First off a fair warning. The websites I'm going to mention below, as of this writing, WILL cause re-directs to various random malware sites if you perform the steps I'm going to mention below. If…Continue

I haven't had much luck finding an 'out of the box' solution for just what we're looking for. Some services, like Egnyte or OneHub, looked promising but wasn't 'an exact fit'. As such, the on staff developers we…

Yeah, it's so easy to sniff a password for FTP it's not funny.
I've been tempted to mess around with coming up with a solution to this problem too.
what I was after, was a simple easy to manage/install and VERY simple to…

I've had https://www.egnyte.com on my list to try out for some time for similar such use but have not yet. If you try it out I'm sure we'd all love to hear your review.
Mike Rigsby replied to Mike Rigsby's discussion 'Encrypted Alternative to FTP ideas'
So far I'm thinking Onehub might be a good option.
Encrypted Alternative to FTP ideas
This is a project I'm taking on for 2012 so I figured I'd toss it out there to see if anyone had some ideas.Currently we host our own FTP for use in sending/receiving files from customers and vendors. As needed, we create Active Directory accounts for the various businesses and then email a contact their with their credentials. They then use whatever means their company uses to upload/download their files, often it's IE or we usually recommend FileZilla. In any event, this is a pain in the…See More

Mike Rigsby replied to Danny Nolan's discussion 'Where do you buy your supplies?'
We don't need new networking tools & such too often so, if/when we generally just check our usual vendor for sundry items, which is pcconnection.com
For cable, I keep bulk boxes of Cat5e patch and riser cable on hand which we…

Makes sense. I've emailed the bar a couple times because they're basically arguing with me about it.
They should be happy someone actually reported it. I also find it funny that the registrant's site is also poisoned. You'd think…

They do it by checking the referrer header sent by the browser which tells them the URL of the page where the link was from. It's usually done so that it's more difficult to detect that the web site has been hijacked, since people in the…
A weird malware site I came across that has me baffled
First off a fair warning. The websites I'm going to mention below, as of this writing, WILL cause re-directs to various random malware sites if you perform the steps I'm going to mention below. If this happens, just immediately Task Manager and close your browser and nothing will happen to your pc. Maybe some of you more experienced SysAdmin sorts have seen this before and know how they did it but I haven't, so here goes. I had a User accidentally find a malicious website while searching for a…See More

I'm still planning on at least plugging it back into the DMZ without any AV for longer to see how well it does. Currently it's been derailed by "real work" alas. Work always gets in the way of fun.
I did a similar project a…
Noj replied to Mike Rigsby's discussion 'Tossing a PC into 'A Shark Tank' Project'
Any updates on this experiment? or did it get thrown on the back burner in favour of so called "real work" :p
Stefan Pynappels replied to Mike Rigsby's discussion 'Tossing a PC into 'A Shark Tank' Project'
It would be interesting to do the same experiment with a Linux box and compare the results in some sort of graphic, although you would need to decide whether to use known vectors such as password protected SSH and VNC (of pretty much any flavour in…

Yeah I've had a few of those. bleeping computer.com is a good resource for them.
