• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Older OSes - Safe to use online?

    Get yourself linux and use it as a host. There are nice penetration testing distributions like backtrack or deft that will have the capture tools nicely organized. Install vmware or virtualbox on the linux box which will act as the host for the virtual machines. Install your old os into a...

    Google: Windows is torturing users

    My phone, my contacts, my emails, my movies, my pictures, my social life; all in the cloud, and working fine. Realize that "cloud" is marketing speak. Remember HP web jetdirect for managing printers? I have a similar thing for managing my wifi in many geographically disparate locations, but...

    Apache 403 errors

    Correct me if I'm wrong.... Right now the folder is set such that: User Jeremy can read, write, and execute. The group "Jeremy" (the second Jeremy) has no access thus the dashes. The group "others" or everyone NOT in the group Jeremy or NOT the user Jeremy, i.e. Apache, has no access to the...

    Linux for my 4 and 7 year old kids

    I wouldn't say "Linux" when speaking about it to clients. I find it immediately sends them into "Dummy Mode" a-lah BOFH and people are generally afraid of new things they cant get their heads around. So they say something akin to "No, I'd rather deal with viruses and spyware and expensive...

    Linux for my 4 and 7 year old kids

    I just played Alice in Wonderland (disney) and Dogs on Ice (pbs) and some Toy Story game (energizer.com) on Lucid i386. Sound and flash were fine. sudo apt-get intall flashplugin-nonfree I think is what installed it. Its on an HP dv9000 that I had to take apart and re-caulk the gpu and cpu...

    VMware HA question

    I'm curious about this too. I understand that MS is typically bloatware regardless of desktop or server version, and anyone who has taken a MS dll apart knows it is loaded with cruft that should have been removed at compile time. I recall that exchange 2k enterprise could only support 1900...

    Windows 7 Duel boot Linux or Virtualize?

    If you are serious about IT then virtualize. You wont be building Linux servers on oddball hardware with dubious support because that is just stupid. You'll be deploying Linux on hardware that is known to work well with Linux. Additionally you'll be needing to learn virtualization anyway so...

    What's a good *nix server software for beginner/intermediate user?

    Your brain is capable of learning more than one thing at a time and because you learn RHEL doesn't mean you cant learn Debian. Your brain has unlimited potential to learn new things. The answer for you is try them all, like ice cream, you'll find a favorite. Off topic, I personally compare...

    Front End Application For MySQL?

    You can use nmap to get your initial info to save typing and let it fingerprint your OSs, then set up nagios to monitor. For windows try the dude.http://www.mikrotik.com/thedude.php For knowledgebase you can set up a wiki, or a CMS which has a search engine built in. Plone is good enough for...
