[swinog] How to destroy data effectively?
Hi all. As some of you know, I work at a money laund... financial company. Some time ago, the question arose, how to effectively destroy data safely and securely in an easy way? How does your company deal with hard disks (or any media) that needs to be decommissioned? Do you just dd a few times over it? Or rather let a professional company shred your media to little bits?

Re: [swinog] Has Bluewin a DNS Problem
On the Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 02:42:36PM +0100, Tonnerre Lombard blubbered: Hoi. 1. it is highly unlikely that these stupid wannabe SPAM filters get the response containing so many PTR records right. It is most likely that either the software blows up or that it only ever considers the entry it receives first. Most mailservers just check if there is a PTR record at all and if there is none, reject the mail with a 5xx DSN. (Most likely the software blowing up will not even be remarked but instead the mail will be rejected silently.) Clever spamfilters will just add another score point to the spam score and not just pass or discard a mail based on a single criteria. Under the line, it is likely not a DNS issue, but the inability by some mail or AS systems resolving lists. Suspect my servers will fail, too. Xaver, pls send private reply for a test from that system, anytime. It is also a DNS issue, depending on the number of results returned; the size of a DNS/UDP response is limited to 1 UDP packet, which again is limited in size. Not everyone uses DNS over TCP, and it is unlikely to be adapted just because of such a stupid and useless SPAM filtering measure. While Xari's Setup with tons of PTR records is plain stupid. Xari, you should have a read about MX records. =:-) But DNS uses UDP and TCP as I just checked. RFC 1035, Chapter 4.2 says: The Internet supports name server access using TCP [RFC-793] on server port 53 (decimal) as well as datagram access using UDP [RFC-768] on UDP port 53 (decimal).

Then again I'd rather keep 2mbit for 75CHF if they'd offer me symmetric upstream instead ;) Yeah well, let's see about the upstream. I doubt this will raise in the near future. Outbound traffic is expensive plus DOCSIS Upstream takes place in the lower TV Band (VHF). Space is rather limited there and most headend stations (uBR) only have one or two connectors for upstream traffic (meaning upstream coming from the modem, even though it's labelled differently =:-) So basically all or even a big part of the customers modem share the same upstream channel. This is gonna get very tight, even if you use advanced modulations like QAM-256 (We normally use QAM-16 or even PSK at very small ISPs). Cablecom probably will offer greater bandwidths once they have switched to digital TV becaus of digital TV is capable of offering a multitude of TV programs over a single channel. And with DOCSIS 3.0 one can bundle channels for even more bandwidth. Needs new infrastructure (modems and uBRs) though.

OK, the posting of the URLS into this mailing list is maybe not the right choice... maybe in IRC? If it IS News, I'd say yes. But having posted the URL to every new story is probably a bit too much. Can get annoying very fast. How are the others thinking? Well, either I read it on Symlink[1] or it just is not important!

I think is not very easy... I make now a test at home... I have installed a counter on my PC and I'm looking, how mach of traffic the computer makes, without me... You must look Antivirus make every month min. 5-10 mb traffic. Windows Updates.. horror... Also, what traffic does count? All traffic? Cool, ruin your neighbour by ping-flooding him with ping -f -s 2048 or something. Or just IP? Hmm, well, SYN-Flood or UDP something. If it's only IP, there is an implementation of IP over ICMP called ptunnel which can be found here: http://www.cs.uit.no/~daniels/PingTunnel/ So what? I have almost no traffic whatsoever. And with that low bandwidth I don't care about tunneling all traffic to some proxy somewhere. The only problem for some users is to be able to use a suitable machine as a proxy but this could be whole new service to sell. =:-) CU, Venty ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog

So, you say you never update your Linux- and/or Unix-Systems? Good luck then. I think Windowsupdate is great, but thats more or less the only thing that I find good about Windows though.

Andre Oppermann schrieb: Hi. Swiss ISP's can only offer what Swisscom gives them (for ADSL that is). And Swisscom is not very forthcoming in this regard. The only true competition they have is Cablecom. Put that way, Swisscom will not upgrade speed, until Cablecom upgraded yet another time. And if you look at the speed distribution then 600/100 wins hands down with IIRC about 80% market share. Whether this is because it is enough bandwidth, or because higher bandwidth is too expensive is up to the reader. That's probably the reason for Sunrise offering a 150/50 abo with up to 20 MB of traffic per month. If you have more traffic, you pay per MB. I doubt though that this will be a big success since flatrates are very popular. CU, Venty ___ swinog mailing list swinog@lists.swinog.ch http://lists.swinog.ch/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/swinog
