Network Security:
If you store any data that you need secured, it is in your interest to provide a level of security which protects your information. We can protect your computer from Intrusion.

If you are currently running a wireless network at home, do you know if your information is truly secure?

With Identity theft on the rise, you need to be certain that your information is protected from intrusion. Breaches in firewall and typically exploited, and unfortunately the majority of people who this happens to are the people who don't recognize their vulnerabilities.

The equipment to do this is now very inexpensive, but people are often set up a network as they don't know where to start. It is fair to say that setting up a network at home is not exactly just plug and play expecting everything to be perfect right out of the box. There is usually additional configuring once your network is online and if left un-adressed, can lead to a disaster.

Our Technicians can come to your location and Troubleshoot any issue you may have with your existing environments, and provide you the piece of mind knowing your information is secure.

Ethernet is a long-established networking standard, and ethernet equipment is cheap and easily available. Ethernet does require running new cabling to each computer you need to connect to the network. Some other alternatives are available which use carry signals using radio waves, power cables or phone lines within the home: Wireless Ethernet (WiFi), HomeRF, and HomePNA. We don't particularly recommend those standards for home networks - there are problems with security, coverage, different standards, cost and availability of equipment. A future guide will cover adding wireless Ethernet to complement an existing network. Currently we think a standard cabled ethernet network is the best solution for most people.

By connecting your machine to the residence hall network you have become a member of several communities. The residence hall network, the campus network, and the global network. As such you have a social responsibility (though one you can choose to not fullfill) to protect the groups well being. A good reason for an intruder to gain access to a res-hall machine is to use it as a launching platform to attack other machines. It is very common for network intruders to take control of sever machines like this and route their traffic through them in order to make a trace back more difficult.

To set up a home network you need to understand what function each piece of equipment performs so you can connect them together correctly. The jargon used can be confusing, but this glossary and diagram describes the key equipment and what it does.

Note that while these components are described and illustrated separately for clarity, in practice you can often buy one box which combines two or more functions (for example a router will often include a built-in switch too).

There are those who believe that the security issues facing home users are greatly exaggerated, and that the only entities which need to be concerned about desktop and network security are businesses which have critical data on their machines. And many think that only broadband users or folks with high-speed connections need to be concerned.

Truth is, the vast majority of computer systems, including corporate ones, are not compromised for the data they may contain. Rather, they are often compromised for practice purposes, such as storage space for warez, or to create remote zombies for large-scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against other networks. Compromised systems today are even being used to send SPAM.

Most systems are not necessarily compromised by a dedicated cracker trying a variety of remote commands until he/she successfully cracks the system password. Instead, most attacks today are performed using automated tools which attempt to exploit known vulnerabilities in various OSes and applications.
