Security Flaws In Aussie Net Filter Exposed 182

Faldo writes "There's a three-part interview with a computer security expert on BanThisURL that goes into the flaws in the Aussie net filtering scheme. In addition to SSH tunnels and proxies, more worrying problems like trojaning the boxes to set up man in the middle attacks (which the interviewee has done in his lab), cross site scripting and the Australian blacklist leaking are all discussed. Worrying and relevant, especially since Thailand's blacklist has just been leaked."

Comment PowerShell and WMI (Score 1) 215

I am more of a UNIX admin so I don't claim to be an expert on remote Windows management, but I believe the tool you're looking for is Microsoft PowerShell which allows remote WMI scripting. I've seen some pretty impressive demos of infrastructure automation using WMI and PowerShell.

For power cycling and the like, I'd go with the hardware remote management tools (iLo, DRAC, and the like).

A quick Google turned up a few Microsoft articles on PowerShell and WMI. (Article 1, Article 2)
