Using Mondorescue to P2V old versions of Linux - Part 1 Backup and Recovery to same host
We have recently had a situation where a client had a number of very very old linux boxes. Some of these servers were pushing 10 years old
A lot of these systems are only online for historical or political reasons so the quickest (not necessarily the best) way to reduce the hardware risk was to P2V them. As we were already using Mondo to back these up its fairly straightforward to use Mondo as a P2v Tool.
NB These are fairly rough and ready articles and there will be one for each version on linux we used.
There is a government deparment that treats security seriously ...
I have worked in/with state government clients in most states of Australia , as well as some federal areas and it has always been challenging to find an internal security team that is not either a token effort, or has a poor attitude, or has poor business support. Having recently completed an audit for a state govt agency I have now found one team with an excellent attitude, internal business support, good levels of process and are actually adding value to the business.
All we need to do now is replicate/clone them into other departments.
iPhones and Exchange server
We are now up to our third site where iPhone's seem to be very capable of putting an Exchange 2003 or 2007 server into a denial of service state.
The most recent being an Exchange 2003 setup with less than 5 iPhones connected to it at any one point.
This is a site of approximately 200 users and the Exchange server has been in a for a few years without issue.
The IIS logs are showing approximately 150,000 plus hits per hour, 2500 hits per minute or 40 hits per second.
The size of the IIS logs are pushing 200MB per day.
