PuTTY SSH client security

2014-07-10 Thread Kitty Cat
I use PuTTY to connect to my Debian boxes. I was concerned about whether PuTTY is susceptible to the Heartbleed bug, etc. as I noticed that the program has not had any updates in quite some time. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Is this software still considered to be secure?

I have two questions: 1. Would anyone be willing to give me a link to a simple USB keyboard that you think would work with this machine at boot time? Perhaps on Amazon.com or Newegg.com, etc.? 2. Do you know of a Debian CD of some type that will load a kernel without the need of a key press befor

My USB keyboard is connected directly to the computer. I have also tried it in every USB port on the computer. The keyboard doesn't even work at the Windows bootloader menu or the Grub menu or the menu I get when I boot the Debian DVD. I did manage to get Debian installed as I said in my other me

USB keyboard will work. However, if the keyboard doesn't start working after the kernel loads, then I'm stuck and won't be able to do anything with the computer. On Fri, Jun 27, 2014 at 8:32 PM, B wrote: > On Fri, 27 Jun 2014 20:12:11 -0600 > Kitty Cat wrote: > > >

Can't install Debian - USB keyboard doesn't turn on until Windows loads
