Keeping ourselves or business safe from threats - asking for recommendations

  • DNS Benchmark v2 is Finished and Available!
    Guest:
    That's right. It took an entire year, but the result far more accurate and feature laden than we originally planned. The world now has a universal, multi-protocol, super-accurate, DNS resolver performance-measuring tool. This major second version is not free. But the deal is, purchase it once for $9.95 and you own it — and it's entire future — without ever being asked to pay anything more. For an overview list of features and more, please see The DNS Benchmark page at GRC. If you decide to make it your own, thanks in advance. It's a piece of work I'm proud to offer for sale. And if you should have any questions, many of the people who have been using and testing it throughout the past year often hang out here.

  • BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware

    To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.

    GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.

    The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.

    You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.

    (You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)

It crossed my mind today while thinking about what @Steve process must be like to research whats happened in security each week, that I really need a better collection of sources for these sorts of things.

Currently I keep an RSS folder which has subs to a few different security notices for OSs.

Can anyone suggest a list, service, site or behavior I should have to make being in the security know perfection?

How wonderful a service would be where I register the makers and devices in my home and it notifies me when something critical or important has happened?

Thanks everyone!
Jesse
 
I don't have a specific source to recommend. But it's certainly not feasible to watch for anything at all times. You might be able to react better by filtering security news and articles by the specific products you actually use. A filtered news feeds both from the manufacturer and the general media.

Don't misunderstand my meaning. I meant it in the context of "I didn't spend a lot of time on researching this, but this result seemed suitable and I recognized enough of the content to consider passing it on, with the warning that I am not vouching for the site/content personally."
