What is the current status of HTTPS Everywhere add-on for FF? I understand it was previously compatible, but it is not now (I am running 3.6.11 on LL). This article on firesheep has me a bit freaked.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have tried to configure my iptables to allow only HTTPS connections to the internet. Unfortunately, I didn't get that to work. I configured it like this:
Quote:
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -t filter -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -t filter -p udp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT

Of course I am only trying to access websites via HTTPS Still, I was wondering if HTTPS somehow under the hood requires the HTTP port to be open or if my rules are in some other way wrong.

I have an ssh tunnel with my ubuntu (vps) server. On my local computer I have proxifier, to redirect everything with socks5.
Everything works fine, I can browse websites and that. Email also works.
But when I want to visit a website that uses https it doesn't work. I do not get to see the website, or receive an internal server error.
Is there a plugin or some other way to check to see if a website has https available, and use that instead? I know some sites, like Wikipedia have a different hostname for SSL support while others have the same hostname, just What I would really like to seesome kind of header in the http reply or the html that saysSecureAvailable= is there any system like this in place? There's too many issues with with unencrypted http to continue having that as the default.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen connecting to an unknown unsecured wireless network, is it possible for someone to capture a header and resend it even if it's over https? For example I login on an ipod or on a computer and connect to a server through https and password auth. Although anyone monitoring the transmission could not get hold of my password since it's encrypted, could they just capture the header and resend it 5mins later to logon again without even knowing the password?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI am working on a project to create a video conferencing environment. For this I use a default installation of BigBlueButton on ubuntu 10.04. One of the main problems here is that it's not safe enough to share classified documents trough this software. It's a simple webserver that uses nginx. What I want to do is make this connection secure.
One of the problems is that I don't only have a connection trough port 80 but it uses the following ports:
Port 80 (HTTP), 1935 (RTMP), 9123 (Desktop sharing).
I would like to use a proxy instead of some tunneling or vpn to do this. Would anyone happen to know anything about squid or another equivalent to do this?
I'm trying to figure out how to use ADrive.com's 50 GB's or SkyDrive's 25 GB's of free storage to backup my computer automaticaly.
Problem's:
1. With ADrive I can select all my files at once through their website's uploader vs SkyDrive where you have to select them one by one. There are some third party programs, like Gladinet, which will mount sky drive to your computer like an extra drive, though I haven't found one for linux yet. This guy came up with a cool way to backup automagically with Windows: [URL] I am trying to figure out how to do the same thing with Linux.
2. ADrive's uploader is not on https, whereas SkyDrive is. Either way I wanted to encypt my files on my computer first so when I back them up, they are safe in case they should fall into the wrong hands, not that I don't trust Microsoft or whoever ADrive is with all my most precious documents, but I'd rather error on the side of safety.
Basically, whenever I am on an unencrypted wireless hotspot, I open up an SSH tunnel to my home server to do all my browsing for the privacy and security it provides.But I got to thinking, and now I am curious, if I am visiting a site like gmail for instance that always uses SSL/TLS for it's connections, is there any added benefit to also using an encrypted tunnel? or is it perhaps superfluous to use both

I'm about to create a CSR and was reading this page in the Ubuntu docs: [URL] A couple of things:
* There's no date on the article. The documentation needs DATES because this information gets out of date! Check MySQL docs, for instance -- they are organized by version.
* The instructions for generating a cert only specify 2048 bits. I believe that's kind of out of date? The verisign site has big red warnings saying you need 2048 if you want your cert to last past 2013 -- and that article is 4 years old!
* The instructions are confusing when discussing the passphrase. We enter a passphrase only to remove it immediately. We need some clarity here. Why do this?

I have an e-machines flat pannel monitor and I often find it's not supported. That, or I have to use 800x600 resolution. I'm on XP right now on a compaq and I have to settle with 1024x768. Which is stretched out. I also use a linksys USB adapter for internet and it must work with-out effort on my part. It works with the latest versions of ubuntu, puppy, Damn Small Linux and a few others. Are there any distros that might work for me? And by the way, I get the correct resolution (I can't remember what it is) with my e-machines W3052.

Ok, so I want to install the ubuntu UNR on my desktop. is that possible ?
I have tried various times to install it on my laptop in it just stuck every single time at the end of installation. so I thought there might be a problem with compatibility for computers other than netbooks. My laptop is a thoshiba satellite a300 series laptop, with a core2due t5750 intel processor and 3GB DDR2 667Mhz (i'll post full specification if required ). so now I want to install it on my desktop, Dual-Core intel cpu e5300 2GB of ram @ 800Mhz Asrok G41M-VS2 motherboard
I got windows 7 running on the desktop now.
Are ubuntu- 64 bit packages I am using on my core 2 duo desktop compatible with core i3? I am thinking of buying new core i3 laptop as I am moving to new city ..

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm going to install Ubuntu 64bit, currently run 10.10 32bit. I'm thinking about going back to 10.04 in combination with a previous version of wine(maybe 1.2?) to get some games working again.
Do any of you know if games are still working well with this combination? I'm looking to play WoW at some point, Oblivion + Expansion/Mods, any FPS available.
The one thing that keeps my XP partition alive is MS Word. Using both packages at a far more basic level than you guys by the sounds of it, but still the formatting is a nightmare. I've been using and trying out a number of distros over the past year or so and everything I need is right here. Its just so annoying theres one thing that stops me converting all together. I could write a perfect essay up in Open Office and take it into college. Open it up on their MS Word and its all goes to pot. Everything all over the place, and I have to realign margins, paragraphs etc etc. Regardless to file format its saved in, I've tried them all!

I'm in computer sales and I have a customer that wants to replace all his macs and windows computers with ubuntu. I don't know anything about linux but I heard that there is a strong community behind ubuntu He's asked me to send him an evaluation unit so that he can test it out with ubuntu and see how well it works. I personally support his idea of going with reliable, bare minimum spec computers to do a whole overhaul. But I don't want him to deal with compatibility issues on a regular basis..I was looking at the Dell D620-D630, what are your thoughts on these machines running ubuntu?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have found the wonder that is FLAC and am encoding CD's. My system at work is locked down so I found CoolPlayer++ to play FLAC which I intended to play from a DVD I created. I have collected my FLAC into collections that I want to burn to DVD for playback. So, I burn DVD in Ubuntu (9.04), files look and work great from within Linux. When I use in Windows all the folders and files are 8.3 format (major issue is that .FLAC are now .FLA and not recognized by CoolPlayer). However, if I use Windows compatibility then the FLAC filenames are truncated to 64 char (many are longer since they have track number, and full song names). Is there a way to keep longer than 64 and use in Windows?
