The Key to Your Organization's Well-Being Best Practices for Secure Shell Key Management
The Key to Your Organization's Well-Being Best Practices for Secure Shell Key Management
By Jason Thompson, global director of marketing for SSH Communications Security
A lot can happen in twenty years. Over the past two decades, operating systems have moved from DOS to Windows to mobile platforms. The Internet has completely changed how we interact with technology, with the world and with each other. And unscrupulous individuals have taken advantage of every new advancement to find new ways to steal sensitive data from company networks.
For almost the past twenty years, the Secure Shell data-in-transit protocol has been the standard method for nearly all major organizations to safely and confidently transmit information from one machine to another while providing remote administrator access. Currently, some form of Secure Shell comes with every copy of Linux, Unix and Mac OS with implementation increasing for Windows devices as well. Presently, estimates have about half of all the world's websites employing some kind of Secure Shell. While the total number of Secure Shell implementations is impossible to calculate, it is thought to be over one million, which makes it a near-universal standard for network security.
Since its invention, Secure Shell has cemented its spot as a security solution by handling more than one billion business transactions while never encountering any key serious security breaches caused by problems with the protocol itself. However, despite Secure Shell itself being quite secure, today's ever-changing threat environment demands that organizations rethink their Secure Shell environment management processes.
Preparing for the Threats of the Future
Typically, Secure Shell has been deployed to transmit large amounts of sensitive business data like credit card numbers, personally identifiable information, healthcare records and classified intelligence. Therefore, to a knowledgeable attacker, Secure Shell is the only thing standing between him and a full vault just waiting to be cracked.
But if the protocol itself is secure, how could a malicious individual gain access to the information guarded by Secure Shell? The answer lies in the encryption keys themselves.
Whenever a connection is made via Secure Shell, a trust relationship is formed between a computer and the server with a cryptographic key pair. These relationships are created and managed internally, frequently on systems dating back to the mid '90s. However, none of these systems can search for – or find – where an organization's trust relationship exists. Consequently, administrators have to track these relationships manually. In a network with potentially hundreds of thousands of keys, trust relationships will undoubtedly be lost. If a malicious individual – either internal or external – gains access to one of these keys, he or she could impersonate an authorized user without a problem.
Poor handling of Secure Shell keys is a glaring vulnerability that will inevitably be exploited by attackers. A recent study performed on the management operations of some of the largest global organizations revealed some unsettling tendencies:
• Few – if any – of the organizations surveyed rotated their Secure Shell keys or deleted them when user leaves or application decommissioned
- Secure Shell host keys were often shared across thousands of the organizations' computers, making the network susceptible to man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks.
- Roughly 10 percent of all SSH user keys provide root access, a major security and compliance issue
• Organizations rarely know what each key is used for, presenting not only a security risk, but also a business continuity risk
• Many SSH keys that grant access to critical servers are orphaned and no longer in use
• Key-based access grants are essentially permanent, in direct violation of SOX, PCI and FISMA requirements for proper termination of access, leaving the network vulnerable to attack
- Some organizations allow administrators the ability to create or destroy Secure Shell keys at their own discretion, which effectively grants them total and permanent access to systems and users' data
Considering the rate at which threat vectors are increasing, organizations face serious risks without correct Secure Shell key management. The more an organization strays from a best practices approach to Secure Shell key management, the larger the risk to them.
On top of all the security vulnerabilities associated with poor Secure Shell key management, organizations should be conscious of federal compliance standards like PCI, SOX, NIST and HIPAA, which require organizations to keep a high level of control over access or get fined. The average large organization has more than 20,000 servers, which results in a cost of 40 million dollars over ten years for manual Secure Shell key management. Moreover, accounting for the significant reputation damage following a security breach should present any organization with plenty of incentive to rethink their Secure Shell management policies.
Improving Key Management Polices
Luckily for organizations, problems with access control in Secure Shell environments aren't a result of any flaws in the Secure Shell protocol itself. Instead, the security and compliance risks are brought about by:
- A poor understanding of the scope and consequences of the problem
- Years of substandard guidelines or policies pertaining to SSH key management
- Not enough time and resources to gain understanding of the situation or develop solutions
- The focus of the access management field on interactive users without addressing automated access
- A lack of good tools and guidelines early on for solving key management issues
- A lack of concern from auditors to flag issues for which they don't have effective solutions
One wonders why this issue has not been brought to light earlier, considering the severity of the potential consequences. The simple answer is that Secure Shell key management is very technical, so it has remained concealed in the realm of system administrators. Since each administrator usually only sees one part of the IT environment, they often don't have a full picture what is going on. Furthermore, administrators are typically very busy, especially considering all the staff reductions in recent years, so they may not even recognize that a problem exists. Also, management could be several steps removed from the problem and its ramifications, so the end result is no action being taken.
Yet the threat continues.
Polices to Improve Secure Shell Key Management
Since the vulnerability is typically found in all Unix/Linux and many Windows servers, the process to fix the problem will require multiple IT teams' diverse skill sets. In order to fix the potential liability and compliance issues, buy-in from executive management will be necessary as well.
Some best practices to remedy the problem include:
- Automating key setups and key removals; eliminating manual work and human errors. This step slashes the number of administrators needed for key setups from possibly several hundred to only a few highly trusted administrators
- Rotating keys regularly, so that copied keys cease to work and proper termination of access can be ensured
- Restricting where each key has access and what commands can be executed using the key
- Discovering all existing users, public and private keys, and mapping trust between machines and users
- Monitoring the environment to determine which keys are actually used, and removing keys no longer in use
- Enforcing proper approvals for all key setups
Looking Forward
Proper key management is absolutely necessary for an organization's well-being. Setting strict controls for what key-based trust relationships can cross which boundaries and enforcing strict IP address and "force command" restrictions for every authorized key will greatly reduce the risks an organization faces.
The increasing amount of threat vectors means that organizations must have strict policies regarding Secure Shell key management if they mean to keep their data secure. By following the suggestions above, organizations can prepare for new security threats and compliance mandates before they happen.

<meta> tags added to your
. We finally get to make use of all that with Social Plugins — specifically the Like button. We're not going to mess around with the iframe version as we're going for full integration — XFBML or bust. It's time to party.
The Like button lets a user share your content with friends on Facebook. When the user clicks the Like button on your site, a story appears in the user's friends' News Feed with a link back to your website. ~ Like Button
The Like Button Attributes
The standard (default) Like Button plugin XFBML code looks like this:
The above code will render a like button similar to the one you see before and after this post. However, we can customize this code using the following attributes:
href– this is the page you want liked. If no URL is entered it defaults to the current page.
send– specifies whether to include a Send button with the Like button.
layout– there are 3 different layouts:
standard– displays social text to the right of the button and friends' profile photos below. Minimum width: 225 pixels. Default width: 450 pixels. Height: 35 pixels (without photos) or 80 pixels (with photos).
button_count– displays the total number of likes to the right of the button. Minimum width: 90 pixels. Default width: 90 pixels. Height: 20 pixels.
box_count– displays the total number of likes above the button (see example at beginning of this post). Minimum width: 55 pixels. Default width: 55 pixels. Height: 65 pixels.
show_faces– this toggles the faces on/off for the standard layout.
width– …umm…the width.
action– you can choose whether the button says 'like' or 'recommend'.
font– options are: 'arial', 'lucida grande', 'segoe ui', 'tahoma', 'trebuchet ms', and 'verdana'.
colorscheme– you can choose 'light' or 'dark'.
ref– for tracking referrals. For instance, the ref on the like button above this post is 'top' and below is 'bottom'. That way I know which button is being clicked more.
To create a like button similar to the one that's floated to the right at the beginning of this post I would use the following:
<fb:like layout="box_count" show_faces="false" send="false" width="55"></fb:like>
Add the Like Button to WordPress
For General WordPress Users
Open up your
single.php file or equivalent and add the following code wherever you want the Like button to appear:

<fb:like layout="box_count" show_faces="false" send="false" width="55"></fb:like>

For Thesis Theme Users
Open your
custom_functions.php and add the following:
function fb_like() {
if (is_single()) { ?>

<fb:like layout="box_count" show_faces="false" send="false" width="55"></fb:like>

<?php }
add_action('thesis_hook_before_post', 'fb_like');
Don't forget to add some CSS styles to your
custom.css file to get the button to float right:
.fb-like {
float: right;
margin: 0 0 5px 15px;
Like Button Analytics (Insights)
Since you've already added the appropriate

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.

I have been attending Kaplan University since Feb 2010. I have been battling with the Financial Aid Dept. since I started. I am having a problem getting my Financial Aid Disbursmants from my loans. I am trying to Transfer and it seems I am trapped at Kaplan because they say I owe a Balance. My plan was to pay off the balance with one of my disbursmants and then soon transfer to a local college. I dont think they are ever going to send me my student loans. Every week it seems they are verfying my account which is holding me up. I need some sort of legal advice on this one. They have enrolled me into 2 more classes and told me if I drop out Im going to owe them that balance. Can I still drop out of these two classes and wait to get my Financial Aid that they already owe me for the 2009-2010 FASFA year? Or should I go ahead and do the courses? What should I do about getting my loans if Kaplan University Online is robbing me.

I currently attend Kaplan and I completely understand your frustration with their financial aid department. It seems that the dates they set for applying your financial aid is meaningless. Unfortunately, they are not always forthcoming with what is required to receive your stipend checks.
In my three years at Kaplan I have had to fill out four educational expense applications. It is possible that you have not filled out one of these applications. If that is case then they will not cut you a stipend check. You must contact financial aid and request the application be emailed to you. You can then print it out and fax it back to them. If you do not have access to a fax machine you can use a free online fax service. I hope this helps.

Chicago staffs are loaded
At playoff time, it's all about the pitching, which ought to give the Cubs and White Sox plenty of hope.
That was 2001 in Arizona. Last year in Anaheim, the Angels won a World Series with 6.3 runs a game in the postseason from Mickey Hatcher's Heroes, an overpowering bullpen and just enough starting pitching to get by. Looking at the playoff rotation of Jarrod Washburn, Kevin Appier, Ramon Ortiz and John Lackey, would you have considered them favorites to win it all?
Starting pitching is always the best determinant of success, because no one sets the game in motion or dictates the storyline like today's starter. But this season is as jumbled and unpredictable as they come.

Pick-up from your hotel in Corralejo and Castillo resorts.
(Please advise us of your preferred pick up location at the time of booking. Kindly reconfirm pick up times upon arrival in Fuerteventura)
Please report at the meeting point 15 minutes before the start time. This is mandatory to allow time for pre-departure briefing.
Tour returns to your original point of departure
Drive over hills and valleys far from the normal road for this unique experience. This is a special tour of a spectacular island that everyone can enjoy!
Your fun-filled tour commences with a morning pick up from your hotel in Corralejo and Castillo resorts. Accompanied by an English-speaking guide, this off road safari truly takes off from Morro Jable with its rough sand tracks and miles of golden beaches.
You then drive to Cofete, which is one of the most isolated corners of Fuerteventura. The only access to this area is via one of the small dirt tracks but it's still well worth the effort just for the spectacular views!
You then drive along the eastern coast of Fuerteventura for some truly spectacular views. Then take time off to allow you to just relax or sunbathe. After the break we drive on dirt tracks all along the coast to the impressive Puerto de la Cruz.
Along the way we will be stopping for photo opportunities. As well we will make a stop on one of the beautiful beaches of Fuerteventura for a barbeque lunch.
After a splendid day exploring the island we will return you back to your hotel.
Please call the activity operator at least 48 hours prior to the start of the tour to reconfirm the departure details.
Eat up.

Last day in Andorra.
We have really enjoyed our stay in Andorra La Vella and this morning we walked into town for the last time. Today rain is threatened by mid afternoon, so we have taken advantage of this and have put the washing in so it will be completed on our return. First we went into a shop that sells bike racks, no one spoke English but we worked out measurements and pointed to heads to show we'd ...
Which Language Should We Be Speaking?

Chicago-based MPI Media Group has acquired all North American rights to Hammer Films thriller Wake Wood, which received high praises out of last November's AFM in Santa Monica, CA. The plot follows a couple whose new neighbors in a remote rural community introduce them to a pagan ritual to attempt to bring back their dead daughter. The film was shot in Ireland. Aidan Gillen, Eva Birthistle, Timothy Spall and Ella Connolly star. A theatrical release(!) in spring 2011 is planned for the film, to be followed by DVD and VOD releases. The deal was done as Toronto kicked off, by MPI's Greg Newman and Peter Naish of Exclusive Films International (sister company to Hammer). "A horror film that also stirs the heart is a rare combination, but Wake Wood is just that," said Newman. "Writer-director David Keating, co-writer Brendan McCarthy and their great cast have created a special movie that transcends genre."

Lipids in Freshwater Ecosystems
pp 203-234
Influence of Lipids on the Bioaccumulation and Trophic Transfer of Organic Contaminants in Aquatic Organisms
- Peter F. Landrum
- , Susan W. Fisher
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
In aqueous systems, organisms are exposed to contaminants via multiple routes (Fig. 9.1). The extent of contaminant accumulation ultimately depends on the extent and mode of interaction with diverse contaminated media. The influence of lipids on contaminant uptake likewise varies according to the route by which the exposure takes place and the lipophilic character of the contaminant. Thus, it is necessary to clarify the environmental sources of contaminants for accumulation. The means by which contaminants, once accumulated, can be eliminated from an organism can also depend on organism lipid content. This elimination can be modified by the route, contaminant lipophilicity, and extent of contamination of the environmental compartment into which elimination occurs.

WHAT word best conveys Labor's leadership dilemma? Profanity aside, not many.
Inside the caucus, despair is palpable. Many believe nothing can be done to reverse a steady, undignified, slide into the electoral abyss. Yet others think there is a solution.
Nobody knows if a change would make things better, or simply make them worse.
At this stage, it seems most believe the latter is true. They are sticking with Julia Gillard.
Yet the talk persists and it is not limited to the Kevin Rudd loyalists. There is a sense that something's got to give.
Apparently, the Germans have a word for this. ''Zugzwang'' translates literally to the ''compulsion to move''.
Labor is not literally compelled to move, to change leaders again, but many MPs feel it anyway. And with each successive bad opinion poll, the compulsion seems to grow.
Last week's Fairfax/Nielsen poll was a depth charge under the government because it showed its primary vote support dropping to the disastrous levels it had been when the carbon tax came into operation.
Consider the history. In July, just weeks after the carbon price finally came in, Labor's primary support, according to the Fairfax/Nielsen poll, was just 30 per cent compared with the Coalition's 47 per cent. Last week, the same.
The difference is that since July, also the time by which Tony Abbott's scare campaign over the tax had reached its jarring zenith, Gillard's long-promised recovery had begun.
Over seven consecutive Fairfax/Nielsen surveys from June, Labor's primary support rose in two-point increments - save for the final one in December, which saw a one-point rise to 35. A slew of other polls charted a similar recovery.
What was encouraging for Labor was sweet vindication for Gillard. She had steadfastly maintained to anyone who'd listen that her minority government would hold together, that Abbott's carbon-tax scare would backfire leaving him looking ridiculous, and that the election would not be called before the spring of this year, by which time Labor would again be fully competitive.
People wondering why last week's poll caused such angst need to remember this trajectory. It's the bitter disappointment of recovery thwarted - of a possible escape route suddenly closed.
Gillard's problem is exquisite. With the window for a poll recovery closing, she faces two ascendant opposition leaders - both more popular than she is.
The official one has a higher approval rating and has just gone past her as preferred prime minister for the first time in seven months. The undeclared one, Kevin Rudd, remains well out in front.
Leaving aside the fact that Rudd is not officially a contender, he remains Gillard's most immediate existential threat. His statements to the contrary are pure sophistry.
The test MPs should really apply is, what would Rudd do?
One theory is that he would attempt the neat trick of campaigning from government, but as an opposition leader.
He would attempt to ''double-down'', as the Americans say, on fears of an inevitable Abbott win and the scorched earth to follow.
Certainly he proved in 2006-07 he was an effective opposition leader. Ask John Howard.
But beyond that, Rudd would be tied to the same policies as Gillard. And like Gillard, he would have insufficient money to pay for them.

That definitely should not be happening. I really hate to think you might have to do a reset to fix it, but that might fix it. Someone else might know more. Post it in the Nook Issue thread for one, check back here frequently to see if someone has a better solution for you and if there is a BN near you, I'd take it in and have it looked at.
If you call CS, they will definitely tell you to unregister and then register again, and do a reset so if that is what you decide to do...do that before you call so you can say "that didn't work". If it does work, you won't need to call. I speak from experience here, I've had good luck with CS but only because they ALWAYS tell me to do that, therefore I do it before I call. It saves time on the phone with them and more time getting real answers.

I have noticed a lag in the home screen refresh when returning, that wasn't there before. Is there any chance this is related to whether you have chosen to select google back up services in your settings?
If the home screen settings and Google back up settings.

What browser are you using?
Try to use another browser like Firefox or Dolphin or Puffin.
It is possible that the browser is using a lot of memory and then when you return it isn't clearing up memory cleanly or there is a memory leak.
How many tabs do you have open? Do you go to a lot of websites with images and video? Are you using something like NEtflix or online Videos streaming via browser?
If it's stuff like this then you should make sure you CLOSE the Browser (kill it). And also use a good browser - you might have to try a few.
4. Re: HD troubles since 2.1.0 updatecompulsivereaderTX May 9, 2013 6:01 AM (in response to 5ivedom)
THanks 5ivedome. i didn't think about it maybe being a browser problem. Since the majority of my usage is reading, I don't always notice things like this. My computer is right here, it's easier to type with so I tend to use that. I'm not too lazy to get up and walk over to it...yet. LOL!
The only time I've ever had problems with it freezing up is when it is loading the library. Since I avoid opening the main library, I tend to forget it freezes up. I have a lot of books and it only sorts by title and author, recent, etc. Or it does now finally. Trying to get to a book in the middle of the list almost always freezes it up and I have to close the libray. It has gotten better, but it still freezes up by the time I get to the F's. I put all my on device BN books on a shelf to avoid trying to find them in the main library and it also separates them from the cloud books. Then I use the Calibre Companion to access my Sideloaded books without having to deal with the main library.

I built this house 27 years ago (actually I was my own General and hired craftsmen to get the place exactly the way I wanted it). The cabinets and doors plus all the trim were finished with Minwax stain and clear, applied by a professional finisher. There's not one piece of painted wood inside this house, it's all stain and has looked lovely until just recently. Lately streaks have been appearing. On one hall door there's a large area that is the color of the unfinished wood. It looks like somebody took steel wool and rubbed the finish off. There are no flakes on the floor so it's not chipping. The finish feels intact on the streaked areas and other than the occasional Pledge dampened dusting towel no chemicals are ever used on the wood. We keep the windows open a lot and use the heat and air sparingly. Humidity is kept within reasonable limits. It it possible that indoor stain in a clean household environment has a life span and goes away by itself? I'd welcome any ideas as to what might be causing this and what I can do without refinishing everything. Minwax hasn't been all that helpful and I'm sure one of my fellow home owners might have the right idea.
Thanks in advance.

HOW TO: Bleed brakes with a DIY Pressure Bleeder
Pressure bleeding is probably the quickest and easiest way to oneman bleed a cars brake system. however shop brake bleeders are expensive and well...theyre expensive.
heres a cheap alternative for the DIY'er
of course with the changes that you wont use GM cap (duh!) and remember to never apply more than 17psi to the brake system.
the cap in the above pictures IS indeed for a ford, not a mitsubishi, but the procedure to do a mitsu one shouldnt be much different. however if you're just going to be using it on one make/model of car you can skip using an air nipple and just use a fitting which is nipple on one side and threaded on the other with the appropriate nut, just like in the BMW DIY article.
if you have any specific questions just PM me and i'll do my best to answer them. :) good luck and good bleeding.
thought i'd update, i never did build the darn thing completely :lol: never bothered with the adapters at all.
is it possible to do this with the clutch system also?
yes, very possible
does the the bottle have to be higher or lower then the bleeder screw? i'm having a hell of a time bleeding my clutch because i didnt bench bleed my master cylinder when i installed it. vacuum bleeding is not working very well either
HAHA that is funny. The guy I work next to has a home made brake bleeder also. It works the same as the expensive ones. I would not trust the plastic brake fluid cap though. Even the guy I work next to has the billet alum pressure bleed cap. For everyday use I would use the real deal but I considered making one of these for side jobs at home.
You can also drill a hole in the top of the bottle next to the pump and put a tire schrader valve in it so you don't have to pump it. Just hit it with an air chuck to pressurize.
naw im still using the same one but i tried to bleed it again and there are still bubbles it seems like its affecting my shifting... but i was thinking about it again and i didn't adjust my clutch yet duh. but ive never adjusted one before and the tutorial is down in the garage section.

This is good advice in general, but the original problem as posed is
to cluster on two variables, latitude and longitude, so a scatter
plot, also known as a map, is readily to hand. Researchers could waste
a lot of time trying to solve this problem by cluster analysis when
there is a much easier way. (Also, to be frank, if you choose cluster
analysis, some fraction of your readership will be irritated because
you used a method they dislike, and some fraction will be laughing
quietly at technical overkill. I make that lose-lose.)
Also in practice schools tend to be where the pupils live, so there is
likely to be clustering depending on the population, so the clusters
chosen by inspection should make sense on other grounds. It's true
that private schools in some systems are often in remote properties
with extensive grounds (e.g. Hogwarts) but I will assume that the real
problem is not too complicated unless told otherwise.

According to Mardia et al (see reference below) the number of clusters k can be estimated as k=(n/2)^1/2. Thus if you have 35 schools the number of clusters is (35/2)^(1/2) = 4.
> How many schools each clusters should contain can be determined using a range of (statistical) methods. For instance, you could use the Ward method which minimizes the variance within each cluster and thus maximizes the (empirical) homogeneity within each cluster of schools. This method implies you that your schools within each clusters will be relatively "similar" and that you do not interfere in the "selection procedure" and thus in choosing how many schools there "should be" in each cluster.
