Hackers - What to look out for and prevention!?

Hi, I was just looking through my logs and such and saw some alot of gobbly gook. It made me nervous. so I was wondering what are the main tips on detecting a Hacker, spotting Hacking attempts and prevention of Hackers?
I understand that I depends on what kit you have and such and that your computer has to make connections with others to use the internet but what do I and every other average Apple user need to look out for in logs on modems, firewalls and applications.
I personaly have looked at my logs on my Netgear Modem and logs on my System Profiler application. I see connections to various things but i'm no good at networking. All I know is to have my firewall on!
Also...I am always nervous when using Bit Torrent, do I have any need to be?
Thanks all ~ Joe
p.s - I have also read in other posts that posting log information is a dumb idea so have played safe and kept them to myself. So there's my tip! :)
PowerBook G4 15" - Sept 04- 1.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.2) Power Mac G4 1GHz DP - Airport Extreme - 2MBPS Broadband

It's not always true that an invalid access is an attack. For example, if your firewall application reports that the misused source port is a high port number, it might be a trigger packet. Some ISP may configure the servers system incorrectly or insufficiently. Some organization or a group of companies may send scanning packets to P2P users in a special way in order to improve heavy WAN traffics caused by P2P software users. You might mis-configure your modem or router firewall system or a built-in firewall has a bug, etc.
If a source port number is in the rage between 49152 and 65535, it is normally either dynamic or private ports. Dynamic ports are randomly assigned, and private ports are used by OS software or applications. By seeing any high ports with other logs events, you may guess whether someone attacks your node, about his/her skills/ability and the time zone. You may see one of high ports displaying on Netstat program for Network Utility application when pressing "Display the state of all current socket connections"-- udp4 0 0 localhost.xxxxx. Netstat may help to know who is on networks but not in real time. You need to refresh the button manually.
Here are two basic points:
* It is important to know yourself and think of your computer configurations before you start thinking who is there or your enemy.
* The most important matter in computer security is to be aware, and watch the systems carefully something most people do not do. For example, check if asl.log facility status with the level integer value displays differently from regular bases. If system.log or console.log reports that your computer name and the host name are changed, you may be facing to a serious security situation.
If you want to see whether your ISP blocks ports or you have opened ports, security scan service such as grc.com (Shields UP), dshield.org or seifried.org are available on the Internet.
Mac OS X Tiger built-in firewall (ipfw) has basic features. You can add rule-sets if you want. See for example here. Normally, you do not need to change the default rule-sets that blocks unwanted incoming packets.
Here is how to read about a log example for Mac OS X built-in firewall:
ipfw: 64000 Deny TCP 123.456.78.900:4990 444.555.66.777:1433 in via en1
The ipfw rule-set 64000 denies a Transmission Control Protocol IP packet sent by the source address 123.456.78.900 via the port number 4990 to attempt an invalid access to the destination address 444.555.66.777 targeting to the port 1433 in via your interface "AirPort." The destination address in this case is your local IP address, but not a remote IP address assigned for your ISP (for instance) node. The BSD device name for Built-in Ethernet interface is "en0." "en1" is used for AirPort or the first PCI Ethernet card if you install one.
You see the Mac OS X built-in firewall do not tell you the service name of a misused port number and the host name of the source IP address in real time. Therefore, it may be uncomfortable to analyze the background in details-- especially, if events of the firewall log would be flooded by access attempted every minute or more frequently. You may not even be able to send an e-mail to abuse team who is responsible for the source IP address net block to ask for the investigation if you want to do so. To send an enquiry has two meaning-- suggesting their server vulnerability or insufficient configuration and making a good use of their reply to your analysis.
In this case, an unassigned port number 4990 is misused by someone directly or indirectly (e.g. bot, botarmy, etc.) from the server 123.456.78.900, and the port 1433 for sniffing if a Microsoft SQL Server (Windows related) is running on your machine. There is also known history that some viruses try to exploit vulnerabilities in Microsoft SQL Server. The most known ports being misused in recent days are 8 (ICMP ping) 135, 139, 445 and ports for Trojan Horses and P2P technology driven software such as BitTorrent-- See also this world map, http://isc.sans.org/.
You may think about why bad IP packets pass through your ISP servers especially if servers are configured with a firewall system.
If you want to know more about Transmission Control Protocol specification, find "RFC 793" documentation on the Internet. All assigned port numbers document is available at www.iana.org.
If you are interested in third-party firewall, DoorStop X and Who's There are very good applications. You'll see it when you use their trial version with the full features.
Good firewall applications may protect your computer from various invalid access attempts but not for the real solution. Good packet analyzing (Sniffers) applications may help to inform you a result of analysis but not for the real solution. End-users, ISPs and the authorities need to run to the same direction together.

Buying a used Mac - what to look out for

I'm not really sure this should be in the MacBook Pro forum, but I had to put it somewhere.
I'm considering buying a used Mac for my son. My daughter is using an old Aluminum PowerBook and when she gets older, I'll upgrade her as well. For my son the unit will be for mostly at home, so it doesn't need to be a laptop, but since laptops can basically be used as desktops as well, I'm posting here.
What I want to know are any "gotcha's" that might not occur to me. For example, such and such types don't have particularly good battery life, the hard drive on this one is easy to change but not on that one. This one is known to have video problems but that one is great, etc.etc. Things to look out for or be aware of.
I'm not adverse to buying old PPC based systems. Some of the old PowerMacs with G5 processors can be had for really, really low prices, but they're obviously limited to Leopard.
This is a 10 year old boy, so I'm not going to spend a fortune on it. Kids will be kids, you know.
Thoughts anyone?

I assume you're ruling out completely all iBook G3's, right?
If you got a butt kickin' PowerMac it might be quite a machine at quite a price. I've seen some G5 quad core's selling for as little as $100. With something that old, though, how long will it be before there's something like a power supply failure.
Watch out for 17" iMac's from the 2006-2007 era. The displays have a tendency to develop vertical lines, and once they start doing it, it spreads like a disease across the display. WIth a unit like that you would have to use an external display and hide the original.
Some of the earlier MacBooks had some battery issues and charging issues.
I know for a fact that if you get a 2009 MacBook and put 4G of RAM into it you can comfortably run Mavericks. Of course if you read the posts of some of the people on this site they will claim you can ***never*** run Mavericks comfortably on anything. I'm not really sure what their problems are. You can pick one of these up for less than $200 for one in moderate shape to slightly over $200 for one in good shape.
As with any laptop, check the battery out. On all systems check the HD and OD, especially the latter, to see if their working. I had to do a refurbishment/resell program on some of our older stuff and the ODs were bad in almost all of them. Thoroughly check the HD if the unit is a laptop or it's over 3 years old (just my advice).
As far as PowerBooks, they're going to be too slow to handle any online video, but probably suitable enough for anything else. You can (I'm not joking) pick up a decent 12" model (1.33GHz, for example) for less than $70. You could also look at the 15" models but be wary of a problem some of them developed over time with RAM chips in a certain bank not being recognized.
For reasons known only to God, old Titaniums are selling for more than Aluminum PowerBooks. I really wonder if people on eBay see the black Titanium keyboard on the metal base and think they're getting a new unit. Titaniums in good shape are a rarity because the hinges in the back liked to bust. They also ran hot enough to burn your legs. I'd steer clear of them.
Most of the G4 iBooks we had and tested seemed OK. Some of the iMac G5s seem to be remarably solid. With the 2009 Intel iMac's (and maybe 2010 as well) you may need to be careful about the drive you install do to an unusual thermal monitoring setup.
Well. That's if for me now.
Later.

Is there anything we need to look out for when running Forte 3.0.N.1 and iDS5.0 SP1 on WindowsXP?

We are in the process of migrating to Windows XP and during the transition period from 95 to XP we will need to run the uncertified for XP products Forte 3.0.N.1 client runtime and the iDS5.0 SP1 admin console on XP for a time.
We were just wondering if there were any gotchas or problems we need to look out for?

Hi Kelsey,
Forte 3.0.N.1 is not certified to run on Windows XP. UDS 5.0.1 is the only certified ti run on Windows XP but just as client and is not certified to be a Server.
Anyway, let me know what your problems were when running Forte on Windows XP.
Cheers!!!

An app everyone should look out for

Hello apple users,
Today I am here to warn you all for one of the many app's that scam you, this one is named "panorama backgrounds & parallax wallpapers & dynamic livepapers for ios 7, whatsapp, hangouts, viber"
Like the name and description promises it that you get many panorama, parallax, dynamic, whatsapp, hangout and viber backgrounds/wallpapers/livepapers. It only costed 1,79 (Euro) so I thought, why the heck not
When I launched the app, all I got was this:
About 30 backgrounds for whatsapp, easily found on google.
And also, it has fake reviews (at the bottom you can see the real ones of people saying the truth)
Any apps you know of other people should look out for?

Hi,
To migrate from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, you can refer to the articles provided by Amit Tank.
For one thing about public folders, Exchange 2013 users can access public folders on Exchange 2010, but Exchange 2010 users can't access public folders on Exchange 2013. If you still use public folders, you need to migrate mailboxes before moving public
folders to Exchange 2013.

Purchacing a s/h early 2008 MP - things to look out for?

Hi guys, Ive been offered a early 2008 MP at what i would consider to be a reasonable price. It is the 2 x 2.8 quad core model. Currently it has 6gb (not apple) ram & I'll be getting it with the original HD.
Not sure about any other options at this stage.
Just wondering if there are any specific things I need to be aware of with this model & to look out for. I have the serial number of the machine if that's relevant.
This would be my first MP - i have had macs for years but never MPs.
Any advice would be appreciated
cheers

How to export &import the OSS note?

Hi Team?
How to export &import the OSS note?

Dear Jagadish,
Download SAP Notes from the SAP Service Marketplace and upload them in Note Assistant.
Start Note Assistant (transaction SNOTE).
Download the SAP Note from SAPNet - R/3 Frontend. To do this, choose "SAP Note Download" (Ctrl + F8) and enter the relevant SAP Note number. The downloaded SAP Note appears in your worklist under the category New.
Read the SAP Note!
Check whether the SAP Note entails manual activities. (See also answers to questions concerning ABAP Dictionary objects and messages.)
If this is the case, first perform the manual activities.
Implement the SAP Note. To do this, choose Implement SAP Note. During implementation, Note Assistant may download prerequisite SAP Notes that must be implemented before.
Also read and check the prerequisite notes! This is necessary, since they may also contain manual activities. If you don´t do this, the syntax check can bring up an error of the relevant field of the function module, for example.
Reward points if it helps.
Regards,
Naveen.

What to look out for when upgrading from 10.4.5 to 10.4.6

I'm thinking about upgrading our server from 10.4.5 to 10.4.6 (I've delayed it because I remember hearing a few things were broken in the process on some setups). So, being the novice that I am, what should I look out for?

The best thing you can do is to take a full backup of your system and then apply the latest update.
Also, it is safer to apply the combo update.
If you do not hear problems in here, there are probably not any problems

What defects should I look out for on a new C2D MacBook?

Hi all,
So, here's my Mac story. I've had macs for the past 4 years, I just like working on them when I have the option. When the new MacBook came out last Spring I immediately bought one, and then 3 returns laters, I got one that wasn't falling apart and was happy. Then the C2D came out, and I was antsy to upgrade. I know it was foolish but I talked myself into a MBP C2D. I got that, about 2 weeks ago and was very dissapointed in the display, grainy and all. So I talked to apple and they're taking it back. But here I am with no laptop again. SO I purchased a new C2D MacBook, and it arrives today.
So back to the question ... what defects with the new one should be on the look out for? It's difficult to figure out which MacBook people are talking about when they talk about their problems.
Thanks for the help

To be honest, you shouldn't be looking for any defects. There were some problems with a small percentage of the original MacBooks which have since been resolved and should not appear on the new Core 2 models. Get your MacBook and enjoy it. If you discover something is not working the way you feel it should, address it then. To be on the look out for problems that you may have heard others having is only going to make you worry and probably think you have found a problem where none may exist.

What changes are required for OSS note 456507

Hi All,
PLease advise me what changes are required for OSS note 456507 (Assign the function groups QOWK or ORFC in the authorization object S_RFC to tRFC/qRFC users).
Im thinking of just going with the following additions to Role
AAAB Cross Application Auth Objects
S_RFC
Activity 16
Name of RFC - *
Type of RFC - *
But wanted to check what the implications of doing such a thing were, are there any negative points that you can think of opening up the access as above, as opposed to what was suggested in the OSS note?
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Sandhya.

Hello Sandhya,
S_RFC is needed in case of making any RFC calls.
Normally it is needed for users that are mentioned in RFC destinations.
As such mostly these users are system/communication users or super users.
Without giving access to function groups through S_RFC successful RFC call can´not be done.
Now the value of field name of RFC can be * but only for those users which are really global super users. In case you need this authorization for any selective functionality as in you case only for function groups QOWK or ORFC then you should try to restrict the access. Negatiity is only that in case of * the authorization access increases but for system or super users you dont need to worry too much really because with system/communication users no one can login and the super users will have sap_all generally. Also their passwords will be a well kept secret so that a miususe can not be made.
By global super users I mean users which are used for various types of activites.
Please award points accordingly.
Regards.
Ruchit.

I want to be the only one who can access my profile, so how to create passwords for profiles (NOT for websites) ?

thanks

Maybe use the portable Firefox version on a USB stick if you want to prevent access to your profile.<br />
Solutions that use an extension can easily be bypassed by starting in [[Safe mode]].<br />
Otherwise you need to locate the Firefox profile folder on an encrypted drive.

Buying a used iMac G5, tips and things to look out for?

What tips could you guys give me on when looking for a used iMac G5? I like the 20" models specifically and it seems the models are all over 1.6GHz so the speeds are fine.
I currently own a G4 1.67 PowerBook and did a bit of reading up on that before I bought it, seeing what things to look out for what things turned faulty after a while and such. Such as the logic board and the 1 RAM slot going faulty on a few models, recalled batteries, which helped a lot in buying a used one.
I'm looking for a new desktop but can't afford to fork out over 1 grand for the new iMac's and the speed of my PowerBook is enough for my usual browsing and processing and few photos. So please don't bother telling me to buy a new one cos new is always best, I don't mind spending reasonably less and having a decent machine still - 1.67 15" PowerBook has proved well :P

Don't buy a new intel. buy a refurbished one from Apple. The PPC architecture is on its way out, few programs are being written for it, and most new applications are only for intel. I realize that even a refurb might cost a bit more than you planned to spend, but it will be worth it down the road.
Look in the [Apple Store|http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac?mco=MTE3NjY], the choice changes daily, so just keep you eye open for the one you want and snap it up. And get Apple Care as well.
Let us know what you ended up with please,

How to find the right OSS Note for my SAP version

Hi All,
There have been issues with the Vendor/Material Master records whenever we run a LSMW by recording process. It is such that all those fields that we have not updated come up with a value as *DELETED* for which i think we should implement a OSS Note to our system.
I am unable to find the right OSS Note Number for this to our SAP system :
SAP_APPL Support Pack: SAPKH50009 Components:Logistics & Accounting.
Request you all to provide me with the correct OSS Note Number so that we can get this issue corrected as this has become very critical.

Hi,
As Jurgen wrote - it could be some programming problem.
But, generally, if you find a SAP Note, that, in your opinion, can solve your SAP problem and it is not intended for your SAP version - simply write to SAP OSS.
If this note really solves your problem, they will extend the validity of this note for your SAP version.
Otherwise, if it is SAP problem, OSS will try to provide solution for it.
I usually act like this - it works.
Hope it helps, not this time, maybe in the future.
Regards,
Wojciech

Aggregates...How to find out for a query..Any TC??

Hi friends,
How to find out whether the query is using aggregates or not, which are built on its base cube. Is there any TCode for it to know?. Without going to Infocube maintenance tab, can we know whether queries use aggegates???
Thanks
Murthy

Go to RSRT transcation in bw
there u select the query on cube where u created an aggergates click Execute+debug(you vl be presented with select"show aggregates used"also check Nochache now click the tickmark.
It vl show you how many aggegates are there for the cubes and how many aggegates are used for the particular query used .Go to table RSDDSTAT this shows every navigational step for a query and vch aggregates it used.
thanks
