It's not just zero day, but when signing up for AlienVault's OSSIM, you can subscribe to their Open Threat Exchange. I have it email me whenever they find something new, which is almost every day. The latest one was "Flying Dragon Eye: Uyghur Themed Threat Activity" https://otx.alienvault.com/pulse/581916f4aa96ef71368c8e47/?utm_source=email&utm_campaign=new_pulse_from_subscribed

Hmm... I have an account already. I think it goes to junk...

Well, fix that and you've already got one!

@stacksofplates I want to check that out too. Is it available for more than RHEL?

Yup. Pretty much everything

Oh nice. Need to spend some time on it.

@sn said in Alternative option for Sophos XG 230 Security Appliance:

Are there any yearly subscription charges involved with Edge Routers to maintain the firewall features working or is it going to be a one time purchase?

All EdgeOS features are inclusive. Nothing is licensed separately and everything is included in the hardware, no license needed even for the base package. EdgeOS is free, you could get it on its own, but it is only built for the EdgeRouters so if you don't own an EdgeRouter hardware you'd be on your own to get it to install on something. So they have no need to charge for the software separately from the hardware.

Statements like this need to be tempered by the fact that an EdgeRouter is not a UTM. It's just a router/firewall. This isn't meant to downplay the EdgeRouter, but to ensure people understand the differences between it and something like the Sophos appliance this thread is about. i.e. the Edgerouter doesn't do antivirus scanning or web filtering. If you need these features, you'll need to purchase them through another means if you use an EdgeRouter. Many here would say that's the better way to go anyway, one device, one function (at least in this case).

I'm slowing switching everything over to snipe-it. How about 200 assets and 100 licenses in it so far. Much happier then the previous method.

She is more concerned with Contacts and photos...so....I manually set an iCloud backup on old phone and she will leave phone with me overnight as it does a backup over our WiFi here at work...will see if her new phone slowly syncs that new data...otherwise, I will try the other suggestions listed above...

I bet she fills up her new 256GB iPhone in record time...

Contacts are stored .... where? Not in something like GMail or whatever?

She does it all on iCloud...

That almost seems impossible.

iCloud backs up automatically when you are plugged in and on WiFi. Unless she was never on WiFI the past year.

She is never (or rarely) on WiFi and if she is, it may be because her phone is so full, it never completes a WiFi backup in the time she is in WiFi...she doesn't use WiFi at home...just cellular data...since this phone is no longer activated, it has to use WiFi...

If that phone has been sitting in your office for days (like the week you've mentioned) did it not try to backup over your WiFi already?

OK She's never on WiFi - sounds like an actual, real life backup solution needs to be discussed, she's breaking the typical (WiFi based) one.

I've tried...so many times on backup solutions for her...she is nice about it but doesn't trust it...she is so worried about losing her pictures...I've been trying to get her to accept a backup plan for a few years now...

LOL - so worried, but so unwilling to do anything about that worry. Well, one day her phone will die, and the backups won't be there, then she'll see where her concerns really were.

Her words say one thing, but her actions clearly say another - really Scott should be making this post not me.

Yeah, where's is @scottalanmiller

Let him talk to her. LOL.

The process should be pretty simple. Unjoin the W2k3 machine from the NT 4 domain, rename the user's home folder, join it to the new domain, login as Admin and let it create the new profile directory. The use the profile copy options to get the profile copied over.

See the XP instructions here: https://kb.iu.edu/d/aidk

@scottalanmiller Also, using just using the root domain name for the conf file name is potentially confusing depending on how much you are hosting.

Even for my gaming website, I have a bunch of sub domains setup.

www.daerma.com.conf goes to the root and www.
oc.daerma.com.conf is owncloud
obelisk.daerma.com.conf is my nodeBB forum

That does not even get into what do you do about the ones that you have multiple TLD names for such as .it, .com, .org, etc.

If I was doing it over again from scratch, I'd probably not use USB.

Are you redirecting logs?

Yes.

@sn said in Learning Azure:

That is why I was looking for Azure in the first place.

Then drop Azure and switch to Vultr. No reason to even have Azure on the table. I know that people looking at Windows virtualization often jump to it, same as they do with Hyper-V, because of the "Microsoft" association. But it is a very bad choice here and should not even be on the short list. Vultr is drop dead simple, there is nothing to learn. Just set up your VM and go. You are in better shape out of the gate than you are spending lots of time learning how to deal with Azure. Even if you learn Azure extensively you will be overpaying for a more risky service than you would get with Vultr because Azure is not even meant for this use case.

@DustinB3403 said in CP - Dell vs HP server quotes:

I've received two quotes for new server hardware - one from our local reseller and one directly from Dell. As far as I can tell, the two quotes are identical spec-wise but the local reseller is almost $12k more expensive. Here are the two quotes:

Quote from Dell:
2x Dell PowerEdge R430 servers $6,665.60

2x Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs 2x 32 GB RDIMM Diskless configuration
1x Dell SCv2020 iSCSI SAN $10,303.26 14x Dell 1.2 TB SAS 12GB, 10k, 2.5" HD
1x Dell N2048 gigabit switch $1,693.49

TOTAL: $18,662.35

HP Quote from local reseller:
2x HP ProLiant DL360 servers $7,266.00

2x Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs 64 GB RAM (unknown configuration) Diskless configuration
1x HP MSA 2040 SAN $20,932.00 14x HP MSA 1.2 TB 10K SAS 2.5in drives includes $5,850 in labor so actual price
is only $15,082
1x Cisco Catalyst 2960-X gigabit switch $2,320.00

TOTAL: $30,518.00

Difference: $11,855.65

Is there any reason why I should choose the HP solution over the Dell solution? I will be running vSphere 6 on these servers. I'm not familiar with managing either server line so either way I'll be learning new management tools. When it comes to support I think I trust my local reseller more than Dell but $12k extra is hard to stomach just for that.

[Edit: CP Code M.]

Unless that OP is restricted to 1U hosts, I would go with the quote from Xbyte for Dell 730xd with same specs as in quotes is
0_1477764464719_upload-e7876862-aaf2-4c7d-9461-089a8141fab5

Multiply by 2, add Starwind's vSAN and a couple 10Gb NICs and he's done. Especially if only 2 hosts. Same(ish) price, way more reliability, better performance all around. I'd post that reco on SW but would likely get banned lol.

The one thing not mentioned is if there are other hosts connecting to the SAN.

Untangle. 😄

You've gotten to mess with that more than I have. Have you checked out the content filtering and such? Does it have a VPN client? I couldn't remember if OpenVPN is available on that or if I'm thinking of pfSense...

https://wiki.untangle.com/index.php/IPsec_VPN

Don't feel bad @zuphzuph - I installed Untangled at two NPOs and and if I could have found a small enough PC to run it at home years ago I would have. However - I was 'coerced' into not doing so and that it was a bad idea.

I have a UBNT ERL here at home now, I know one Untangled box I installed has been pulled, as it's now in the scrap pile here at home. Since it was hardware I had bought personally, they gave it back to me (minus the drives).

There are times though I still would like to have one running, just for giggles..

Feel bad about what? Find a bridge.

I understand Scott comment about trusting hyper-v vs. VMware but the reality of that situation bro I was down at the hyper-v is so young in comparison to VMware

I'm not recommending it here, only stating that it is a weird emotional thing for the manager to dis VMware for Microsoft in a place where it is a pretty obvious technical problem but not do it where it would make sense.

LOl is it really weird? or is it normal even though it probably shouldn't be?

This makes me very sad.

To have a powerful login script, it becomes pretty complicated though - compared to how easy it is to do in Group Policy.

As far as the original topic, I agree with using email address as login names. I would also make the usernames "guessable". That way if you know one employees email address is firstname.lastname you have a chance at guessing another employee's email address. Let's face it, spammers are going to get it anyways, so you might as well make it easy on your clients.
