You're definitely dating yourself with the DigDug reference though.

Has the rights issue (where all NPM accounts get WebUploader access to NCM) been fixed in this release?

Any chance someone can share the surprise for those of us unable to watch?

True dat, not open. I NEED MY FIX!!@@!21!11!!!!

First in on the whining about the day's question not being open yet! 

Maybe I'm dense, but is anyone else finding Checklist item #3 part 2 a bit confusing? "Device number"... ?

What about the problems with Question 1? The hint did not address the answer except in the vaguest, most broad sense!

Ah ok... couldn't tell if I was just unable to see the video again...

maria.bungau‌ is much better than CATS, I'd pester her with problems again and again! 

Am I misunderstanding July 23's scenario or is it trying to imply that violins are in the woodwind family? </musicgeek>

The thing is, if it's an external-facing website, how are you getting accurate measurements when monitoring from inside?

Cool high-level post. When implementing DPI rules, it can also be time-consuming finding those handful of systems that DO need to have port XYZ open, or these few systems which should be allowed to send protocol X traffic over protocol Y's port (because the software vendor was just that helpful.)

Day 3 didn't take any of my answers, so I came back here to read comments. When I go back into Day 3 now it says I've already completed it... ?

Survey.alchemer.com blocked due to repeated phishing attempts from that domain.

They don't show up for me in any browser. Probably a proxy issue, but I doubt my company will modify the proxy so I can see them. What is the alternative? I recall these used to be posted on YouTube for people in boats similar to mine.

Thinking outside the 3-dimensional quadrilateral parallelogram...

Yep, Nicole saves our BACON again. Yes, I did just work bacon into this thread. You can thank me later.

Hmmm, got a Thwack Updates email that had this link, but it takes me to this discussion... * * [Survey] SysAdmin Day is Upon Us! - take our survey for 250 points.

The metrics would be different depending on the business line -- if I'm selling something, and my sales site is down or very slow, obviously it impacts me in a different way than if I'm an insurance company with member portal access through my website, or if I'm a delivery company with some kind of tracking site.

So while we're waiting, back to the discussion of bacon... oh sorry, wrong thread...

Attack ships on fire?

I agree with most of what has been said. However I think that instead of relying on unhackable applications, we actually need to focus more on the underlying foundations -- unhackable operating systems and more secure protocols. There was an article recently in which Vint Cerf said that basically the Internet was a beta…

I submitted my answer for the Bonus Question for Week 3 but all I get is Your Results: (nothing)

I always think of LEM first when considering Windows log monitoring... SAM does OK, but it's not at the same level really...

A place down the street has the most amazing Baba ghanoush... You guys are making me hungry.

Others have already said that they are working at organizations that provide monitoring for customers. Using the logic above, all customer accounts are by default able to upload configurations for all sites. I'm trying to figure out how that makes sense...

I too have been wanting this for ages. How can we tell if we got all the points we should if we can't see how many we received?
