Hey Noah and/or Chris,
So I have an anxiety disorder that make giving presentations a bit dangerous for me (think, passing out and bashing your face into things) so I get accommodations from my university’s RCPD that basically just add a little legal weight to any discussions I have with teachers to set up alternatives to giving presentations. This semester one of my teachers is allowing me to make a slide deck of the research I did and record me giving the presentation in audio only and turn that in rather than actually presenting in front of the class.
I wasn’t sure how I was going to manage the recording side of things since I run Linux exclusively so none of the teacher’s suggestions would work but then I remembered you guys talking about OBS and thought, since it’s in the AUR, I’d just install it and see if it could do what I needed.

AND IT DOES! It’s exactly what I need for my final presentation and I only knew it existed because you guys talked about it so I just wanted to say thanks! It’s not the first recommendation I’ve gotten from LAS but it is the first one that helps me with school work.
So, yeah, thanks again for the (indirect) help.

Hey there Chris and Noah,

since I heard that Noah finally switched to Arch (Antergos) I decided it was time to ask this question.

How did you get hybrid graphics to work?

I have a nice 17,3″ ASUS Laptop (Intel i5-5200U, Nvidia 920M, Samsung SSD) which works just fine with every Linux-distro I’ve thrown at it so far, but the only thing that seems to work only on Ubuntu is the graphics switching.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love Ubuntu Mate (which it’s running now), but I’d rather have it run a rolling distro.

I simply cannot get it to work properly and trust me, I’ve tried everything:

• Arch Wiki
• Antergos Wiki
• Ubuntu Wiki

• forums

• opensource drivers

• proprietary drivers
• bumblebee
• prime
• lts-kernel + lts-drivers
• cutting edge kernel + cutting edge drivers

and ran into all sorts of problems:

• bumblebee is working with os-drivers, but steam does not start
• bumblebee is working with proprietary-drivers, but steam does not start
• no drivers are working
• steam does start, but only on Intel graphics

I’d like it to work like in Ubuntu where you choose the card in Nvidia-XServer-Settings, logout and log back in.

Thank you for your help and greetings from Austria (no Chris it’s not Australia)

Android phones rooted by “most serious” Linux escalation bug ever

I__ndependent security researcher David Manouchehri told Ars that this _proof-of-concept code that explo__its Dirty Cow on Android_gets devices close to root. With a few additional lines, Manouchehri’s code provides persistent root access on all five of the Android devices he has tested.

• Dirty COW and clean commit messages [LWN.net]

Dirty COW (which, naturally, has its own logo and web page, though this one is a
bit on the satirical side) is a race condition in the kernel’s memory-management
subsystem. By timing things right, a local attacker can exploit the
copy-on-write mechanism to turn a read-only mapping of a file into a
writable mapping; with that, a file that should not be writable can be
written to. It doesn’t take much imagination to see how the ability to
overwrite files could be used to escalate privileges in any of a number of
ways.

Loving deepin 15.3

Hi guys. Long term Linux user (+- 12 years), and huge openSuse and Arch Linux (Manjaro) fan. Been running Manjaro for the last couple of months. I’m always looking for a polished desktop experience. I installed the latest Deepin Linux version on my notebook. I’m blown away at how well polished this distro is.

The software store is amazing! Been running for two weeks, and loving it. I’ve never used WPS Office, always been Open Office user, and was blown away on how polished WPS Office were! Even the built in ‘guake’ like drop down terminal impressed me. I think I’ve found my new favorite distro. It almost feels ‘Apple’ like polished to me.

The one ‘niggle’ was that the default deepin file manager application is very basic. Probably the average user want’s it simple, but I quickly installed Nautilus from the app store, and replaced the dock on the bar.

Would be great if you guys did a review on Deepin 15.3. I’m stumped.

KDE Neon Developer OS Switches To Plasma Wayland By Default

KDE developers have decided to switch to Wayland by default for KDE Neon’s unstable/developer OS.

• Fedora 25 To Run Wayland By Default

This authorization corrects a bureaucratic mistake: FESCo previously authorized the change for Fedora 24, but the Workstation working group decided to defer the change to Fedora 25, then forgot to request authorization again for Fedora 25 as required. An objection was raised on the grounds that the proper change procedure was not followed, so to sidestep this objection we decided to request permission again from FESCo, which granted the request. Authorization to proceed with the change does not mean the decision to proceed has been made; the change could still be deferred, just as it was for Fedora 24.

New features in Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon

Linux Mint 17.3 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2019. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop experience more comfortable to use.

Linux Mint 17.3 available for download.

• Simplify Command-Line Package Management with APT instead of apt-get

APT, the Advanced Package Tool from the Debian project, is for managing packages by using a lot of separate tools to accomplish various tasks. In the past, users needed to know multiple command structures like apt-get, apt-cache, apt-config, and many more to utilize the full feature-set of APT.

Mozilla Wants To Split Off Its Thunderbird Email/Chat Client, Says Mitchell Baker Memo

“I believe Thunderbird should would thrive best by separating itself from reliance on Mozilla development systems and in some cases, Mozilla technology,” Baker wrote in her open memo, posted on Mozilla’s public governance forum. “The current setting isn’t stable, and we should start actively looking into how we can transition in an orderly way to a future where Thunderbird and Firefox are un-coupled.”

• Mozilla’s conundrum: What to do about Thunderbird?

What Microsoft didn’t say when announcing the new editor was how it built Visual Studio Code. In a move that might seem a little surprising, given the regular animosity between the two companies, the editor is built on top of Chromium, the open source version of Google’s Chrome browser.

The app is built using an open source desktop application framework developed by GitHub called Electron. Electron uses HTML5, JavaScript, and other Web technologies, using Chromium for presentation, and io.js (a fork of node.js) to tie it all together.

Cylance finds “SPEAR” a new spin on an 18 year old Windows vulnerability

• In 1997 Aaron Spangler discovered a flaw in Windows
• By causing a user to navigate to a file://1.2.3.4/ url in Internet Explorer, the user’s windows credentials would be sent to the remote server, to attempt to login to it
• “Redirect to SMB is a way for attackers to steal valuable user credentials by hijacking communications with legitimate web servers via man-in-the-middle attacks, then sending them to malicious SMB (server message block) servers that force them to spit out the victim’s username, domain and hashed password”
• “It’s a serious issue because stolen credentials can be used to break into private accounts, steal data, take control of PCs and establish a beachhead for moving deeper into a targeted network.”
• “Software from at least 31 companies including Adobe, Apple, Box, Microsoft, Oracle and Symantec can be exploited using this vulnerability”
• “Redirect to SMB is most likely to be used in targeted attacks by advanced actors because attackers must have control over some component of a victim’s network traffic.”
• “Less sophisticated attackers could launch Redirect to SMB attacks on shared WiFi access points at locations such as coffee shops from any computer, including mobile devices. We successfully tested this attack on a home network using a Nexus 7 loaded with all required tools.”
• “While the user credentials sent over SMB are commonly encrypted, the encryption method used was devised in 1998 and is weak by today’s standards. A stronger hashing algorithm being used on these credentials would decrease the impact of this issue, but not as much as disabling automatic authentication with untrusted SMB servers. With roughly $3,000 worth of GPUs, an attacker could crack any 8-character password consisting of letters (upper and lower case) as well as numbers in less than half a day.”
• “Microsoft has yet to release a patch to fix the Redirect to SMB vulnerability. The simplest workaround is to block outbound traffic from TCP 139 and TCP 445 — either at the endpoint firewall or at the network gateway’s firewall (assuming you are on a trusted network). The former will block all SMB communication, which may disable other features that depend on SMB. If the block is done at the network gateway’s firewall, SMB features will still work inside the network, but prevent authentication attempts with destinations outside the network. See the white paper for other mitigation steps.”
• “Microsoft did not resolve the issue reported by Aaron Spangler in 1997. We hope that our research will compel Microsoft to reconsider the vulnerabilities and disable authentication with untrusted SMB servers. That would block the attacks identified by Spangler as well as the new Redirect to SMB attack.”
• Cylance Whitepaper (PDF)

Given enough money, all bugs are shallow

• Eric Raymond, in The Cathedral and the Bazaar, famously wrote: “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow.”
• “The idea is that open source software, by virtue of allowing anyone and everyone to view the source code, is inherently less buggy than closed source software. He dubbed this “Linus’s Law”.”
• “However, the Heartbleed SSL vulnerability was a turning point for Linus’s Law, a catastrophic exploit based on a severe bug in open source software. How catastrophic? It affected about 18% of all the HTTPS websites in the world, and allowed attackers to view all traffic to these websites, unencrypted… for two years.”
• “OpenSSL, the library with this bug, is one of the most critical bits of Internet infrastructure the world has – relied on by major companies to encrypt the private information of their customers as it travels across the Internet. OpenSSL was used on millions of servers and devices to protect the kind of important stuff you want encrypted, and hidden away from prying eyes, like passwords, bank accounts, and credit card information.”
• “This should be some of the most well-reviewed code in the world. What happened to our eyeballs, man?”
• “In reality, it’s generally very, very difficult to fix real bugs in anything but the most trivial Open Source software. I know that I have rarely done it, and I am an experienced developer. Most of the time, what really happens is that you tell the actual programmer about the problem and wait and see if he/she fixes it”
• “Even if a brave hacker communities to read the code, they’re not terribly likely to spot one of the hard-to-spot problems. Why? Few open source hackers are security experts”
• “There’s a big difference between usage eyeballs and development eyeballs.”
• “Most eyeballs are looking at the outside of the code, not the inside. And while you can discover bugs, even important security bugs, through usage, the hairiest security bugs require inside knowledge of how the code works.”
• Peer reviewing code is a lot harder than writing code.
• “The amount of code being churned out today – even if you assume only a small fraction of it is “important” enough to require serious review – far outstrips the number of eyeballs available to look at the code”
• “There are not enough qualified eyeballs to look at the code. Sure, the overall number of programmers is slowly growing, but what percent of those programmers are skilled enough, and have the right security background, to be able to audit someone else’s code effectively? A tiny fraction”
• “But what’s the long term answer to the general problem of not enough eyeballs on open source code? It’s something that will sound very familiar to you, though I suspect Eric Raymond won’t be too happy about it.”
• “Money. Lots and lots of money.”
• “Increasingly, companies are turning to commercial bug bounty programs. Either ones they create themselves, or run through third party services like Bugcrowd, Synack, HackerOne, and Crowdcurity. This means you pay per bug, with a larger payout the bigger and badder the bug is.”
• However, adding more money to the equation might actually make things worse
• “There’s now a price associated with exploits, and the deeper the exploit and the lesser known it is, the more incentive there is to not tell anyone about it until you can collect a major payout. So you might wait up to a year to report anything, and meanwhile this security bug is out there in the wild – who knows who else might have discovered it by then?”
• “If your focus is the payout, who is paying more? The good guys, or the bad guys? Should you hold out longer for a bigger payday, or build the exploit up into something even larger? I hope for our sake the good guys have the deeper pockets, otherwise we are all screwed.”
• I like that Google addressed a few of these concerns by making Pwnium, their Chrome specific variant of Pwn2Own, a) no longer a yearly event but all day, every day and b) increasing the prize money to “infinite”. I don’t know if that’s enough, but it’s certainly going in the right direction.
• “Money turns security into a “me” goal instead of an “us” goal“
• “Am I now obligated, on top of providing a completely free open source project to the world, to pay people for contributing information about security bugs that make this open source project better? Believe me, I was very appreciative of the security bug reporting, and I sent them whatever I could, stickers, t-shirts, effusive thank you emails, callouts in the code and checkins. But open source isn’t supposed to be about the money… is it?”
• “Easy money attracts all skill levels — The submitter doesn’t understand what is and isn’t an exploit, but knows there is value in anything resembling an exploit, so submits everything they can find.”
• “But I have some advice for bug bounty programs, too”:
• “You should have someone vetting these bug reports, and making sure they are credible, have clear reproduction steps, and are repeatable, before we ever see them.”
• “You should build additional incentives in your community for some kind of collaborative work towards bigger, better exploits. These researchers need to be working together in public, not in secret against each other”.
• “You should have a reputation system that builds up so that only the better, proven contributors are making it through and submitting reports”.
• “Encourage larger orgs to fund bug bounties for common open source projects, not just their own closed source apps and websites. At Stack Exchange, we donated to open source projects we used every year. Donating a bug bounty could be a big bump in eyeballs on that code.”

FAA Needs a More Comprehensive Approach to Address Cybersecurity As Agency Transitions to NextGen

• The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) faces cybersecurity challenges in at least three areas:
• (1) protecting air-traffic control (ATC) information systems,
• (2) protecting aircraft avionics used to operate and guide aircraft
• (3) clarifying cybersecurity roles and responsibilities among multiple FAA offices
• “FAA has taken steps to protect its ATC systems from cyber-based threats; however, significant security-control weaknesses remain that threaten the agency’s ability to ensure the safe and uninterrupted operation of the national airspace systems”
• “Modern aircraft are increasingly connected to the Internet. This interconnectedness can potentially provide unauthorized remote access to aircraft avionics systems. As part of the aircraft certification process, FAA’s Office of Safety (AVS) currently certifies new interconnected systems through rules for specific aircraft and has started reviewing rules for certifying the cybersecurity of all new aircraft systems.”
• “FAA officials and experts we interviewed said that modern aircraft are also increasingly connected to the Internet, which also uses IP-networking technology and can potentially provide an attacker with remote access to aircraft information systems. According to cybersecurity experts we interviewed, Internet connectivity in the cabin should be considered a direct link between the aircraft and the outside world, which includes potential malicious actors. FAA officials and cybersecurity and aviation experts we spoke to said that increasingly passengers in the cabin can access the Internet via onboard wireless broadband systems.”
• “Four cybersecurity experts with whom we spoke discussed firewall vulnerabilities, and all four said that because firewalls are software components, they could be hacked like any other software and circumvented. The experts said that if the cabin systems connect to the cockpit avionics systems (e.g., share the same physical wiring harness or router) and use the same networking platform, in this case IP, a user could subvert the firewall and access the cockpit avionics system from the cabin. The presence of personal smartphones and tablets in the cockpit increases the risk of a system’s being compromised by trusted insiders, both malicious and non-malicious, if these devices have the capability to transmit information to aircraft avionics systems”
• One would hope that the cockpit avionics are separated from the onboard entertainment and wifi systems by more than just a firewall. Even if they are not, a properly configured firewall is very difficult to compromise.
• Additional Coverage – BatBlue
• It seems that the authors of this report were not experts on the subject, and when interviewing experts on the topic, they asked questions like “is there any way to get around a firewall”

WordPress, PHP Apps, Subject to Ghost glibc Attacks

“Less than 48 hours after the disclosure of the Ghost vulnerability in the GNU C library (glibc), researchers have uncovered that PHP applications, including the WordPress content management system, could be another weak spot and eventually in the crosshairs of attackers.

Ghost is a vulnerability in glibc that attackers can use against only a handful of applications right now to remotely run executable code and gain control of a Linux server. The vulnerability is a heap-based buffer overflow and affects all Linux systems, according to experts, and has been present in the glibc code since 2000. ???An example of where this could be a big issue is within WordPress itself: it uses a function named wp_http_validate_url() to validate every pingback???s post URL,??? wrote Sucuri research Marc-Alexandre Montpas in an advisory published Wednesday. ???And it does so by using gethostbyname(). So an attacker could leverage this vector to insert a malicious URL that would trigger a buffer overflow bug, server-side, potentially allowing him to gain privileges on the server.???”

So we might actually see an official release pretty soon.

HockeyApp provides a variety of tools for helping developers distribute and test mobile apps, including crash reporting, beta software distribution and feedback, and cross-platform support for iOS, Android and Windows Phone.

In the coming months, Microsoft will announce new iOS and Android SDKs for its Application Insights software to take advantage of the new tools. HockeyApp for its part says that nothing will change for its users at the moment; their apps and accounts will continue to work the same.

• Go 1.4 is released – The Go Blog

Today we announce Go 1.4, the fifth major stable release of Go, arriving six
months after our previous major release Go 1.3.
It contains a small language change, support for more operating systems
and processor architectures, and improvements to the tool chain and libraries.
As always, Go 1.4 keeps the promise of compatibility, and almost everything
will continue to compile and run without change when moved to 1.4.
For the full details, see the Go 1.4 release notes.

The most notable new feature in this release is official support for Android.
Using the support in the core and the libraries in the
golang.org/x/mobile repository,
it is now possible to write simple Android apps using only Go code.
At this stage, the support libraries are still nascent and under heavy development.
Early adopters should expect a bumpy ride, but we welcome the community to get involved.

• Hit Dystopian Game ‘Papers, Please’ Lands on iPad Amid Publicity Over Censorship by Apple – Mac Rumors

The focus of Apple’s censorship lies in the full-body scanner introduced a few levels into the game that tasks the player with ensuring the person attempting to enter Arstotzka isn’t carrying any kind of contraband. The PC, Mac, and Linux versions of the game depicted fully nude (albeit in low resolution given the nature of the game’s graphics) versions of characters when put through this scanner, with an option to censor the nudity by including underwear on the characters.

Papers, Please for iPad, however, removes the choice from the equation, automatically covering the characters in underwear when scanned by the player.

Intel reinvents Stephen Hawking’s voice systems and will open source the software – IT News from V3.co.uk

Intel has reinvented the speech and text communication systems used by Professor Stephen Hawking, and plans to release the software as an open source project in 2015.

The Assistive Context Aware Toolkit has helped to double Hawking’s speech and text input times, and make it up to 10 times faster for him to open files, switch between applications and browse the web.

Hawking said at an event attended by V3 that the Intel developments are “life-changing” for him.

“The Intel team and I have been working for three years on upgrading my communication systems. My old system is more than 20 years old and I find it very difficult to communicative effectively and do the things I love to do.

“With the improvement I am now able to write much faster and I can continue to give lectures, write papers and books and speak with friends and family more easily.

“This new system is life-changing for me and I hope it will serve me well for the next 20 years.”

Intel began work on the project three years ago when Hawking contacted the firm’s founder, Gordon Moore, to ask for help in impro

One major improvement is a new system making it far easier for Hawking to access files, as ‎Lama Nachman, principal engineer and manager of the Anticipatory Computing Lab at Intel Labs, explained.

One aspect of the system that has not changed is the voice, which has become synonymous with Hawking. “He was actually adamant about us not changing his voice,” said Nachman.

The new software will be made open source next year, but Swiftkey said that its involvement in the project will not be included as the technology is too similar to its core product.

Google to launch kid-friendly versions of Chrome, YouTube, others in 2015 | Ars Technica

Google is currently working on versions of products like Chrome and YouTube tailored specifically for kids under the age of 13, according to a report from USA Today. Pavni Diwanji, a VP of engineering at Google, says that the new products are due at some point next year and that they are intended to help children “be more than just pure consumers of tech, but creators, too.”

It’s not clear how these under-13 products will work, but they may change the way they look or the kinds of data they present.

In the US, one of the biggest considerations when designing online products and services for kids is the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA. It dictates how information can be collected from and presented to kids under the age of 13—changes to the law effective in July of 2013 include multiple stipulations related to privacy policies, parental oversight, and security requirements for data collected from young children. Since the vast majority of Google’s revenue comes from advertising and the value of the company’s ads is tied to its trove of user data, COPPA compliance will obviously be important to users and Google alike (Yelp was fined $450,000 earlier this year for COPPA violations).

Dropbox eyes Google and Box with launch of Business API- The Inquirer

**DROPBOX HAS ANNOUNCED **an API for third parties wishing to develop and integrate apps to work alongside its business service.

The move is designed to appeal to users of proprietary office systems.

The API launched with 20 partner organisations including Microsoft and IBM.

It will allow Dropbox for Business apps to use some of the more advanced features not available on the free service, and will also integrate with existing enterprise security systems.

But given Dropbox’s colourful history with regards to safety, what does the company which Edward Snowden described as “hostile to privacy” do to win hearts and minds?

George O’Brien, product manager for Dropbox for Business, told The INQUIRER: “Dropbox for Business is a security first product.”

Stop laughing and nobody mention Condeleezza.

He added: “We encrypt data as it travels through the API. Only a Dropbox for Business system administrator can install a Dropbox for Business API app. We’re very aggressive about who has control over the API and who has access to it.

Samsung’s Open Source Group Is Growing, Hiring Developers – Slashdot

Almost two years ago, Samsung’s open source team was just one person: Linux and FOSS advocate Ibrahim Haddad, head of the open source group at Samsung Research America. The new Open Source Innovation Group at Samsung is now 40 people strong, including 30 developers, devoted full-time to working on upstream projects and shepherding open source development into the company. The group is hiring aggressively and plans to double the size of the group in the coming years. Their first targets are project maintainers and key contributors to 23 open source projects that are integral to Samsung’s products, including Linux, Gstreamer, FFmpeg, Blink, Webkit, EFL, and Wayland. They plan to eventually start hiring more junior open source developers as well. Just about every Samsung product, from phones and tablets to home appliances, uses open source software, said Guy Martin, senior open source strategist at Samsung. Martin also mentions the importance of funding: “You already see this in the Linux kernel, where most people who contribute are paid to contribute. And you’ll see that more and more.”

The “Oculus Platform” Marketplace For Virtual Reality App Launches This Fall | TechCrunch

Oculus announced the “Oculus Platform” store for developers to distribute their virtual reality apps and experiences today at the Oculus Connect conference. Starting this fall on the Samsung Gear VR made by Oculus, this revamp of the Oculus Share marketplace will let users browse the Oculus Platform within virtual reality and download apps, games, and entertainment experiences.

Eventually, there will be versions of the Oculus Platform for the Rift, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer. Oculus Platform could become one of the first ways for developers to sell the VR experiences they build, and by creating this marketplace, Oculus could rally the ecosystem to its mobile and PC-based VR headsets.

Oculus open-sources original Rift developer kit’s firmware, schematics, and mechanics | PCWorld

Kicking off the Oculus Connect conference in Los Angeles this weekend, Oculus’s Nirav Patel announced that the original Oculus Rift developer kit (DK1) is now fully open-source, with the exception of the pieces that aren’t actually in production anymore—for instance, the display, which is no longer manufactured.

“We don’t want everyone to have to take the same risks we took. We just want to share the things we learned so you don’t have to do that. We’re all in this to build virtual reality together,” said Patel.

Mandatory Google+ Gmail Integration Quietly Shelved | WordStream

Google has gone to valiant lengths to convince us that rumors of Google+’s demise have been greatly exaggerated, but Google is no longer forcing new Gmail users to connect their account to a Google+ profile — yet another move that could signal the end for Google’s troubled social network.

FreeBSD 11 goals and discussion

• Something that actually happened at BSDCan this year…
• During the FreeBSD devsummit, there was some discussion about what changes will be made in 11.0-RELEASE
• Slides from Dev Summit
• Some of MWL\’s notes include: the test suite will be merged to 10-STABLE, more work on the MIPS platforms, LLDB getting more attention, UEFI boot and install support
• A large list of possibilities was also included and open for discussion, including AES-GCM in IPSEC, ASLR, OpenMP, ICC, in-place kernel upgrades, Capsicum improvements, TCP performance improvements and A LOT more
• There\’s also some notes from the devsummit virtualization session, mostly talking about bhyve
• Lastly, he also provides some notes about ports and packages and where they\’re going

An SSH honeypot with OpenBSD and Kippo

• Everyone loves messing with script kiddies, right?
• This blog post introduces Kippo, an SSH honeypot tool, and how to use it in combination with OpenBSD
• It includes a step by step (or rather, command by command) guide and some tips for running a honeypot securely
• You can use this to get new 0day exploits or find weaknesses in your systems
• OpenBSD makes a great companion for security testing tools like this with all its exploit mitigation techniques that protect all running applications

NetBSD foundation financial report

• The NetBSD foundation has posted their 2013 financial report
• It\’s a very \”no nonsense\” page, pretty much only the hard numbers
• In 2013, they got $26,000 of income in donations
• The rest of the page shows all the details, how they spent it on hardware, consulting, conference fees, legal costs and everything else
• Be sure to donate to whichever BSDs you like and use!

Building a fully-encrypted NAS with OpenBSD

• Usually the popular choice for a NAS system is FreeNAS, or plain FreeBSD if you know what you\’re doing
• This article takes a look at the OpenBSD side and explains how to build a NAS with security in mind
• The NAS will be fully encrypted, no separate /boot partition like FreeBSD and FreeNAS require – this means the kernel itself is even protected
• The obvious trade-off is the lack of ZFS support for storage, but this is an interesting idea that would fit most people\’s needs too
• There\’s also a bit of background information on NAS systems in general, some NAS-specific security tips and even some nice graphs and pictures of the hardware – fantastic write up!
