ARI Quiz, staying or going? I learned today that I have to pay another $75 for the quiz software to renew the license (which is only good for a year) I am looking at alternatives. I would like to find a quiz software that will work with vBulletin but I am not having any luck with that test. So what I may end up doing is finding a stand alone product which will require anyone wanting to take the test to register seperatly from vBulletin OR I may invest in Quiz Creator which will create Flash quizes you can really add to any site and I may be able to embed the flash quiz in my vBulletin forum.

SYN scans (-sS) are the workhorse of scanning methods. They are also called "half-open" scans because you simply send a SYN packet, look for the return SYN|ACK (open) or RST (closed) packet and then you tear down the connction before sending the ACK that would normally finish the TCP 3-way handshake. These scans don't depend on the characteristics of the target TCP stack and will work anytime a connect() scan would have worked. They are also harder to detect -- TCP-wrappers or anything outside of the kernel shouldn't be able to pick up these scans -- packet filters like ipfwadm or a firewall can though. If a box is being filtered NMAP's SYN scan will detect this and report ports which are being filtered. EXAMPLE: The option -sT to nmap tells it to run a standard TCP connect scan -- basically, "what TCP services are advertised". The following command will run a FIN scan using a spoofed source port number of 25 (SMTP) saving the output to file firewallreport.txt. nmap -sF -g 25 -oN firewallreport.txt www.yoursite.com The following command wil audit your firewall by randomized port order, in addition to randomizing the order in which hosts are scanned by using the randomize-hosts option, which can be abbreviated to –rH. This, combined with slow timing options, will make any network monitoring devices you have work hard to detect the scan nmap -sS --scan-delay 500 -f -rH firewallreport.txt www.yoursite.com

The following will go over how to test Firewall Rules using nmap Type of Rule Port(s) - Open/Allowed or Closed/Blocked Source - Based using a source IP address Destination - Based on destination IP address Transport Layer - ICMP blocked/allowed Then we will go over how to test the nmap commands using your Linksys Router's built in firewall. We will also look into using the firewall on the Ubuntu BootCD for testing (which would require another laptop)

Our Final Answer.... Front end (Sales) will be Joomla sites. Why? Mostly because Joomla does a wonderful job at a clean front end but what Joomla doesn't have is a mega powerful forum like vBulletin. So our front-end will remain Joomla http://www.mywiseguys.com http://www.djzah.com And our social headquarters will remain being our mega powerful forum, IPB (use to be vBulletin) http://community.mywiseguys.com This is the best setup for us. We don't have login capability for users on the Joomla sites, only the forum which is the only place for input. Of course all the goodies that were in Joomla are in IPB to include Blogs Social Groups Gallery Garage Classifieds The only missing item from vBulletin is the quiz capability which I am still hunting for.
