Security for Web Meetings?

1743 CommentsSecurity+for+Web+Meetings%3F2008-06-25+15%3A25%3A04Chris+Harrington

I am seeing an increased need and proliferation of web based collaboration tools. WebEx, GoToMeeting, MS LiveMeeting, etc. While these tools are necessary as we see people and organizations looking for collaboration, how secure are they? A couple concerns come to mind. NOTE: I have not done any research into this nor read much of [...]

I saw this today over at CrunchGear. A completely un-attended OSX Leopard upgrade. Yes, you probably can do this on Windows. I would imagine it would take a custom upgrade CD, RIS, or some other magic. Which is fine if you are an administrator on a corporate network. Home users are a different story, most [...]

Over the last few days I have come across some rather useful (to me anyway) Windows apps. Feel free to post anything you have found recently as well.

I found an extension for Firefox called TamperData. It allows you to view and modify HTTP requests. Useful for testing those home grown (or not so home grown) web apps. There are probably better tools for the job but this is a quick tool when you don’t want to pull out Spike Proxy or others. [...]

I have about 6 different email addresses that I use Outlook 2003 to manage. So far I have tried McAfee’s AntiSpam client, Spambayes and Norton’s as well. My personal opinion is that McAfee’s and Norton’s suck when it comes to their detection rate. Spambayes does a much better job but it’s system requirements bring Outlook [...]

For those who deploy Windows XP from CD you know what a pain it is to have to apply all the updates to a fresh install. Back a few years ago I used a technique called slipstreaming where you could create a WinXP install CD that had these updates already included. It was a bit [...]
