...Apparently many designers and developers believe secure passwords have to look complicated, even these days. The most secure ones seem to be „ #sK8/a_C%eD8)“. This looks like hell and is a mess to create. How would you explain your user, the password has to have a length of at least 8 characters, 2 characters have to be uppercase, 2 have to be special characters and of course numbers are a must? Would you like to create such a password? I wouldn’t. Instead I would probably risk it to write down this password on a note or use the same password several times. Maybe I would use a password manager. Nothing is a really great idea. Such complex requirements for passwords are a huge problem for privacy and IT security. But we need these passwords! At least this is, what passwordsgenerater.net wants to tell us. NO! We don’t need overly complicated passwords. This claim is idiocy. I don’t have any idea who invented this legend, but this person has to hate us. So much websites, apps and whatever demand us to use such passwords without any logical reason. If the safety of passwords relied on the number of different characters, how can our iPhone be safely protected by a 6-figure passcode? This is just 1,000,000 possible combinations. They did something, at least theoretically, pretty easy. The „Secure Enclave Processor“ (a pretty cool piece of hardware) restrict how often you can enter a wrong passcode. Furthermore they do one more thing: they set a hardware delay between the inputs...

...Lopayi Wani 06/23/15 NT2670 Email and Web Services Unit 1 Assignment 1: Installing Server Roles with a Batch File Assignment: After careful consideration, it was decided by the corporate IT team that in order to increase security and lower your attack surface, Windows 2008 Server Core would be installed on a group of your servers. However, a few roles need to be installed on the server and your Senior Administrator is not familiar with installing roles on a Server Core machine. Using Internet research and use notepad to create a batch file to install the following roles: DHCP, DNS, Print Services and Hyper-V. Students will complete a notepad file that will successfully install all of the roles mentioned. Save the file using the name Roles.bat. 1. DHCP: start /w ocsetup dhcpservercore. 2. DNS: start /w ocsetup DNS-Server-Core-Role 3. PRINT: start /ocsetup Printing_ServerCore-Role. 4. SERVICES: start /w ocsetup MediaServer, 5. HYPER- Start /ocsetup Microsoft-Hyper-V. Questions 1. What does the /w switch do? Why is it used? Specifies the warning level, an integer in the range 0 through 4. There is no space between the /W switch and the digit indicating the warning-level value. 2. What switch is used to remove a role? To remove a role you would need to commas to separate command names. 3. What is the command to start the DHCP Server service? To open DHCP, click Start, click Settings, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative...

...Unit 7 Assignment 1 – Designing an Exchange Server (Portfolio) The first lesson that was given in this course NT2670 the more roles the server has the greater the physical it requires. The fact that a server is already using roles such with email server would require a lot. Especially over 1000 clients would require a lot of power with no minimum cut-off of system requirements. At least at the very least it should have 2 cores, but 4 cores is becoming standard, and I would choose 4 cores, it is also cost effective. Also building an Exchange Server 2007 I would pick a server with mid level capabilities in which it can handle at least 17 roles. However there will need to be at least 7-8 roles that need to be installed in Exchange Server 2007. To increase speed in the network I would choose the Thecus N5550 Enterprise Tower NAS server – Intel Atom Processor, 2 GB DDR3, RAID 0/1/5/6/10, 2x RJ-45, 1x USB 3.0, 1x HDMI, No OS. The cost for two of these severs are $419 2x which come to around $900 plus tax, to have the capabilities a business needs to be running with room to expand. Given that the minimum requirement for Windows Server 2008 requires 2 cores and 4 gigabytes of ram this is more than enough for Exchange 2007. The network requires 1000 emails to be managed, CAS, Hub Transport, and UM roles. This will only require RAID 5 setup because of the Client Access Server, all exchange server need to fast transfer rates and fault tolerance and the Thecus N5550 is more than up...

...04/16/14 NT2670, Email and Web Unit 4 Assignment: SMTP Security 1. List and describe three SMTP server security threats? a. Viruses can erase files, cause computer crashes and destroy information or get information. b. Spam email is a term used to describe messages sent in bulk or incoming emails that are received without consent. c. Directory harvest attacks (DHAs) is an attempt to determine the valid e-mail addresses associated with an e-mail server so that they can be added to a spam database. 2. List three suggestions to harden SMTP server security? a. “Disable open relaying on all SMTP virtual servers: Open relay on your Exchange Server allows other Email servers to use your server as a gateway to others. This allows others to send spam Email which appears to be originated from your address, therefore you will be identified as a spam source.” (Ehamouda, 2009) b. “Prevent anonymous access on internal SMTP virtual servers and dedicated SMTP virtual servers for IMAP and POP clients: Because all Exchange servers within your organization authenticate with each other to send mail, you do not need to enable anonymous access on your internal Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) virtual servers. Additionally, all Post Office Protocol (POP) and Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) clients authenticate with your SMTP virtual server, so anonymous access is not required on a server that is used exclusively by POP and IMAP clients.” (Ehamouda, 2009) c. “Restricting Submissions...

...Unit 3 Assignment 1 Choosing Port Scanning Software NT2670, James Fairchild 1. What is Port Scanning? Is a software application designed to probe a server or host for open ports. This is often used by administrators to verify security policies of their networks and by attackers to identify running services on a host with the view to compromise it. 2. What is the goal of Port Scanning? The results of a scan on a port is usually generalized into one of three categories, Open or accepted: The host sent a reply indicating that a service is listening on the port. Closed or denied or not listening: the host sent a reply indicating that connections will be denied to a port. Filtered, dropped or blocked no reply from the host. Open ports present two vulnerabilities of which administrators must be wary, Security and stability concerns associated with the programs responsible for delivering the service- open ports. Security and stability concerns associated with the operating system that is running on the host. Open or closed ports. 3. Would you prefer an open source or proprietary port scanning software? Depending on who you ask? Many people in business prefer to use proprietary software instead of open source software, due to the misconception that proprietary software is better supported than open source. After several years of supporting both open source and proprietary software it becomes clearly evident that just because you pay for proprietary software does not mean...
