Trying out Pando with 110mb email attachment!



Well after applying to the beta and telling all of you to check it out. I was replying to someone (Well the guy is an accomplished Oracle Professional who does a lot of presentations, writes articles and has over 10 years of experience, I just didn't name him as I don't/didn't have his permission) who had trouble with the cluvfy.sh in the "Oracle RAC on VMware" series with the Oracle 10g Release2. He did have a 110mb word doc (I think he saved everything on *.bmps).

I suggested him to use Pando and transfer it to me. Easy stuff. And the rate is not that bad either. I got something like 150KB/s with my regular download limit with 550KB/s. (Ignore the 30KB/s on the pic as I'm downloading someother stuff AND working on a remote computer with VMware AND..ahem...OK I know you don't care)



So keep Pando'ing fellas! And don't forget you can go upto 1Gb in the beta trial.

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
