Anonymous Proxy: A Growing Trend in Internet Abuse | 2008-09-09 | Bloxx |
| Anonymous proxies are an unseen threat--a student's or employee's backdoor to malicious or productivity-sapping sites on the Internet. If your URL filtering solution relies on the old-school URL database/keyword approach, your ship is leaking and you may not see the holes.

This paper offers a primer on the problems, the sizable costs and time drain for IT professionals, and a discussion of an effective third-generation solution that goes far beyond the traditional strategy.

| or more (fighting) Anti-virus clients can be quite a predicament. One instance that caught the author off guard and left him without a proper Recovery Console, SafeMode or Regular Mode.

The authors first thought when noticing that the recovery console would not see the "C:\" drive, was that, it being SATA, did not get recognized by the poor hardware support the XP CD had to offer.
