kw801 : Cross platform security.

We start off season 8 with a great topic on Cross platform security. Many of us think that we are safe from mall ware or viruses because we don’t use vulnerable operating systems. Good friend of the show Emmet Steward is here to tell us, that this is not the case. We talk about cross-platform security hazards and, more importantly, how to protect your system and be safe.
 
Emmet also talks about a great course called ‘Hackitplus’ where you can enrol to be a white hat hacker and learn all about penetration testing, security and … ethical hacking. 
 
We also have Konrad Dwojaks weekly photography tip : This time on keeping your gear safe in cold weather.
All in all : a great show to kick off season 8 of Knightwise.com

Carry ‘Switchblade’ and save any PC.

Live Cd’s are a blessing. Whenever you arrive at that family dinner and get shuffled into a stuffy corner to fix another dinky pc.. You KNOW you need help. Sure, there are plenty of live cd’s out there (The list in Distrowatch is quite endless) and each live CD has its own specific skills and thrills.  However not all of them are geared towards “fixing” a Windows PC.

Enter Switchblade, A 220 megabyte gift from whatever digital deity we pray to. The simple ‘push here to preform instant magic’ interface  to this “live application” that you can run from a Usb drive, will have you fix the most common quirks and aches any pc might suffer from.

With the ability to backup drivers, install Windows patches, Ccleaner or quicky find drivers online, Switchblade can save you enough time to make it back to the dinnertable for the main course. In combination with the Ninite installer and some handy automated command line commands ‘ chksdk c: /f /r ‘ and ‘defrag c: -f ‘ you will have the PC crunching numbers while you get to much down on potatoes and yams.
