            This article will show you some of the top ways the best hackers use to keep themselves hidden and out of jail and to be a better Hacker. Educational purposes only. Written for beginners.

• • 14. Always wave to cops

• 15. Keeping a low profile is very important, it reduces your chances of getting caught

• 16. When using open-wireless network for hacking make sure to change your computer MAC address and hostname

• 17. If you ever have to relocate, make sure all your secrets are destroyed and the place wiped clean.

• 18. Make use of heavy encryption when possible.

• 19. Passwords should never contain dictionary words, always use long phrases instead 

OK, let me explain a couple of these items.

However, you don’t want to backup your database by hand every time so you want to schedule this to run on its own.  And for this you’re going to put the above code into a job and schedule it.  The easiest way to do this is to create a job in SSMS.  Follow these steps to create the job and put your backup statement inside of it.

Expand the ‘SQL Server Agent’ tree and right-click on ‘Jobs’.  Then choose the top item, ‘New Job…’

Now you’ve got the new job dialog box.  Filling in the info is pretty easy.  You need to give your job a name, and everything else is optional.  Here I’m going to fill in the name of the job as ‘Backup user database’.

Next click on the ‘Steps’ pane on the left and you’ll be presented with this screen.  It’s blank because you haven’t created any steps yet.  So go ahead and click on the ‘New’ button at the bottom.

This is where the real magic happens.  Again, you have to fill in a name so you know what the step is called.  Make it something descriptive.  There are several step types to choose from, but the default is T-SQL and since we’re running a T-SQL command that’s clearly the one we want to go with.  The database defaults to ‘master’ and that’s just fine with us.  Here’s what we have so far.  You see the only thing we’ve had to do is fill in the step name.

The only thing left to do is to copy your backup statement into the query window.  Of course it’s always a good idea to make sure your code will parse before you try to run it.  Just click the ‘Parse’ button I’ve circled.  Here’s what that looks like.

Now click OK and it’ll take you back to your new job window and now you’ll see your job step listed.  And you can stack as many as you like inside there.

To schedule your job, just click on ‘Schedules’ on the left and then choose the schedule that’s right for you.  It works similar to the the way it does in Windows so there’s really not much need for me to rehash it here.

Once you click OK all the way out until the new job box is closed, your job will be added to the job tree.  You may have to right-click on ‘Jobs’ and refresh the display for it to show up.

Now that you’ve created the job to backup your database I’d like to go back to the command again and add one more part.  See, when you backup a database to a file it won’t overwrite the file by default.  By default it will append to the file, so your backup file will just get bigger and bigger.  So what you want to do is add a special flag to the command that tells it to initialize (or overwrite) the file every time.  That makes our backup command look like this

now:
BACKUP Database Model

With INIT
This is a good thing to keep in mind while you’re creating your job.

But what if you wanted to backup more than one database?  Well, again, there are several ways to do this and I’m going to show you the easiest just to get you going.

There are 2 methods we’re going to discuss here:


1.  In the job step you just created, you can just stack backup commands one after another.  So the window that holds your backup code inside the step could easily hold the code for several databases.  That would look something like this:
2.  The other way you could do it is to add each one of your backup commands to their own step by repeating from step 3 above.

Here I’ve shown you how to create a simple backup job.  Most tutorials will show you how to use the backup wizard, but that’s ridiculous because you’ll never do that in production.  Nobody wants to manually backup their databases every day.

2.Type regsvr32 schmmgmt.dll

3.Click OK

8.From the listed Domain Controllers, click on the domain controller that you want to be the schema master role holder and then click on OK

9.In the console tree, right click Active Directory Schema [DomainController.DomainName], and then click Operations Master...

 Then click Close, as you can see in the below snapshot, the current schema master is ELMAJ-DC2K8.ELMAJDAL.NET

1.Open TMG Server 2010 management console, and from the left pane, click on the System node

From the middle pane , click on your server's name to become selected, and then from the right side pane, under the Tasks tab, click on Upgrade to Enterprise Edition as shown below.

The Server properties page will open, under the Product ID tab, click on the Upgrade To Enterprise Edition...

The Product Key Entry page will open, where here you should enter the product key for Forefront TMG Server 2010 Enterprise Edition.
Once you type the product key, click on the OK bytton.

You will get back to the server properties page, and as you can notice, the Product ID has changed and also the Production Edition is now Enterprise. Click OK

Top 5 Things to Look for In A Cloud Computing Provider

For many organizations, the benefits of the public cloud outweigh the risks. But before making a decision on shifting an application or service to the cloud, there are a few things to consider. The first question is whether or not the intended application is suitable for use in a cloud-based setting.

Assuming your application has been deemed a good candidate for the cloud, the second consideration is who to trust with your data.

So here are the top 5 things you should consider when selecting a public cloud vendor.

 #1 Is the company viable?

Before handing over your critical applications and data, an important first step is to assess the financial viability of the company. Find out how long the company has been in business. Given the relative immaturity of this market, it may be unlikely to find vendors with several decades of presence, but you almost certainly don’t want a company that has just set up shop either. In addition, look for any indicators of past or future economic issues, along with frequent leadership changes.

#2 Are service level agreements offered?

For organizations entrusting mission critical data to a vendor, you’ll want to ensure that your systems will not suffer from frequent or extended outage periods. Downtime can have disastrous consequences both in terms of financial loss and damage to company reputation. For this reason, a service level agreement with negotiable terms, should be available. This agreement should outline provisions for everything from server or software issues, to more detailed disaster recovery plans.

#3 Is customer service a priority?

One guarantee with corporate networks is that something often can and will go wrong. In these instances, it is imperative that the vendor respond quickly, efficiently, and professionally. You should determine things like: response times, dedicated vs. general support, and phone/email/chat availability. Depending on the nature of the application that the vendor hosts, you may find that a dedicated support engineer, with 24×7 availability better suits your needs than calling a general help line and waiting in a call queue.

#4 Will my customers have the same level of performance?

Another issue cited with cloud services is the perceived negative performance impact. Customers and employees have an expectation that no matter where data is housed, they will enjoy the same level of performance. The cloud provider should be able to define how they measure performance and be able to provide real-time and ongoing measurements and statistics to back this up.

#5 How is security handled?

Perhaps the most frequent reason cited for not pursuing cloud computing is security. Many organizations have invested considerable financial and human resources in order to secure their network environments and the thought of abandoning that level of control and comfort to an unknown entity can seem like an unnecessary gamble. Any reputable vendor should be able to outline their security practices and modify them based on your requirements, particularly as it relates to any industry-specific regulatory requirements you have.

Summary

The decision to pursue cloud computing is one that many organization have or will make as this technology grows and matures. But this decision need not be one fraught with uncertainty. With a little due diligence, and answering a few key questions, you can ensure that your cloud vendor selection is a sound one.
