Hey, I have the garage and my room! Besides, my wife knows I'm a gadget addict. She even buys me some every now and then. :D Girlfriends like that need reminded they can be replaced..... ;)

Smoothwall has one of the easiest openvpn setups I've seen from any home firewall software. There is even openvpn client software that works with portable apps, so there's nothing to install on the client machines. Just set up the users, throw the configs on some cheap thumb drives and send them to the users. I've got a couple set up for my wife and her office staff. That way if they are at a client site and need a file off our server they can vpn from the client machine and nothing is left when they log out. Also keeps client info from getting "lost" if a laptop gets stolen out of a car.

If set up correctly, most corp computers don't even need a hard drive. Couple gigs of ram and they can pxeboot windows, or linux. With the data being served off a big ass file server what you mention will work over 100Mb networks. Take a look at ltsp.org.

Fifty or sixty at the minimum. There's a shit ton of them. Oh, hey, if Patrick Norton reads these forums, sorry for getting you yelled at in the Adam Savage line!

FTP has no built in encryption, blackboard is a maybe, if you use ssl, leased lines are for point to point connections, p2p is a joke as far as security goes. Go with vpn.

I wonder if that would mean my ibm e series 1u server is a little overkill for a home firewall..... My desktop gaming rig is a P4.....

It is harder to get tickets for shmoo though. I agree, it is a nicer con to attend. The guys that set up the defcon wifi were pretty bummed out about everybody telling everybody else not to use the wifi. They try to make the wifi as secure as humanly possible. I still used my phone as a modem though.... The lines sucked, I blame Adam Savage for that one though. The freaking line to see him went out past the pool! Oh, and the #1 rule of Defcon. If a Goon says move, freaking MOVE!!!

From reading the article on the AUS site, it looks like the standard TPM stuff you see in the Dell laptops. That, with a bios password, and an always on internet connection could keep folks from screwing with it too much. With the tpm module activated you can't flash the bios without the password, same with the drive, it won't work without the same password.

Command line FTW!

I've never seen carts like that in real life anywhere. Must be a British/Europe thing.

Heh, I've got a picture similar to that, except it's with a 200 pound great dane.

Yea, but pets have a lower monthly fee to keep using.

It does really neat things to my tilt. The one time I tried it, it hard reset my phone.

Yea, I think they started this more than a year ago.

Beakmyn and I are both using a linux firewall distro for out vpn server. Actually he might be using bsd, I can't remember. Look up openvpn, it's the easiest vpn server I've ever found for setting up and getting to work. They make client applications for every operating system I've needed to set up, well except for windows mobile... My home wired network is in the 192 range, the vpn network is in the 172.20 range and the wireless network is in the 10 range. When you connect to the vpn you'll have a 172.20.x.x ip address. You'll be able to brows the 192.168.x.x and the 10.x.x.x ranges. I'm also pushing the gateway address of my firewall, so everything goes through the vpn once connected.

Wait, she hasn't changed every password she has yet??!! Didn't you learn anything from this site's info getting stolen??

That's why I use the 172 subnet for the vpn network. Almost nobody uses that one.

Just ask beakmyn about not backing up your encryption key.... :P

No problem. It woks pretty well. I've played around with it off and on.

Where did you hear that load of bullshit?

Ohhh! Well in that case, you're going to have to create your own table. There is a text file in the download with all the passwords used to create the tables. Use that file and genpmk to create your own table. Might take a while, depending on how much power your computer has.

Inside the package is the top 1000 ssid's on wigle. Set up your home wifi router to have the ssid of linksys, give it a stupid wpa password of say, password. Run airodump against the channel you set your access point to. Connect to your access point with another computer, you'll notice airodump says it got the handshake. Now run your cap file in cowpatty with the linksys table in the cowf pack.

The serial number is burned into the mobo's firmware. Once it's there, it's there, you can't remove it.
