Hi All am back after a short break!
Now first the news of this new attack thru javascript that allows Browsers like Internet Explorer to download malware 4rm websites in Russia.I have heard a few techies really calling on the dumpingof Ie and using other browsers!
What Have I done
Am soon to try Firefox on my other systems.The weakest Link is as always the Home users who have IE by default and dont look out for the L8test Vulns on The CVS site.
There is also news that Service pack 2 is gnna coz a big break up of applications on users systems.Now this will be taking the Piss !Installed my over 3,Grand software on theis winXp platform and itis toasted by a sp2 upgrade? Hope nOt!
Watch and wait, is what I will do.
The news that the use of a mobile fone may affect my sperm count especially if placed in my pocket didnt bring a smile to my face.Heck now we cant even use Gsm technology without catching testicular cancer,low spermatogenisis and God knows what else more.
I cant iMagine what the heck is next: 'smoking may cure>>>>>>Obesity??';-)
Am back to my sour self and craving for a new operating system to take my miseries away>>>> I shud get a grip on BSD Linux >>>>>asap!

Long bank holiday and a bit of a hang oer.What a hectic morning at Heathrow!A glitch in the system has created chaos in the flight plans!.
This underscores the need for Upgrading software and proper backup and disastor recovery procedures in any network or enterprise.
Cna you handle a total breakdown in network communictions? Is your staff trained to do manual handling of opertions in case of a total breakdown.How would you cope?
Does your system need Upgrading? If so waiting isnt the solution and may prove to be more costly as the National air traffic Service at Heathrow has found out.
The problem has been handled well and goes to show that many recovery procedures were in place and effected.
Now picture a situation caused by externally induced circumstances like DDOS attacks or sabotage? Are there checks in place to mitigate this >?
Those are key questions Network professionals should be asking 2 day!
