So many windows desktops :P No one loves Linux anymore?

Thanks I got it working :) Just struggled to get the share write-able but got it fixed by adding writeable = yes on the smb config and running chmod 777 /path/to/share :) Thanks for the help.

I did try the google machine, I just kept getting complex tutorials on using web front ends for samba and mounting samba shares in linux. I mist have used the wrong keywords or something. EDIT: This is the guide I kept getting :/ http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/in...ces_Using_Samba

Hi guys. I've got an ubuntu 10.04 server I'm using a print/file server (newly setup) - I've managed to install and share the printer using samba. I've added a second hard drive, just a 160gb hard drive I'd like to store drivers and files on. How do I go about using the smb.conf file to share the entire drive?

Sort of what I was thinking but I didn't want to say it out loud.

I'm asuming you want it to get an address from whatever supplies your DHCP? If so, then you just click on the "start" menu, go to services -> network -> start network if I remember correctly.

Hi all, I wonder if anyone knows any good (new) hacking documentaries out there? I enjoy watching them every now and then but all the ones I have are out of date :( Btw, once upon a time, there was a link floating around with direct downloads of all the security conferences videos, does anyone still have this? I've tried googling, but I think I might just be using the wrong keywords because I'm struggling :( Thanks!

I'm speaking under correction, but aren't you supposed to set the LHOST as well? In your case, that should be 192.168.1.10.. Other members might help elaborate more. *ahem* mubix? :P

I'm assuming that would be the DHCP server built into server 2003 and 2008? :) Also, in an attempt to speed up my browsing etc, what would be better, the public 8.8.8.8 google DNS, or OpenDNS? EDIT: - Scratch that, did some googling and it seems openDNS is the better option.

Cool, thanks! Now next thing, should PFsense assign my DHCP address? Will the modem/router assign an address to PFsense and PFsense to the switch and all the other devices? I did some reading and I don't think I need a DMZ..

Just read this: http://www.hak5.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=14105 It contains links like: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AVjKblex...qYmNy&hl=en

So what does a DMZ actually do? I've never really used it before.

Hi guys, My current network consists of this: DLink 4 Port DSL router/Switch, media player, one desktop and a laptop. Now I've gotten a DLink 4400 switch (24 port) and a Dell GX280 from work.. Now I'm thinking of deploying the dell as a pfsense firewall but I'm wondering how my network should change to accommodate it, and whether I need to get an extra NIC or would I just be able to run it with one? With two NICs, the topology should look something like this right? PFsense -> Router PFsense -> Switch Media Player, PC and Laptop -> Switch with PFsense as gateway Would it be possible to do it with one NIC like this? Router -> Switch Pfsense -> Switch Media Player, PC and Laptop -> Switch with PFsense as gateway Also, the Dell doesn't have a cd-rom, does anyone know of any method other than that to load PFsense? I've googled around a bit and it doesn't seem to be possible?

Well, I just started with one windows XP service pack 2 and then one windows XP service pack 3 VMs and played with nmap and metasploit. There are a couple of distros out there setup specifically for testing though. Here's some I found on irongeek a while back: Deliberately insecure web apps

Thanks man.. I'll try when I'm home again.. Any opinions on using untangle in a VM as an openVPN server?

Can I use any other source port or is it a specific port I need to use for the source port?

I'm not sure if I'm doing the tunnel correctly, because it keeps saying that rpd isn't enabled or the PC isn't online? Any ideas.. ?

Got the SSH server up and running, port forward and everything works except for the fact that DynDns is down for maintenance. Just having some issues getting the tunnel setup but I'm trying an app called tunnelier now :) Edit: Tunnelier seems to be working.. it's just slow as hell..

So SSH tunneling would be better then? Wasn't there an old hak5 ep on this? In like season 1? Edit: Found it! Episode 1x07

Remote desktop like VNC :)

Hmm, well where I stay, the internet is not exactly on-par with the rest of the world.. Would tunneling over ssh be faster?

I've used teamviewer before, but not to this extent. Will it perform well if running 24/7 ? Also, does it depend on high speed internet connections?

Hey guys, I've got a PC at home and I want to set up remote desktop to it with the built in remote desktop from windows. Now I know how to do it, I just want to know how secure it is, and if you guys have any more tips on keeping it even more secure? Edit: Oh yeah, both the system I'm connecting to and from are both running windows 7, thought that might be relevant :)

Hi guys, We use a boot cd with winpe to launch a vbs script and load data from another dvd. Now we have some machines that don't come with dvdrom drives, older optiplex 520s and so on. No I've managed to get the script that it loads. Here it is: wscript.sleep(2000) set objscripting = wscript.createobject("wscript.shell") set FSO = createobject ("scripting.filesystemobject") set coldrives = FSO.drives for each objdrive in coldrives if objdrive.drivetype=4 then driveletter=objdrive.driveletter answer=MsgBox("Would you like to install the image?",4,"Image install") if answer = 6 then wscript.echo("Enter the Imaging DVD into the "&objdrive&" drive") objscripting.run("cmd /c start rdeployt -md -f "&driveletter&":\image.exe") end if end if next Is it possible to edit the code so it loads from a portable harddrive and not a dvdrom? As far as I've googled, changing: to should do it. Am I correct? Is there other changes to the script that would be needed?

Here's one of mine. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=v8e6-IeQ0aw
