  1. As corny as it sounds you could use the modern rogue episode and site it as a source.
  2. Personally I like Everki backpacks. They cost a pretty penny but you get the best bang for buck and it's what I'm using to carry around a Asus ROG laptop between the US and UK.

    survival

    I live in an area that has a chance of flooding as well, however I don't quite have the ability to move anywhere that doesn't have potential flooding issues. Truly the best practices are Having appropriate home owner's / Renter's insurance Backing up data offsite (I sprang for a synology to keep at my in-laws house (several towns away) and rsync on a nightly basis) being smart about placement of electrical equipment, nothing directly on the floor, towers sit on top of the desk, Power strip mounted a few feet up from the floor on the wall. You can do other improvements to your home to help mitigate flood damage, but everything is situational. Hope this helps
  4. I know you can add to an existing project through vbscript using Visual Studio DTE Objects here are few little snippits of a vbscript Set dte = CreateObject("VisualStudio.DTE.12.0") 'Visual studio 2010 Object is DTE.10.0, If you need a 2012 Object it is DTE.11.0 / VS 2013 is DTE.12.0 These next 3 lines are what got me stuck for a while when i was creating a solution from scratch dte.Solution.Create strPath & "\Path\","Solution1.sln" 'Create the Solution dte.Solution.SaveAs(strPath & "\Path\Solution1.sln") 'Save It dte.Solution.Open(strPath & "\Path\Solution1.sln") 'Open It dte.ExecuteCommand "File.AddExistingProject ""C:\Long\Path\Is Long\LibraryX.vbproj""" dte.Solution.SaveAs(strPath & "\Path\Solution1.sln") 'Save it after adding Projects dte.Solution.Close() 'Close the Solution
  5. Awesome replies all! Thanks for the wealth of information. Personally I'd like to go for the ubiquti, though that cost is up there. I definitely want to go with ac since all the devices on my network short of two amazon fire tv sticks are ac. As far as weather, Ohio on the lake so the usual snow until April, Sun and crazy rain until November then snow again in bulk.
  6. So I've been digging and digging and feel I don't have enough experience with the weatherproof stuff so I'm hoping someone here can help. I'm trying to mount an access point in the back of the house for the back yard area of the house. attempts to use wireless extenders have all ended in failure. I can't find any 802.11ac WAPs that claim to be weatherproof and so would like some input if anyone knows of one (or two) or if anyone knows how I could make one weatherproof. Thanks!
  7. Hey guys, I've been rolling around on Verizon as my everyday provider for cell and data service. Up until recently I could get a signal everywhere short of the moon. Then I took a drive to Kentucky and found myself in a number of places with no signal and barely able to make a voice call let alone get the GPS up and rolling again. So I was looking and can't seem to find a solid answer. I wanted to get an unlocked hotspot and a pay as you go sim for one of the other carriers. So here's what I was hoping for. Data with no expiration | or | able to connect and add funds without having money already on the account Really good to great 3G (if not 4G coverage) Anyone got any ideas/leads? Thanks in advance!
  8. sadly the situation requires port 22 and will not allow me to use a username other than admin without the ability to switch to key pairs at all. Synology Time Backup to an Offsite Unit. I do have a stupidly strong password on it that would take quite some time to brute force, but still it's annoying seeing so many attempts every day.
  9. Hi Guys, I am having an issue with SSH Brute Forcers and have been now auto blocking anywhere between 14 and 22 IPs a day. Is there any pre-compiled list of known country offenders I notice the majority of these are China and a few are Russia, but I don't check every IP. Am I stuck either paying for a service or creating the list myself? Thanks!
  10. Thanks guys, appreciate the info. We'll see how it goes. :)
  11. Sorry Guys, but I was certain someone would have the answer here. I am traveling to Leeds in a week for work and everyone else at the company had to have the operator always call the cab for them or any other dialing for that matter. I have tried searching Google, but I keep coming up with how to call the US from England or vice versa, Can anyone Give me a clear cut guide to dialing a phone over there? Thank you! Again Sorry it's not security Related!
  12. Thanks Guys, I tried replacing both parts and still having issues... debating if its worth trying to replace the cable or if at this point I should rip it all apart or tell my brother he is SOL
  13. Hi Guys, My brother brought his laptop to me because the screen went absolute dark one day and he could barely see anything. I had already done the basic troubleshooting with him then had him bring it over. It looked like the inverter had gone bad on it, so I replaced that and well lo and behold it did not.. So Then I replaced the screen with a brand new one thinking the Lamp on the old one went... Still Nothing... Thinking Maybe I was sent a Bad inverter I put the old one back in to only have the same problem still..... SO Short of buying another inverter can anyone think of what would cause the backlight of a LCD to not activate? Thanks!
  14. There are a number of options out there, truecrypt is definitely a possibility. But working on the side I have seen a number of laptops encrypted with a pre-boot environment. I came across these if you or your company are willing to buy into stuff http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/encryption/safeguard-easy.aspx http://www.winmagic.com/products/full-disk-encryption-for-windows/standalone http://www.symantec.com/drive-encryption http://www.checkpoint.com/products/full-disk-encryption/index.html If it is an IBM/Lenovo Laptop I believe there is built in drive encryption in the bios, typically on models with a fingerprint reader. other option... install linux on the laptop, encrypt it however you know/like, and run windows in a virtual machine.
  15. is this what you are asking for? http://www.nomachine.com/download.php
  16. im not sure about infinite, but you can make it quite a few with a for loop This *SHOULD* do the trick for you, just set the ending number to something unfathomable 0 is your starting number, 1000000 is your ending number, 1 is your iteration #!/bin/bash for i in {0..1000000..1} do echo "Hello World" done OR (This would be infinite, but not 100% certain if it would work right) lol #!/bin/bash while [ 1=1 ] do echo "Hello World!" done
  17. Gotta love amazon! http://www.amazon.com/5-15-C19-Power-Cord-Foot/dp/B004XM5X30 Found out that it's a C19 (once I found one it was easier to find more detail)
  18. Holy sh!t thats one expensive power cord! Thanks for the help digip, I think I might know where I could maybe get one cheaper
  19. I checked into it and my friend has a G5 much like this and its a standard cord like what you would see on any PC. as for the power supply, its in the bottom and apparently I have to take the whole damn thing apart to get at it. the stuff running to the drives is all standard though. I figure if I could get a cheap apple machine to fart around with, modify/burn DMGs and the like its worth the paltry cash I spent on this thing, but now I realize why the guy sold it for so cheap in the first place LOL!
  20. So I picked up this powermac G5 on the cheap thinking nothing about the power cord, the guy didn't have any of the cables that came with it. said it worked just fine and that they don't need it anymore... I get it home go to plug the thing in and it's got this funky power jack/outlet/plug (whatever you want to call it). Can anyone Identify? is this European or something? Thanks! edit: I am in the USA and wondering if I need to replace the PSU in this thing to get it to work here.
  21. I used to work for a company that installed WiFi into hotels and the way we did it was one of two... we either would put in a weatherproof box on a pole outside of each side of the hotel an access point which was powered by Power Over Ethernet and a Unidirectional Parabolic Antenna much like what you see Darren use in the In cases where this was too costly or just plain won't work because of hurricane proofing (See Florida Hotels), depending on the size of the hotel there were 1 to 2 access points in the drop ceiling of each floor, each with High Gain Omni-directional Antennas (i forget the dB sorry >.>) basically if when you get off the elevator in the hotel it says left to go to this block of rooms, and right to go to that block, we would put an access point at the halfway mark between the elevator and end of the hall. Again everything running with Power Over Ethernet, and the cabling looked something like this Closet/Main Switch ----Ethenet----> PoE Injector-----> cable run to drop ceiling into WAP Hope this helps p.s. If the hotel is a circle check your signal strength with one access point in the hall first and go to the other end to see if it is feasible, if not add a second set of WAPs (ie:\\ do your homework) edit: I forgot to mention, do not use extenders as GuardMoony said, they are really not a proper solution.
  22. I agree with Digip, if you don't know who is running it you don't know who is sniffing your traffic. I think you'd be better off paying for a VPN provider.
  23. From what I can find by the VID & PID it is for the Logitech Download Assistant which has something to do with SetPoint. I could not find anything sort of download for the Logitech Download Assistant and also when I downloaded and installed Setpoint I could not find any relative inf files (could be it cached them for install and deleted them from cache after) I would try for kicks and giggles trying to use the keyboard to get into your BIOS if that doesn't work try your receiver in a different USB port if neither of those works the next action I would take would be trying to find a way to re-associate the receiver with the keyboard (I would assume by using the Unifying software) outside of that it's try it in another computer all together (which you said you don't have access to) or contact Logitech and tell them you got a lemon
  24. So I have had a number of people asking me about RAM density lately, and even when I branch out and ask my other friends in the industry their answer is "who cares?" (or something to that effect). when doing a google search you find any number of pages that attempt to explain it, but they seem to explain in circles when it is anything higher than a 256MB stick of ram. Everest/AIDA64 don't explicitly tell you density. Does anyone have a logical way of discerning ram density or perhaps an application that simply tells you high or low? Thanks!
  25. had to search Ebay, but this uses the same Ralink Chipset as your adapter you can't find anymore RALINK RT3070 http://www.ebay.com/...=item3ccbcd1933 Edit: also forgot about Dealextreme http://dx.com/p/leguang-lg-3070-150mbps-ieee802-11b-g-n-usb-2-0-wi-fi-wireless-network-adapter-black-dc-5v-121028?item=1 http://dx.com/p/powchip-pow-a5-2000mw-150mbps-ieee802-11b-g-n-wi-fi-wireless-network-adapter-black-dc-5v-121030?item=2
