What is the security key?

I don't know my security key. I have tried my id and password with noo success.......HELP, please.

sounds like you mean your wifi networks encryption password
as stated non of the rest of us renember your password
if you never changed it then maybe the manual you got with your wifi router tell the default password
otherwise you can connect the appletv by ethernet then the encryption key is not required

What Are the Security Implications of not Completely Signing Database?

Hello everyone,
What are the security implications of not completely signing the database?
From http://www.archlinux.org/pacman/ ,
The following quote implies that the database exists merely just in case hand tweaking is necessary:
maintains a text-based package database (more of a hierarchy), just in case some hand tweaking is necessary.
However, considering that there are cases that pacman's local database needs to be restored, there are implications that the database is essential for pacman to function properly.
From https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ho … l_Database :
Restore pacman's local database
Signs that pacman needs a local database restoration:
- pacman -Q gives absolutely no output, and pacman -Syu erroneously reports that the system is up to date.
- When trying to install a package using pacman -S package, and it outputs a list of already satisfied dependencies.
- When testdb (part of pacman) reports database inconsistency.
Most likely, pacman's database of installed software, /var/lib/pacman/local, has been corrupted or deleted. While this is a serious problem, it can be restored by following the instructions below.
I know that all official packages (from core, extra, community, etc.) are signed so that all files should be safe, but I'm just paranoid.
What if the database was hacked? Will this lead to installation of harmful software?
Sincerely,
Cylinder57

From this quote:

Is it going to be easy for anyone other than the authorized user to modify the local package database?
Allan basically answered that with the quote above already as I understand it. Someone who has access to the installation, e.g. is able chrooting your PC via USB, is not held back by any ACLs. However, modifying the local database only makes limited sense because the packages are already installed. Pacman would only recheck, if you re-install a package. The only really relevant attack vector for the package database is
(1) installing an older package with a vulnerability,
(2) re-placing the up-to-date package sig in the local database with the older one and
(3) modifying the system, e.g. via pacman.conf excludes, to not update that.
then also re-installing would not create a sig-error and you get stuck with the bogus old package.
With a signed database this would not be possible. However, as Allan wrote earlier also with a signed database that criminal can manually install (totally leaving pacman & package cache) whatever it needs in this scenario. So, if you are -really- paranoid about that, you probably want to spend (a lot of configuring) time with something like the "aide" package.
Cylinder57 wrote:
And, are the following statements correct:
If the repository databases are modified, the hacker might be able to modify the packages on the server (Considering that if someone can modify the local package database, that person can modify any other piece of software on that particular computer.)
However, pacman won't let users from installing the modified packages (due to package signing,) unless at one person with access is bribed (at least, for an individual package.)
I don't know the intricacies of the server infrastructure - only saw they have great names :-), but I am pretty certain your statements assume that correctly. It is pretty unlikely that someone able to modify the central repository database fails at placing a bogus package for shipping with those access rights at this time. Yet it does no harm not to post any details of such a scenario here imo. In any case: A compromised mirror would be enough for that - and easier to achieve (hacked anywhere or e.g. in a non-democratic state). Plus you also answered it yourself. The keys are key for our safety there. Which keeps me hoping that no criminal lawnmover salesmen frequent the Brisbane area.
As you put up a thread about this, one question you can ask yourself is:
Have you always checked on updates new signatures keys which pacman asks about? If you ever pressed "accept/enter" without checking them out-of-band (e.g. the webserver), that compromised mirror database might have just created a "legitimate" key .. user error, but another attack vector the database signing would catch.
edit: Re-thinking the last paragraph just after posting, I now believe it would not be that easy as implied - simply because the bogus key is not trusted by one of the master keys. The pacman pgp trust model should catch that without database signing. At least it would if only the official repositories are activated, but that's a pre-requisite to the whole thread.

What is a security key

What is a security key? How do I know what my security key is??

If you are referring to a WiFi "security key", and if you are using a Comcast supplied gateway device, and if it hasn't been changed from its default value, it is on a label on the bottom. It's called the "Network Key" on that label.

HT4628 where is the security key?

where is the security key?

"Security key" is a term that some manufacturers use for your wireless network password or passcode.
In rare circumstances some products might require the actual 64 digit hex code that is generated by the password. If your device is asking for a very long code of numbers and letters, post back to tell us what operating system you are using on your computer.
I've never had to use the hex code in 20+ years, but you never know.

I need help changing the security key for WRT54G2 1.5

I already know the security key on my network, I just need to change it. I don't have 'cisco connect'. I've tried the web based method with the 192.168.1.1 IP and using 'admin' for the password, but that gives me a '401 Not Authorized' error. I've tried using my own security key instead of 'admin' and that doesn't work either. How do I change this. I tried to use the Linsky's knowledgebase and that didn't help. Live Chat won't help unless I'm willing to sign-up for some paid service plan, and there is no way I'm doing that. I've never heard of a company charging their customers just to explain how to do something. All I have is a simple question about how to change the network security key when I already know what it is and there is no problem with the connection. Can anyone help me. PLEASE.

If admin didn’t work, it’s possible that you might have setup a different password to login to the setup of the router when you initially set it up. Since admin and your security key didn’t work when you tried accessing your router page, the other option for you then is to reset the router. Push and hold the reset button on the router using a pin or a paper clip for 30 seconds and unplug the power cord for another 30 seconds. Once the power light goes solid, you may start reconfiguring the settings of the router. For instructions, refer to these links: Setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service & Setting up a Linksys router for DSL Internet connection. Once you establish the wired internet connection, you may then start reconfiguring the wireless settings. Go to the Wireless tab: set the wireless configuration to manual; set a network name; then save the settings. Once saved, click on Wireless Security subtab: set the security mode to WPA2 Personal and enter a new security key on the passphrase bar.

Where do I look for the security key when I download an item. Your website says your key is 0xD0261077?

Your question is somewhat terse, and I might infer you're conflating the PGP key used for Apple security-related email communications with cryptographic hashes (message digests) used to verify the integrity and the origin of files, and with digitally-signed binaries. While these areas are somewhat related, details vary. (If you're already familiar with this stuff, my apologies.)
The Apple PGP key is used to sign (verify) messages from the security folks at Apple, and can be to encrypt messages sent to the Apple security folks. See this Apple Security PGP web page for details on using the PGP key for message verification and for message encryption.
File downloads are implemented differently, and will generally involve a particular cryptographic hash or message digest (and not necessarily a PGP key), and what might be used used varies by the particular website and the download involved, with some sites using the older and insecure MD5, and with others increasingly using some variation of the less-insecure SHA cryptographic hash. Depending on the scheme used, these can protect against corruptions, or can also be used to sign the binaries. The system that Apple is encouraging developers to use is called Developer ID.
Shell commands used and useful here include md5 and various openssl commands for the sha hashes/digests.
If you have a particular public web site or file download, post a pointer and I'll have a look.

I don't believe there is a keyboard shortcut available for that feature. But I believe if you click-select the topmost chapter, and Shift-click the bottommost chapter, it should select them all.
Other shortcuts for books can be set up in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts in the Panel Menus product area. There are no default shortcuts in that area.

How to find out what is the lock key for the computer

How to find out what is the lock key for the computer?

You don't.
If you forgot or lost the password, all you can practically do is reset it.
The manner in which you do so depends on what version of OS X you are running. The older versions utilize the reset password utility on your recovery/re-installation disk/drive.
On Lion, you use the following technique to reset the Administrators password:
Boot to your Lion Recovery Partition, by holding down the Option key while starting, and then selecting the Recovery HD as the boot choice.
Once booted, at the top of the screen is a menu ..., select Utilities / Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, type “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A “Reset Password” window will open. Select your boot volume (your SSD drive) if it is not already selected. Select your administrators username from the menu labeled “Select the user account” if it is not already selected. Follow the prompts to reset the password. Restart the computer from the apple menu.

What are the security settings to lock down a form with fillable fields and yet allow someone with Reader to fill in the fields as will as save the form and print it?

You want to allow someone to open your document and fill out the form (in the fields you have created), but not change or edit the form, right? Here's the answer - assuming you are using Acrobat Pro and someone will be opening the PDF using at least Acrobat Reader 9 and up:
Tools > Protection > Encrypt < Encrypt with Password
Answer YES to change the security.
A new window opens:
     Do NOT select Document Open (or that will require a password to open the document.)
     Select: Permissions (Check the box next to "Restrict editing and printing of the document.")
     Change the following 2 settings from the drop-down box:
          Printing Allowed: Select High Resolution
          Changes Allowed: Select Commenting, filling in form fields, and signing signature fields
          Leave selected: "Enable text access for screen reader devices for the visually impaired"
          Change Permissions Password (insert a strong password)
          Leave all other settings alone in "Options"
          OK - OK
          Re-enter the Permissions Password (the one you entered above)
          OK - OK
          Save the PDF to apply the security [notice that (SECURED0 will appear after the document title]

What is the input "key" in the IMAQ Write Custom Data palette?

Hello!
I am not able to use correctly the IMAQ Write Custom Data palette because I do not know what is the input "key".
Does anyone know its meaning?

Thank you for replying Ninad Regundwar!
I agree with this. I have already read this information in the LabView Help.
However, I would like to know what is the "key" specifically. I know that it is a string.
I have written a code to add some acquisition features in a PNG Image File. For this, I have used the following palettes: IMAQ Write File 2 - PNG with Vision Info and IMAQ Write Custom Data.
Afterwards, I have written another code to read the acquisition features from this PNG Image File. For this one, I have used the following palettes: IMAQ Read Image and Vision Information and IMAQ Read Custom Data.
But, when I am reading the acquisition features, an error message appears: "ERROR -1074395723 occurred at IMAQ Read Custom Data - IMAQ Vision: The key you specified cannot be found in the image"
I do not know what I have to put in the input "key". So, I have been trying different values for it: "data", "hello", "13", "56", etc. But, none of these has worked and the same message has appeared.
Does someone know what I have to put in the input "key"? Does someone have an example that shows how to use the palettes: "IMAQ Write Custom Data" and "IMAQ Read Custom Data" correctly?

What are the security implications of having JAVA running on my Mac Book Pro?

What are the security implications of having JAVA running on my Mac Book Pro?

Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
