Just wanted to point out that SourceFire allows us common folks to purchase official SNORT VRT licenses on the cheap. At the tune of $29.00 a year, yeah, I’m game.
Have fun!
This too shall pass.

Want to build a high end desktop computer for a low end price (around $600 or less)?
Note: I don’t include Windows 7 in the default build, as you can just download Ubuntu, Fedora, or OpenSuSE Linux etc. for free. However, I’ve included links for Windows 7 (student and normal) in the Additional options section.
I would like to suggest the following components for people that want a really nice system without breaking the bank.
I just built a new machine that could support running multiple VMware instances, encode FLAC quickly, and surf the web etc. without breaking the bank. I didn’t need or want video gaming support since I use a PS3 for that.
However, I’ll suggest a view options (including gaming cards) that will allow you to alter the basic system we’ll be discussing.
This build is based on AMD/ATI since it really does perform well and saves a good chunk of money, but the parts can be swapped very easily to make it an Intel system that won’t break the bank either.
I’ll expand on why I chose the parts and provide direct links as well. (I use Newegg, but use anyone you like)
Detective Inspector Bruce van der Graaf from the Computer Crime Investigation Unit of the NSW Police says, “”If you are using the internet for a commercial transaction, use a Linux boot up disk – such as Ubuntu or some of the other flavours…It gives you an operating system which is perfectly clean and operates only in the memory of the computer and is a perfectly safe way of doing internet banking,”
Sounds like a good plan to me, but then, I’m sure most of you reading this are already in agreement. It’s just good to see this sort of thing hitting major news sites.

Background:
This guide will use the ClamAV CLI scanner and the ClamAV-Update script (freshclam).
I wrote this to help all the HomeSOHO users (servers or desktops).
ClamAV has various tools/packages/plugins for email servers etc. but that’s another story.

Obviously, you can change anything you want, but this should get you going.
Have you ever been in a rush or just had a complete brain freeze with your MySQL passwords?
Well…..I have. 🙂
——————————-
Step # 1 : Stop mysql service
SHELL> /etc/init.d/mysql stop
——————————-
Step # 2: Start to MySQL server w/o password:
SHELL> mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
——————————-
Step # 3: Connect to mysql server using mysql client and setup the new root password:
SHELL> mysql -u rootmysql> use mysql; mysql> update user set password=PASSWORD("$PASSWORD") where User='root'; mysql> flush privileges; mysql> quit
——————————-
Step #4: Stop and Restart MySQL Server: (try your new $PASSWORD)
SHELL> /etc/init.d/mysql stop SHELL> /etc/init.d/mysql start SHELL> mysql -u root -p
——————————-
Note: There are other ways to reset the password, but I like this one.
Over the past few years several people on the VMware communities forums have released patches to fix the vmware modules for the next “fresh” release of the Linux Kernel / Distro. I’ve used them in the past with much success, but I generally like waiting for the official VMware support. However, I’m pretty excited about Fedora 11 (just to many new goodies not to play) and I noticed there’s a new updated patch for 2.6.29 and even 2.6.30 Kernels!
VMware Workstation 6.5.2 module patches/discussion: 2.6.29
VMware Workstation 6.5.2 module patches/discussion: 2.6.30
Sun has official Fedora 11 support (and now 2.6.31) with VirtualBox: VirtualBox 3.0.0 (if that’s your cup of tea)
Note: Obviously Fedora is the test bed for the QEMU/KVM merger so you can go that route as well, but I love VMware. ;0)
Here is a great article to get you moving on the QEMU/KVM way of life: Clik Me
