Being that i read it correctly -- how do you presume to log into an account using an account that is locked out ? at any rate, i know what your objective is and you should look at the following product: www.dameware.com i mentioned using an asynchronous app, i meant synchronous, so this way you can access the actual desktop of the locked user..

Hey Vako, If I'm reading this correctly, probably not, you want to know if there is a way to log into a locked user's account profile as the user, that's presumably locked out ? since you have domain admin on the machine you can use an asynchronous remote control app, kind of like RDP. There are a few ways to remotely enable RDP on boxes on your LAN. This way, it gives you access to the box without the user , who is logged in, having any idea you are connected.

Vako - eventually, that will be the idea. moving to a company like rackspace or just a co-location facility with rock-solid SLA's but this is a starter site that i wish to become a bigger site. If the results govern me moving to a dedicated server, i will. but for now, i'm sure there are affordable, shared web hosts that rock. I'm just trying to get a feel as to what others use or recommend.

Stingwray, your assessment is accurate and i've always taken hate sites with a grain of salt. However, they still do exist and if they continue to get unique stories based on similar issues, then that pattern becomes worrisome. I'm sure there will be issues and i don't plan on hosting a major site, but flexibility with options, reliable uptime, attentive customer support, and reasonable pricing would be nice. I post here because most ppl on this forum know a thing or two about a thing or two that involves the web. as i mentioned above, if more ppl respond with positive remarks on similar hosts, it becomes a discernible pattern which will make it easier to make an informed decision.

Are there any good web hosting companies around ? it seems every host as a site dedicated to how bad they are; etc. Dreamhost, Hostgator, Powweb,GoDaddy... Which web hosts do some of you recommend ?

did you get to hear more information about this or actually see this demonstration ? http://www.enterprise-security-today.com/s...?story_id=45101

many thanks metatron.

exactly -- know where i can get them ?

"The Internet" - ouch i would like to use the tools internally on my own voip network to get a better understanding on how..

Is anyone as interested as i am in finding where i can get these tools ? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/08/03/vo...acking_exposed/

would i need two nics on my machine ? how would i setup the switchport configuration. make my, the management station, as the monitor port ? arp poison with cain/abel ?

I have a feeling there is some monitoring going on some machines using the above program. I've ran currports and tcpview and don't see anything unrecognizable. In the event the above program doesn't establish a tcp or udp session with a server -- how can i detect if monitoring is going on with spector ?

booooo pm me if you have alternate(s) --- cough suppressants that is

has someone noticed that www.antiwpa7.tk is no more ? it resolves to a whois ? what's the deal ?

technically you can. You're just afraid about the support issue. All you need to worry about is getting on their network. Most ISP's won't nor can't support hardware they don't issue. So in reality, if you're comfortable with the fact that your ISP will "support" a windows 20003 server install as your gateway -- good luck. But in reality, when, and using windows as a gateway you probably will get an issue -- let us know how far your ISP will help you troubleshoot that.

What about using a cheap machine and throwing IPCOP or m0n0wall on it ? there are TONS of customizations and support for these distro's and come pretty well stacked with options. I would throw this in front of your windows 2003 box or if you want to setup the win box as your local 'router' you can -- behind the above mention boxes. If you're looking for a pure router you can use vyatta or XORP both options that compare against using a cisco or juniper box.

$15 or $30 ? show me -- i've looked and haven't seen those prices.

I have a GL - I mentione WRT54G only because i thought if there was a hack for one version ( except v5 ) then it would apply to all. But i have a GL. Thanks for the SD mod -- no pain no gain, i know....but is there another option without potentially frying your box ?

I overheard on a podcast that there was a way to add additonal "memory" to the WRT54G models by adding an external storage source. Which would help in adding as many packages you'd like from you're favorite firmware. Can anyone confirm this ? or shed some light ? If so, please provide the link on where i can get this going.. Thanks,

exactly the type of information i was looking for. Thanks man. First thing would try to clone the drive with an app that does sector cloning, like driveimage. Now, considering this is an external drive that connects via usb will the HDD regenerator pick that up ? do i have an option to choose which drive to regenerate ?

Thanks guys - defintely helpful and i'm going to try to find these diskinternals apps on the torrent vine to do some testing.

Thanks VaKo i suppose i was looking for a way to analyze the sectors on the drive and extract what i could -- sort of like the movies

Thank you for replying man, but you really haven't read what i wrote. If i could copy the information to another source i would not have even posted. There are some files i can't copy; during the copying process it stops and dies.I'm sure this has to do with some coruption on the drive itself. Therefore, I'm looking for an app or anything to recover the corupt portions of this disk.

you mean, buy another external harddrive and disassemble it and put the problematic macxtor drive in this newly purchase external harddrives enclosure ? don't see how that works -- could you explain further ?

Thanks. this is an external harddrive not an enclosure with an ATA drive in it. The drive responsds when i plug it in ( usb 2.0 ) i'm able to access some files but some files are not allowing me to access them and i'm sure it's realted to that part of the HD being corupt. I need an app or a way to clean the drive so i can get these files.
