  1. I've been running Win XP Pro x64, on my computer at home for over 4 years. And have just recently purchased an OEM version of Win 7 Pro x64 and been using it on a VM for quite a while. I am really happy with how Win 7 performs in general, a lot better than Vista and XP in some ways.

    I would definitely recommend windows 7. But if you feel you are not ready, you could also use a VM to give it try before committing yourself to it.

  3. Hey Guys,

    I don't know about you guys, but i enjoying rocking out to some music while i'm programming. But lately i'm getting tired of the same songs that i have. I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations or good playlists on one of those music streaming sites (grooveshark, pandora).

    Thanks!

    That depends on what genre of music you enjoy to listen to. I personally prefer hardcore musics. They help boost my concentration. But if you enjoy a bit of everything, I would recommend them for you.

    Scar Symmetry

    Nocturnal Rites

    Sonyc Syndicate

    Metallica

    Kill Switch Engage

  4. Smoking I can understand, its a dirty habit. But drinking? I used to think like this, back when I was a teenager, but then I went to university and after 3 months I started to drink, and then I started to have loads of crazy life altering adventures, met loads of cool people, got down with some amazing women and generally had a much more interesting life.

    Sounds interesting, that's why I have a boring life I don't drink. I should start doing so.

  5. now everyone talks about radius auth servers :|

    Radius authentication server, that's what corporates around the world uses for securing their wireless network. I am pretty sure there are other ways for securing it, but implementing a radius server seems to be the most effective method for securing a wireless network.

  6. Hmm is there something like a gtalk agent ? that can let me issue commands and give me some reply? that would be the best!!! :)

    if i had gtalk running on a remote machine and it wold forward my commands to the server (telnet,ssh) and forward the servers reply through gtalk back to me?? that would be the best solution :) a gtalk agent :)

    Hmm! Are you trying to build a botnet of armies or something? Give me a scenario where this could work.

  7. Hi Samer,

    Two things you can try, download the openSSL vpn. Darren did a segment on that, you might want to watch it.

    Second if you corporate are blocking ports, you might want to choose between these two ports 80 or 443.

    Third but not least, be careful what you do because your actions may haunt you later.

    Sorry here are the missing links

    OpenVPN SSL download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/openvpn-als/

    OpenVPN SSL Darren segment: http://www.hak5.org/episodes/episode-607

  8. "Tthe question is open ssl vpn , is it 100% secure and undetectable? is there a footprint? can the direction that has initiated the comm be determined? can someone after auditing say, yes it is clear that you made a vpn to outside and then connected to the inside?"

    Open SSL VPN, just like any banking web site uses https to encrypt the traffic, between the client and the server side. it can use either 128 or 256 bits of encryption to secure the connection, but using the https alone does not make it 100% secure.

    Furthermore to HTTPs Darren did a segment on how to strip the "S" from the https protocol using SSLStrip. I would recommend watching that Video. http://www.hak5.org/episodes/episode-610

    Depending how the system administrator at your corporate configured the system/network, yes it is possible to determine if there has been an inbound or outbound connection made by you or any other user.

    Hope this helps

  9. Yeah dude. What you're describing is vague. But here's my recommendations:

    1. Run Microsoft's Baseline Security Analyzer on all windows PCs. This will display any missing patches and show weak passwords.

    2. Run a port scanner to look for open ports. Close un-necessary ports. Shutoff un-necessary services.

    3. Make sure AV is installed and updated.

    4. Check for a software firewall on PCs. Windows comes with one.

    5. Review router/firewall for open ports.

    6. Take away local admin rights from accounts that don't need it. I personally recommend creating a regular user and escalating priveleges using the admin account when needed.

    7. If you're paranoid, take out any wireless devices. If not, at the very least, secure it using WPA2 and a strong passphrase.

    8. BIOS passwords.

    9. Consider physical security. Computer locks, locked doors, mantraps, etc.

    10. Whole disk encryption. Truecrypt is free. Use it.

    11. Extra credit - Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems for hosts and network.

    Just a few suggestions:

    5. Review router/firewall for open ports.

    As well as check for firmware updates

    4. Check for a software firewall on PCs. Windows comes with one.

    Comodo Free Personal Firewall, Cnet recommends and its a lot more secure than the windows built in.

    7. If you're paranoid, take out any wireless devices. If not, at the very least, secure it using WPA2 and a strong passphrase.

    Or if you are extremely paranoid, use a radius authentication server.

    That's all I can think off.

  11. No offense but I think if you continue with what you are trying to do, you may not end up with a job. As what you are doing is potential a SECURITY BREACH. Trust me I know that from experience.

  12. Just curious, how much has everyone spent on the networking equipment in their house? Might be a good little bit of information to throw in along with your diagram andor pictures.

    I am thinking in spending a little over $20,000 for the network gear, plus computers and servers. I will be running gigabit switches with fiber optic modules, x2 vdsl modems configured on a load balancing set up. a few wireless access points with radius authentication. A domain controller with DNS, AD and DHCP running.

    x1 4TB NAS, with web-based managment console and FTP access enabled as well. x8 suveinllance cameras, that can be controlled or viewed from over the internet.

    This is a rought idea of how I am planning in building my network. If you have any ideas or suggestions please feel free to comment.

    Pretty simple setup. My lab is located in our garage that was partitioned off to create another room. Cable internet gets dumped into a WRT54GS wireless router, from there it goes into a Netgear 24 port gigabit switch. Out of the switch, blue cables connect to 3 PCs and Xbox 360 in the rest of the house. Red cables connect to the 8 Compaq Evo SFF mini's in the bottom of the rack. These I use for various projects. One shelf is running replicated MySQL servers and an Oracle db server. The other shelf is running my file and print server. A couple spares left over. Above the monitor is a Dell 16 port KVM that I use for the Compaq minis. There is an unused Cisco Catalyst 2900 XL that used to be part of my cisco lab before I sold it. What you don't see is my main workstation area where there are four more systems and three laptops.

    Do you have any server clusters at all?

  14. This times 4 with me somewhere in the middle

    Got about 57 (free Wifi internet acces) home's that connect to the internet (not counting the random users that are passing by with there hendheld (PDA) or laptop).

    Just out of curiousity what kind of uploading speeds do you get out of your two wan connections?

  15. Messy, I know, Its my second diagram, though. I couldn't figure out how to start with a bigger 'background' in Visio

    networkdiagramrj0.jpg

    Just wondering are you using software or hardware based vpn? if not using at all!

  16. Hahaha shit... Yeah that is from Mubix. Probably the worst guest the show keeps bringing back. Are you fucking kiding me? I assume Mubix is part of a team. I assume they're brining unpublished she-at to the table, nope. They're jusy making a tag line to attract hack-forum members.

    He seems to be a good guest, apart from not knowing how to explain things properly. I am pretty sure he knows his shit well, that is just my observation.
