@ScottPack Regrettably, in this case, they are one in the same.
From what I can tell, only one of these systems (one of the netbooks) actually got infected by anything. The other two belong to someone whose Facebook account looks like it got hijacked, either by hack or malicious app.
C:\HP\Bin\EndProcess.exe is infected by Win32:KillApp-W [PUP]
Sounds like a common false-positive to me.
I wonder if it would be acceptable to have a CW here of places to download and/or verify the latest versions of common plug-ins like Flash, AIR, Acrobat Reader, Java, etc.
Some of them are easy enough to track down, but it can occasionally be trick to find the non-bundled packages.
She does have a network printer on the wireless... I'm pretty sure I set it static and out of the DHCP range, but who knows... Maybe that could be causing trouble if it's in range, even though it shouldn't.
An early classic from the Morris paper that invented password hashing: Experience with several earlier remote-access systems showed that such lapses occur with frightening frequency. Perhaps the most memorable such occasion occurred in the early 60’s when a system administrator on the CTSS system at MIT was editing the password file and another system administrator was editing the daily message that is printed on everyone’s terminal on login.
... Due to a software design error, the temporary editor files of the two users were interchanged and thus, for a time, the password file was printed on every terminal when it was logged in
Urgh. My 7th-grade science lessons escape me. Could someone help this guy out, by explaining the scientific differences between hypothesis, theory, and law?
My basic knowledge of these two words is that they both mean the same thing. So why are they used differently, and what is their difference in meaning?
I was sniffing the in air with my Alfa card. I captured few packets with channel ids > 100. I did not get time to look at the packets. But is it possible to have channel id > 100. What I know is channel id is in between 1-14. How it can be 100+ ? Is it possible?
@RoryAlsop yup, SYSOP could read everyone's password. That wasn't its most hilarious issue though
The best bit was that the password-comparison function was, to put it politely, strcmp(), so it took linear time in first incorrect character position.
i.e. if you got the first character wrong, it failed really quickly. If you got that right and the second character wrong, it took a bit longer. And so on until you logged in :D
This question isn't getting any love here - I'm looking at it thinking it could be a useful migrate to SU as the crux of the question is around autorun configs. What do you folks think?
I'm trying to create a startup on a windows 7 for the machine and current user (its a workstation meaning all user data is saved on a server).
What i mean whit a startup is to have a program run at login producing the same result as to put a registrar value in bout:

So what are the best tips, to persuade a regular user to pay a little more attention to security: e.g.: use HTTPS where available, up-to-date softwares, don't log in@a netcafe, don't click on l...

@GrahamLee LOL - I am certainly finding I hit my vote limit every day now...
oooooh - for mods, we now do have decent analytics data
that must be what @AviD was seeing the other day
with the weekly troughs at weekends
Obviously can't pop it here, but interesting . If you flatten the peaks out it looks like slow growth in new visitors Dec to mid Feb, then a step change in our growth rate until mid April which has now started to flatten out.
Which means we need to do something interesting to bump up visibility again. I feel a blog post or two coming on...
You ever have one of those times when you're setting up a monitor to see what something does, and in the early stage where you see what everything does, you realize how much activity is actually happening on your system behind your back?
@Iszi had that with a certain developer preview of a certain operating system recently. I dropped into the console to see what a particular command did, and realised that the authentication service was restarting every few seconds.
he has some brilliant novels - Accelerando, The Atrocity Archive, The Jennifer Morgue, Glasshouse, Halting State, The Fuller Memorandum, Rule 34 (which comes out this summer)
has worked with Cory Doctorrow and is very much in the geek space:-)
It's a mailbox permissions thing. What's most frustrating is that I've got evidence in front of me that says I've done this before, but I can't for the life of me figure out how.
@ScottPack Re: "StackPrinter - The Stack Exchange Printer Suite" - but how does the paper stay current with site activity? Sounds like a design flaw to me :/
With some luck, Microsoft's image will kill Skype off and strike a blow for standards-compliant VOIP....
Y'know, I'm really tempted to tell that guy (and the one or two others who expressed similar sentiment) that they're welcome to raise their issues in Meta, but not to expect them to be well-received.
Urgh. Trying to figure out how to get Process Monitor to tell me which Registry key this one Control Panel applet is setting when I change a certain thing.
I have been studying for the CISSP exam to get DoD 8570 compliant. It is a biggie. I noticed that GAIC offers certifications of equal status - BUT OPEN BOOK!
Is that true?
My boss went into a different 8570 exam expecting it to be open book and was shocked when it wasn't.
What are the main issues and recommended controls when exposing SIP and H.323 to the Internet (could be for voice, video, and instant messaging traffic or all three)?
Specifically I'm looking for best practices in firewall/DMZ architecture, and any additional recommended security controls, when ...
@nealmcb The real scary thing about that guy's questions are that they seem to demonstrate a lack of experience and basic levels of understanding. Not a problem, except that he's attempting to jump nose first into what is largely considered (at least in upper management and HR circles) a terminal certification.
