Losing your social security card might not seem like a big deal right now, but it becomes a pain if you need to apply for benefits. It’s always best to report the missing card as soon as possible and ...

Running a cPanel server with ModSec. Trying to upload media to WordPress, any file larger than ~ 125KB is throwing a 404. In the Apache error logs, I found this being written on failed uploads: ModSecurity: Input filter: Failed to create temporary file /tmp/mod_security/20160827 Disabling ModSec restores functionality, but I hate to do that and would rather figure out what the issue is. Looking in my tmp/ directory, it's nearly empty with only the mysql.sock file and an .ftpquota file. Any th...

My Postfix server was working fine until last days but now, I can't receive emails from outside (I mean with an email of different domain name like gmail for example). I must make notice that I can send email from the server to gmail. From what I have seen, I think that issue may be my iptables rules : # iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy DROP) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh ACCEPT all -- ...

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and am using Vagrant to run a Ubuntu 14.04 Server with a LAMP stack setup. I am working on a Laravel 5.2 project, but constantly have issues with the permissions in the storage folder/sub-folders. Currently, the folders are owned by my user/group. Anytime some file needs to be created or written too, I get a permission denied error. I can fix this with by chmoding the files to 777. This however does't fix the issue of having the problem when a new file is made (for ...

I believe with Arris you would need to go to virtual server configuration. Then you would need to put an inbound port (whatever port your camera system listens on). Then the local port (same as camera system listens on) as well as an IP (inteal IP of camera system). Then browse to that IP (Exteal) and see if you can hit it. Once you can, there are plenty of port scanners online that will tell you if it's open and listening. I usually use MxToolbox Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I have a home network built around an ancient computer that I've tued into a router, running Debian Wheezy. The wireless part is based on a TP-LINK TL-WN851ND PCI card on the hardware side, and uses hostapd on the software side. Now, I have recently obtained a new phone, on which I am running CyanogenMod 12.1 (equivalent to Android 5.1). This device can connect to my wireless network, but most network operations (e.g. downloading things) result in timeouts, requiring retries. Fetching emails ove...

Currently my colleque is deploying some updates and Installations on 120 machines with PDQ Deploy. So far, everything works fine with silent install. However, one comes with some driver which requires confirmation from Windows Security. I tried to bypass this by disabling UAC, but still, this click is required. Does anybody have an idea by chance how to deal with this, since he doesn't want to remotely access all 120 machines and klick "Install"? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

I am trying to setup an OpenVPN server on my desktop that I will connect to on my laptop (both running windows 8.1 64-bit, with the 64-bit versions of OpenVPN installed). The setup procedure calls for the easy-rsa package, which is no longer included with OpenVPN, but is available separately. I have installed easy-rsa version 3.0.1. The first step in the setup is to run "init-config" in command prompt in the directory "C:Program FilesOpenVPNeasy-rsa", but it fails, giving me the typical "not rec...

I wanted to use my existing Dynamic Distribution Group as Security Group. Other than to use the same group to send mass emails, I also want to use it to share and give permissions to my Calendar. By the way, I am currently using Office 365 portal to create/manage my Dynamic Distribution Group. Thanks in advance. Let's block ads! بخوانید...

When iPhone is plugged in computer running Windows 10 it starts installing drivers. Windows doesn't show UAC screen, or user permission to install drivers. Sure, it is convenient, but what is the security model here? Does it mean that any usb stick can silently gain permission for arbitrary code execution? Or this usb stick would needs a signed certificate to do so? Let's block ads! بخوانید...

Is there anyway to disable Java from downloading this "securitypack.jar", but still allow the conceed Java a...

I have a friend I speak to over IRC. Let her name be X. X is quite security conscious, but not tech-oriented. Her email password would have taken 4 quadrillion years to crack according to https://howsecureismypassword.net It was 26 characters. She also used double authentication with her phone. She received a code on her phone to log in. Her email Provider, was hotmail. X got into a flame war with a guy named Y. She apparently rejected him. Some while later, her IRC account was jeopardised, and ...

Is there a relation between a data compression format (zip, gzip, bzip2, etc.) and it's ability to ease in recovering broken data? I want to store some backups (like tar.gzs) but then I started wondering what could happen if the archive somehow becomes corrupt, like when changing a single bit randomly. Will the entire file become useless or are there mechanisms to minimize damage? Most information I find is purely about storage efficiency and they never seem to mention possible corruptions...

Not a single advice i have came across helped me so far, you are my only hope guys. I registered a free certificate from startssl, and tried to install it on my postfix server. OpenSSL confirms that my private key matches the certificate, unencrypted key is chowned by Postfix user, and all other files are loading pretty well. However, whenever I either send mail, receive mail, or connect through telnet i get message in logs saying cannot get RSA private key from file /etc/postfi/ssl/mydomain.ke...

I have been having recurring issues with software patches for Windows 7(x64) and Microsoft Office (x86). My issue is not that windows wants to install updates that are already present, but rather it says updates are installed when they are not. This is not specific to one or two, but a couple dozen patches across several machines. Typically, I will receive notification a machine has an outstanding issue that needs to be patched, and will download it from Microsoft. Generally, it is just a .dll o...

I am running two HD 7970s in crossfire on my windows 10 rig. Through afterbuer I can see that both cards are working in tandem when bench marking and in most games. However, I have noticed in a few games, Skyrim mainly, that only the master is utilized when playing. The slave card usage does jump up a little bit when first loading different areas, however, it quickly drops back to zero and stays there. Are there some games that just can't use crossfire? Is there some setting I am unaware of? Le...
