Error 404--Not Found

Error 404--Not Found

From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:

10.4.5 404 Not Found

The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.

If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.

Untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1 available for download
05/25/12
Absinthe 2.0, the jailbreak for iOS 5.1.1, is ready and available for download, the Jailbreak Dream Team announced at the Hack in the Box conference in Amsterdam on Friday.

We installed Vulnerability Manager and deployed Unix and Windows agents across our test network, a process handled easily via a console wizard. NetIQ also supports proxy functionality, where an agent on one server connects to other servers to collect data. The agent then reports to the central server, helping cut down on network traffic and open firewall ports required in the communications path.

Policies are defined by creating security checks and grouping them into compliance templates. NetIQ includes the standard regulatory (for example, HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley) and organizational (such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology) templates, but it's also possible to create policies from scratch, a straightforward process in general that could use a little more documentation to be completely smooth. Our tests showed that once a policy is defined, policy checks run directly against the system complete very quickly.

NetIQ stands out among its competitors in that after users run many compliance checks, they can look at the list of available reports and easily identify which report they want to view. The list includes detailed information about each report, such as name, description and date completed. To run delta reports, you choose two reports of the same type and select its "run delta" option.
