By far the area of this crazy infosec world of ours that I find the most fun. Probably due to the fact that my technical skills have atrophied a bit since moving into more managerial type roles…that and people tend to believe me. Guess I have one of those faces.

I think that in the interest of full disclosure, Lewis should have included (though it was easy enough to guess) that he is an employee of 7Safe.

Good work. 🙂  That was my assumption since he is a one post wonder.  His guerrilla marketing kung-fu is better than ours.

Maybe Don should approach him to be a paid sponsor of E…[Read more]

Classic! Someone should submit it to mitre.

I’m in a “less-than-junior” role, and your description of what you’ve done and know made me feel, well, extra-junior  :-

Well, I certainly didn’t intend to make anyone feel down.  I’ve been working at this for more than ten years; there just aren’t any security jobs (zero) within an hour of where I live.  I wanted to kn…[Read more]

Well, Bill, AV costs money, and as you well know, NASA is a penny-pinching agency that doesn’t like to spend much  ::)

Well we all know signature-based detection doesn’t work that well anymore, so AV is a waste of money. They’re just ahead of the curve.  😉

LOL… Well I guess when you look at like you guys h…[Read more]

Yup, that looks familiar :'(

Yeah, but these auto sensing ports *cannot* work with crossover cables.

iSmith, what make/model are these NICs?

(want to make sure I avoid them…)

Then what the hell are the “auto-sensing?”

Not the same thing I’d expect from an ‘auto-sensing’ port from they looks of it 😉

That may be the case, but until it loses its stigma with hiring managers, is it really worth anything?  (understanding that any training/education is obviously good for you)

Yeah, I see where you’re coming from. I guess we have to hope CompTIA does their part of promoting it properly :- Seeing as how the objectives are…[Read more]

Why are you trying to hack in his end?

This isn’t that kind of bar, buddy.  😮

The actual bill is located here.

It’s not the easiest thing to read (legalese plus poor formatting), so I’m slowly making my way through it. 

I just finished reading it (although, i did not investigate references to other, existing portions of law) and i fail to see how a computer repairperson (performing normal, daily…[Read more]

Now I have to fix my Lenovo laptop because I just spit my coffee all over it!  Brutal, Bill.

Haha, whoops! I was just following standard EH-netiquette by answering his question 🙂

It’s well documented through several other posts by iSmith that there is nothing wrong with Vista  😉

LOL! Very well documented 🙂

Not even to check the EH Net forums? 😛

I’ve read a few differing stories about this incident.

One of the figures I’ve heard quoted is that US systems get scanned or attempted compromises 300million times a day, that’s a lot of background noise to pick through to find the right answer.

Whilst it is entirely possible that all of these (this and recent) attacks are coming from China, if…[Read more]

Congratulations.  I wish I had the balls to go out on my own.

Seconded 😀

From my experience small firms (in any field, not just security) tend to work quite well whilst they remain small. Often the ‘good’ small firms get taken over/merged with a bigger player, whilst the ‘poorer’ small firms tend to get bored to…[Read more]

The funny thing is, in my state to get a PI license you basically only need to fill out an affidavit that you’ve never been convicted of a felony.  Oh, and send the state $250  😉

Not surprised at all…anything to make a few bucks!
