@summerheat @amarildojr Probably not. If it works as advertised, and is configured correctly, it should be okay against ITW stuff. Also, to be...
Tried messing around with it a bit, found the GUI rather convoluted. Also I can't get my Win7 VMs to update properly at the moment. Some other...
Hah, and I was just setting up a Win7 VM for pentesting. I'll give it a spin. :)
This does sound good, but IMO people should consider where it's coming from. The US government has a record of shortsightedness, hypocrisy, and...
The Xubuntu install medium should work fine, as would anything reasonably up to date.
You can't "fix" them, but Linux can mark them as known bad. For ext4 filesystems, use 'e2fsck -c'. As with any fsck invocation, only do this when...
Thanks @Brummelchen. I was basically thinking "virtual thin clients." Or maybe "streaming Windows as a local network service." i.e. have...
On Linux, you can have setups where a computer boots via PXE, or from a minimal boot partition; and the initramfs then mounts an NFS share as the...
@emmjay Finally! They should have done that years ago. (Too bad about Win10's spying habits though.)
I always thought there was something kind of lax about npm... That said, I wonder about stuff like this w.r.t. other language package managers....
@BoerenkoolMetWorst mirimir (above) is probably right; It sounds like your video card does not like compositing window managers. The issue is...
Hey all, just FYI regarding WSUS Offline Updater - the command line version has an option to skip dynamic update resolution, and just try to apply...
@mirimir It'd be nice if that were actually possible while keeping a job. Edit: to be a bit clearer, I'm an IT worker. All of my full-time...
@Windows_Security My advice re QupZilla is currently "Don't." http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/the-mess-that-is-webkit.383710/
@chrome_sturmen Using network filesystems for this would probably open up waaaay more holes than it could possibly close. Also, locked files...
@Windows_Security I sent you another PM, please refer to that. And everyone: I really need to stress here that my own software projects are...
Ah. Hmm. I'm not sure I trust GesWall. It's not been maintained for quite a while, the sandbox seemed kind of lax IIRC, and I've heard bad things...
Okay, so I know that AV company hype is usually exaggerated, but this is taking things quite far IMO, even for hype. My guess: product reaches...
@_Owl_ I sure would hope the traffic is encrypted, otherwise MITM attacks are possible! However, not all traffic in an encrypted connection is...
I don't use Dropbox myself, but this is interesting. Maybe record a packet log, and look at it under e.g. Wireshark? Also, it would be...
So, this was basically the situation I faced a few months back: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/keeping-a-novice-safe-online.378752/...
@amarildojr Sysprep is the tool Microsoft provides for creating OEM images of Windows, with updates and preinstalled software. It does not allow...
@amarildojr been there, done that. I'm guessing you ran into the issue where Windows Update running time is CPU bound, and apparently quadratic...
@AutoCascade Oh, wow. I've thought Mint was needlessly insecure for a while, but never would have imagined that level of incompetence.
@Peter2150 IMO the issue isn't users getting dumber (which I have to disagree vehemently on), so much as a) Extremely poor security of smart...
Separate names with a comma.
