Want to learn the OSI model in a way that you’ll remember? See my class that parallels a spy thriller.

Knowing the OSI model is a necessity for the NETWORK+, A+, and CCNA.

I came here to learn about computer and its security and everything ralaed to it.

Here are the details of the security discussion I held last week:

Anybody interested in classes on protecting against specific attacks on web apps?


XSS attacks on Drupal


SQL injection attacks


SQL injection attacks in Drupal


XSS and XDRF

Ok, I finally got another security class out. This is divided into two classes: a free outline of what tools I use, and some detailed classes of how I use those tools and what pitfalls to watch out for it you use them.

The free introduction:

The detailed classes:

I have also written a glossary of basic security threats you might find as an individual online. It is also a nice introduction to the threats out there.

I’d love to but once I get on the floor I always freeze.

The person below me doesn’t freeze when speaking to a crowd in public.

I think my favorite presentation software (I haven’t used them all yet) was part of Corel’s Word Perfect studio.

I put the parts of my presentation that I might change in the text of a presentation package and the parts that will rarely, if ever, change in an image.

But OO doesn’t format the text the same way Microsoft does. I doubt if either are to blame here, but this is a place that OO becomes less valuable.

However, I am mad that there seems to be a glitch in OO’s programing that results in a crash much of the time I do an export. I think it is a race condition. If I am under pressure and try to get things done to quick, I’ll get the crash the majority of the time.

As much as I love the idea of open source, if I ran a large office I would pay for the convenience MS’s studio would give me.

How can fish bring me $$$$$?

Spear phishing is a lucrative money making enterprise for some.

“As of October 2009, there has been approximately $100 million in attempted losses [from spear phishing attacks].”

How about a Vampire with diabetes?

So Marco’s idea of fun is giving his friends into zombies and giving them pimples?

Maybe I should follow Agnes’ suggestion.

If someone is using OO to create PowerPoint presentations with text like I am, I suggest they get Microsoft’s free Power Point viewer to see how it will work in PowerPoint. Something that looks ok in one is broken in the other. This isn’t an issue when you are only inserting images.

On a side note: OO isn’t perfect, but in my opinion the difference in price justifies the inconvenience.

How do you choose the font face you use in a web-site? random pick? habit? what looks good at that moment?

I’ll bet people in the MSM have all the skills needed to fake a picture. Whether or not they want to teach it to the public is another matter.
