There are currently over 1500 machines that will be upgraded. It will be a big project if they have to create an image, but that is what I am trying to have them do, because probably 90% of the...

My company is getting ready to roll all of our Win2k machines over into WinXP Pro. My recommendation has been to use the NIST checklists to harden the boxes and roll fresh installs, however, I am...

I have had the same type of concern. I ran across a software program called LanSpider. I set it up to look for .avi, .mpg, ect......It nailed several systems. Hope this helps.

The tools mentioned by Ms Mittens and Horse are great tools (superscan and Nessus). Free is always good......

Tiger....Sounds like words of wisdom to me.....I think I will hang them in my office on Monday. Thanks to all the insight from everyone.

Sorry Tiger...Let me clarify
Networking = Network admins
The change to ssh from Telnet is still a change and these guys operate under the "if it ain't broke leave it alone" principle. There are a...

Ok, here is a good example of bad security. Telnet is being used by the network admins to connect to the routers on the network (Please hold the boo's til the end). Having over 100 devices to...

Knight-- "IT" in my case is on a separate subnet and is isolated from the other elements of the business and yet is part of one VLAN. When mitigating security risks for 'SNMP vulnerabilities' one...

This is an L3 switch....It is managed and remotely looked at occasionally.....I know audit and logs are a great idea, but lets say that it has not been viewed as a "need" by elements of the company

There is a switch on the network that is opening 3 ports and then closing them, then reopening them. I am going to disable them and see if anyone screams......Anyone seen this before?

First let me address Nihil concern........Look for posts from me over the last week and you will discover that I am just a guy trying to do his job. I have been reading information off this board...

Great ideas!!! The answer is yes to the idea of a VLAN. There are multipule locations with 1600 users overall. There is one VLAN, VPN, and Citrix in this environment. The network team is top...

Here is the senerio:

You talk to the networking gurus about this and they assure you that it is only accessable...
