@LucasKauffman though markdown often fails in chat if there's linebreaks. looks like it works for this one.
@TildalWave you're worried? A fair number of the people looking carefully at this are my coworkers, and this was an embargoed release. I've been carefully looking over everything I've said to make sure that I didn't accidentally leak something proprietary.
And i'm the one who pointed them at pornin's findings. So it's not like they wouldn't know it was me.
@tylerl Dear lord no I'm not worried at all. a bit angry with myself perhaps for always missing the best moments of the DMZ. It's my karma I guess that each time I'd take some time off something major like this happens in the meantime. But hey I managed to read a pretty good book so not all is bad :)
@DavidFreitag Heh. That would be a dream come true.
That's why I'm happy Apple released a 5K iMac. They are probably the only manufacturer out there that can get the economy of scale to drive prices down that much.
I guess I need to rephrase my question.
I understand that u can enable or disable the logon and logoff event. I know how to do it for the logon event, but how about logoff event? how do I disable the logoff event audit?
@HamZa the problem is i have no better options at the time, i am planning to try and get a Stage with the police force's IT departement in Venlo for the last period, to help me make a choice, since i was always kinda interested in that
yea, the quality of this ROC's Application Developing course isnt that great
the teacher is "old", as in, he still uses situations from 20 years ago
@HamZa yea, i've been looking into that one, still knocking on doors for information here and there, but Gilde Opleidingen doesn't really have awnsers for me, so looking for a good source is hard
Google is your best alternative. I'm currently at the HvA doing technical computing since I find it more challenging than the other programs. We also have "System and Network Engineering", which also has some security modules. The HvA wants to change the courses to support "thema semesters". Each student has to plan which thema semesters they want to follow. They must choose at least one from their direction (for example I need to choose at least one related to technical computing). The good thing about this is that even if I'm doing technical computing, I could choose "security" or "digita…
OK, so here goes after a lot of trial and error:
background: My client recently took over another firm. However, apparently the administrator passwords to the server (along with some other non-IT stuff) hadn't been passed on. And now i'm charged with the task of re-gaining administrator privileg...
@HamZa hm, that would indeed be a far trip, but i've found alternatives in my region, but i have to check them out first ofcourse, and i want tohave a stage at the police force as IT guy first, to see if that is something for me, but i'll keep on the lookout for any other possibillities, thanks for your advice
I'm defining any answer that says “we used this commercial software its grate buy it” as spam, because what are the odds that this is really a satisfied customer and not a sales rep?
@Gilles for malware removal i always recommend Malwarebytes or HitmanPro, but those have commercial options too, but i always address you can use them without paying too, is that concidered as Spam/Advertising too then?
and when i flag them as duplicate of 99999999 other questions, i respectively give the awnser " try using CCLeaner to remove weird shit, use Malwarebytes/HitmanPro and use holy water"
@TerryChia Heh, Dutchies have a bad rep of when it comes to spending money. (Or at least they do around here, jokes about Dutchies doing all kinds of stupid to not spend money are not uncommon.
@Lighty I'm aware the jokes are a two way road, didn't know Belgian are said to sit on our money though, I knew the joke goes that we are stupid (but that's because these Dutchies are even dumber). </joking>
@Arperum reminds me of the news article that a belgian lady called the police that her right car window was stolen, and after inspection, a officer pushed the electronic button, and the window magically appeared!
but when i think about belgians, i think about people like Urbanus, or Alex Agnew, not dumb belgian jokes (maybe...kinda...)
Can someone explain the difference between a virus scanner and a spam filter on an email server? Can the two be used together? Is it possible for a virus to get through both of them?
While the people with a normal physique get away with doing complete racistic stupidities. Because they happen to be working alongside someone who is fat.
That fat person proved herself on her previous post. Like, she barely knew anything about it, and did it better then it was doen for a long time.
@Lighty I just don't like it when all people can go on about is a persons physique, be it weight, race,gender or any other stupid thing. Skills are what counts.
@Ulkoma There are lots of encryption systems for radios and phones. But as I said in my comment, you need the infrastructure to create secure communications between endpoints.
@Ninefingers With GSM, since there is a heavy voice encoding down to 13 Kbit/s (in each direction), you cannot really expect more than 9600 bauds for data.
@Ninefingers A5/1 offers a security of about 2^42, which is low enough to allow various breaking strategies; but its internal structure is sound. An A5/1 "boosted" with, say, a 192-bit internal state, would be very strong and still very cheap in hardware.
Anyway, the A5/1 in GSM is only between the phone and the base station; it is not end-to-end.
I'm exceptionally pleased with iTunes 12. For the first time I can recall, it is not noticeably worse that iTunes 11, which was perhaps the worse piece of software every released into the wild. Ever version it has gotten worse, until now. As far as I can ascertain, all of the problems and stupid UX in v12 already existed in v11.
@TerryChia I do use it for playing, but I don't have many issues with that. 90% of my use is sync'ing as well. That's where the majority of my aggravations lie.
Like I have this fun deal where it no longer updates any of my podcasts. If I want new episodes, I have to unsubscribe and resubscribe to each one individually. I haven't found any other solution that works. That started a week or so ago.
Oh, and it's no a one time deal either. Everytime I want to check for new episodes in any podcast, I have to go through the unsubscribe/resubscribe dance.
@raz Right, ignoring the fact that I can sell my iPhone every 2 years for $300 and get a new one on contract without paying a cent. Ignoring the fact that every half decent Android phone here costs the same amount as an iPhone.
@raz And that's why your opinions mean nothing. It's ok to have opinions and criticisms but a statement like "I just hate Apple" doesn't lend much weight to them.
@TerryChia Well not all my opinions mean nothing, just the Apple one.
I've tried the iPhone. I don't find it intuitive.
I think I compare Android to C and Apple to Java. Can I shoot myself in the foot with Android? Yes. But I like having the option of shooting myself in the foot if I want to.
@Ninefingers Not without breaking compatibility, of course. I am talking about designing a new algorithm with the same basic tools (namely LFSR with irregular clocking).
@raz And that's why I will never recommend an Android phone to a normal person. A normal person shouldn't have to flash a fucking rom to get security updates. iPhones or Windows Phones always until more OEMs start doing the right thing...
But enough about that, the Android update situation always gets me angry.
@TerryChia I got a new phone last Sunday, and when I first powered it up and connected it, the first thing it told me was that it needed to download a system update.
I configured the WiFi and then it proceeded to download about 600 MB...
That's a Samsung (S4 Mini) so at least that phone has some sort of updating procedure.
Not sure how long they will keep it, though. Regardless of how the updates are distributed, they must still be packaged at some point.
@TerryChia Yeah me too, which is why I'll probably start rooting my old phone. Playing around with updates and what not. At least I know how to do that kind of thing.
@ThomasPornin Did you have a Samsung before? With my S3 I got pretty regular updates. Everyone couple of months or they would just so happen to update when a vulnerability was released.
Anyone know the linux networking stack like the back of their hand?
@raz No, I had an Acer. Never an update, but at some point I could manually download a new firmware which brought the OS from Android 2.1 to Android 2.2.
Can someone explain the difference between a virus scanner and a spam filter on an email server? Can the two be used together? Is it possible for a virus to get through both of them?
