+1...I'm not totally following you as well

Are you able to verify the tftp service is running?  no firewall on the server/client is blocking the connection?

Best of luck to you I'm working on setting up my vmware server at the moment for the CEH as well, let us know if you have any questions!

If I'm understanding you correctly it sounds like you're trying to have a mail client(ie.. outlook) communicate with either mail server.  Have you set up a cluster of some sort for the messaging environment??  Is this exchange/domino/etc??  I'm still not clear what your exact issue is by your description. 

Always a great list to keep checking 

Is auditing service turned on, on the remote server?

That looks like what it will take to make them wake up, proving it's crackable isn't enough sadly.

Happy new year to all on EH.net!!

How are the mail servers connected?? via private line ie T1/DS3?  What has changed since then?  Do the logs on either mail server show anything suspicious?  Please provide a little more detail as to what is exactly failing? The more information you can provide us the better we will be able to help you!

Wow thats a hefty lab, have you just collected that much gear over time?

All I can say to that is WOW!!  That looks like it will be perfect and there are quite a few others I will be going through as well, I knew about a few CS courses they posted but had no idea about all of these.  Thanks!!!

I think it sounds like you have some great plans for a well rounded education in IT.  The courses seem to cover different areas and will keep you open to learn about each area and once you near completion of you BS/MS programs you can decide where you would like to specialize.  I have my Bachelors in Information Systems Management, I actually didn't know what my specialization would be until after working for a year because I liked so many aspects, part of the reason I chose security.  You need a good amount of knowledge and skills in multiple areas to be good.  Best of luck to you, the road will not be easy but will end up being worth it.  My degree has done will for me and my masters will push me even farther!!

I just built a new machine a 2.8 Core2duo with 4GB of RAM running linux and vmware server...runs like a champ

Hello everyone,
I did some searching through the topics and was unable to find a similar post that would give me a real definitive answer to my question so here goes.  I finished my BS in Information Systems Management about a year ago and wasn't required to take a whole lot of math.  Statistics I, Finite Math & Applied Calc. & Quantitative Analysis/Discrete Math.  All 3 of those course I did in my first 2 semesters back in 04, and my background in High School they were fairly easy.  Now I'm back in school for my masters in a program dealing with ALOT of math that I just don't remember well.  So I was looking for any suggestions for a thorough refresher.  I need to revisit Discrete Math/Digital Logic, Statistics, & Probability my security courses will be really tough without a good review in particular my crypto course.  I have 2 picks for stats but was looking for an all in one book or online resource either will be great.  Let me know what you think guys!! 

In addition to an internship I'd look at grad school for a good Infosec program.  I goto the University of Pittsburgh in the School of Information Sciences and Telecom.  The program I am in is 80% comprised of foreigners studying Telecom/Security.  I'd maybe look into that if you want to continue your studies, they also have alot of scholarships in return for  x number of years of service.  If you want some more information let me know!

Those woulda been nice!!
