billwolfe - Sun, 2006-10-01 21:38

Today, this page is just a place to collect links + references usefull to creating video recordings of what happens on the screen of a demo. If we get it together this page will become the How To for the best + simplest methods.

Back last winter there was some discussion about making recordings of talks + demos, like the Hants LUG regularly do.

OSS Software to record screen activity http://camstudio.org/ sorry, this is windows only.

Camtasia from Techsmith - similar commercially available software.

Saving MBR

Anonymous (not verified) - Sun, 2006-08-06 12:58

1. Get a rescue disk. The Dapper CD should be ok for this, so long as it boots on your laptop (presumably it does) and you can get to a useful shell or the desktop.

2. Backup the MBR:

dd if=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 of=/tmp/mbr.img

Save /tmp/mbr.img somewhere safe, maybe a Flash drive?, and then you can restore it with:

Identifying a Windows Virus with Trend Micro House Call

PaulStimpson - Mon, 2006-07-03 21:06

Started by PaulStimpson

If you want to check files or directories for a Windows virus before passing it on to a Windows user you can do it online with the Java app at Trend Micro HouseCall.

I can also recommend Virus Total http://www.virustotal.com/en/indexf.html, which scans an executable through a dozen different vendor AV products.

Sender Policy Framework (SPF)

Anonymous (not verified) - Mon, 2006-07-03 20:49

SPF - Sender Policy Framework

What is it?

Sender Policy Framework. Anti-spam technique based on verifying the source of an email.

How does it work?

You create a list of all the mail servers that are allowed to send mail for your domain, and add it as a dns txt record. For example: 
 gmx.net.        300   IN   TXT   "v=spf1 ip4:213.165.64.0/23 -all"

VMware Player and Server

Proprietary but "free of charge" (NOT floss) virtualisation software from VMware

(If you want a floss virtualiser try VirtualBox instead)

 

VMware Player 3.x

Try VMware player FIRST ! Its a simple "one-click" .BUNDLE install on almost any distro variant !

Verdsion 2.x works on PIIIs and Version 3 requires a P4 with PAE but now lets you create VMs from scratch as well as running pre-built ones !
