    Windows API on Linux

    I agree with all you say - but it doesnt wash in a corporate environment. Lots of bespoke legacy client server apps with vb front ends etc, plus thousands of users who would need retraining. I also agree about WINE, especially now that Corel is pouring funds into the project, but there will...

    Windows API on Linux

    Check out a little israeli company called MainSoft (MS ..geddit?) who got lots of funding from *someone* in the states and moved their base there. They have a in perpetuity (yes as in for ever) license to the Windows API source code from uncle bill. Currently Solaris, SCO and Linux next year...

    Does anyone have a resource for hard drive sanitation tools. We are

    I made the assumption that the disks were to be de-classified, as you are going to re-use them on other classified projects you are quite right (assuming that US and UK secret squirrel rules are the same).<br> <br> I think your last point is correct, and the problem is that users like us are...

    Is there a way to disable a lan connection when dialing out w/a modem?

    Big problem.<br> <br> Anyone using a sniffer can detect stray packets from your network via the modem links. Thus any IP masquerading in the firewall is defeated and may enable an attack on the hosts table (and other attacks).<br> <br> Also they may download a trojan horse which will activate...

    NT Security Auditing

    What level of assurance are you aiming for?<br> <br> &quot;Secret&quot; has very little meaning unless you know all the other factors in the accounting and audit assrance calculation. e.g. environment, no of potential attackers, available facilities, opportunity, publicity and accountability.

    Does anyone have a resource for hard drive sanitation tools. We are

    <A HREF="http://www.itsec.gov.uk" TARGET="_new">www.itsec.gov.uk</A> has a listed of currently accredited products and their assurance level.<br> <br> I presume that this is for use on drives containing nothing higher than 'restricted' data as otherwise they should be destroyed by a GCHQ...

    Are 'locked' eide drives secure?

    Looking at the ata-3 spec there seems to be two obvious weaknesses:<br> 1. The security word of the BIOS is reaad-write and bit 1 indicates whether security is enabled - I suspect this could be changed with debug.<br> 2. There is a bios command to reset the drive to 'factory defaults' which is...

    Are 'locked' eide drives secure?

    The ata-3 eide hard drive specification allows you to set a password without which the disk is unaccessable. Does anyone know how secure this is? Is it sufficient protection for a notebook computer containing confidential personal data about customers (e.g. regulated by the data protection act...
