D -

I just finished taking my GCIH exam. I took both practice tests and I found them a tad bit easier than the actual exam. I didn't see any questions that were exactly the same but the practice exams did really help me get into the right frame of mind for taking the exam and gave me an idea of what type of questions to expect. One suggestion I would like to throw out is, if you haven't already created an index of key ideas/tools, I would highly suggest that you create one and review it. It will help enforce the material and will also help you remember where things are in all of those books!  I also agree with Bill if you are scoring a 85 - 90 on the practice exams you shouldn't have any problems at all passing the exam.

Good Luck!
3  Features / Book Reviews / Re: Favorite security book? on: January 15, 2009, 10:11:03 PM
While it is not a really technical book like others have mentioned I really enjoyed  The Cuckoo's Egg by Cliff Stoll. I look back on what is written in that book and while some of the software may have changed but the system problems still remain (bad passwords, default passwords, unpatched software, etc...). If you are looking for a good story that isn't overly technical this is a great book to get into.

Shakuni -

If you are using perl you might want to look at GeoIP  (http://www.maxmind.com/app/perl). It will give you the location by country, state and even city. If you don't use perl I noticed they have versions for C, C#,  JAVA, Pascal, PHP, Python and Ruby.

Hope that helps.

Good Luck!

Hey Chris,

I was just trying this system as well. Is there any update on this? I would like to try the server challenges as well. Thanks.

If you are getting frustrated with it why not go to a distro that is more user friendly and is gaining lots of support. For instance  http://www.ubuntu.com would be one that I recommend to learn on and once you get comfortable then try some of the other distros.

Yes as root you have to edit the /etc/yum.conf

To open it you need to do from the command line a
Quote
vi /etc/yum.conf

Once in the vi editor go to the bottom of the file by pressing shift+G

Then hit the i to get into edit mode and paste the lines from my previous post. Once they have been pasted hit the esc key to get back to command mode then do a :wq! to save the file and exit.

If you don't want to use vi because it can be hard to grasp at first. I would suggest using pico and to edit the file with pico you should be able to do a pico /etc/yum.conf I don't have access to pico right now to send you the sequence you need to update the file but I think you might be able to figure out how to do it using pico's help.

If you don't know what vi is or are not comfortable with it. I would suggest this site as a place to start: http://www.eng.hawaii.edu/Tutor/vi.html

If you are in the GUI of centos gedit or kedit should give you the ability to edit the file.

Try adding the following lines to your /etc/yum.conf file:

Quote
[kbs-CentOS-Extras]
name=CentOS.Karan.Org-EL$releasever - Stable
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://centos.karan.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-karan.org.txt
enabled=1
baseurl=http://centos.karan.org/el$releasever/extras/stable/$basearch/RPMS/[/color][/b]

Next run the following command to import the GPG signature for the centos.karan.org repository:

Quote

Then run a yum install fluxbox I just tried it and it worked. Below is what I saw from my centos 4.4 system.

Great Post Kev! I have worked with nmap but only in limited fashion to perform os finger print scans and active port scans of systems on the network I support. I will try just what you suggested and report back in two weeks. Thanks for posting such a great topic.

I would highly recommend any SANS training if you can take it they are top notch. The instructors at least from my perspective have tons of experience and give you real world examples of what they have seen. They keep the class  upbeat and informative even after you have reached the point your brain can't take it any more. If you get the chance take class from them plus you can't beat training in our nations capital!

Just my 2 cents Smiley

Since the VA lost that laptop with all of those SSN's on it.  The govt (at least the agency I work for) is starting to require all laptops and mobile devices that contain sensitive data including personal data like SSN's to be encrypted.

Hopefully this is a start and will get some end users to understand why encryption is important and spread the word to other users.

On a second note I too also recommend TrueCrpyt to everyone I talk to for their personal data. I recommend they set it up on a usb thumbdrive and encrypt the entire drive to store their personal and financial data.
