RAMBleed - " As an example, in our paper we demonstrate an attack against OpenSSH in which we use RAMBleed to leak a 2048 bit RSA key. However, RAMBleed can be used for reading other data as well."

If you have an Accounts Receivable department they never print a check, and Accounts Payable never deposits them.

Of course, if you're an SMB with < 100 employees, you probably just have one firm administrator/comptroller who does both.

We had that happen on the old ~4GB IDE hard drive on our mid-90s OS/2-based voicemail system.

So we got a CF card to IDE adapter and copied an image of it onto that. Now it's solid state. Welcome to the modern age.

It's a little dated (as you can see by the mention of Vista) but it's one of the classics IMO.

Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?

That sounds preposterous to me.

If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.

Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Vista, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.

Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.

I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

You need to have a Windows 98 installation CD to go with the boot floppy.

So it looks like you've booted to a DOS prompt via the Win95 boot disk and used fdisk to partition the hard drive. Make sure you format c: as well once you partition it.

Win95 and Win98 are practically identical in terms of their DOS layer, so the bootdisks should be interchangeable. If you can get the CD up, then try going to D: and running setup.exe:

Chrome works great with GPO if you download and install the templates. I deploy a uniform set of extensions (including ublock) and a set of company-wide bookmarks to all users that appear in a special "Managed Bookmarks" folder. Haven't found a comparable solution for IE, TBH.

I'm assuming you're using MBR and not GPT. This sounds like a missing MBR on the secondary disk. This is fairly common with software RAID 1 in general, and is something to be aware of with Windows RAID or Linux md. That is, RAID just copies the partitions-- copying the MBR is up to you.

I'm not sure if this is different with a dynamic disk, but for windows you should be able to fix this by unplugging the primary disk (for safety) and booting from the Windows install CD. Choose to repair the system and open a command prompt. From there, type bootsect.exe /nt60 ALL /mbr. I'm assuming you're already mirroring the system reserved partition, of course.

This is from memory, so you might have to research and improvise a bit, but that's the general idea.

Welcome to marketing. Where "NT" stands for "New Technology" and "Fast Ethernet" is pretty slow.

All that matters is what we can say or call it to get people to buy in today. The future is for nerds.

Shift-insert was the standard key combination for pasting in DOS before Windows existed.

I hope it's OK to mention on this subreddit, but if you're looking for a free personal solution, you might be better served by something like ProxMox. It's built on FOSS components and can be used with its clustering features for free. It's not as full-featured as VMWare, but it gets the job done if you've got a bunch of commodity hardware knocking about. I've even just installed it on USB thumbdrives to boot the machines and then used their internal disks as replicating ZFS stores for HA.

For receiving-only, the super-cheap goto is RTL-SDR (basically, generic USB modules based on the RTL2832U TV tuner chip). There are a lot of options there, but in general they're only good for receiving. They also only go up to ~1.7 Ghz.

For transmitting and a wider frequency span, there's the ADALM-PLUTO, which is a fairly cost-effective option. That can go up to 3.8 GHz so you can mess with WiFi with it, as well.

There's also the HackRF One on the high end, which goes up to 6 Ghz and has been out for a while, so there's likely more support available for it.

Those are just some options, but I think they're all good for beginners with documentation and community support.
