Infiltrator

It has nothing to do with the movies I watch, it has to do with the news I watch. You can't deny what you see on the news.

Just download and install Avast 5, it will keep you safe from almost anything. If you want 100% detection and protection, go with the retail version of Kaspersky.

I agree I sometimes learn better when I am watching or listening to someone explaining something. Books are generally very good, but they have a tendency of making me lose interest.

I used to work for an IT helpdesk company and we used to support various regional and remote schools. And every school had its own ICT or someone in charge of the network administration. And one of the things that really annoyed me, was that those guys used to earn over $55.000+ a year, just to maintain the schools IT. And clearly they had no idea of how networks or security worked. They only underwent a one week training and at the end set for an exam and that's it, they called themselves ICTs but with very limited understanding of how things in IT worked. I think the problem lies in the school itself, some schools have very tight on budget which limits them from investing on important things, like trainings or better IT infrastructure.

Everything is possible, they may/may not have anything to do with the spread of the virus, but you do make a point. I reckon the worm was originated somewhere inside Iran, due to the large number of infected machines. But again, that may not be case after all. It may have spread from somewhere overseas and then it may have been programmed not to spread anywhere else but to remain within Iran. But to make things interesting, the worm infects portions of computers around the worm. Something doesn't smell right in the whole story.

Its a good thing I don't have a Facebook account. I never trusted it and never will.

I tend to read computer magazines, they seem to offer really good reviews and advices on a particular product or store.

PHP would be a good choice for this project, you can find a lot of PHP scripts available for download on the net. As well as there are heaps of documentation, tutorials on how to program in PHP. I personally find a lot easier to write dynamic web applications in php than any other language.

That's why shopping around beforehand is very important. Don't just commit to one shop, shop around until you find a good deal. That's what I do when I am buying stuff from the internet or from a local comp shop. I make sure I am getting value for my money. Good work bro, keep it up.

That is indeed annoying, but it doesn't bother me. The more question like that I get the more I am learning because if I don't know something, I will research about it, I will broaden my knowledge. As for those primary school kids, they are just a bunch of script kiddies who is not willing to learn anything. They just want to be spoon-fed.

Or you can just use SSHcop, which is a SSHserver for windows, that also works fine.

I have used Smoothwall and PfSense in the past but have to say Untangle has better security features and its more flexible.

Darren looks like he had a few too many on that picture.

Definitely WPA and NTLM/LM hashes, especially WPA!!!

Good luck and god speed. You will feel better and ready for another Technolust.

I think its time for me to deploy Untangle with intrusion prevention and Kaspersky virus blocker and a few more security features. That should give me some peace of mind. And of course I should't forget the machines itself.

10 Terabytes, that should be plenty for a 12 to 15 charset mix-alpha-numeric table.

Missed that one, will see if I can download the torrents of it.

I don't know if this will be of any use to you, but you should try http://forums.xbox-scene.com/lofiversion/i...hp/t593705.html

AUSTRALIAN businesses and infrastructure are woefully unprepared for cyber attacks like the Stuxnet virus, and the Federal Government’s National Broadband Network could open us up to even greater risks. The discovery of the Stuxnet virus - which allegedly targeted an Iranian nuclear plant among countless other energy companies around the world - has shown the sophisticated levels that malware has reached. Software security experts are warning that that this sort of attack on governments and nations is becoming more frequent and may successfully hit Australian targets through the NBN. A survey released today by Symantec has found that small firms are the most unprepared of all businesses, and the industry sector which is the least prepared for an attack on critical infrastructure is, ironically, communications. This has significant consequences for the National Broadband Network currently being rolled out across the country. Craig Scroggie, vice president and managing director of Symantec Corporation, told news.com.au that there were risks involved in the building of the “extraordinary piece of infrastructure”. Mr Scroggie said that despite the economic and community benefits the NBN will bring, “the dangers that come of it are very large”. According to Mr Scroggie the NBN will make broad ranging attacks, such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, much easier. “Imagine you’ve got the entire country on high speed broadband ... you don’t need as large a botnet to do as much damage.” Critical Infrastructure attacks are real Mr Scroggie also said that there was a shift in motivations behind cyber attacks away from the strictly financial to politically minded attacks on public infrastructure that we hadn’t seen in previous years. “Think of 9/11, if the actual support infrastructure had been attacked. Imagine if the electricity grid or traffic system was able to be compromised,” Mr Scroggie said. “The one thing that we know about the critical infrastructure attacks is that they are real. In the past people thought they were conspiracy theories.” “Cyber criminals are motivated financially and attacks on critical infrastructure can be sold to the highest bidder.” Stuxnet 'disturbingly complex While the motives behind it are as yet unknown, the Stuxnet virus is an advanced example of a critical infrastructure attack that Mr Scroggie described as being disturbing in its complexity. While he said he did not like to guess where it originated from, there were key indicators. “What we do know, just by the significant volume of resources to perpetrate a fraud (of this size) is it would have to be a private organisation or a government-backed country or organisation.” And according to the Symantec survey, businesses and infrastructure are at far greater risk than they should be of falling victim to a similar attack in the future. It found that a majority of businesses and critical infrastructure providers had experienced an attack which they believed had a specific political goal in mind, with one-third of the attacks attempting to manipulate physical equipment. Three in five of these attacks were considered effective and cost an average of $850,000 each. One-third of the respondents did not believe they were prepared for an attack in the future. The 1580 enterprises surveyed ranged from all over the globe, and were varying sizes from 10 employees to 10,000. Mr Scroggie said that businesses and governments were working together to prepare for cyber attacks adequately. He said Symantec recommended that businesses establish 24-hour security and protection policies and that governments put forth more resources to establish critical infrastructure programs.

I haven't tried the above notebook, but I am really into this babes. They have everything I need, power and lots of ram. http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/151827/NOTEBOO...-FHD-SZ071V.asp http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/140016/NOTEBOO...X-3D-IX012X.asp

Who said we can't design a unique product. We can design our own product and make is opensource and available to the public. At the moment, I don't think we have a software that is available for us to generate distributed rainbow tables. I know BIONIC The project, but it only have a bionic client software available not the server side software which sucks.

Try using winrtgen.exe its a GUI application that can calculate and tell you how long and how much disk space it will take, as well as generate the tables itself. The only issue is that, it does not support multicore CPUs.

You should be able to set it up just fine. Just make sure the machine you are using for hosting the VMs has plenty of RAM and a Quad Core CPU to make things run smooth.

Why don't you submit your queries on TOR Forums, or better yet read the forums there may be solutions for your problem.
