Data breach exposes American Express credit cards

American Express is warning card members of a third-party data breach. Several other companies that use the hacked merchant processor could also be affected. Exposed American Express Card member data includes account numbers, names, and expiration dates. If exploited, cybercriminals can use this information to commit identity theft.

in internal device is setup to provide those updates. and the clients on the secure network go to the internal device for those updates.
like for windows, one could use Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)

just a couple of cell phones here, a few laptops, and a printer.  I did forget my work laptop, as I didn't work yesterday.

Wireless / Wireless AP upgrade
March 04, 2024, 01:13:32 PM
I went and bought a ASUS RT-AX86U Pro to replace my NetGear WAC104, I have them both running together until I get my wife and daugther to move over to the new network, then I will take out the Cisco 2950-12 and ASA5525 Firewall, and the WAC104, I could also probably pull out my Cisco 3550 also, and go 100% wireless with the  RT-AX86U connected directly to the cable modem.

I guess they showed you... spammers using politeness and etiquette.

in the end-to-end scenario, this is kind of what a VPN does,  creates a tunnel between 2 endpoints, although to get there, it does go hop by hop, but it's just that the path is transparent, and the network engineer would never see the real hop by hop path (e.g. in a traceroute).

Quote from: deanwebb on February 17, 2024, 09:50:11 PMIs this a clean installation or an upgrade?

If an upgrade, is there any way you can do a clean install?

no not a clean install, it's been my laptop for about a year,  rather not do a clean install.

from windows 11 system event log: today

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was: 0x0000004e (0x0000000000000007, 0x00000000004d420e, 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\021624-37796-01.dmp. Report Id: af82ef39-64d8-405d-a293-0f0bc1a6fb9e.

I looked at the .dmp file with wordpad but it was all gibberish. Seems like I am hitting something like this every day now for the past week or so.

I did purchase Norton Utilities Ultimate last week, and it did clean up a bunch of crap on my computer.

maybe it's time to run SFC /scannow.

Seems like it did something:

Beginning system scan.  This process will take some time.

Beginning verification phase of system scan.
Verification 100% complete.

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them.
For online repairs, details are included in the CBS log file located at
windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For offline
repairs, details are included in the log file provided by the /OFFLOGFILE flag.

log file is 3106KB

Management Tools / Re: Switch SNMP Connectivity Issue
February 09, 2024, 03:08:27 PM
Quote from: Otanx on February 09, 2024, 09:05:05 AMMost systems won't like some special characters. For linux try to stay away from any quotes " ' ` slashes /\ ampersand & dollar sign $. All of those have special meaning and have to be escaped to work, but it is just easier more secure to not use em at all.

sorry had to do that..  C:-)

try using SNMP get commands, SNMP walking is super intensive on device CPU

try it with no auth/no priv to test basic connectivity:
snmpget -v 3 -u <username> -l noAuthNoPriv -a SHA -A <Password> -x AES -X <Password> <IP Address> system.sysDescr.0

once you get that working, verify authorization works:
snmpget -v 3 -u <username> -l authNoPriv -a SHA -A <Password> -x AES -X <Password> <IP Address> system.sysDescr.0

one that works, verify auth and priv work:
snmpget -v 3 -u <username> -l authPriv -a SHA -A <Password> -x AES -X <Password> <IP Address> system.sysDescr.0

this will help identify where the issue resides.

Anyone have any experience with moving a data center?  out Fed wants to move one of our fairly large data centers, it's in an 80 year old building, they want to gut and refurbish the building.  Lessons learned?

circuit boards? AND and OR gates, transistors, resistors are a bit out of league here if you are trying to design a circuit board.

from google translator English to Dutch

Printplaten? AND OR poorten, transistors, weerstanden zijn hier een beetje buiten de competitie als je een printplaat probeert te ontwerpen.

does either have the capability to be a wifi extender or a repeater?
