Is it possible for a guest system to spy host system when using virtual maschine?

Hi all,
I want to prepare virtual maschine which will be used to connect through vpn with one of my clients. There are some other programs and devices that I have to install in order all of this to work. However there is a security concern. On host system I've mailbox and other stuff from my corporation. Is there any way
that guest system will successfully try in any way to monitor what is happening on host system (for example by reading emails, checking network trafic, doing screenshots and so on)?
any help appreciated

  • Best practices for ZFS file systems when using live upgrade?

    I would like feedback on how to layout the ZFS file system to deal with files that are constantly changing during the Live Upgrade process. For the rest of this post, lets assume I am building a very active FreeRadius server with log files that are constantly updating and must be preserved in any boot environment during the LU process.
    Here is the ZFS layout I have come up with (swap, home, etc omitted):
    NAME                                USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
    rpool                              11.0G  52.0G    94K  /rpool
    rpool/ROOT                         4.80G  52.0G    18K  legacy
    rpool/ROOT/boot1                   4.80G  52.0G  4.28G  /
    rpool/ROOT/boot1/zones-root         534M  52.0G    20K  /zones-root
    rpool/ROOT/boot1/zones-root/zone1   534M  52.0G   534M  /zones-root/zone1
    rpool/zone-data                      37K  52.0G    19K  /zones-data
    rpool/zone-data/zone1-runtime        18K  52.0G    18K  /zones-data/zone1-runtimeThere are 2 key components here:
    1) The ROOT file system - This stores the / file systems of the local and global zones.
    2) The zone-data file system - This stores the data that will be changing within the local zones.
    Here is the configuration for the zone itself:
    <zone name="zone1" zonepath="/zones-root/zone1" autoboot="true" bootargs="-m verbose">
      <inherited-pkg-dir directory="/lib"/>
      <inherited-pkg-dir directory="/platform"/>
      <inherited-pkg-dir directory="/sbin"/>
      <inherited-pkg-dir directory="/usr"/>
      <filesystem special="/zones-data/zone1-runtime" directory="/runtime" type="lofs"/>
      <network address="192.168.0.1" physical="e1000g0"/>
    </zone>The key components here are:
    1) The local zone / is shared in the same file system as global zone /
    2) The /runtime file system in the local zone is stored outside of the global rpool/ROOT file system in order to maintain data that changes across the live upgrade boot environments.
    The system (local and global zone) will operate like this:
    The global zone is used to manage zones only.
    Application software that has constantly changing data will be installed in the /runtime directory within the local zone. For example, FreeRadius will be installed in: /runtime/freeradius
    During a live upgrade the / file system in both the local and global zones will get updated, while /runtime is mounted untouched in whatever boot environment that is loaded.
    Does this make sense? Is there a better way to accomplish what I am looking for? This this setup going to cause any problems?
    What I would really like is to not have to worry about any of this and just install the application software where ever the software supplier sets it defaults to. It would be great if this system somehow magically knows to leave my changing data alone across boot environments.
    Thanks in advance for your feedback!

    Hello "jemurray".
    Have you read this document? (page 198)
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7013?l=en
    Then the solution is:
    01.- Create an alternate boot enviroment
    a.- In a new rpool
    b.- In the same rpool
    02.- Upgrade this new enviroment
    03.- Then I've seen that you have the "radious-zone" in a sparse zone (it's that right??) so, when you update the alternate boot enviroment you will (at the same time) upgrading the "radious-zone".
    This maybe sound easy but you should be carefull, please try this in a development enviroment
    Good luck

  • Is it possible for a iPod touch to get a virus when downloading free games off the internet? If yes, is there an antivirus program to protect the ipod. and can some of the current apps be saved from the virus damage?

    Is it possible for a iPod touch to get a virus when downloading free games off the internet? If yes, is there an antivirus program to protect the ipod. and can some of the current apps be saved from the virus damage?

    I had one game permanently just stop working, it usually does crash, but that last time it just went bad, I don't know the reason, I tried powering off iPod, relaunching game, but the game never worked again. I think it corrupted its own save file or some of its own data.
    Have you tried another game or app, do those work? If they do, then I guess you know where the problem lies, but if they all stop working, then what about apps, can apps launch?
    Lastly, apps from the app store are checked by Apple, so they are clean.

  • Time machine on Lion crashes the whole system when used with external HD

    Hi all,
    Anybody got the same problem? I did a Time Machine backup just before I did the upgrade to Lion (using an external USB HDD) after the upgrade (that went well in my opinion) when I ask TM to do another backup it stays on "Preparing" indefenately and ultimately crashes the whole system ( reset with ctrl+cmd+power button) is required otherwhise the system stays non reactive.
    Regards,
    Iwan

    Start by verifying your internal HD, and repair your backups, per #6 in Using Disk Utility.
    If that doesn't help, see #D6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for a possible way to cancel the backup.  If that works, use the widget in #A1 there to display the backup messages from your logs.  Locate the backup in question, then copy and post all the messages here.

  • Default Privilege Level for ASA users authenticated by Radius or TACACS when using ASDM

    Hello,
    I'm trying to figure out what the default privilege level is for users that are authenticated to the ASA via a remote authentication server when using the ASDM.
    the command "aaa authentication http console TACACS+ LOCAL" is used in the ASA config.
    The remote server is NOT setting any privilege levels for users.  There are also no aaa authorization commands present in the config.
    So what privilege level do the users receive when they login with the ASDM?  I'm being told that the users receive admin access which includes config write, reboot, and debug.  But I cannot find any documentation stating hte default level.
    Please advise.  And providing links to cisco documentation would be great too.
    Thanks,
    Brendan

    Hi Berendan,
    Hope the below exerpt from document clarifies your query. also i have provided the link to refer.
    About Authorization
    Authorization controls access per user after users authenticate. You can configure the security appliance to authorize the following items:
    •Management commands
    •Network access
    •VPN access
    Authorization controls the services and commands available to each authenticated user. Were you not to enable authorization, authentication alone would provide the same access to services for all authenticated users.
    If you need the control that authorization provides, you can configure a broad authentication rule, and then have a detailed authorization configuration. For example, you authenticate inside users who attempt to access any server on the outside network and then limit the outside servers that a particular user can access using authorization.
    The security appliance caches the first 16 authorization requests per user, so if the user accesses the same services during the current authentication session, the security appliance does not resend the request to the authorization server.

  • Is it possible for non-sap systems to consume BDOCs without conversion?

    Hi All,
    I am new to CRM. I use SAP Jco API's to connect to SAP from my java application. Similarly now i want to connect to CRM.
    Basically the required is to consume or send BDOC across Java application (non-sap system) and SAP CRM.
    1. Is there a way to fetch the BDOC info from Jco API's and then consume them in Java application?
    2. I read about XIF adapter in CRM, It says convert BDOC to IDOC.
    Can you tell me if BDOC's can be sent out of SAP to non-sap systems as is without convert to IDOC or should it be always i have to convert to IDOC/XML to consume from non-sap systems ?
    You quick reply is greatly apprciated.

  • Cluster Quorum Disk failing inside Guest cluster VMs in Hyper-V Cluster using Virtual Disk Sharing Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hi, I'm having a problem in a VM Guest cluster using Windows Server 2012 R2 and virtual disk sharing enabled. 
    It's a SQL 2012 cluster, which has around 10 vhdx disks shared this way. all the VHDX files are inside LUNs on a SAN. These LUNs are presented to all clustered members of the Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V cluster, via Cluster Shared Volumes.
    Yesterday happened a very strange problem, both the Quorum Disk and the DTC disks got the information completetly erased. The vhdx disks themselves where there, but the info inside was gone.
    The SQL admin had to recreated both disks, but now we don't know if this issue was related to the virtualization platform or another event inside the cluster itself.
    Right now I'm seen this errors on one of the VM Guest:

  • Photoshop CS5.1 64-bit crashes whole system when using Wacom Cintiq 13HD

    Hello,
    I've got a big problem and Wacom Support/Forum wasn't really that helpful at all, so I hope someone here has the answer.
    I'm using:
    - Windows 7 Premium 64-bit with Service Pack 1
    - Intel i7-267OQM 2,2 Ghz CPU
    - Nvidia GeForce GT 635M 2GB
    - 8GB RAM
    - Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 64-bit
    - on an ASUS N55S Laptop
    My new Wacom Cintiq 13HD runs just fine while just browsing on the internet, with Adobe Illustrator (so far...) and Easy Paint Tool SAI.
    But everytime I open my Photoshop it's just some minutes before my system freezes for a second, than blue screen appears und my whole
    System crashes down. Every. damn. Time.
    I read in the Wacom Forum that more people have this problem, but all suggested solutions by Wacom just don't work.
    Here's the link: http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14060
    The one thing I didn't try is using the USB Extensions, so I will buy some tomorow and try that too.
    But maybe someone has an other idea that could help?
    I tried all drivers Wacom has avaible but it still happens. I updated my Adobe Softwares, my BIOS, my graphic card, I restarted countless times,
    but nothing seems to work.
    Help me, please!

    /Karl
    InDesign's pasteboard, bleed, and slug areas are independent for each document page. Running header text variables in these areas can capture sources on document pages. If you place a text frame with a character style for the layer name, and a character style for the language name, on a layer, and capture them in a character-style-based running header in the slug, for example, the source from whichever layer is visible will appear in the running header in the slug area. Similarly, you can capture other text variables for page number, filename, date/time, etc.
    It may take a little fussing to set it up the first time, but thereafter when you change layer visibility, the visible layer name changes automatically.
    NOTE: Text frames on master page pasteboards, bleed, or slug areas do not appear on document pages unless they also touch the document page border.

  • Losing URL in the remote system when using SOFM

    Dear WF Group,
    We have a workflow that is created in our cProjects system that starts a remote workflow via RFC in our main R3 system with data that is passed over from cProjects.
    One piece of data that is passed is the URL link to the specific project in cProjects. This works about 50% of the time.  In those times it does not work, there is sometimes a enqueue error saying that the work item is locked by user WF-BATCH.  Sometimes there is no error, it just fails to create the URL attachment.
    The basic program flow is:
    Create workflow using  function module SAP_WAPI_START_WORKFLOW
    Attach the URL using function module: ZSWL_SOFM_CREATE_WITH_TABLE
    This is similar to the posted question u201CAttachment of SOFM type before triggering a WFu201D, but I didnu2019t understand the answer in relation to our issue.

  • Logout crashes system when using fglrx [SOLVED]

    Hi guys,
    I admit I'm a little annoyed about X related issues with Arch on my thinkpad T400, none of choice is working totally fine on it now. It has ATI HD3470 discrete card and Intel X4500 integrated card, I've tried all available dirvers: xf86-video-ati, xf86-video-radeonhd, catalyst(fglrx) and xf86-video-intel. Here are problem descriptions:
    1, Intel X4500 + xf86-video-intel
    This scheme is the best working choice at present. Everything is fine, except cannot pass 3D acceleration test in Cedega. glxinfo shows direct rendering is "yes", and openGL direct rendering test in Cedega is passed. With 3D acceleration test failed, I cannot run any games in it. Glxgears shows 420FPS with Intel X4500
    2, ATI HD3470 + xf86-video-ati / xf86-video-radeonhd
    Annoying! I'm not sure how well the open source driver support my card, surely they are working, but only provide very basically performance. 3D acceleration test in Cedega cannot pass either, while direct rendering is "yes" in glxinfo too! Besides this, the really annoying thing is laptop FAN is keep running with these two drivers, even CPU occupation is ZERO. Glxgears shows 370FPS with radeon or radeonhd.
    3, ATI HD3470 + catalyst
    This scheme provides best performance, that 3D acceleration test in Cedega can pass, and the game plays smoothly. However, this driver has a frustrated problem: It works fine when first boot up, but if I logout, then X would crash to a black screen, and both keyboard and mouse lost response. Only press power button for 3 seconds to hardly shutdown can leave the mess. More details can refer to: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=62413
    Glxgears shows 1200FPS with fglrx.
    I guess a comparison is suitable here, with fglrx+ubuntu installed on this laptop, Glxgears shows 3200FPS, and it works totally fine without logging out to black screen problem either. I'm a newbie switched from Ubuntu to Arch, I love the Arch way. But I have to say, I DO NOT like the Arch's X way.
    Hope someone who has the same hardware or even the same laptop can help me. Though I don't like to configure X, I like the feeling manually solve problems. Any advice or suggestion or even criticism will be highly appreciated. My xorg.conf are attached in pastebin:
    xorg.conf_intel: http://pastebin.com/f49274228

    I reinstalled catalyst and now using fglrx driver. I reproduced the problem and paste X server log here, I hope anyone have or had this problem would come on to solve this, seems this problems is old, common and nasty all together.

    2, Boot up and login gnome will succeed every time.
    3, Logout:
    3.1 If using GDM
          Logout then it goes into a black screen, both keyboard and mouse lost response, only hard shutdown helps.
    3.2 If on runlevel 3
          Logout succeeds, will back into user console. Log into normal users in other consoles succeeds. If now run startx, it will generate above quoted error: "Fatal Server Error: Caught signal 4". After this, commands such as su, ps, sudo, or as root log into other consoles will cause Segment Fault, or even Kernel panic. As these situations happen, only hard shutdown helps.
    I've also tried these workarounds found with google or in other forums:
    1, Edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf to set X server always restart value equal 1.
        Does not help. Actually, this problem might not caused by gdm, because I boot into runlevel 3 would also have this problem.
    2, Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to add "nopat" option into kernel line
        Does not help, the problem remains.
    3, Build catalyst 8.11 with ABS
        Does not help, with catalyst-8.11 X will boot into black screen for the first time too. I'm not sure if I build it correctly, it has a 2.6.27.patch in abs, but I'm using 2.6.28 kernel.
    4, Use D-sub instead of DVI
        I'm on LAPTOP, don't have a choice to change to D-sub connector, so I don't know if this help.
    5, Remove .Xauthority file or edit /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh file as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy … bug/118605 suggests
        Does not help either, It might not be X authority's problem. But I'm not quite sure.
    Alright, I hope these details have made myself clear, because of my poor English. Hope you guys help, thanks in advance!
