About 3 months ago, my ipod was stolen  , and with it, a bunch of important personal data, now I have bought a 4 GB usb drive I would like to encrypt it along with all files that are stored in it, several questions come in order:
How can I achieve this?
What would be the recommended security encryption to use?, why?
Will I be able to use it on windows pcs?

I also will want to do the same for my laptop partitions, home, var and swap, and in the near future in a bunch of my company windows pc's filesystems or maybe only to specific files (what would you recommend?).

All advice along with tutorials and guides will be greatly appreciated.

Im using Debian lenny with kernel 2.6.24-1 amd64

Thank you both...

heck im actually running the interview...

Hello all,

Im doing a 5 or more questions exam to evaluate incoming personal to the security staff in the company I work for, now I was thinking more like general questions, like what is xss, what can i gain from doing it?, but I think this kind of questions do not ensure that the guy does know how it is done...

Could you help me out, what would you ask?

The Cain & Abel software is able to help me do this, am i right?

let's say I was arp poisioning or mitm attacking before they got the ssl certificate, theoretically since I got all the certificate information couldn't I use the certificate to decode the ssl traffic?

How would I use these certificates in a sniffer to decode it?

Does anyone have information on tls session sniffing and can I get the user name and password using in that session.

Thanks...

Keep in mind that is my job to pen test web applications, if it was for malicious use I would not post this! Thank you again!

What are your tought on these 3 certifications what would be more worthwhile, im trying to decide wich of these 3 should I take?

What do you guys think! wich of those certs is more complete or better?

I like those certs but youre right about the skill set, thats why I want to do the security+ and network+ first, and wait at least till I have 1 year o year and a half experience as a security analyst!

I think CISA, GCIA and GCIH are greats certs to add, but still unsure about the master degree, to be more accurate about where to apply, sans, nsu, u of phoenix, capella??

Thank you for your responses...

About the master programs, yes im looking for updated material, and also a great reputation master in information security program and university reputation, impressive success stories and stuff like that.

About the certification road, well the reason ive been thinking in CEH and oscp is because in an old post here, dont remember exactly when and who posted it, said that OSCP was a good complement of CEH, now that and update in ceh is due july Ill have to wait and see, but I think CEH is more reputation than anything, its great but its a theory test only, as far as i know, so im leaning more towards OSCP because is not only theorical but also a hands on hacking test!

But youre right RoleReversal CEH ans OSCP are consider to be on the same level, im thinking in adding CISA, ECSA and LPT, one or two of those three, dont know wich one, or maybe GCIA and GCIH.

also what are your suggestions about the certs ive chosen?

First of all Hello to All, I want to tell you little bit about me; I just began in the Information security field, something im really happy about  because I have always liked it!
I have a Bachelors Degree in electronic Engineering, and I have been working for a month and a half as an application security analyst. Ive been making plans and choosing certifications to do and masters degree to get in the past few weeks.

Ive chosen the following certifications to do in that order, beginning this year:

Network+, security+, linux+, CEH, OSCP, GSEC, CISA, and before CISSP I was thinking of applying for the msise program of sans, but Im not so sure. I like sans because well theyre certifications are great, and besides getting the masters degree with em I also get a lot of GOLD certifications, but I have also looked at other information security masters program from university of phoenix, nsu, capella and royal holloway university in london!

What would you guys suggest, is the sans program adequate or should I choose another institution or university?
I know sans is a good choice but im still unsure.

Im planning on doing the master degree in 3 or 4 years! the certifications im studying net+ and sec+ as Im writing this.
About the sec+ and net+ Ive heard they were about to update the certs is this true? if so, is it worth it to get certified now or should i wait fo the update?

All Suggestions are welcome, and thank you in advance!
