starship_troopers Posted July 8, 2007 CID Share Posted July 8, 2007 good idea, this will at least help filter out some of the topics that are about this if it all ends up in one section.

Roco Posted July 9, 2007 CID Share Posted July 9, 2007 but isn't revoking the direct debit just as easy? Yeah, only 3 visits to the bank , many phone calls , The bank staff sugested I had bought the phone and then forgot about it , and it has only taken 3 months to get the money back , still the upside is whenever I visit the bank the staff huddle behind the secureity screen , and remember my name Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/19411-new-board-about-pc-security-has-been-created-give-us-your-input/#findComment-229311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted July 9, 2007 CID Share Posted July 9, 2007 i miss the ease of direct debts and transfers in europe though the way it is done in the states is archaic. people even still use cheques to pay in stores sometimes. i remember 10 years or so ago when my bank told me to use up the last of my eurocheques since they were being phased out.

Le_Murphant Posted July 14, 2007 CID Share Posted July 14, 2007 I think that the new section's a good idea, but it seems to have disrupted the link to "off topic discussion" See this link http://www.testmy.net/t-20195 Or maybe Momma T just typed the wrong link Anyways, I think it would be nice to have a Vista sub-section in the Help section too.

Le_Murphant Posted July 14, 2007 CID Share Posted July 14, 2007 when I click on the "off topic discussion" link, I get the "PC security" page. And yes it's still the case, but the horror movie link works properly. Then again you might just have forgotten to correct it. The link does go to b-138 indeed.

Le_Murphant Posted July 14, 2007 CID Share Posted July 14, 2007 Huh, that's weird, when I hover my pointer over the "Off Topic Discussion" link the bottom left space of my browser indicates http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?board=138 It might be only a "problem" on my computer but I'm baffled as to what causes it. I'l try when I get access to another computer.

resopalrabotnick Posted July 18, 2007 CID Share Posted July 18, 2007 on that ,dont ever ignore that gut feeling , that odd 6th sense , (it saved my life once , literaly ) OK, back on topic Wireless conections, how safe ? and the differance between WEP and WPA ? wep uses an up to 128 bit key for the transfer of information. it can be brute forced fairly quickly. wpa uses a passphrase to set up a connection and then a key generated from that key for each transmission for each transmission.(it's a lot more complicated, but that's it in a nutshell) since it recalculates new keys so much it is slower than wep, it is not actually certified for WiFi because of that, but it is a lot more difficult to break. one has to interrupt the connection then be able to listen in on the connection being rebuilt to be able to draw conclusions about the initial key. and all this multiple times. then one can try to force a disconnect again and log on to the net as the connections are rebuilt. if you can use wpa or even better wpa2 if the last ounce of speed isn;t an issue.
