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...

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...

"server 08 is like protective kevlar" Now that's funny right there, I don't care who you are. Tell that to HB Gary

Dont forget database design for mere mortals. http://www.amazon.com/Database-Design-Mere-Mortals-Hands/dp/0201752840/ref=dp_ob_title_bk/192-1337279-3789508

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...

Read "database design for mere mortals". Its the definitive high level view of relational databases. If you want to start with mysql, that's fine, install it via apachefriends or some similar wamp stack installer. Its easy and has the gui phpmyadmin built in. Next get some data. Years ago...

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...

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...

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...

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...

perhaps this will help? http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html

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...

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...

have a look here.http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Minimal_Linux_distros perhaps one of these will give you finer grained control over installed apps and their dependencies.

Wikipedia says Hyper-V has only limited support for Linux and as such, I would presume that you'll run into odd issues here and there. This will make your life unnecessarily [h]ard. :) It seems to me that all you want is to get a start learning Apache and MySQL and maybe PHP. In that case I'll...

Did a little google and found this: http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html I'd take a look at syslog maybe? What you need to know about Postfix logging Postfix daemon processes run in the background, and log problems and normal activity to the syslog daemon. The syslogd...

Yeah tineye is cool when it works but slow. I hate not finding what I'm after. http://img.wallpaperstock.net:81/broken-down-city-wallpapers_8881_1680x1050.jpg It's good as of now, cant say for how long, but at least you have a name now if the link 404s.

Corbin Dallas - Multitail ( guess what I watched last night :D ) Below is what I use for realtime, but did not write. #!/bin/sh multitail -Z red,black,inverse -T -x "%m %u@%h %f (%t) [%l] " -m 100 -n 0 -f -cS postfix "/var/log/mail.log" I also use the built-in postfix commands to watch...

Sure thing. Linux is a very worthwhile [ad]venture. There will be times when you feel like you are beating your head against the wall, but that just means you are close to a solution. Also don't feel dejected if you need to go back to windows for a short time, or ping-pong between windows and...

Linux has been about the same for a long time. Don't be afraid to pick up an older book for cheap. You could learn to drive a 59 Buick and then be able to drive a 2010 Lexus. Linux Format is a nice mag you can find at bookstores. It's clearly written for most audiences. Alongside them you may...

You are likely thinking of the windows presinstall boot environment. It's a minimal install of windows you can use for troubleshooting and stuff that runs off of CD. It's not a complete environment. Check Bart PE. You don't buy a Win PE - you make it. It's not licensed for sale and I recall the...

this is straightforward. how many DNS servers at each site? Are domain names the same or different? is this active directory at either side? DHCP servers at either side? use IPCop and the built in vpn. For road warrior forward 17xx whatever and gre to a windows pptp server at one or either site...

If they have internet I'd sign them up for a free voip solution so you can redirect the unwanted analog call through the free voip line to Chechnya or Guam. :) Some easier web based Asterisk solutions: FreePBX http://www.freepbx.org/ Trixbox http://www.trixbox.org/ You will need more...

You just did it :D

guess is should have rtfa:eek:

Actually GUI tools do have a place in administration. Like using Doom to kill processes. Or allowing mundane tasks to be distributed to junior level staff with minimal chance for them to screw up due to typos. Flame me for enjoying gui tools for system administration, but before you do it you...

Googles DNS or OpenDNS are all fine for the average user. But THIS is the [H]ard|Forum we run our own caching DNS servers on our LANs making repeated lookups even faster than Google or OpenDNS. And we can redirect to kittenwars for fuzzy cuddly love instead of advertisements. I bet there is even...

from the link to fsarchiver your first question is answered: "The file-system can be restored on a partition which has a different size and it can be restored on a different file-system" emphasis mine. I didn't read further than that but I believe the "fs" stands for filesystem and not...

Actually this is pretty common. it happens a lot to digital picture frames, thumb drives etc. The computer that mastered the CD or webcam firmware or whatever was infected and it just infected the everything else.

Did any of you actually read the source code from the leaked CRU data? How about the HARRY_READ_ME ?

If you are very new, then use the dummies or idiots books. they start well with basics use a knoppix or other live cd to play along with. then after that you go to the oreilly books. Then try the linux shell programming stuff. http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/ If you want to go...

Just a couple questions to get a better idea of what will be some good options for you. Will the data grow beyond 5 TB? What type of data is this? How large are the files? How often will the files change if at all? How will the data get onto the drives? How often will new data be put...

From the article: http://www.esecurityplanet.com/features/article.php/3821001/The-Best-Way-to-Remove-Viruses-Spyware-and-other-Malware-Part-1.htm "The sophisticated approach makes the malware very hard to detect by any software running within the corrupted copy of Windows." Note that...

I am indeed a jackass. :D good luck with ampache lmgtfy is terrific though isn't it.

Why not use a virtual machine inside your windows. Then you can try them all without leaving windows. vmware server is free and so is Sun Microsystems virtualbox. Of course only the elite among us use this: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/

You are headed in the right directions. Follow those directions. The command promt in linux is called a shell. You get to the shell via a terminal. So go to applications, accessories, terminal In windows, you have administrative priviliges, or the administrator account. In linux it's...
