Seriously youre English was pretty good and thats a interesting mod. I guess the router runs some sort of linux, psswrd command, so im sure loading another firmware is the next step.

Does it also asses web vulnerabilities? I.E. in the server, or a website? Also I highly doubt that it has the capacity to map a network like Nmap does.. I havent seen the .py they are using but i would indeed like to take a look at it.

AH, i think it was the mention of the UK advisor your using that threw me off.. Well if your looking for sysmins this is the place..

Its going to be a bit hard getting any information from here, and most of the sources cannot be verified(bad reference for a college level paper). What I would do is google IT Security in the US. Look at a few notable Security Professionals website and gather what you can. Go to FBI.gov, CIA.gov, ect and look at careers and see what that say, it is from the horses mouth.

Laptop + BackTrack + Knowing how to read + Knowing how to use google = Better than this

The government procedures are not ALWAYS followed to a T* Destroying CD/DVD's 1. Sand Paper to the data side 2. Place in Acetone 3. Smash HHD's 1. Overwrite data 3X times 2. Disassemble HHD 3. Remove Platters 4. Sand Paper to platters 5. Smash Platters. *Military brat growing up and bought many second hand PC's form the supply room. Usually the HHDs are taken out completely, but there are always circumstances of user error. Honestly the military has some of the most unsecure computer USERS, i.e. the E-4 who takes his work laptop home and downloads porn(of course after they return it their actions are normally found out).

Mouse++. But I thought it was cool to see some of the people talk and express some of the same feelings. The whole "scene whore" thing is real and it does happen, but females are just as good as men when it comes to computers. Also, Womenz:

I use keypass for my passwords and just make regular backups of the database file(to an external drive and a CD).

Note: No one should be able to tell you what you can and cannot do with your computer. Linux always you a freedom that other OS's can not match, however just like Linux, all OS's can/are made for a specific purposes so don't start slandering Microsoft and becoming an elitist. Distro's worth looking taking a look at. Home Use Debian GNU/Linux Screenshot Many distributions are based on Debian, including Ubuntu, MEPIS, Dreamlinux, Damn Small Linux, Xandros, Knoppix, Linspire, sidux, Kanotix, and LinEx, among others. Debian is also known for an abundance of options. The current release, Debian etch, includes over eighteen thousand software packages for eleven computer architectures. The Debian standard install makes use of the GNOME desktop environment.Debian was ranked second only to Ubuntu for Most Used Linux Distribution for both Personal and Organizational use in a 2007 survey by SurveyMonkey.com. Download Ubuntu Screenshot Ubuntu is a complete desktop Linux operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. Ubuntu is sponsored by the UK based company Canonical Ltd., owned by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth. Canonical releases new versions of Ubuntu every six months and supports Ubuntu for eighteen months by submitting security fixes, patches to critical bugs and including minor updates to programs. LTS (Long Term Support) releases, which occur every two years, are supported for three years on the desktop and five years for servers. Download Linux Mint Screenshot Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distribution whose goal is to provide a more complete out-of-the-box experience by including browser plugins, media codecs, support for DVD playback, Java and other components. It also adds a custom desktop and menus, several unique configuration tools, and a web-based package installation interface. Linux Mint is compatible with Ubuntu software repositories. Download Gentoo Screenshot Gentoo is a free operating system based on either Linux or FreeBSD that can be automatically optimized and customized for just about any application or need. Extreme configurability, performance and a top-notch user and developer community are all hallmarks of the Gentoo experience. Download Fedora Screenshot The Fedora Project is an openly-developed project designed by Red Hat, open for general participation, led by a meritocracy, following a set of project objectives. The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open source software. Development will be done in a public forum. The project will produce time-based releases of Fedora about 2-3 times a year, with a public release schedule. Download Server Use Most of the distro's listed above can easily be converted to run as some sort of server. For more information on that check out samba. CentOS Screenshot CentOS is a freely-available operating system that is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This rebuild project strives to be 100% binary compatible with the upstream product and, within its mainline and updates, not to vary from that goal. Additional software archives hold later versions of such packages, along with other Free and Open Source Software RPM-based packages. CentOS stands for Community ENTerprise Operating System. Download Security and "Pentesting" BackTrack Screenshot BackTrack is a Slackware and SLAX-based live CD with a collection of security and forensics tools. It was created by merging Auditor Security Linux with WHAX (formerly Whoppix). Download Other Links: distrowatch.com linux.org More to come later. Check out Wikipedia for more inforamtion. Now I hope that most of the "what distro should i use" threads will disapear.

something about that seems to make my eye tear

Stunbled on this and thought it might be a nice addon for jasager. Jasager is mainly ruby so maybe an application from here can be ported. Havent really looked over it but there has to be something. LINK RubyForge

thats pretty much the advanced way of doing it. are you talking about third party apps?

They were in my dropbox and i delete that.. im sorry. Maybe someone will be kind enough to make one for you.. they are pretty simple

So wheres it at now?

Think pads are awesome as it. If anything get white spray paint and lrn2stencil.

Yo dawg, I put a crash inside your crash, so you can BSOD while you Kernel Panic

Ive seen IRs blind some cameras and i was wondering if it would be possible to blur you whole licenses plate? Totally illegal, but may save me a few hundred a year ;).

Take everything out of the computer you can. Try to use only passive cooling. Install an /o.k/ power supply. Install ESXi and run your server from that. Whollymind also has a great point.. VMware is great, if all your mailserver is doing is running a terminal application then install vmware on that and run your server there. Wouldn't recommend running anything off the base OS.

The paint job is the most technical part

my friends use linux

please say no

4.50

Ive also heard that ESXi was really good.. havent had a chance to play with it, but from everything ive read it sounds ideal for this situation.
