Guestbook

This is my guestbook. You are my guest. I guess that makes this your book. Hmmm... Just remember, you're sharing it with everyone else, so be nice. :)

Hey,Shawn
I'm final year engineering student
& I want to make my final year
project on linux.
Please give me some idea for
my project.
If you can give me any idea then
send on my id (ricoo.sachan214@gmail.com)
I'll be highly obliged.

Well Hello There.

Shawn,

Upon your recommendation I took a look at the MosKeyto (LJ Feb, p. 16). I've been ogling small USB drives so this looked like "the thing to get." Looked it up at Newegg and the price looked good too. However, this device took a real beating in the reviews by purchasers: it was found to be slow and commonly unreliable.

That doesn't keep me from reading more. Keep up the good work.

Love the tech tips, You're to me very talented and on your game

Hey Shawn,

I feel I know you from all your articles, videos and postings. Hope your house is soon rebuilt and the medics find a way to cure your migraines (my wife is an occasional sufferer).

I look forward to reading your articles for many years to come.

Cheers
Smotsie

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
