    While analyzing the ransomware's inner workings, Serper was the first to discover that NotPetya would search for a local file and would exit its encryption routine if that file already existed on disk. The researcher's initial findings have been later confirmed by other security researchers, such as PT Security , TrustedSec , and Emsisoft. This means victims can create that file on their PCs, set it to read-only, and block the NotPetya ransomware from executing. While this does prevent the ransomware from running, this method is more of a vaccination than a kill switch. This is because each computer user must independently create this file, compared to a "switch" that the ransomware developer could turn on to globally prevent all ransomware infections. How to Enable the NotPetya/Petna/Petya Vaccine To vaccinate your computer so that you are unable to get infected with the current strain of NotPetya/Petya/Petna (yeah, this naming is annoying), simply create a file

The IoT refers to the connection of devices (other than typical fare such as computers and smartphones) to the Internet. Cars, kitchen appliances, and even heart monitors can all be connected through the IoT. And as the Internet of Things grows in the next few years, more devices will join that list. We've compiled a beginner's guide to the IoT to help you navigate the increasingly connected world.

Manage your Bandwidth PFSense is by far one of the best gateway solutions out there in my opinion.  I am going to show you one of the many reasons why I think this product is best of breed and that is the Bandwidth limiter.

Now that may sound like a lot of reading to get up to speed with but I assure you it is quite easy to set up and maintain, let me show you how. First off I will take a bandwidth test to see what I get as unregulated bandwidth. I have a cable service from Brighthouse that is 50Mb download and 5 Mb upload.
