i am asking this here because i don't know who else might know, also this story is really funny

i got a random phone call from a guy who said "i am calling from microsoft help and tech support. we have detected that your computer is throwing errors and warnings. this also means you are downloading technical faults which are causing stopages of Microsoft services on your computer".

basically, these guys are trying to steal my computer over the phone, which is really ballsy

they had me open up msconfig, go to the services tab, and asked me "how many of the services are showing as 'stopped'?" when i said "like 50", he said "oh my goodness, that is very bad! i am going to send you to level 2 support now!"

level 2 support guy told me to type in iexplore ammyy.com (it's a lightweight remote desktop app), and then tried to give me the number so he could have control of my computer, at which point I called him a dick

so, uh - first off, this scam is blowing my mind. they're using the phones to send tricksy e-mail spam. second off, does anyone know who i should report these guys to? i would like these people to go to jail if at all possible

theflyingorc posted:

thats sad

they also told me "i'm sure you've heard about the china people who have been hacking us computers"

that's not a paraphrasing, he actually tried to scare me about "the china people"

how should I be handling RPC traffic with the windows firewall? we have some siemens software that talks over rpc and one of my coworkers broke the poo poo out of it and left it for me to fix. firewall exceptions for the services are defined by process name which I thought would be enough, but instead it hits the rpc initiator port and then fails on the handoff because its not allowing the rpc endpoint mapper ports through. I fixed it fast and dirty by making a general rule that allowed whatever inbound traffic the rpc service wanted to pass from the right ip ranges but I don't know if there is a better way to do this

i just moved into a new place and the same router that reliably got me 100+ mbps before now struggles to hit 20, and no amount of coaxing or fiddling with settings helps. it's MAYBE 15 feet further away from my computers. i blame the huge mirror in the bathroom between the router and the computers

ya, and there's a blower on the other side of the hall for the hvac

its cool though, there's a cable outlet in the office so ima move it into this room. it should reach the tv ok but we'll see

Panty Saluter posted:

2.4 punches thru pretty well but of course its crowded as gently caress so performance is still not great. id be more worried if i didnt have the option of moving the gear into the office vv

we're getting new netapp hardware to replace our current old as poo poo and imploding units. the storage network is running on 1gig twisted pair and my boss is being cheap and poo poo and not forking up the money 10gig switches like I need and making me limp along with the old poo poo. our bottleneck has always been the old units disk and never the network links getting saturated, but that's about to invert. how does vmware handle saturation of the storage fabric when the disk still has capacity? I'm hoping I can aggregate together enough interfaces to get 6gig total (currently only 2) but thats nothing compared to the 20gig minimum I would have from new switches

my stepdads beer posted:

now i have a question. does tcpdump manage to hook into interfaces before the firewall rules are applied?

bobbilljim posted:

it's all on my desk and it's something to do with certain packets not being double vlan tagged and so not making it through the switch hardware in my router

bobbilljim posted:

since you asked its a router that i write horrible java code for, it has a chip that provides 5 gigE ports but they all show up as vlans under eth0 due to the way it works, so if you also want to have other vlans then certain things need to be doubel tagged and poo poo.

my coworker informed me earlier that the way we do native vlans (create a bridge between the lan port and a vlan) won;t work on this one due to this chip and the fact that it is "smart enough" to not allow that kind of horseshit
