Security System for Local Area Network

Security System for Local Area Network Raman Sidhu Windows Server 2008 offers a very good Windows consistency and Performance monitor tool. Within minutes, you can have a comprehensive and graphical view of your server. In the past, you had to pull information from a variety of management tools, but no more. In Server Manager, under Diagnostics, select Windows System Resource Manager. You can connect to the local or a remote server. Resource Monitor displays a real-time status update. You can configure the monitor with standard performance counters from multiple machines. Or you can navigate a bit further to the Performance tab and kick off a pre-built data collector set. This is a nice way to start and get an introduction to creating your own data sets. After collecting data, Windows Server 2008 R2 will prepare a report with all the pertinent information. It’s not easier to create valuable performance and utilization reports. Amongst its many functions, Windows Server 2008 lets you define event criteria and schedule when to grab performance data. And dont think you need to log on to a Windows Server 2008 server. You can install the Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 and manage all Windows 2003, 2008 and Windows Server 2008 servers from the comfort of your own desk. Local Area Network (LAN) refers to the local area coverage of a computer network. In general, communication data packets which can be transmitted between any two network nodes based on broadcast transmission have been widely used in local area network at present. Not only can they be received by a network card in those two network nodes, but they can also be received by a network card in any other network node on the same Ethernet. Therefore, a hacker can track, unpack all packets and steal critical information in Ethernet when they access any node on the Ethernet. This poses security risks in Ethernet. In order to ensure local area network security. This thesis analyzes several solutions which are used firewall technology, encryption technology, network segmentation and VLAN technology. The thesis introduces three ways of establishing a preliminary LAN Protection System which are: designing a LAN structure, designing LAN security management structure and configuring a firewall. Protecting LAN from the external network In applications of Local Area Network, the intranet of independent external internet applications is widespread. In many enterprises and scientific research institutions, there are many computers which save national secrets, private customer information and important information within the company and these computers cannot connect to the Internet. The purpose of illegal external monitoring is to enable administrators to understand the status of protected environment, and thus to establish a monitoring process, timely response, and alarm for illegal external access conduct on the internal LAN, to protect the internal network security, to further take effective technical means to provide support and resolve the problem. Why we are using windows server 2008 Direct Access One particularly exciting feature in Windows Server 2008, especially as more mobile clients move to Windows 7, is Direct Access. In the past, providing secure remote access meant installing, configuring, maintaining and troubleshooting VPN connections. Speaking from personal experience and Im sure many of you will agree this was never a fun task for users or IT pros, especially when something broke. In fact, users often went out of their way to avoid VPNs, thus causing security vulnerabilities and poor productivity. With DirectAccess, remote users who have an Internet connection but dont have a VPN can use IPSec and IPv6 to securely connect to the following types of corporate resources: SharePoint sites Intranet sites File shares Line-of-business applications E-mail If an IPv6 native network isnt available which is the case for most public locations, like cafes Windows 7 will establish an IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel. You can also integrate DirectAccess with Network Access Protection to protect your corporate environment. One great benefit of DirectAccess over solutions like VPNs is that performance is enhanced, and theres no commingling of intranet and Internet traffic. With DirectAccess, these networks remain separate and distinct. If you have strong security requirements, you can also configure DirectAccess to use smartcards. I like that you can restrict DirectAccess traffic to specific servers and applications. This helps segment and optimize traffic and adds an additional layer of security. But theres another benefit to DirectAccess that anyone who manages mobile users will appreciate. Until recently, the only opportunity to properly manage or update mobile users was when they returned to the office and connected to the local network. Nobody likes this situation, and, with growing security and compliance requirements, its hardly practical. Improvements in the Group Policy Management Windows Server 2008 R2 introduces over 1,000 new Group Policy Objects specific to Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7, along with several new components that expand on the core capabilities of Group Policy management that have been part of Windows 2000/2003 Active Directory. The basic functions of the Group Policy havent changed, so the Group Policy Object Editor (gpedit) and the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC) are the same, but with more options and settings available. As mentioned earlier, the Group Policy Management Console can either be run as a separate MMC tool, or it can be launched off the Features branch of the Server Manager console tree, as shown in Figure 1.7. Group policies in Windows Server 2008 R2 provide more granular management of local machines, specifically having policies that push down to a client that are different for administrator and non-administrator users. Introducing Performance and Reliability Monitoring Tools Windows Server 2008 R2 introduces new and revised performance and reliability monitoring tools intended to help network administrators better understand the health and operations of Windows Server 2008 R2 systems. Just like with the Group Policy Management Console, the new Reliability and Performance Monitor shows up as a feature in the Server Manager console The new tool keeps track of system activity and resource usage and displays key counters and system status on screen. The Reliability Monitor diagnoses potential causes of server instability by noting the last time a server was rebooted, what patches or updates were applied, and chronologically when services have failed on the system so that system faults can potentially be traced back to specific system updates or changes that occurred prior to the problem. Windows server 2008 vs. windows server 2012 The biggest key point is 2008 has been out for a long time. They have ironed out a lot of bugs and its pretty stable. Coupled with the fact that theres a ton of tutorials and troubleshooting on the web, it really has a huge amount of support available. That being said, 2008 is based on the Windows Vista platform. Its not quite like 2003 (NT or XP style and functionality) and its not quite 2012 (more like Windows 7). 2012 comes with the more current features and has been simplified quite a little bit. I havent played much with 2012 yet but from what Ive seen and done with it its pretty super bad!!! It does require a lot more on the processor and RAM side, you want to have at least 8GB of the RAM for it (at very least). Of course it depends on what youre doing too, if you want to just have a file server Id go with Free NAS or just buy a NAS device. If you want to host websites Id honestly just go with Server 12.04 (it rocks), theres a learning curve on it but its really pretty fantasti c! If youre looking to have a mail server setup (like Exchange) you could run that off of a Windows 7 workstation and stop something free like Rumble Mail. If youre looking to host games or something like that then youve got to nail down a platform first then build around it, not the other way around like most folks try to do. Finally if youre looking to do something in your home (lots of folks are for some reason) then Id just find an easy way to do it without wasting a ton of dough on the server OS. Here is the list of the things that has been lost in translation from 2008 to 2012: 1.Being able to publish both a full remote desktop session and remote apps in the same session collection is not possible. This was possible in 2008 by a single click. 2.In 2008 we used the  «Remote Control » (Shadowing) feature extensively to give customer support to our clients, this has been removed in 2012, with no apparent reason given, it’s not even mentioned anywhere, it’s just gone. 3.When using the default standard deployment and adding all the certificates in the Deployment settings, you still get a warning when connecting, since it’s not adding any certificate to the RDSH, it’s using a self signed one. This was done in  «Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration » before, but now it’s not possible using the new server manager. Have I missed it? 4.Most of our clients are still using Windows XP. In 2008 we deployed the Remote apps using MSI’s, which in addition to placing remote apps on the desktop, also added file associations. With 2012, MSI deployment is gone, so for Windows XP clients, which doesn’t have Remote app and Desktop Connections feature, they’re stuck using RD Web access, which doesn’t give you desktop icons, and doesn’t give you file associations. 5.A long awaited feature that has been announced all over the web, was the ability to pin remote app programs. This feature never made it to Windows Server 2012 RTM, without any mention as to why. Why? 6. User Profile Disks. While the idea behind this is brilliant, I believe its still far from being a mature feature: Secure data transmission When it comes to the security, secure data transmission fills out the final third of the security equation, right behind (or before, depending on how you look at it) security of data storage and security of the physical technology and the location of that technology. Assuming that youve satisfied the first two-thirds of the security equation, before setting out to secure your data during transmission, first determine the value of that data and then spend accordingly to secure it. Valuable data with little or no security can prove as costly as the invaluable data with too much unnecessary security. After determining the value of your security, consider the most appropriate options for transmitting data and then explore the various encryption methods necessary for protecting your specific data transmissions. And, finally, I cant reiterate enough that a technical solution is never the whole solution. Data originates from individuals, not from computers, so implementing strong security policies and procedures is as important as choosing all the physical and technical barriers to your data. Network Devices Internet Protocols Encryption Digital Signing Public Key Infrastructure Remote access Wireless Encryption Remote Access Remote Access is a network service in Windows Server 2012 that combines the Direct Access feature, introduced in Windows Server 2008 , and the Routing and the Remote Access Service (RRAS), into a new unified server role. In Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003, and Windows 2000 Server, RRAS provided the following services: Dial-up remote access server Virtual private network (VPN) remote access server Internet Protocol (IP) router for connecting subnets of a private network Network address translator (NAT) for connecting a private network to the Internet Dial-up and VPN site-to-site demand-dial router Wireless encryption WEP is the oldest,  least secure way to encrypt your Wi-Fi. Few years ago, WEP(wired equivalent privacy) developed to secure the Wi-Fi network. To a WEP-secured network. WEP will only stop the most casual of Wi-Fi users from connecting to your network. Anyone who really wants access to your network can easily gain access if you’re using WEP. There’s no reason to use WEP. If you have an very old router that only supports WEP, you should upgrade it right now. PKI The public key infrastructure assumes the use ofpublic key cryptography, which is the most common method on the Internet for authenticating a message sender or encrypting a message. Traditional  cryptography  has usually involved the creation and sharing of a  secret key  for the  encryption  and decryption of messages. This secret or private key system has the significant flaw that if the key is discovered or intercepted by someone else, messages can easily be decrypted. For this reason, public key cryptography and the public key infrastructure is the preferred approach on the Internet. The  public key  infrastructure provides for a  digital certificate  that can identify an individual or an organization and directory services that can store and, when necessary, revoke the certificates. Although the components of a PKI are generally understood, a number of different vendor approaches and services are emerging. Meanwhile, an Internet standard for PKI is being work ed on. Perimeter network security Perimeter Security is a solution where each endpoint device is responsible for its own security. Perimeter Security Protection allows companies of all the sizes to manage all their network perimeters in the office, for home working or on the road. Firewalls N A T RADIUS IIS TMG Firewall Technology The firewall is an important security technology. It is mainly consists of software and hardware devices. The firewall establishes a safety shield that is used in the intranet and extranet of a unit and enterprise or private network and public network. The firewall establishes a security gateway between Internets to prevent illegal invasion, destruction and theft of data from outside users. The firewall mainly consists of service access control rules, authentication policy and packet filtering and application gateway. From technical point of view, currently there are 2 more mature architectures of firewall: packet filtering firewall and proxy type firewall (application gateway-based). At present considering comprehensive security and low-cost, the firewall market is mainly dominated by packet filtering firewall products. (Micosoft, 2014) Internet Information Server IIS (Internet Information Server) is a group of Internet servers (including a Web or Hypertext Transfer Protocol server and afile transfer protocolserver) with additional capabilities for MicrosoftsWindows NT and windows 2000Server operating systems. IIS is Microsofts entry to compete in the Internet server market that is also addressed byapache, Sun Microsystems, OReilly, and others. With IIS, Microsoft includes a set of programs for building and administering Web sites, a search engine, and support for writing Web-based applications that accessdatabases. NAT The Internet is expanding at an exponential rate. As the amount of  information  and resources increases, it is becoming a requirement for even the smallest businesses and homes to connect to the Internet. Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method of connecting multiple computers to the Internet (or any other IP network) using one IP address. This allows home users and small businesses to connect their network to the Internet cheaply and efficiently. Manage operational security Network Security solutions includethe next generation firewall security and intrusion prevention, advanced behaviour analytics, and sophisticated threat detection engines, all designed to protect your next-generation networks. Security policies Auditing ACL Physical security Networking ACLs: On some types of proprietary computer hardware, an  Access  Control Listrefers to rules that are applied to  port numbers  or network  daemon  names that are available on a  host  or other  layer 3, each with a list of hosts and/or networks permitted to use the service. Both individual  servers  as well as  routers  can have network ACLs.  Access  control lists can generally be configured to control both inbound and outbound traffic, and in this context they are similar to  firewalls. (Quinstreet, 2014) Auditing Auditing is exactly what it sounds like — it keeps a record of things that have been modified in Active Directory. In order to track file and folder access on Windows Server 2008 it is necessary to enable file and folder auditing and then identify the files and folders that are to be audited. Once correctly configured, the server security logs will then contain information about attempts to access or otherwise manipulate the designated files and folders. It is important to note that file and folder auditing is only available for NTFS volumes. Security Policies The  IT Security Policy  is the principle document for the network security. Its goal is to outline the rules for ensuring the security of organizational assets. Employees today utilize several tools and applications to conduct the business productively. Policy that is driven from the organization’s culture supports these routines and focuses on the safe enablement of these tools to its employees. The enforcement and auditing procedures for any regulatory compliance an organization is required to meet must be mapped out in the policy as well. Conclusion As we dicussed above security is the major issue so we can make our data secure by knowing or being aware of the threats to our data. During transmission of our data we can use encryption. We can use firewalls or NAT for network security and also for managing security operations we can use auditing, security plicies or ACLs. We are using windows server 2008 because of its benefits it provides secure direct access like installing or configuring, more over it has so many improvements in group policy management and it introduces us performance and reliability monitoring tools. So from my point of view Windows server 2008 is better than Windows server 2012. Because there are so many things that i had mentioned above were in 2008 but those are not available in 2012.

Solar Panels vs. Trees

Solar Panels Vs. Trees Many consumers have several questions if whether or not if their neighbors can block access to their solar panels with shading. In the case of Solar vs. Trees, the trees are the ones that block the solar panels from direct sunlight. Both these men are environmentally friendly. â€Å"In terms of loving the environment it seems that neither one can top the other. † (NPR 62) When it comes to the decision of cutting down trees to get sunlight for solar panels, which one seems to have the upper hand in this situation? I believe Mr. Treanor should have the upper hand in this situation involving his trees and Mr.Vargus’s solar panel installation. Mr. Treanor trees had been planted first and Mr. Vargus did not seem to mention the fact that the trees were interrupting the growth of the corn he had planted. There are several reason as to why Mr. Vargus is wrong in filing the lawsuit against Mr. Treanor. Mr. Vargus used his knowledge of the Solar Shade Act a fter the matter of knowing his neighbor’s trees were casting a long shadow over his property. Mr. Vargus never informed Mr. Treanor of his findings. It was only after the tree had grown to its full height that Mr.Vargus installed the solar panels that he offered Mr. Treanor that he would pay for the tree to be cut down himself. Since Mr. Treanor planted the redwood trees first. The one immense mistake he made was the fact that he did not do his research so that he could be well acquainted with the redwood trees and to see precisely how tall the redwood trees grow and the environment that they need to be grown in. He also did not consider any of the risk factors that could possibly occur when planting a redwood and living in one of the areas that has a high risk of earthquake.For someone that has never seen a redwood tree, it can be larger than life. The average redwood tree can amount up to three hundred and seventy five feet tall. These trees have been present before man him self came on earth. If a live redwood were to fall over it will continue to grow. At that point if the tree that has fallen over has not been disturbed will continue to grow and produce even more redwoods trees. First of all, redwoods depend on 30 percent of fog to water their every need. The fog is absorbed directly into leaves and all the way down to their roots.Living in certain parts of California especially one of them being Santa Clara means we hardly receive any of this fog except our large amounts of sunshine. Living in Santa Clara also means you live close to the San Andres fault line. If an earthquake were to occur the redwood tree that Mr. Treanor planted could easily break from the ground and fall onto one of his neighbors houses. Therefore producing a larger amount of redwoods. Although there is cause for several complications, redwoods are of necessity in our environment. Originally Redwoods covered 2 million acres in the forest.Today there is about 117,000 acres left. â€Å"There is an urgent need to restore these damaged lands so they will once again resemble majestic ancient forests and provide homes for animals that rely on them. (All About Redwoods)† Even though Mr. Treanor did not take the necessary precautions he should have, Mr. Vargus should have brought his discovery to Mr. Treanor and proceed to develop a plan in which they both would have come to a compromise. When Mr. Vargus first attempted to plant his corn he knew he needed sunlight to ensure its growth. Mr.Vargus planted his corn closet to the fence line where the shade was more evident. Mr. Vargus knew at that moment that the corn that he planted would not grow due to the amount of shade that was covering the side of his house. At that precise moment he was indifferent of the situation with the growth of Mr. Treanors trees. It was later that Mr. Vargus spent thousands of dollars to install the solar panels after the fact of the matter that he was well informed of the Solar Shade/Rights Act. This act was created to perform a solar access structure.This law that included security was â€Å"to allow sunlight and prevent shading of systems and to limit the ability homeowner associations and governments† from solar energy resources. Mr. Vargus did offer to pay $10,000 to have the trees cut down. He was also well informed of the Solar Shade Act law and took advantage of the situation. What he did not take into consideration was the fact that trees one; two and three had been planted before the installment of his solar energy system. They had been there before he made his attempt to plant his corn plant.The Solar Shade Act was to provide limited protection to solar energy owners from shading that has been caused by any other resources. This law was to prevent property owners from allowing a blocking to their solar energy system prior installment. Resources planted after prior installment was and should to be removed. Shading is only allowed to block 10 percent of the solar energy systems on a neighboring property during certain hours. This applies to existing or newly planted trees that do not cast an overlooking shadow within the first year f installation. The Solar Rights Act allows us to balance the essential needs of each individual solar system owner along with other property owners by allowing the development of solar access rights. The SRA limits its conditions and restrictions that are enforced by homeowners and local government agencies on solar installations. The also creates legal rights to solar interest and requires local agencies to help preserve the cooling and heating opportunities in developing new projects.The California Solar Rights Act of  1978 does not necessarily bar reasonable restrictions  on solar installations, but it does establish its legal right to exercise a solar convenience. Which defines that energy systems are met with its requirements. It is to also control the government ordinances that w ould confine solar energy systems. The California Solar Shade Control Act was passed in the late 1970’s after â€Å"the oil crisis and lines at the gas stations† (NBR 62) made an impact on lawmakers and made them aware of the importance of alternative energy use.In the result of the oil crisis there were many states that adopted laws to encourage and promote renewable energy resources, which incorporated solar energy. In the recent years there has been a large amount of renewed energy. Many homes today have solar panels installed. There are more than 60 million Americans that are limited to the growth of solar energy use which bring about the Solar Shade Act and making it the most popular in homeownership. These laws have been in place for more than 30 years.The Solar Rights Act fought to promote and support the wide-ranging use of solar energy systems and to defend and help aid the right to use to the sunlight, which is an essential component to operate our solar ener gy systems. Even though the law is more than 30 years old, the Solar Rights Act is a large contributory factor that plays a significant role to California's strong policy commitment to solar energy, and it is also the foundation for the act that is of relevance to all of us today and helps to continue its support for California’s solar energy programs.

What You Dont Know About Professional Presentation Could Be Costing to More Than You Think

What You Don't Know About Professional Presentation Could Be Costing to More Than You Think What You Must Know About Professional Presentation Alternative presentation software can provide unique visual characteristics that engage people past the normal bullet-point slides everyone is utilized to watching. Templates have become ubiquitous in that it's being used in almost anything we create. You are able to virtually add any kind of text you want on the rear of the design but typically it's a poem or some sort or prayer in remembrance or maybe to commemorate their life. If a power point presentation is necessary in any circumstance, guarantee that the background and the text colors match well and they aren't likely to hurt the opinion of the viewers. You also should make sure the shade of the background enhances the text and doesn't mask it. A similar color background on jpgs or the very same size is a simple way to produce a consistent appearance. As the very first step, you have to make a productive preparation for your presentation. Therefore the success of the whole presentation is dependent mostly on preparing good slides. A firm's trademark is an identity of a business. How you opt to organize your presentation has a significant impact upon your success for a presenter. If you're a little team with minimal design experience, Zoho is a superb alternate to PowerPoint.
