therefore don't own full rights to it), you're not liable. Baracuda doesn't hold the copyright to ClamAV either. However they are being sued. If TrendMicro is successful, then they could potentially sue anyone who "violates" that patent.
Um. No?
You send swat when you want to resolve a situation that requires rapid dominance and a safe resolution. Often its more desirable to apprehend a suspect then to kill them.
When you manage more then a few servers, Putty does an outstanding job of organizing them. And you can have default settings that flow down to all the profiles (or even a one off connection that you initiated by typing the host name).
I actually just installed putty and will be using it to manage my hoards of SSH connections now.
Well.....
its called zero conf. Or more accurately avahi. Or rendezvous on the mac.
Its a system for auto discovery and configuration. Google for more details.
As I mentioned earlier, you have to be careful which ones you get. A decent bar code reader, will support all the standard bar code types and spit to standard out. If it requires drivers to work, drop it.
So I wanted to comment on this, having a few years experience in the retail/warehouse operations/inventory management space.
On the barcode part. Be careful what barcode scanners you get. You want one that will support all the standard types, and spits the data to standard out. If it stores and forwards, or requires software drivers drop it. Also make sure to avoid any bacrode scanners that say they only work with a particular system.
Touchscreens shouldn't be an issue. Linux,windows,dos,mac osx all support them. They present themselves to the system as a standard USB or PS2 mouse. Various buttons, but a bit of xorg.conf tweaking based on easily found online examples will setup the bindings for any additional functionality you may want beyond simple left button actions.
You don't want a credit card reader. You want a mag stripe reader. Do all the processing of the mag stripe in software. Debit cards will be tricker. But you have to do some research and dev work yourself haha.:)
Receipt printer is easy enough. I recommend creating an image and printing it, vs trying to interface with the endless proprietary drivers/languages of the barcode printers. I have written a fair amount of interface code for eltron printers, and regular dot matrix printers. Trust me, creating an image and sending it is easier.:)
Thats all for now. I am easily reachable if you want more information. charles@thewybles.com is my e-mail. http://www.thewybles.com/~charles is my website. My resume focuses on my system operations/administration/engineering experience but I have done a fair amount of software engineering as well. I just don't want to work in that field any more and keep it more of a hobby.
Thank you for that link. Its very interesting. I am attempting to do something similar with the LA City Wifi Project.... see http://www.knownelement.com/red-badger/ for more information.
Very cool stuff.
Exactly. I resigned from my previous job because I was being over worked. I was well paid and compensated for over time. Certainly management strongly encouraged us to try and minimize over time. I was fine with that, because I negotiated a good base salary going into the job. If I made overtime great. If I didn't no sweat. I just wouldn't take a weekend trip that weekend, or eat at less fancy restaurants.
All my bills were paid every month on time overtime or not. People just don't have a budget and I think they accept lower pay expecting that overtime will make up for it.
I am in Southern california, and it took me less then a week to find another job. I told my manager I was looking, and he was ok with it. He really couldn't give me the things I wanted (more hands on access to systems (they were in a datacenter 3000 miles away), more ownership of all things operations (security,database,networking) as that was all handled by other teams. Also flexible work hours and remote access.) So I found a job that gave me all of those things and I am much happier. I don't get overtime (just straight time after 8/40) but so what. And actually my job is part time (30 hours a week) so I have an entire day each weak that I can do whatever I want.
Good times.
I work in California and get overtime. Well I am a contractor now, so I don't (I get straight time for hours worked past 8/40). But at my other jobs where I was full time, I got overtime.
Um. You do realize they don't record the call?
You do have a chance to not use the service.
Voice recognition doesn't work? I disagree strongly with you. I have developed and built multiple voice recognition systems, using both 3rd party vendors and off the shelf software. Voice recognition does work quite well in many scenarios.
Do you have a link on US signals laws? Somehow I don't think so, as the people doing that sort of monitoring are the ones who the threat would be reported to.
Drop the paranoia just a tad.
Insofar grandparents concern about 'high energy nukes' goes... He's pretty much out to lunch. The GPS constellation isn't as vulnerable to EMP/radiation effects as 'normal' LEO birds are Um. You're out to lunch:)
He was talking about the location of the ground based systems. Which you seemed to understand based on the first part of your post. But then you said the above quote... so weird.

They also have 3G coverage in Vegas and a couple other cities as well as New York. LA will have it in October.

One small problem. It's not HIS password. It's an administrative password for a city resource. He is an employee. It's not HIS network.

Worth twice as much != having liquid cash to buy a less valued company.
In other news Slashdot writers go on strike :)

Don't you mean at the end of your tube? Cause the internet is a series of tubes. :)
Congress said so. It must be true.

But but... it can't be a windows only publication! They just did an article on Linux :)
LOL :)
He got interrupted mid post by the team america police force :)
Or the NSA filter got it :)
