dennyk posted:At least you were doing replication as well as your regular mysqldumps/XtraBackups, so you didn't lose much, right? Didn't lose anything as it was the old DB server I was decommissioning and it promptly died when I tried to copy some stuff off it. Glad we moved production off it a month ago. However, asked our hosting company to power cycle it to see if I could get it responding again and they switched off a different machine which is still down an hour later.

Turns out this was code for we've hosed up the config on your server and are frantically trying to fix it before you notice. Server was running xen hypervisor. After its unexpected power cycle it came backup up with a non xen kernel which fucks up the networking but its no biggy, you just have to reboot it with the right boot image selected. Unless you're our hosting company who try to 'fix' the networking by running system-config-network and overwriting the quite fiddly setup needed to get xen to bridge vlan'd connections. Took them a further 4 hours to get a kvm connection that actually worked setup up so I could go in and fix it. Only an 11 hour outage because they mislabeled the servers.

Return Of JimmyJars posted:Next time you buy mission critical hosting make sure your server has ipmi/kvm access. All of our newer gear does have ipmi on it for this very reason, it was one of our ancient ghetto servers that was getting binned in a week anyway. If they'd waited a couple of days to kill it the last of the traffic would have been moved and I wouldn't have cared. Return Of JimmyJars posted:Yes it really happened. It was a couple

blackswordca posted:Stupid problem with Trent Micro Worry-Free Business Security 7. Each site for this client has their own trend micro server and with our domain name change a few months ago an issue has cropped up with one site. Trend is dumping can-to-email documents from the MFP into the jumk mailbox. We have verified it is trend doing it as outlook reports that it is a third party application filtering the email and there is no other non-standard software installed that is setup to filter email in any way. I have been through the configuration for the server, desktop and everything top to bottom and I cannot find any settings for email filtering. I have checked the trend servers for each site and they are all configured the same as far as I can tell. My googlefu has failed me as when i search for any kind of trend micro issues, I just get setup documentation for it. When you say you can't find the email filtering settings, do you not have this screen?  Accessed via menu->security settings, then selecting the exchange server name from the list, then configure. jre fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Oct 9, 2013 |

lampey posted:Dell has some items that are fixed config, and some that are fully configurable. Its generally the same underlying hardware, but you have to talk to a sales guy to find out some things. They've removed the ability to customise the hardware on all the desktops on the UK website, it was there last month when I was pricing up some machines to replace our remaining XP machines still not done  I asked one of the online chat reps for which machines are still configurable on the site and she none of them were now. So the option is spend days emailing our rep or bug them to upgrade us to premier.

Entropic posted:How in the hell? The digital desk phones we have in work use a Ethernet connector and go through the same patch panel. They draw their power from the exchange similarly to POE. That should be enough to blow up the ethernet port if you were to plug it in by mistake.

GreenNight posted:That's hosed up. You'd think there would be some intelligence so that wouldn't happen. It's an old style system that pre-dates proper converged ethernet / phones networks. The plugs on the phone aren't Ethernet but we use converters to share the wiring. Thankfully no-one has managed to use the wrong socket yet.

wintermuteCF posted:The point that was being made is that "mint chocolate chip ice cream", when encrypted, is just 29 characters that for all you know are random. Even if you guessed "mint" was the first word, you don't know you got the first word right, because you still have 25 characters. As someone pointed out, this isn't a guessing game where someone is going to go "OKAY YOU GOT ME MINT IS THE FIRST WORD, WANNA KEEP GUESSING?" It's not more secure because its based on chained dictionary words. Are you familiar with the bitcoin concept of brain wallets ? Basically there was a system to create a cryptographic private key from phrases so that you would never have to write down the private key but could reconstruct it from a long phrase. Some enterprising genius was able to clean out lots of people by brute forcing billions of combinations of dictionary words then cleaning out the wallets as soon as anyone put money in them. It was trivial for this person to precompute the private keys using quote files, books , wikipedia etc.

nielsm posted:Except that you have to know the password has that form. Install Windows posted:If you know the system you're attacking allows very long password lengths, you can make sure your bruteforce attempts will include combinations of dictionary words with spaces before it switches over to iterating through aaaaaaaB and after running the first 2000 most common passwords in password database leaks. Many people overestimate how strong these passwords are because they don't appreciate how trivial it has become to brute force combinations of dictionary words. Hacker finds sql injection in dickbutts.com which is still using md5 for passwords and steals all the hashes. Even if they are individually hashed this does not significantly slow the the attacker down. Hashcat on this hardware 2x AMD HD 6990, 880 MHz GPU (clocked from 800), 1250 MHz RAM (stock) Catalyst 12.1 Windows 7 x64 can bruteforce md5 at MD5 23083.9 M/s md5($pass.$salt) 23082.0 M/s http://thepasswordproject.com/oclhashcat_benchmarking That's 23 Billion passwords checked per second. If you were to use one of amazon's GPU compute nodes it would be even quicker.

BrainWeasel posted:Quick update on BOFHMan; looks like his stunt is sort of working, because our corporate overlords sent an investigation team to our location, and invited sysadmin to prep some Powerpoint slides and sit in on a meeting with them and the people who set our budget to determine the root cause of the outage. I was not privy to the meeting, but I understand from a coworker that the sysadmin's slides included not just some strong language, but several clipart cartoons of a man pointing an accusatory finger out of the screen. He is still employed; I can only assume that corporate is still too stunned by the magnitude of this near-miss disaster to get defensive and retributive about him speaking truth to power. That must have been for your coworker
