Yeah... but now they have a fancy "pro" version which is payed.

Also remember to do tons of research. Learn about advanced Security methods, Linux commands, Apache security etc.. I only recommend this because you will encounter difficulties and questions along the way. @dhp1080 Look at the last date the latest version of VHCS was released. You are correct.

Well... OBSD is not that hard to learn... the main reason I suggested it is because its security out of box is amazing. The only other OS that compares in security with OBSD is Solaris... yes I said what you think I said... Solaris... I do not want to start a whole conversation about Solaris and OBSD being the most secure OS'es on earth but Solaris has a very advanced permissions system and is very powerful and secure. It is a good choice for someone with a Unix background, but looking for something user-friendly.

Same as FreeBSD the newer versions of OpenBSD are easier to install and use now. Why CentOS over Fedora? Fedora is much more user friendly and is very secure, RHEL is a good choice if he has money to spend.

If he already did a sfc /scannow then there is no need.

This is old. I heard about this from Raaka a while back.

OpenBSD (latest) or Redhat based distro.

I am going to be upgrading the amount of bandwidth on my server. I recently got a msg from a guy saying he has a "80k DoS botnet" and that he will DoS with that. The only good thing is usually when these guys DoS they cant use a proxy for a number of reasons (speed etc...). You know... the best mentality to put these things into is like this... most sites on the internet are attacked using the DoS attack. It is not something I can stop all together. I would personally like to simply do this - be able to block all incoming traffic from these attackers... but this is probably not possible... you know what why the hell am I even calling these guys attackers. The DoS attacks I am getting are not that bad... but I am paranoid about it. Every time I feel too worried I just google botnet user arrested and feel happy again.

I currently have a flood control system set up at my sites. I am constantly DoS'ed. I have already logged about 20 Ip's... Although... as TomB pointed out to me once I believe... there really is not any way you can protect against DoS attacks. You can of course limit requests... though. So what do you guys who are also webmasters recommend for DoS protection.

but could the Chinese break past metatron's security? Well of course.

I would suppose a Kookaburra. Very cute cool bird!

So basically I have a older U3 drive which I passworded... Long story short I am trying to run U3 so I could enter my pass and get access to my U3 drive... Tried - Wine (latest version).

What species of bird is that, looks rare.

Do not include anything relating to hacking in your tag... trust me bad idea. You will constantly be accused of hacking in the game you are playing. Game "hacking" = meh.

All I get is "placeholder" :-o ... are you still working on this site?

You stole that background from TomB's site (http://tombell.org.uk/). And I made that background. Nice. Anyway, http://dhp1080.com/ I don't post nearly enough for anyone to care. Maybe its a Open Source theme... ever thought of that... http://www.oswd.org/

I carry all my repair programs on one USB (2GB) and all my Patches on another 2GB USB Hardware related - Screwdriver Digital Multimeter

Lol yeah... the text being out aligned can be fixed in the CSS.

What is scary is living under a government that is computer illiterate and cannot see the major threats a insecure site can leave.

Go watch Super Size Me if you have not seen it and currently like macdonalds.

That was useless. Maybe give him the source of the program like it so he can learn something, so your post might actually help.

Congrats. Hopefully we can set out differences in the past aside. Welcome back and enjoy your stay.

Kids copy what they see, they need role models... who do we have as role models? 50 Cent and Paris Hilton? Good job... Basically yes. They see themselves as needing to fit to a social "niche", if not they do not feel accepted. I mean hey, upside is some mature when they get into high school. Well then you blame the parents :P

Of course its the kids faults. They should know to not listen to these idiot rappers and try to actually be someone.

I noticed that theres alot of people with sites they want to show off here so go ahead and post it here. I run k0h.org... its no where near close to as good as hak5 is. Its a new community, just a place to hang out and talk code.
