Sheep posted:Python.org's Tutorial is decent for wrapping your head around the basics. After that just have the Library Reference open in another window (you want section 11 for file manipulation, for example) until you get the hang of things. The Fool posted:That thread has been in a tizzy about the definition of DevOps since your question. Thanks! This is more or less exactly what I am looking for, and the Reference Library instantly filled a gap for me. Wonder if I can manage to fit learning this into my unemployed time between moving and job hunting...

My yearly review is coming up, and I'm tired of being second fiddle to the ridiculously incompetent sysadmin. The plan is to propose a new position of Information Security Admin and nominate myself for the role. We're a decently sized financial organization with no infosec roles, which just seems silly. It's currently up to senior admin and myself to monitor all anti-virus and firewall logs, maintain network security, implement new firewall policies and VPNs. Except I've had to explain in childish terms how VPN tunnels work to the senior admin. He's very much a physical equipment guy and doesn't have much of a mind for the digital side of IT. Any recommended talking points to hammer on to convince the org I'm worth an extra $15k focusing more on the infosec side of financial IT?

Guys, what experience do you have regarding security training and monitoring? I'm talking about products or services that provide a security awareness training and then monitor the effects of the training through false phishing and stuff of the sort - is there a company that stands out regarding such training? I want to convince my boss that we can sell this service to our clients, possibly starting a new business area, and I'm currently looking for partners to possbily buy the information and products from.

Most of us use KnowBe4 for phishing training, at least. They've got a ton of educational videos as well but I wasn't impressed enough with them to go importing users, giving them accounts, and trying to get them to actually watch them.

I don't yet have the powershell chops to iterate through all shared folders and output file and share permissions. This one client has 8 billion shares each of which has subfolders with difference access controls. I guess I get to do this by hand

If I ever take a subversive action just prior to quitting this place it will be to meld all the stupid network shares into a streamlined and sensible arrangement. The chaos it would create would be most enjoyable. "BUT WHERE'S THE W DRIVE? AND X? AND Q? AND T? AND L? AND O? AND AND AND AND..."

Varonis (DatAdvantage at least) might be the best enterprise product I've ever used, but it's expensive as balls. I was once trying to do the exact same thing you're trying to do, and that started us on a demo of Varonis and led to buying it eventually.

It's impossible to say unless you get an actual quote, because obviously there are some major discounts and environmental differences that come into play. Your purchasing department definitely needs to talk to them to get an accurate idea. They licence by user count for AD modules, and by number of probe/collector/file servers, number of Exchange mailboxes, etc. All depends on what parts you buy.

Bear in mind this is just one aspect of the way he treats the company staff and resources as if they're his personal playthings. And we are running short on diskspace and I can't get approval to expand, so blowing away 200 gigs of his dumb poo poo is appropriate. There's no good business reason for them to be on our server. It's a quibble in the big picture of how lousy this place is but it still annoys me. EDIT: VVVV Hmmmmmm! I'll take a look at those.

Dick Trauma posted:There's one share just for the CEO's family pictures. 200 loving gigs of them. Run JPEGMINI and PNGGauntlet against them, depending on what format they're stored in. You'll save as much as 100 GB of storage space and it'll be visually indistinguishable to him, especially if these are full 12+ megapixel straight off the camera/scanner or whatever. https://pnggauntlet.com/ http://www.jpegmini.com/ In fact, for a lot of business image use as well, JPEGMini and PNGGauntlet are great ideas, particularly PNGGauntlet because that's entirely lossless recompression where JPEGMini is going to eliminate some small details.

We're technically not supposed to use the primary connection during the day, but let's let it slide for now. Customer 2 weeks ago: OMG why are we using the primary internet connection during the day?! This isn't supposed to happen! Customer today, after support team made requested changes: Our branches are reporting that internet connectivity is incredibly slow. WHAT DID YOU DO?!

This is pretty close to where I was when I gave up, except I used WMI to get all the shares and then foreach() looped against that list. (While driving I realized just a bit ago that I would have to use Get-ChildItem -recurse because of the special snowflake subdirectories.) The issue I am finding is that I can't (don't know how to) filter accesstostring so that I only end up with interesting domain\secgroup entries and not NT AUTHORITY or BUILTIN whatever permissions. I can't seem to get any of the conditional logic operators to work on it. Also, because I have to recurse through 4 or 5 directory layers, in an instance where a root share has 10 standard-permissioned subdirectories each with 10 standard subdirectories and 1 special snowflake folder, I will either have to code for every special condition (how?) or manually trawl through all the duplicates Thanks for the help

All of us at the corporate headquarters are required to attend one of those teambuilding "everyone work together to get out of a locked room," in groups that were selected by HR. This is in lieu of a company picnic at a ballgame for all the families. I declined explaining I have contractors scheduled off site to supervise, but I was told in no uncertain terms to be there. Kill. Me. Now.

If you want to build a team without spending money, setup a goddamn pot luck. Edit: Oh, and the lady in there was convinced that Canada was secretly the British wing of the Kremlin. It was fun listening to her while trying not to pass out for two hours.

Man the more I hang out with guys who used to be technical and moved into management naturally and hate it, the less I ever hope to be that person. On the plus side of this job, I've finally gotten past the "clean up bullshit" that I had to deal with from the previous not as technical network SE, and now I am architecting and helping close huge projects that I'm actually excited to build.
