• 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.

    hdd wipe n security

    I don't think Flint was suggesting that secure deletion of de-comissioned hard disk drives was a 'useless' task. However, what the original poster was asking for was a virtual 'hard disk booby trap', like the one I saw on TV the other day. I think Flint summed up very well what kind of person...

    Securing my webserver

    Good points SJ, very thorough of you. You are VERY right about the whole false-positive issue. Step one though, for this fellow, is learn up!

    Securing my webserver

    I agree with the education bit posted above. If you don't know the server OS, software, etc.. well enough to follow the instructions provided by your 'security scan tool' to fix them, you aren't in a position to run a secure server. yet. Hardware firewall out front will help, patches up to...

    need efficient good simple firewall software

    See, when I think of a firewall, i think of a Cisco PIX, or a Nokia/Checkpoint Appliance. So when you ask what's a good simple firewall, I'd say an OpenBSD box running PF. (or is it ipf now?) PF was a great stateful firewall because of its simple, logical top-down ruleset. Kind of like the...

    hdd wipe n security

    Let me guess, you saw that TV show about that FBI criminoligist dude where the suspect guy had this program called "Deadbolt" or something? I seem to recall there being DOS batch scripts that would do something like this back in the day, but haven't researched it since then. I'd imagine you...

    MAC Verification

    QFT This doesn't mean you'd be preventing people from grabbing an IP and having network layer (layer 3) access to the 'network', but it would provide a way to control access to your windows network services. I wasn't clear on whether or not he was talking about the network layer or the...
