Kyle, I think there may be some technical inaccuracies in a couple things you said. McAfee's doc clears up a lot of it which can be found here: https://securingtomorrow.mcafee.com/mcafee-labs/new-variant-petya-ransomware-spreading-like-wildfire/ 1. I don't believe you're safe from Petya if...

Bump. Still looking for a trade or buyer

Dropping the price to $650 because I can buy the Dell for a similar price.

S_I_N_ecof, I may consider it later but I'm going to hold off for the moment. Although it's a small issue, I prefer the adjustable stand on the Dell. Thanks though.

I never thought I'd say it, but I got a monitor that has a resolution that is too high. I purchased this monitor back in May. As nice as the monitor is, I think I'd prefer one of the 34" widescreens so I'm seeing if I can sell or trade this here. The monitor is in excellent condition with low...

Instead of going to bootcamp which will probably cost ~$5k. Have the company invest in more new server sor and start rebuilding your aging network/servers. Have him do the rebuilding with you there available to answer questions. Not only does he get the direct hands on experience with the...

For what it's worth, working through these frustrating problems will likely make you learn things much better. If you don't like solving challenges like this, you might want to consider a different career path.

It would very likely stop a worm that took advantage of the RDP protocol. People need to get over the "security through obscurity doesn't work" mantra. It does work. Just not by itself and as the sole method of protection.

This is good advice. In addition, you may want to read this article. Anyone can broadcast any SSID they want. I'm not positive but I believe that most OSs will connect to the AP with the strongest signal strength. So it's possible that in some areas, his AP has a stronger signal then your AP...

Really? He may have a security issue so he should go out and buy a completely new router? And then block SSID broadcasts and use MAC controls which are both ineffectual to even a moderately skilled attacker? Great advice buddy!

This isn't really a "hosted" solution. I'm sure there are plenty of vendors who will sell you the service. But you're not going to find one that takes the time to learn your application properly that can effectively manage a WAF; at least at anything resembling "cheap". You'll find plenty of...

Well, I have to say, I can't understand the logic of creating your own program unless you have some security guy who wanted to write a vuln scanner and convinced management to fund his hobby. I think the most important thing you need is clarification from management on exactly why they want...

Your responses lead me to believe that you've already got a pretty good understanding of the industry and consequently the best path for you son. Experience is king. I won't dispute that. But much like you mention, understanding the deep concepts is incredibly important in almost all areas of...

Plug her into the "DMZ" port on your router. Most likely you have one. If she needs wireless, if you don't already own one, buy a wireless router that supports multiple SSIDs, such as listed here
