A hectic schedule and general lack of manpower has kept me from updating this as often as i’d like.

Instead of a spare time sort of hobby project, this got shuffled around behind the scenes, and gave birth to another project.  We are starting an actual company to offer our services, although this website may undergo some alterations in order to feed off of that.  I believe this will become a sort of voice of the company into the general populace of the security focused individuals on the web.

More will be announced soon, the company we are starting will be primarily focused on data recovery, network penetration/vulnerability scanning, and forensics to a degree.  However, we will also offer the usual services you might find at Geek Squad or what not, just on more of a footnote basis.  The primary focus will be providing businesses enterprise solutions for the aforementioned.

The website is http://www.digifixsolutions.com and will serve as our banner to the world.  Advertising will ramp up in the real world, with some being devoted to online solutions.  Hopefully we will be successfull in our endeavour.

I was cleaning up my office, and I came across a piece of paper that had 8 Commandments of Network Security on it.  I’m not sure where it came from, but I like the list so here it is:

Thou shalt use strong passwords and change the default passwords that come with any program.

Thou shalt use up-to-date anti-virus software on all computers.

Thou shalt change the default configurations of newly installed operating systems and applications.

Thou shalt not run services that are not required.

Thou shalt install security fixes for operating systems and applications as soon as they become available.

Thou shalt back up your systems early and often.

Thou shalt protect your systems against power surges and loss of power.

Thou shalt know who you are trusting.  That goes for trusted network connections as well as personnel.
