svartling: En guide på svenska om hur man krypterar ett USB minne

Att kryptera sitt USB minne kan vara bra av många orsaker. En orsak kan vara att om man har känslig, personlig information på USB minnet, och råkar tappa bort det så är det inte så kul om den personen som hittar det kan se just den informationen.

Sharp has just announced a PC tailored to the needs of the big professional market. They keyword here is security. The NH50K or AK can only boot when a unique protection USB key is inserted, and the HDD is emerged in a magnesium alloy casing with anti-shock gel. Performace-wise, you get a lousy Celeron 373 (1Ghz), 512Mb of RAM and a 40Gb HDD. Wireless b/g is also present, as well as the a(J52) (only compatible in Japan). The screen is 12.1" big with an XGA resolution. Even though the specs are rather limited, it's a very interesting device nevertheless because of the security aspect.

Sysinternals Freeware - Autoruns

by 9 others (via)
This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of auto-starting locations of any startup monitor (A starting list of auto-run locations was obtained from David Solomon's "Windows Internals" seminar), shows you what programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations, including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects, Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP. Autoruns' Hide Signed Microsoft Entries option helps you to zoom in on third-party auto-starting images that have been added to your system and it has support for looking at the auto-starting images configured for other accounts configured on a system. Also included in the download package is a command-line equivalent that can output in CSV format, Autorunsc. You'll probably be surprised at how many executables are launched automatically!

And in case you are curious, according to some sources, the junk mail version of spam earned its name from a Monty Python skit regarding the luncheon meat of the same name. Care to sing along?
