I need a penetration tester (individual or firm) to run some tests against my network. Anyone have any recommendations they care to share? Thanks! Tal

Re: [Wlug] Up.Time

This is a commercial software product I have not heard of, and I'm a specialist in enterprise management software. If you are looking for a great agentless app for systems, application and network management, check out opennms at http://www.opennms.org Free can be a great alternative to not, especially for SMBs, and agent-based apps require a lot of management overhead that smaller shops typically can't afford.

No, never used it. When I was setting up server monitoring at my previous company, we used Oreon, which is now Centreon. They are an open source GUI on top of Nagios so that you don't have to do all of the horrible NAGIOS configuration. It looks fairly similar to this Up.Time product though. It made setting up NAGIOS so easy. Check them out.

I'll have to tinker with my router. I should also mention that 40Mhz channels are an optional feature in the 11n spec, so not all hardware will implement it. In other words, don't be surprised if you don't see it on SOHO class hardware. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu | For every problem, there is a solution that WPI Senior Network Engineer | is simple, elegant, and wrong. - HL Mencken GPG fingerprint = 6174 1257 129E 0D21 D8D4 E8A3 8E39 29E3 E2E8 8CEC
