In this tutorial I will describe how to install and configure mod_deflate on an Apache2 web server. mod_deflate allows Apache2 to compress files and deliver them to clients (e.g. browsers) that can handle compressed content which most modern browsers do. With mod_deflate, you can compress HTML, text or XML files to approx. 20 - 30% of their original sizes, thus saving you server traffic and making your modem users happier.

Love it, hate it, heard lots about it, but still don’t have enough of a handle to form a firm opinion? Then we must be talking about Linux, the open-source operating system that’s alluring because it’s heavy duty and it’s free. Simultaneously, it’s intimidating to newbies because it’s typically more difficult to install and configure than Windows.

We recently got hired by a credit union to assess the security of its network. The client asked that we really push hard on the social engineering button. In the past, they’d had problems with employees sharing passwords and giving up information easily. Leveraging our effort in the report was a way to drive the message home to the employees.
