I ntrusion Prevention and Detection System Basics An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is a network security/threat prevention technology that examines network traffic flows to detect and prevent vulnerability exploits. Vulnerability exploits usually come in the form of malicious inputs to a target application or service that attackers use to interrupt and gain control of an application or machine. Following a successful exploit, the attacker can disable the target application (resulting in a denial-of-service state), or can potentially access to all the rights and permissions available to the compromised application. Prevention The IPS often sits directly behind the firewall and it provides a complementary layer of analysis that negatively selects for dangerous content. Unlike its predecessor the Intrusion Detection System (IDS)—which is a passive system that scans traffic and reports back on threats—the IPS is placed inline (in the direct communication path betwee

Fix slow boot times in Windows 10 Similar process on Windows 8 before, Windows 10 uses a hybrid boot to enable fast boot times. When you shut the system down, apps and app processes are terminated, but the Windows kernel itself is hibernated to allow for a faster restart. In theory, it's great, but it seems to still be very slow for some Windows 10 users. Disable it by searching for Power Options in the Start Menu and running the matching Control Panel applet, then in the left-hand pane click Choose what the power buttons do. Click Change settings that are currently unavailable, scroll down and un-tick Turn on fast start-up, then click save changes. This should prevent very slow starts on affected PCs. Some users report that if they subsequently ; When using a dual-booting between Windows 10 and Windows 7, switching fast start-up off will also fix the problem where Windows 7 checks the disks each time you boot it: With fast start-up enabled, the earl

How to Export Mailboxes with Exchange Server 2010 SP1 Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 1 introduced a new method for exporting mailboxes called Mailbox Export Requests. This new method replaces the previous Export-Mailbox command. Before we look at how to create a new mailbox export request in Exchange 2010 SP1 there are a few things that you should understand. Firstly, no accounts are granted the rights to export mailboxes by default. You need to Explicitly grant these rights, even to accounts that are organization administrators. Secondly, the mailbox export request is processed by the Client Access server role. Because multiple Client Access servers can exist in a site the request could be processed by any one of them. To ensure that the path to the export PST 􀃖 le is valid for any Client Access server it has to be a UNC path to network share, not a local path. GRANTING USER RIGHTS FOR MAILBOX EXPORTS IN EXCHANGE 2010 SP1 The Fi rst step is to gr
