Basic Computer Security:

Posted by: Berlin Fritz on 09 December 2006

Chaps! I was just in the process of making up a nice old list of thingys on a word file for the impending visit of the Court Adjudicator re my ongoing private insolvency case. He/she must be informed of all parties I have contractual dealings with, ie, phone, bank, electricity, job centre, house owners, etc, etc. I'd hand-written them all up, along with code numbers, accounts, names, addresses, etc, etc, and was about to start building up a file. It suddenly occurred to my tiny mind that although I was offline, and that after I'd printed a couple of copies off and deleted it all from this computer it could well all still be retrieved by a budding hacker. I use two computers generally one online & one totally offline
and one up to date virus free. Obviously I've now done it all on the offline jobby, though
twas more of a pain as it's only got a 15" monitor compared to this 19" one. I know this is all purely academic and for many of you standard basic practice, and shredding physical documents etc, etc, is the norm. I personally readily assume that all of my e-mail and online imput etc is recorded or read (no this is not paranoia Chaps) so I see no good reason to make it even easier for prospective crooks (or spooks) they can easily find things out anyway, but that doesn't mean I have to consciously
help them in their job-creating (often tax-swallowing) tasks now does it? Online banking is
absolute MADNESS in my view, as is EBAY etc, a villain's dream come true. Anti viruses and
firewalls etc, I personally think are a scam in themselves too, and just play on people's basic
laziness & stupidity in general.


Regards,



Fritz Von Put your hand on this red hotplate Dear!

Will it burn?

Of course not love, trust me, I'm qualified!*

Who's seen that German Chap on the telly then, who took his brand new (chipped ) Passport, scanned it on a supermarket thingy he got for �200 on E-Bay, took a plain chip card, loaded it all on in three minutes (using the customs-style prog he got quite easily too), and Voila, one perfick copy of his ID, making security a farce, and ID theft highly possible and likely.


Fritz Von Of Course Our Mick's mates will pooh pooh this in UK (ID Cards) as their PFI funded scheme is due to make them hundreds of millions of squids profit in the not too distant future (ie, EU Countries have been forced upon with this technology far too fast and ignored all warnings from the er, Professionals** (nothing New there then, Reid's in Charge Chaps, no Worries).

I have an enduring memory of him from the early 80's... he'd just hoisted himself out of a Lamborghini Countach, complete with all the hand controls, and was hurtling round the paddock at Silverstone in his wheelchair, pulling wheelies and cracking jokes.

A truly wonderful chap, he will be missed by many.



Never heard of the guy actually, though there again most Germans I've met have absolutely no idea what meaning Colditz Castle has to Brits & Yanks, barring that it's a mental hospital that is?

Fritz Von Douglas Bader's totally unheard of! (German name strangely enough too, like Rumsfeld)

P.S. Though if we make a one-off Padded Cell exception and be totally honest with ourselves for 5 seconds here Chaps, I doubt very much if many Brits under the age of 30 have heard of him either, innit!

Good Afternoon Fritz,

God's allotment water system has finally turned itself off, and it’s a lovely sunny but cold day here in the "gateway to the lake district". Don't you just love marketing phrases like that!

I like that Lav-Nav, It'd do my Father in-law for Xmas as he won’t leave the house without knowing where a toilet is, all due to his age and failing waterworks you see!

Do you fancy giving me the magic HTML formula for typing these links that you and everyone else seem to be able to type and post up? As it is a mystery too me.

My recent computer white flies on the Acad Manila thread have turned out to be a health issue with my eyes. So after much humming and arrhing and asking various family members if they could see what I was going on about, I went to the opticians who after a quick look in my eyes sent me straight up to the hospital. Where I spent the best part of Thursday in the eye clinic under going tests, which have revealed I’ve lost some field of vision in my left eye. A trip to the Neurologist next, oh well, what will be will be, as my dad used to say!

Beano

Oh thanks for that e-christmas card thingymajig. Save me buying one he he he.

Dear Fritz von sturm und strang,

My favourest film when I was a sprog was 'Reach for the Sky' Douglas Bader was a man of immense courage and integrity but these days kids only know about neurotic gay guys in reality tv shows - its a blooming disgrace.

Be careful of upsetting the sensitive and delicate Mick Parry or he will accuse you of reducing this ere forum to the level of a school playground and depart to pastures new thus depriving said forum of one of its undoubted characters. The truth is this forum would be a poorer place without our Mick's pompous buffoonery. I know he comes out with a lot of nonesense but he did say one thing interesting once although I cant for the life of me remember what it was.

Acad von care in the community innit cos some people can dish it out but they cant take it can they?

Beano me old Profiler, I just load it up from this link normally, innit* First browse yer files, then host it, wait for load up, then copy and paste it in the pic/UBB thingy on this page., then before you actually post it, get rid of the IMG bit at each end of the code, or it'll be displayed.

Fritz Von Your's Eye! That flies thingy (Gif if I recall) used to have a bloody virus innit some years afore when it made the e-mail rounds.

Talking of Tom Parry's highly diciplined and respect-drilled er, schooldays:


Fritz Von No!Not a drop of sympathy in that direction is deserved, in fact if he leaves here for his other mates on the old Pink Salmon Show finally, it'll save me a lot of future writing, wunnit*


Goodnight Chops*

Chaps

I have always wet shaved and my 30 year old shaving brush has had its day.

I looked on the internet and found several sites selling Badger hair brushes at prices ranging from £29.00 up to £200.00.

Do any of you use Badger hair and what is the difference between a £29.00 model and a £200.00 one.

Regards
