September 05, 2003What's in my Information Security Toolkit?I have received a few emails of late from people asking which tools I would recommend for them to use as part of their information security toolkit. I have also been asked what tools to learn first. Well, instead of recommending individual tools that I use, I would highly recommend that you instead grab the Knoppix STD (Security Tools Distribution). It basically has everything that you would want, and can be carried almost anywhere. I have used it for a while now along side my other stuff, and it works great. As to what to learn first, that will be uniquely different in individual environments. As I have no clue what your background is, I can't tell you where to start. For a moment, let us assume you understand your network, servers of all types (Windows and Unix) and TCP/IP. In that case, I would recommend you becoming intimately familar with the following (which are in alphabetical order so not to show my favoritism): Guess what? All these are available on the Knoppix STD CD in one form or another, along with lots of other tools you should learn! Give it a try. You might like it.

Win XP Pro Is there a way to disable the button that allows a user to rename his/or computer. I have several users that continue to dis-join themself from the domian and would like a reg hack that would grey this box out once the computer has been installed and joned to the domain. "if you right click my computer-> then properties-> computer name tab-> the change button that appears in this dialog box is what I would like to disable thanks for your help....
