You know thats not the answer. You have to put up with windows in certian cercumstances... such as playing games, and where you do have to put up with windows, you have to find a better way of doing what you need to do rather then the microsoft way which usualy sucks.
well i always run a linux distro on my computer and yes with windows.
I usally patches windows with windows updates and mainly use it for some program "photoshop - flashmx", however when i get on a wireless network, or public wap access, I switch of course to linux - who's stupid...
with all the tips given in the IPTV shows
you better be careful 
windows is a good os when it's unplugged from the network and isolated - isolated? - so not much security patches to apply to it. huh? :twisted:
-
or if there is a better sollution then AutoPatcher?
just switch to linux
and forget about AutoPatcher -
score cheers folks, gonna fill up my newly created media center with those :)
i have found fireants tag search is kinda limited.
thanks
try to watch one episode of each and see if you like it - i found in general some of them not worth to download or spend the time to watch -
dunno if someone else has experimented the same :roll:
-
looking for some more iptv tech shows any anything else that good, only really watch hak.5 duh, and openalpha looking for some more :) cheers
ok dude, go to that website :arrow: http://www.vidcast.org/news.php
see the menu on the right? the one with "show links" ?
well there you go... scroll down a bit to find the "technology section" and there you go... you got enought to keep you busy for the whole summer

So well guys... usually music goes with computers...
so any musicians here?
i'll start off
Drums rocks! they're loud and annoying for others - therefore I play them :P
:arrow: musician by nature ~

I don't even use security software.
It is for the birds.
Honestly, I have never had a computer runnign faste rthan my Dual Core with 4 GB of ram and no AntiVirus, no AntiSpware or anything
Solution:
I don't use IE and know what all my running processes are.
I use TCPVIew on occaseion to make sure nothing suspicious is running.
I have my registry, group policy, and ntfs permissions locked down well enough and don't login as administrator except when I want to install something.
I use partimage for imaging.
As for my tools, partimage, sometimes a windows disc, and a can of spray air every month on the air filters and inside ever 3 to 4 months.
so you know you still get tracking cookies even with Firefox :roll:
you don't use any firewall or only windows firewall?
- wanna get hacked? :roll: -
Anyone used this or Anonym.os?
ya.. so what about it? :?
-
sounds stupid but is there a mod or a hack to still get signals from wireless on band g using a reciever that only works on band b? :?
-
Since the integrated wireless chipset of my laptop is running on band b, I would like to get one that runs on band g coz I ain't get any wireless signal, beside the airport's one :cry:
so i need an upgrade ...
is there any brand that you guys would suggest for laptop?
I will be checking on ebay for good deals...
thx

well what about just using TrueCrypt - it's much more secure Cool
You could just read the topic before posting?
no offense, but what's the purpose of creating an invisible folder if it's not to hide something - so why not create a hidden volume :roll: ?

But theres always SME Server (its a Proxy/Router/firewall straight out of the box... well you download it but you know what i mean...) Its aviable at http://contribs.org/modules/news/ - I used it also - And all the config is Web Based so you dont need to actually be Physically on the server.
Ya I heard about that one.. but I was wondering when it shapes the traffic does it analyse the packets to tell if it's p2p or http requests... coz Monowall works great! but it scans by port and that's a bit shacky coz what happens when the p2p program uses port 80?
Being a corporate network you might be running a proxy already, and this is what have i have played around with for packet filtering http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/.so I am not sure I am following, we're talking here about a package you can install on an existing linux box which runs a proxy such as Squid for example?

The latest, are you from 2004?
sorry did not know it was such an old show, I actually discovered their website two days ago and realized that most of the guys here knew about that show.. .so that's why i asked. :?:

Hey guys
have you guys seen the lastest episode of TheBroken?
what do you guys think of the the "social engeniering" topic addressed and demostrated to basically "steal" a pizza? :(
:roll:
i mean... it feels like there are no limits anymore....
-
Well guys - here is one update!
I runned Monowall as suggested and it works - it's a pretty sweet thing
however i have a concern regarding the traffic shaping..
well we know that most of the p2p program runs now with port 80... so is the traffic shaping generated rules check by ports or analyse the packets to know if it's an http request or something totally else?
coz while shaping the trafic for p2p users, we don't want to affect simple users who send http requests
thanks

Firstly, I wouldn't have said that this was "amateur" as I know plenty of companies that use systems like this.
For simplicity I would say give Monowall a try (http://www.m0n0.ch/wall/). Its very easy to use and install as well as taking absolutely no time to set up really.
It supports QoS which is your traffic shaping, has a good firewall, along with a lot of extra features. Its very stable as well so you should have a problem with downtime.
If you don't want to use a distro that has everything ready for you, then I suggest if you want to look into a traffic shaping/firewall setup that you have a look at OpenBSD and pf. Its relatively easy once you get the hang of OpenBSD.
ok I was wondering do you know how to install that os on the harddrive, without having to run the cd and the floppy disk?
I looked on the site but did not find anything -
i am still trying it - will post updates.
And thanks to all of you who gave me suggestions... if MonoWall does not work, I will try the other possibilities...
thanks very much

thanks man.. I am gonna try Monowall and see what comes out of it! I will post for future updates.
thanks again

Hi guys
ok this must sound really ridiculous for you but I am stuck and I need help.
We're running a network with around 50 clients, the dns server as well as dhcp runs on windows 2003 server.
Our firewall is a hardware firewall which i believe runs linux.
Ok what's the deal then? well we need to shape the trafic and the company of our firewall does not have any plugin or patches to allow us from the firewall admin panel to set up rules for trafic shapping.
so we decided... well why not take an old pc, install linux on it to shape the trafic and we put it in between the firewall the rest of the network -- ok! i know this sounds really "amateur" and ridiculous but hey! not so much choices when you got a low budget.
So i tried, tried, and tried... I am mainly running Debian - but I am fine with switching distribution.
I tried some open source program on freshmeat.com, but none of them really satisfied me - either they did not really work or were to difficult to configure.
So I was wondering, does anyone has any idea, any suggestion. Anything would be highly welcome.
till then...keep trusting your technolust :shock:
thanks-
