Or if the government tries to secure it with the lowest bidders....

That's not trying, that's handballing (reference) in attempt to avoid responsibility... aka passing the buck.

On the Ubuntu Linux family, for instance, you can fix it with the following steps:

Open /etc/sysctl.conf, with an editor, such as vim. Enter the line: net.ipv4.tcp_challenge_ack_limit = 999999999 Save the file. Use the shell command "sysctl -p" to update the configuration.

WHile I asked, I also searched:

Reset Windows using Linux Mint

You can use Linux live CD and a program named chntpw will do the rest. You don’t have to install that OS to your hard drive. I am showing you how to do it using Linux Mint. Visit Linux Mint website and download ISO. Burn it to a disc and boot up your computer using that bootable disc. Go to Menu>Accessories>Terminal. Type sudo apt-get update. Press Enter. Type sudo apt-get install chntpw. Press Enter and keep that terminal open. From desktop go to Computer and then just open the drive where Windows is loaded. It will mount that drive. In the terminal type cat /proc/mounts. Hit Enter. It will give output like /dev/sda1 /media/CA123DD456EA6512. This long serial no will vary in your case. Change it accordingly in next command. Type cd /media/ CA123DD456EA6512. Hit Enter. Type cd Windows/System32/config/ and Press Enter. Type sudo chntpw SAM and Press Enter. You will get a menu with all users of the system. Default is Administrator. Type 1 and press Enter to clear user password. If you need to reset password for a specific user, type sudo chntpw -u username SAM and follow previous instructions. Close everything and reboot system.

I was going to suggest the chntpw. As far as I know that's compatible up to Windows 8.1... Never had to use it on Win10 yet.

@scottalanmiller Nothing stands out between them?

ioSafe uses Synology under the hood. So no. LOL

So it's like HP vs. Canon. Got it.

I used to live on campus at CM with @AndyW

@Lakshmana Any good suggestions so for ???

oh okay! thanks guys. @Mike-Davis @gjacobse @dafyre

Interesting to note that people compared it a bit to the TeamViewer breach, but it was quickly pointed out that, while a PR disaster, TeamViewer did not actually have a breach.

I wonder if that is what the final verdict was.

And VMware marketing in 3...2....1....

I have seen the video previously. Hilarious, watching it again now haha.

I wonder if that would be useful for @Lakshmana

@RamblingBiped Hope this is the solution. I unfortunately have Cisco CM and its my first time managing VoIP

So sorry.

Complication for the sake of complication

And spending money for the sake of throwing away profits 😉

Only the other night for me and it was all on one project so I'm not sure what it was, yet.

@scottalanmiller Thanks. I got it. I overthink everything. 🙂

@scottalanmiller said in Reset Admin Password on FreePBX from the Command Line:

mysql -D asterisk -e "UPDATE ampusers SET password_sha1='e1edd0771b6345f00b5557b98b2bde8fd66744c5' WHERE username='admin'"

Why on earth do you give an instruction with a hash in it?

Why not use the MySQL SHA1() function?

mysql -D asterisk -e "UPDATE ampusers SET password_sha1=SHA1('CHANGEME') WHERE username='admin'"

@Mike-Davis said in ubnt guest wireless or separate VLAN?:

My understanding of how Ubiquiti handles guest mode is that it drops packets destined for internal networks. What I don't know is like I think some others were getting at - what if the user tries to go to another local subnet outside the subnet their on. I guess I'll just keep the VLAN thing.

My understanding is that it totally drops those packets too. In some ways, that makes it more secure than a VLAN because just hijacking a physical switch is not enough to grab the packets.

Our Plan:

Let you all know immediately. Honesty and transparency is something we have tried to really keep, well.... transparent here on ML.

FTFY.
