FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics
Mon, June 13 - Sat, June 18, 2016
This course was very high-quality training that provided exactly what was advertised!....Great BlackBerry lab. I have never dug this deep in a BlackBerry before.
Single best course I have taken. Course material laid out in a very logical way that made learning content very easy.
FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics will help you understand:
- Where key evidence is located on a smartphone
- How the data got onto the smartphone
- How to recover deleted mobile device data that most forensic tools miss
- How to decode evidence stored in third-party applications
- How to detect, decompile, and analyze mobile malware and spyware
- How to handle locked or encrypted devices, applications, and containers
A smartphone lands on your desk and you are tasked with determining if the user was at a specific location at a specific date and time. You rely on your forensic tools to dump and parse the data. The tools show location information tying the device to the place of interest. Are you ready to prove the user was at that location? Do you know how to take this further to place the subject at the location of interest at that specific date and time? Tread carefully, because the user may not have done what the tools are showing!
Mobile devices are often a key factor in criminal cases, intrusions, IP theft, security threats, and more. Understanding how to leverage the data from the device in a correct manner can make or break your case and your future as an expert. FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics will teach you those skills.
Every time the smartphone "thinks" or makes a suggestion, the data is saved. It's easy to get mixed up in what the forensic tools are reporting. Smartphone forensics is more than pressing the "find evidence" button and getting answers. Your team cannot afford to rely solely on the tools in your lab. You have to understand how to use them correctly to guide your investigation, instead of just letting the tool report what it believes happened on the device. It is impossible for commercial tools to parse everything from smartphones and understand how the data were put on the device. Examining and interpreting the data is your job, and this course will provide you and your organization with the capability to find and extract the correct evidence from smartphones with confidence.
This in-depth smartphone forensic course provides examiners and investigators with advanced skills to detect, decode, decrypt, and correctly interpret evidence recovered from mobile devices. The course features 17 hands-on labs that allow students to analyze different datasets from smart devices and leverage the best forensic tools and custom scripts to learn how smartphone data hide and can be easily misinterpreted by forensic tools. Each lab is designed to teach you a lesson that can be applied to other smartphones. You will gain experience with the different data formats on multiple platforms and learn how the data is stored and encoded on each type of smart device. The labs will open your eyes to what you are missing by relying 100% on your forensic tools.
FOR585 is continuously updated to keep up with the latest malware, smartphone operating systems, third-party applications, and encryption. This intensive six-day course offers the most unique and current instruction available, and it will arm you with mobile device forensic knowledge you can apply immediately to cases you're working on the day you leave the course.
Smartphone technologies are constantly changing, and most forensic professionals are unfamiliar with the data formats for each technology. Take your skills to the next level: it's time for the good guys to get smarter and for the bad guys to know that their texts and apps can and will be used against them!

Course Syllabus
FOR585.1: Smartphone Overview and Malware Forensics
Heather Mahalik
Mon Jun 13th, 2016
Focus: Although smartphone forensic concepts are similar to those of digital forensics, smartphone file system structures differ and require specialized decoding skills to interpret correctly the data acquired from the device. On this first course day, students will apply what they know to smartphone forensic handling, device capabilities, acquisition methods, and data encoding concepts of smartphone components. Students will also become familiar with the forensic tools required to complete comprehensive examinations of smartphone data structures. Malware affects a plethora of smartphone devices. This section will examine various types of malware, how it exists on smartphones, and how to identify and analyze it. Most commercial tools help you identify malware, but none of them will allow you to tear down the malware to the level we cover in class. Up to five labs will be conducted on this first day alone!
All examiners today have to address the existence of malware on smartphones. Often the only questions relating to an investigation may be whether a given smartphone was compromised, how, and what can be done to fix it. It is important for examiners to understand malware and how to identify its existence on the smartphone.
Smartphones will be introduced and categorized to set our expectations for what we can recover using digital forensic methodologies. We review the properties of Flash memory in mobile devices and demonstrate the pros and cons from a forensic perspective. We provide approaches for dealing with common challenges such as encryption, passwords, and damaged devices. Students will learn how to process and decode data on mobile devices from a forensic perspective, then learn tactics to recover information that even forensic tools may not always be able to retrieve.

Statements From Our Authors
"Digital forensic investigations almost always involve a smartphone or mobile device. Often, the smartphone is the only form of digital evidence relating to the investigation and is the most personal device a person owns! Let's be honest: how many people share their smartphones like they do computers? Not many. Knowing how to recover all of the data residing on the smartphone is now an expectation in our field, and examiners must understand the fundamentals of smartphone handling, data recovery, accessing locked devices, and manually recovering data hiding in the background on the device. FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics provides this required knowledge to beginners in mobile device forensics and to mobile device experts. This course has something to offer everyone! There is nothing out there that competes with this course." - Heather Mahalik
"One thing is clear no matter whether you work in law enforcement or the private sector: the importance of evidence obtained from smartphones and other mobile devices has become crucial to all kinds of investigations. Solid foundational knowledge, skills, and techniques in mobile device forensics are no longer optional. Developed by passionate practitioners with a high level of experience in the field, FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics provides the elements you need to succeed in your investigations and thrive in the rapidly changing mobile device forensics environment." - Cindy Murphy
"Eighty-five percent of the world's population today has a mobile phone. In the United States alone, almost half of these devices are smartphones. The tools and techniques for acquiring and analyzing these devices are changing every day. As the handsets become more sophisticated in the storage and obfuscation of personal user data, the tools and practitioners are in a race to uncover data related to investigations. The concepts covered in FOR585: Advanced Smartphone Forensics will not only highlight some of the best tools available for acquiring and analyzing the smart devices on the market today, they will also provide examiners with best practices and techniques for delving deeper into smart devices as new applications and challenges arise. FOR585 keeps students ahead of the curve!" - Domenica Crognale

BCCI hasnt paid players wages for 10 months
Remember the glorious night of NatWest final? Cricketers werent even paid for that
Navika Kumar
New Delhi, March 29: Everyone talks about the money Indian cricketers make but here is the other side of the story. Indias cricketing heroes have not been paid their salaries for the past 10 months.
The cash-rich Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) owes each player around Rs 1 crore (Rs 20 lakh to Rs 25 lakh each for the last five tours). The BCCI has held back payments to the overworked cricketers citing its own sponsorship problems.
The team is yet to be paid its tour fee for the England tour of four Tests, the NatWest Series of One-Day matches between June and September 2002, the ICC Champions Trophy in Sri Lanka in September, the West Indies tour of India consisting of three Test matches and seven ODIs in October-November 2002, the Indian tour of New Zealand with two Test matches and seven ODIs in December-January and the just-concluded World Cup.
When contacted, Kishore Rungta, treasurer of the BCCI, told The Sunday Express:The delay in payment to the players is actually an accounting delay. It is not a matter of public debate.
The official reason for the BCCIs failure to clear the dues is its own dispute with Trans World International (TWI). The BCCI is still awaiting the logo fees. The tour fee for players is around Rs 3 lakh to 4 lakh per player per tour, the real money comes from the logo fees that BCCI receives. We give 60 per cent of it to the players while retaining 40 per cent. This could work out to Rs 15 lakh to 20 lakh per player for each tour, Rungta explained on the phone from Jaipur.
Rungta said that it was during the Indian tour of England in June last year that the logo troubles hit BCCI. TWI was the agent for the Indian team, handling corporate sponsors. Some dues have to be paid by the Sahara Group which is why payments to players are stuck, Rungta said. He said that after the England tour, TWI pulled out and the team had no sponsor for the ICC Championship Trophy in September.
Dalmiya is personally handling this problem now. When the year-end pre-occupation in his own businesses is over on March 31, we hope to resolve the problems... by the second week of April, Rungta said.
Rungta also said that the BCCI was unable to make up its mind on whether to pay players in anticipation of the disputes being settled or wait for the money to physically be realised by the BCCI before it paid the team.
When contacted, TWI Joint Director Ravi Krishnan said: Im not aware of any such thing. I have no comment to make.
The players have decided to keep quiet about it. Rajiv Shukla, who handles the communications and coordination of the Indian team, too refused to comment on behalf of the players. But now, how can anyone complain when they pose for cola and bicycles?

Submitted to
The Honorable Christine Todd Whitman, Governor
And the New Jersey Legislature
October 2000Commission Home Page
The new economy that propels New Jersey and the nation at the dawn of the 21st century offers unprecedented opportunities, but capitalizing on those opportunities requires diligence and strategic investment. With the economy indisputably driven by knowledge, information, and technology, New Jersey's colleges and universities play a pivotal role in ensuring the state's economic prosperity and equitable opportunities for all of its citizens. In addition to developing the workforce and advancing research and development, higher education instills the civil and social values that will guide the next generation of leaders.
Widespread efforts to address educational needs from preschool to graduate school and beyond are already underway in the state. Two notable examples are the comprehensive efforts to meet the needs of children in the state's most disadvantaged school districts and the multifaceted program to address high-tech workforce and research and development needs. The state has made strategic, incremental investments in higher education over the past several years, increasing appropriations for student assistance, institutional operating aid, capital aid for physical plant and technology infrastructure, and support for targeted programs. Those investments are reaping dividends in the form of increased access to affordable higher education opportunities, improved educational programs, enhanced facilities and technology infrastructure, increased academic research capacity, and a well-prepared workforce and citizenry.
Given the key role higher education plays in preparing future citizens and leaders and sustaining the economy and well-being of the state, the return on investment in colleges and universities is high. The Commission on Higher Education encourages the state to make an increased commitment to higher education that will boldly address the challenges and opportunities of the future and allow New Jersey to play a leadership role in sustaining America's preeminence in the global economy. Recommendations are contained within this Budget Policy Statement. In addition, it is accompanied by a more detailed document that provides supporting data and rationale, demonstrating that higher education institutions are integral to enhancing the state's abundant human, geographical, commercial, and industrial assets and to passing our civilization on to the next generation.
The dynamic economy and global marketplace have significantly increased the demand for higher education and training at New Jersey's colleges and universities. As a result, the institutions are expanding their capacity, enhancing flexibility and responsiveness, and strengthening parity among all ethnic groups in respect to enrollment, academic performance, and graduation rates. The operating support from state and local governments provides the very foundation on which New Jersey's 31 public institutions exist and meet increasing demands; the state also provides financial support to the 14 independent institutions with a public mission.
Community Colleges: New Jersey's ongoing commitment to increase funding for its 19 community colleges is consistent with the state's long-range plan for higher education, which calls for a balanced funding partnership, with approximately one-third of operating revenues coming from the state, one-third from the counties, and one-third from students. While all students benefit from a balanced partnership, the greatest impact is on the state's most disadvantaged, low-income students. For them, access to higher education is particularly dependent on reasonable tuition and fee levels, which better enable students to complete their degrees expeditiously and to move into the workforce or to a four-year college.
As a result of annual state funding increases since FY 1999, average tuition increases at the two-year colleges have been minimal, and several institutions have frozen tuition. The state's share of operating costs increased from 24.8 percent in FY 1998 to 28 percent in FY 2000. The additional funding provided in the current year and in FY 2002 will continue to increase the state share. Support from counties varies considerably, with some paying well above one-third and some paying much less. However, the average percentage share for counties has decreased. While increased state funding is working to move the state toward a one-third share, achieving the desired partnership requires a commitment from all county governments to move toward a share of at least one-third of operating expenses as well.
Senior Public Institutions: Like the community colleges, the 12 senior public institutions play a major role in preparing residents for active citizenship and assuring New Jersey's economic well-being; their ability to meet the challenges of the future is tied directly to state support. To help keep baccalaureate education affordable, the state's long-range plan for higher education calls for a two-thirds state share of operating expenses at the senior public institutions, with the remaining one-third supported by students. The institutions have been responsive to the long-range plan's call for diligence in holding down costs, enhancing instructional productivity, and collaborating with their peers, as well as in raising external funds to assist in meeting some nonrecurring costs.
Preliminary figures for FY 2000 indicate the state's share of operating expenses was approximately 57 percent. Given increasing demands for higher education, New Jersey's commitment to access and affordability, and the economy's escalating dependence on knowledge and technology, it is time to take a bold step and significantly increase the state's share of operating costs for the senior public institutions. The state's investment in the community colleges has provided substantial benefits, and a similar investment in the four-year institutions is warranted. Specifically, the Commission recommends a 4 percent increase in operating aid and full support of salary program increases resulting from negotiated cost-of-living increases and contractual increments. Together, the increases for operating expenses and the salary program will amount to approximately 10 percent of the state's FY 2001 appropriation.
This additional funding will move the state closer to the desired two-thirds share of state support, reduce the need for tuition increases, and have a significant impact on the continued affordability, adequate capacity, and overall quality of the public four-year institutions. Restraint in tuition increases in this sector also will enhance access to higher education opportunities for citizens, reduce time to degree completion, and expedite entrance into the workforce.
Independent Institutions: In order to help maintain a strong sector of independent institutions that offers both access and choice, New Jersey's Independent College and University Assistance Act (ICUAA) provides state funding to the 14 independent institutions with a public mission. This support recognizes that 75 percent of the students at the independent colleges and universities are New Jersey residents. Like the public two- and four-year colleges, the independent institutions help fuel the economy and advance quality of life by preparing responsible citizens, leaders, and a labor force to meet the challenges of the future. The Commission recommends an increase of $3 million in FY 2002 to move toward full funding of the ICUAA, as called for in the long-range plan for higher education.
New Jersey is one of the most diverse states in the nation, and it has a longstanding commitment to state student assistance programs that keep higher education affordable and open the doors of knowledge and opportunity to all who can benefit. The state is ranked second in the nation in the percentage of full-time undergraduates receiving need-based grant aid and in need-based dollars per student; it is sixth in financial aid of any kind as a percentage of total state higher education funding.
Tuition Aid Grant program (TAG): The state's primary need-based aid is provided through TAG, which significantly reduces tuition costs for nearly one-third of all undergraduates attending public and independent colleges and universities in New Jersey. In FY 2002, increasing TAG to maximum current year tuition levels for full-time students will help ensure access and affordability and continue the state's longstanding commitment to need-based aid. In recent years, support has escalated for the idea of extending TAG to economically disadvantaged part-time students as well, without limiting funds for those who attend full-time. After discussing a recent study, the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority adopted a recommendation to establish a TAG program for part-time students. The Commission supports the Authority's recommended program and an appropriation of $9.8 to $11.0 million to support the part-time TAG program.
Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF): New Jersey's Educational Opportunity Fund enhances access to higher education for roughly 12,400 disadvantaged students each year with a unique combination of supplemental aid and student support services. Given the state's changing demographic profile and the challenges posed by our global, high-tech economy, EOF's continued success in helping students overcome financial and academic obstacles is critical.
The Commission recommends an increase of $1.5 million in Article IV funding for campus-based EOF student services. This is clearly a priority for FY 2002, recognizing that greater support for counseling, tutoring, academic, career exploration, prefreshman, and other EOF support services has a major impact on long-term student success. These programs have great potential to narrow the gap between transfer and graduation rates for low-income minority students and those who do not face educational or economic disadvantages. At the same time, while Article III academic year grants to students increased in FY 2001 (by $100 per student at public institutions and $200 for those at independent institutions), those students and families who face extraordinary costs relative to their incomes would benefit greatly from another increase in the Article III grants.
College Bound: New Jersey's College Bound Grant Program is highly effective in helping sixth- through twelfth-grade students in 15 Abbott school districts complete high school and pursue college-level studies in math, science, and technology. The Commission recommends a $2.1 million increase to improve services and expand programs to additional Abbott districts and students. This increased investment will enable College Bound to add up to six campus-based programs and expand the number of students served from 2,100 to approximately 3,300. It also will enable the programs to purchase the computer hardware and software needed to support high-quality precollege exposure and enrichment in math, science, and technology. In addition to these immediate benefits, increased support for College Bound also will enable the campus-based programs to leverage funding from other sources, such as the $10 million federal GEAR UP grant the Commission won last year.
Establishing and preserving a safe and adequate physical plant are critical to educating the populace, recruiting and retaining students, fostering research and development, and enhancing the overall quality of higher education. To meet the challenge of maintaining modern facilities and providing students with access to world-class instruction and technology, New Jersey currently supports six bond programs targeted to capital needs in higher education: Chapter 12 for community colleges, the Higher Education Facilities Trust Fund, the Equipment Leasing Fund, the Technology Infrastructure Fund, the Capital Improvement Fund to address deferred maintenance and renewal at the four-year institutions, and the newly created Dormitory Safety Trust Fund.
In addition, the state's support for ongoing capital renewal at the senior public colleges and universities protects state assets and is critical to providing safe, secure, and appropriate facilities. Each of the senior public institutions that is eligible for such aid submits detailed data regarding renewal needs, and the Commission urges that those needs be given due consideration. As a general principle, the Commission recommends that the state appropriate annually no less than 1 percent of the replacement value of the physical plants to assist these institutions and ensure preparedness to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
High-Tech Workforce Excellence Grants: Recognizing that knowledge is the principal engine of economic growth and societal well-being, many states have recently made significantly increased investments for excellence in higher education. Last year, New Jersey invested $15 million in the High-Tech Workforce Excellence Grant program. As a result, nine outstanding high-tech education projects received funds to create a pipeline of graduates to meet future workforce needs. At the same time, the top-quality technology-related programs will help to create, attract, and retain high-tech companies and jobs in New Jersey. The nine programs, ranging from sophisticated engineering and biomedical programs to improved training for math and science teachers, demonstrate the synergy that exists between higher education and New Jersey's high-tech workforce. An appropriation for a second round of grants in FY 2002 will further develop outstanding high-tech academic programs that are essential to meet the demands of New Jersey's highly competitive marketplace.
Teacher Preparation and Development: As states across the nation and the federal government place teacher quality at the top of the agenda, colleges and universities face an enormous challenge and responsibility. They must educate more teachers and ensure that teachers are prepared to effectively undertake their role as educators in a new economy that depends more than ever on knowledge and its application.
There is a significant demand for new teachers in New Jersey. There will be moderate enrollment increases, along with large-scale retirements and continuing resignations. In addition, New Jersey faces the need for large numbers of new teachers for three- and four-year-olds to meet the state's Supreme Court mandate growing out of the Abbott v. Burke decision. In fact, the effort to improve the quality of education in the state's most disadvantaged school districts will require more and better-prepared teachers in all grades in the Abbott districts. Like other states, New Jersey also faces pressures to decrease class sizes in the early grades.
A number of initiatives are already underway in New Jersey to improve teacher quality. The state must, nevertheless, make additional efforts to expand the capacity of colleges and universities to prepare high-quality teachers; expand the recruitment and retention of minority teachers; address the critical shortages in special education, preschool education, mathematics, and science; recruit and retain effective teachers in urban and rural areas; and raise the overall desirability of teaching as a profession. The Commission has been working with the Department of Education and college and university representatives to develop the following series of related initiatives to comprehensively address these teacher quality and shortage issues.
Much of the responsibility for improving the quality of the educators in our nation's schools depends heavily upon the strength and effectiveness of teacher preparation and development programs. Therefore, $10 million is recommended for a special teacher preparation and development initiative that assists the colleges and universities with teacher preparation programs to construct a comprehensive approach to change, with a focus on four primary goals:
1) Moving the education of teachers to the top of institutional agendas and articulating the centrality of teacher preparation to the roles and missions of institutions, with a focus on the role of arts and sciences faculty;
2) Increasing the state's capacity to produce highly effective teachers to fulfill ever- growing demands and shortages;
3) Improving teacher preparation and professional development in a manner that links knowledge and performance expectations for teachers with the content standards for P-12 students; and
4) Expanding collaborative efforts with P-12 schools in areas such as curriculum development, mentoring, induction, and professional development.
This initiative will strike at the very core of teacher quality by assisting the institutions in their move toward comprehensive program improvement and increased capacity to prepare highly effective educators. The Commission is developing specific criteria for distribution and use of the funds in consultation with the Department of Education and the institutions, and the Department will assist in reviewing institutional plans for use of the funds.
The Department is developing, in consultation with the Commission, two related initiatives. The first is a targeted effort to recruit highly qualified teacher candidates of color, as well as highly skilled candidates for science, mathematics, preschool, and special education to teach in disadvantaged school districts. The second is the establishment of Professional Development Academies at the state's six primary teacher education colleges and universities to provide programs to enhance the quality and retention of current teachers.
These targeted efforts to improve the capacity and quality of teacher preparation and professional development programs have the potential to significantly advance school reform efforts. They will positively impact schools statewide and play a particularly important role in the effort to provide parity in the state's Abbott school districts. High-quality educators are among the state's most precious resources, and the investment in these initiatives will reap significant returns.
Research and development is critical to the nation's economic competitiveness in the 21st century, and academic research plays a major role. It is instrumental in creating new businesses and jobs, spawning new industries, advancing medicine and health care, and improving productivity in the state. In fact, relatively small state investments in university research infrastructure have produced highly leveraged returns in external support dollars. Between 1987 and 1997, the state's universities collectively increased their research expenditures by well over one-fourth, spending approximately $369 million in 1997. However, New Jersey institutions continue to be below the national average in research funding from the federal government, and they lag in industry support as well.
In FY 2001 the state appropriated $10 million to increase university research capacity and provide matching state dollars for federal grants. The Commission recommends continuing this strategic investment to increase federal and corporate dollars flowing to New Jersey's research universities.
Clearly, the 21st century holds both daunting challenges and exceptional promise for the state and the nation. Increasing state spending in FY 2002 for operating aid, student assistance and support programs, and campus infrastructure and high-tech equipment will directly benefit New Jersey's economy and its quality of life. At the same time, new commitments to improve teacher preparation and professional development and expand our high-tech workforce will create a pipeline of individuals with the skills and knowledge to lead our state into an increasingly complex and competitive future. Continued support is also necessary for the other ongoing state-supported programs that help keep higher education accessible, affordable, and of high quality for all New Jerseyans. Together they will ensure the state's economic prosperity and equitable opportunities for all of its citizens.

Week 45: Firewall security tips
When your organization's networks are connected to the Internet without adequate security measures, you are vulnerable to attack.
When vulnerabilities are identified that apply to your system and whenever patches and upgrades are applied. Examine your guidance policies at least annually.
When your organization's networks are connected to the Internet without adequate security measures, you are vulnerable to attack.
In the limited space available here, I cannot possibly address how to secure a firewall. Instead, I'll note the considerations that go into doing so and point you to some useful resources. CNSS Instruction No. 4009, revised May 2003, National Information Assurance (IA) Glossary defines a firewall as a "system designed to defend against unauthorized access to or from a private network." I prefer CERT's definition: "A combination of hardware and software used to implement a security policy governing the network traffic between two or more networks, some of which may be under your administrative control (e.g., your organization's networks) and some of which may be out of your control (e.g., the Internet)."
A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a combination of firewalls -- a perimeter network segment logically between internal and external networks. Also called a "screened subnet," its purpose is to enforce the internal network's IA policy for external information exchange and to provide external, untrusted sources with restricted access to releasable information while shielding internal networks from outside attacks. In some circles the DMZ is considered a part of the firewall, while other circles consider the DMZ the land of the sacrificial hosts. One way to think of a DMZ is as a group of hosts that are guided by a unique security policy. This policy balances some of the strictest controls against public access and availability requirements.
When putting in a firewall, CERT recommends a four-part approach: prepare, configure, test and deploy. To prepare, design the firewall system and have a written firewall security policy for each one that identifies who is allowed to log in to it, configure and update it. It should also outline the logging and management practices. The next step is critical: configure. Here you will acquire the firewall hardware and software; acquire the documentation, training and support; install the firewall hardware and software; configure IP routing, packet filtering, and logging and alert mechanisms. DISA's Network Infrastructure Security Checklist, Version 5 release 2.2, is a combination of minimum security requirements and best practices designed to ensure a system is locked down as much as possible while still being useful. The Checklist requires, for example, that firewalls placed in the network infrastructure are only those having a Common Criteria (CC) Protection Profile evaluation of EAL4 or greater. Check out the CC Protection Profile evaluation product ratings. The Network Infrastructure Security Checklist discusses, among other things, which features of Cisco's IOS and Juniper's JUNOS systems should be present or absent for a more secure network setup. Next, test the firewall and deploy the system into operation. Considerations to fold into your planning and configuration include proxies, stateful inspection or dynamic packet filtering, network address translation, virtual private networks, IPv6 or other non-IP v4 protocols, network and host intrusion detection and prevention technologies, routing and route management, switching and virtual local area networks, and encryption technologies
More information
Helpful checklists can be found at the NIST Web page. A nifty feature of this page is a sign-up for e-mail notifications when a checklist or implementation guide has been updated. And William R Cheswick & Steven M Bellovin's "Firewalls and Internet Security" will help you appreciate how far we've come and yet how little we've accomplished in firewall technology and practices in 10 years.

x2. Some dogs do need to urinate more frequently than others. No two dogs are exactly the same, just like people. However if the antibiotics seemed to help, I would agree there is a good chance of a URI. So it may not even be an issue anymore. Hope you get the results you are waiting for soon!

An M4 GTS for even sticker is too much money but for around half the price with a few thousand miles? Now that's a good buy.
Props to this gentlemen and Carmax for not knowing what an M4 GTS is and not gouging.

The people have spoken.
After weeks of voting, Sheriff Andy Taylor of "The Andy Griffith Show" has been declared the best television dad of all time.
Taylor took out a tough competitor in Charles Ingalls of "Little House on the Prairie" after sailing through earlier rounds of the competition.

Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Andy Griffith portrayed the wisdom-doling Andy Taylor from 1960-1968. He must have done something right. His on-screen son Opie, portrayed by Ron Howard, became an Oscar-winning director in real life.
Griffith died in 2012. In a 2007 interview with The Associated Press, Griffith acknowledged he wasn't as wise as the sheriff, or as affable.
"But I guess you could say I created Andy Taylor," he said. "Andy Taylor's the best part of my mind. The best part of me," he told the Associated Press.
Here's wishing all the Andy Taylors a Happy Father's Day.

Does anyone know anything about this cooler ? We found it in a shed after a cousin passed. I am pretty sure it is original. I am guessing it is from the 50s. One of the latches is missing and it has a little rust around the bottom.

The Female John Mayer
Sienna Miller at LAX yesterday after 2 weeks of loved up scandalous Hollywood goodness with Balthazar Getty. Looks like someone has to get back to work.
At the airport, she was met by the paps, intent of course on provoking a reaction to the question: why are you a homewrecker?
You'll recall, Sienna and her mother and all her friends are desperately trying to convince you that she isn't. That Balty's marriage was way over before she moved in. Which actually might be the truth. Very possible. But no one wants to cross Rosetta Getty. So Sienna Miller is public enemy #1. And… deservedly so.
Check out this video as she tries to make her way to the gate. See how she can't help herself? See how she has to answer the question? See how she can't just bury her head down and keep walking?
This is the Sienna I know and love from Burger King. She lives for this sh*t. She feeds off every minute of it.
She is John Mayer with a bush.

The two treatments that were tested - artificial insemination and the drug clomid - were found to have a minor success rate (14% for clomid and 23% for insemination) which is not much greater than the success rate of women with unexplained infertility who don't use fertility treatments. While researchers point out that clomid is useful for women who have problems with ovulation, and both treatments reassure infertile women trying to get pregnant, the cost and risk of the treatments can be damaging to the patients.

Symphony No. 4 (Mendelssohn)
|Symphony No. 4 in A major
|by Felix Mendelssohn
Drawing of the composer by Eduard Bendemann, 1833
|A major
|Op. 90
|1833, revised 1834
|13 May 1833
The Symphony No. 4 in A major, Op. 90, commonly known as the Italian,[1] is an orchestral symphony written by German composer Felix Mendelssohn.
The work has its origins (as had the composer's Scottish 3rd Symphony and The Hebrides overture) in the tour of Europe which occupied Mendelssohn from 1829 to 1831. Its inspiration is the colour and atmosphere of Italy, where Mendelssohn made sketches but left the work incomplete:
This is Italy! And now has begun what I have always thought... to be the supreme joy in life. And I am loving it. Today was so rich that now, in the evening, I must collect myself a little, and so I am writing to you to thank you, dear parents, for having given me all this happiness.[2]
In February he wrote from Rome to his sister Fanny,
The Italian symphony is making great progress. It will be the jolliest piece I have ever done, especially the last movement. I have not found anything for the slow movement yet, and I think that I will save that for Naples.
The Italian Symphony was finished in Berlin on 13 March 1833, in response to an invitation for a symphony from the London (now Royal) Philharmonic Society; he conducted the first performance himself in London on 13 May 1833 at a London Philharmonic Society concert. The symphony's success, and Mendelssohn's popularity, influenced the course of British music for the rest of the century.[3] The Germania Musical Society of Boston gave the first performance in the United States, on 1 November 1851, with Carl Bergmann conducting.[4]
Mendelssohn himself, however, remained dissatisfied with the composition, which cost him, he said, some of the bitterest moments of his career; he revised it in 1834[5] and even planned to write alternative versions of the second, third, and fourth movements. He never published the symphony, and it appeared in print only in 1851;[6] thus it is numbered as his "Symphony No. 4", even though it was in fact the third he composed.
The symphony is scored for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, timpani and strings. It is in four movements:
- Allegro vivace (A major)
- Andante con moto (D minor)
- Con moto moderato (A major)
- Presto and Finale: Saltarello (A minor)
The joyful first movement, in sonata form, is followed by an impression in the subdominant minor of D minor of a religious procession the composer witnessed in Naples. The third movement is a minuet in which French horns are introduced in the trio, while the final movement (which is in the minor key throughout) incorporates dance figurations from the Roman saltarello and the Neapolitan tarantella. It is among the first large multi-movement works to begin in a major key and end in the tonic minor, another example being Brahms's first piano trio.
A typical performance lasts about half an hour.

The courtroom at the International Court of Justice in The Hague in the Netherlands is a long way from the Antarctic. It is a beautiful room with enormous stained glass windows, twelve feet up from the floor, but this is where the future of the Antarctic whales will be decided in front of a long row of 16 judges in black robes and white scarves.
After repeated requests from the world community, the International Whaling Commission (IWC) agreed to a moratorium on commercial whaling that came into effect in 1986.
Despite this international whaling moratorium Japan continues to catch these amazing marine mammals in the Antarctic in the name of scientific research but all necessary research on these whales can be done by non-lethal means.
The meat from the hunts is largely going into storage because demand for whale meat has plunged to record lows; the industry has two years worth of frozen whale meat in storage that it is struggling to sell.
Already on the first day this was shaping up as a conflict over basic principles, not just lawyers arguing over words. Australia has framed the issue as one of stasis vs. change. Does the IWC remain locked to an exact reading of what was written in 1946 or does it adapt and change with the times, adopting modern interpretations of old words?
Australia has done its homework on this case and is taking the line that if you allow Japan's interpretation of Article 8 – which is a rule written in 1946 which allows any member to catch as many whales as it sees fit as long as they are caught for scientific purposes – then regulation of whaling becomes impossible. They pointed out that if every IWC member allocated itself an Article 8 quota the same size as Japan's that would mean a take of over 80,000 minke whales a year. I wish I'd thought of that.
This hearing started on Wednesday and will go on for 3 weeks and the judgment is not expected until the end of the year. It's hard to predict how it will come out. Japan might lose, it might win or the court might order Japan to limit its program in some way but not to end it. But Australia has made a strong start. At the end of the day my colleague who is a legal expert, said to me: 'I think Australia will win.' I hope she is right. TO BE CONTINUED...

Thank you John for the update. I certainly hope your friend is correct and Australia wins this legal battle.
I live in Australia and truly hope that the ICJ hearing exposes to the ENTIRE world the horror that is Japanese whaling .
My question is: if Japan has such a bag log( 2 years worth) of the it seems, unpopular , whale meat, why do the want more?
Best wishes.

Create certificate from CSR on a Microsoft Certificate Authority using command line
I use a maximum of one Google Ad per post to help offset some of my blog hosting costs.
Do you have a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from a device with which you need to create a certificate from a Microsoft Windows Certificate Authority? This is actually pretty straight forward. On a domain machine, launch a command prompt and save the CSR into a file on that machine (CSR.REQ in the example below). Then just use the command:
certreq -submit -attrib "CertificateTemplate:WebServer" CSR.req cert.cer
You'll get a prompt to select the issuing CA you want to use. Substitute WebServer for whichever template you need to use. You then have your certificate – cert.cer.

"For the first time, Make forecasts the majority of new wind capacity in the Americas occurring outside of the US market," says the consultancy in a summary of its inaugural Americas Wind Power Outlook Report.
Make expects the Americas to add nearly 92GW of new wind power capacity from 2013 to 2020, but the rate of growth will be dramatically different between North America and Latin America.
Enough demand exists in North America to support an average build of more than 6GW per year, while Latin America will see a 20% compounded annual growth rate. "Opportunities in Latin America abound as market potential has yet to be fully realised, and only recently have regulatory frameworks been executed to spur growth in renewable energy.
Unlike in North America, the emerging economies of Latin America and associated macroeconomic conditions support higher electricity consumption that creates opportunities for wind power development," the report says.
