Banking Mobile App Security

I love mobile banking apps! They are truly very handy when you are on the go. One major pain point that I gripe about constantly is the need to enter your password each time you use these apps. It really slows you down! I think there is a better way. I wish that my banking app would save my password and give me the option to set a passcode! My phone already has an additional layer of security, a device passcode. What’s the risk right? The banking app could be configured to deny the use of passcode if a device passcode or password is not set. Take that! ...

Things that make you go Hmm: Dell Optiplex 3011 && WinPe

I’m having some issues with deploying Dell Optiplex 3011 Windows images using Windows deployment services. What should be a quick win has turned into an head banging exercise! From the onset I was very sceptical about these systems so I’m not surprised that it has been such a pain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mkl8kCwvpm0 I am using WDS (2012 Server) with the Windows 7 Boot image. I have injected the drivers for the realtek network card and for some reason the drivers will not load in WinPe. ...

Network Boot Menu setup with iPXE

My iPXE setup is coming along just lovely, and it is working out just fine. My goal is to avoid scurrying around like a headless chicken looking for USB flash drives and optical media whenever I have to work on someone’s system. This part usually takes the most out of me when I am fixing a system as I can never seem to find install media, usb drives and my tools. I sure wish I could network boot my tools! I’m trying to become more organized in that regard :-). ...

Tax Amnesty Extortion

So someone sent me the link to the tax amnesty website and mostly out of curiosity I checked my drivers licence. I have no outstanding tickets on there so why should I worry? I am an upstanding citizen of Jamaica who believes in doing the responsible thing of going to court and pleading guilty with explanation and hoping the judge will fine me less than the amount that is on the ticket. Imagine my shock and utter dismay when I looked at the list and saw every ticket I have ever gotten on there! OMG! The government is evil! (This you already know, right?) ...
