Is the 2950 secure?

Hello,
In my opinion, any network device that is considered obsolete is also considered insecure in today's world. If I am wrong, please correct me on this.
If a Cisco 2950 switch that went EOL/EOS over 13 years ago is secure enough to put at the edge of a network, can someone explain how and why to me?
Thank you in Advance.

If a layer 2 switch (such as the 2950) is only needed for external connectivity and has no control plane exposure or special access into your interior network, it can function with quite adequate security for the network edge.
You should have security controls both upstream and downstream of it that perform the significant edge security functions. Generally an external-only switch does not need to do anything security-wise other than protect itself from security-related attacks. Without a control plane exposure (i.e. no publicly addressable interface, no snmp services etc.) it can do a decent job at that.

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

Outlook 2013 - Password change breaks S/MIME Certs "An error occurred in the underlying security system. Key not valid for us in specified state."

AD password change comes up, user changes password.
Tries to send signed or encrypted email with a Comodo S/MIME certificate, and gets the following error:
""An error occurred in the underlying security system. Key not valid for us in specified state."
I now have two reports of this error - one on Windows 7, and one on Windows 8.0 (remote user).
The one on Windows 8.0, we tried removing their S/MIME cert from Outlook/Windows and re-adding, this did NOT resolve the issue.
Plan was originally to have the 8.0 user ship their machine in, and wipe it, since nothing else could fix it and I wasn't finding anyone else with the same issue. Now that I've got a second user with the same issue, its looking like a bug/issue and
not a random glitch.
Thanks in advance for any and all help with this!

1. try passing the non encoded token e.g. BOToken = enterpriseSession.getLogonTokenMgr().createLogonToken("", 120, 100);
2. try using getDefaultToken() and see if that works.

After removing the "Live Security Platinum" virus, Firefox crashes every time I close it and it runs very slowly (v14.0.1). Is there any way to fix this?

Firefox doesn't exactly crash while I'm using it. The thing is that when I close it and reopen it, it says it crashed and offers to restore the previous session. To my knowledge, this didn't happen until after I had the "Live Security Platinum" virus and removed it. Firefox is also very, very slow. Has anyone else had this particular problem?

Hi there, sorry about your problems. It could be that the virus remover didn't fully clean up Firefox.
Try the Reset Firefox feature, which should restore it back to a normal working state without removing your personal data such as bookmarks: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems?s=reset+firefox&r=0&e=es&as=s#os=mac&browser=fx13

How do I deal with "StartUpItems if2k" has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings?

Whenever I turn on or restart my MBP, a dialog box appears saying --> “/Library/StartupItems/if2k” has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings.
How can I fix this?
First, I searched online and found a site with a If2k_Remover_V2.zip file, but whenever I try to open the link, a page comes up saying,
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /w/files/if2k/If2k_Remover_V2.zip on this server.
Any thoughts on this?
Also, I see the if2k folder in the Library/StartUpItems; is it something I can just drag into the Trash? Or would that be a bad move?

Did you ever figure this out? I just upgraded to Lion on my Air and I have the same issue.

Is there a way to reinstall the Internet Security Suite?

I've had to install a completely new hard drive into my computer, so naturally I don't have the security suite on it. I've had the suite installed on my old hard drive, which I lost to a power surge, and even then I had lost the suite before. However, I was able to reinstall it by myself on the old hard drive once, but now I can't do it that way with my new hard drive. Do I have to call Verizon to send someone to reinstall it for me?
I ordered the Internet Security Suite when I got FiOS last year, so I've already had it. I just need to get it on this hard drive without having to pay for it again.
Any help?
P.S. I'm not exactly sure how I was able to reinstall it that time before, so don't ask. Thank you in advance.

Grace_bestowed,
No you don't need anyone to come out. Go to www.verizon.net then click on My account. From there you will click the manage my broadband Essentials and that's right where it will be to allow you to install it.

How can I be sure the popups asking for my master password come from the Software Security Device ?

I did setup a master password on my Firefox. I therefore have the Software Security Device asking for my master password now and then as a popup, but I have no way to be sure that the popup is coming from the Software Security Device.
How can I be sure that it's not coming from a website or an extension trying to steal my passwords ?

That message will not be from Mozilla, there are rogue sites that use this method to try to get people to install malware/viruses/trojans. Do not install anything from that site.

Thanks!

Uninstall any Intego junk according to its instructions and ensure that all its components have been completely eradicated from your Mac. You may need to download Intego's installer so that you can run its uninstaller.
Intego will make your Mac run very poorly, unacceptably so. Never install such junk on a Mac.

Popup with the text "Security Breach" in Safari

My son told me he saw a popup with the text "Security Breach" when visiting a website. He is concerned that his phone may be compromized. He is using Safari, iOS 6.0.1 on a iPhone 4S. The was a n OK button on the popup. He pressed it and the popup disappeared. Is there serious danger here?

This may be caused by a problem with an add-on. Try the procedure in the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.

Hi Jani,

Error message: Count not initialize the applications security component.....

I have been receiving the following error message when trying to access Firefox:
Could not initialize the applications security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your applications profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If our continue to use this session you might see incorrect application behavior when accessing security features.
Firefox will not open any site. I am using a MacBook. The hard drive is not full. I recently had to start using a vpn to get remote access to my desktop at work. Then it wouldn't load so I had to install something to trick it into accepting the vpn. I do not recall what this was as I got this from a person at our helpdesk at work. I hadn't had any trouble for several days, then all of a sudden, Firefox won't open anything, no websites, no email, etc. I have been using Safari as so far it seems to be working. I do not wish to continue to use Safari and for portions of my job, I need to download things and using Firefox is the only browser that works with the software program I am using.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thank you very much.
