As others have said Packet Tracer is a good start - you can find it online at "places". There are also some courses / classes you can get that will work with Packet Tracer which can be useful to help work on certain area's If you're looking to just learn about networking. In general the Cisco...

Just bumping this (hey it's for a good cause). Just I'm cross posting what I posted on WHT - I'll match anyones donation up to $500 personally if you PM me your details. Even if you don't join the furry festivities please donate!

Going to follow the rules? If so better toss that face furniture and start fresh.

Why hello folks! Whose going to be joining us in our adventure to grow the manliest mustache in the name of fighting for men's health? For those of you not familiar with Movember I'd suggest checking out the Movember website to become more familiar with it. If you're going to do it please join...

Without knowing how their infrustructure was setup it's difficult to say however I'd say the majority of Fortune 500 companies will be using a HSM to handle the keys and not something silly like what WHMCS does (placing a arbritrary key in a config file on the same machine). Generally speaking...

Bingo - it's likely unrelated to the Adobe link. Corrleation != causation. Unfortunate however - hopefully you can contact anyone you have bills with and they'll understand.

It really depends on what but we use Nagios + check_mk + pnp4nagios for general monitoring. We use Munin for resource graphing and Cacti for other SNMP metrics (IE: switches). We use Smokeping to monitor latency / strange issues from other locations. We're in the midst of migrating over to...

The best one is really dependent on your needs. If you're creating a RESTful API Flask & Bottle (as others have mentioned) are absolutely amazing. If you're looking to build a robust portal a full stack framework like Django or TurboGears is not a bad way to go - the learning curve is steep but...

I think the latter. And I'm shilling for mod_security while others are shilling for Naxsi. *takes off the tin foil hat*

Great advice but if you'd want stronger encryption use something like AES-256 and have a certificate handy: http://stackoverflow.com/a/12233688 You could use a keypair although for larger files it's unsavory at times.

LiteSpeeds mod_security implementation is iffy at best (in my opinion - although they've done a better job at improving it). We personally put web applications that we don't trust / that are important behind Apache / mod_security to get the fullest effect. Far too many times we have seen wrong...

That is definitely useful but things such as WHMCS (or really any web application) should be behind a WAF. Most generic SQL injection rules would have prevented this - I know ours prevented the exploit from even getting to WHMCS. I'd recommend taking a peak at ASL's modsec rules - they're...

ColoCrossing has a global network. Routers and switches are expensive - especially when you have a larger network (IE: Buffalo, Chicago, etc). While the number itself is trivial one can easily drop $20,000 - $50,000 or more on a single device. Add in transit and everything else it's not that...

You have bigger issues if you're still running 4.x ;)
