  • Best Practices / Patterns for Enterprise Protection/Remediation of SSNs (Social Security Numbers)

    - by Erik Neu
    I am interested in hearing about enterprise solutions for SSN handling. (I looked pretty hard for any pre-existing post on SO, including reviewing the terriffic SO automated "Related Questions" list, and did not find anything, so hopefully this is not a repeat.) First, I think it is important to enumerate the reasons systems/databases use SSNs: (note—these are reasons for de facto current state—I understand that many of them are not good reasons) Required for Interaction with External Entities. This is the most valid case—where external entities your system interfaces with require an SSN. This would typically be government, tax and financial. SSN is used to ensure system-wide uniqueness. SSN has become the default foreign key used internally within the enterprise, to perform cross-system joins. SSN is used for user authentication (e.g., log-on) The enterprise solution that seems optimum to me is to create a single SSN repository that is accessed by all applications needing to look up SSN info. This repository substitutes a globally unique, random 9-digit number (ASN) for the true SSN. I see many benefits to this approach. First of all, it is obviously highly backwards-compatible—all your systems "just" have to go through a major, synchronized, one-time data-cleansing exercise, where they replace the real SSN with the alternate ASN. Also, it is centralized, so it minimizes the scope for inspection and compliance. (Obviously, as a negative, it also creates a single point of failure.) This approach would solve issues 2 and 3, without ever requiring lookups to get the real SSN. For issue #1, authorized systems could provide an ASN, and be returned the real SSN. This would of course be done over secure connections, and the requesting systems would never persist the full SSN. Also, if the requesting system only needs the last 4 digits of the SSN, then that is all that would ever be passed. Issue #4 could be handled the same way as issue #1, though obviously the best thing would be to move away from having users supply an SSN for log-on. There are a couple of papers on this: UC Berkely: http://bit.ly/bdZPjQ Oracle Vault: bit.ly/cikbi1

  • gtk2 auto translation is choosing the wrong language

    - by Andrew Heath
    Not sure if yall can help this time, as I'm just using this particular program not coding with it... I downloaded Deluge, a free torrent app, and it requires GTK2 Runtime which I've also installed. Unfortunately, on my English WinXP with East Asian Language support Deluge sets itself to Chinese menus and has no option to alter the language. A bit of poking around on the internet suggests this is due to GTK2 selecting the wrong default language. Does anyone know how I can override this?

  • Restoring multiple database backups in a transaction

    - by Raghu Dodda
    I wrote a stored procedure that restores as set of the database backups. It takes two parameters - a source directory and a restore directory. The procedure looks for all .bak files in the source directory (recursively) and restores all the databases. The stored procedure works as expected, but it has one issue - if I uncomment the try-catch statements, the procedure terminates with the following error: error_number = 3013 error_severity = 16 error_state = 1 error_message = DATABASE is terminating abnormally. The weird part is sometimes (it is not consistent) the restore is done even if the error occurs. The procedure: create proc usp_restore_databases ( @source_directory varchar(1000), @restore_directory varchar(1000) ) as begin declare @number_of_backup_files int -- begin transaction -- begin try -- step 0: Initial validation if(right(@source_directory, 1) <> '\') set @source_directory = @source_directory + '\' if(right(@restore_directory, 1) <> '\') set @restore_directory = @restore_directory + '\' -- step 1: Put all the backup files in the specified directory in a table -- declare @backup_files table ( file_path varchar(1000)) declare @dos_command varchar(1000) set @dos_command = 'dir ' + '"' + @source_directory + '*.bak" /s/b' /* DEBUG */ print @dos_command insert into @backup_files(file_path) exec xp_cmdshell @dos_command delete from @backup_files where file_path IS NULL select @number_of_backup_files = count(1) from @backup_files /* DEBUG */ select * from @backup_files /* DEBUG */ print @number_of_backup_files -- step 2: restore each backup file -- declare backup_file_cursor cursor for select file_path from @backup_files open backup_file_cursor declare @index int; set @index = 0 while(@index < @number_of_backup_files) begin declare @backup_file_path varchar(1000) fetch next from backup_file_cursor into @backup_file_path /* DEBUG */ print @backup_file_path -- step 2a: parse the full backup file name to get the DB file name. declare @db_name varchar(100) set @db_name = right(@backup_file_path, charindex('\', reverse(@backup_file_path)) -1) -- still has the .bak extension /* DEBUG */ print @db_name set @db_name = left(@db_name, charindex('.', @db_name) -1) /* DEBUG */ print @db_name set @db_name = lower(@db_name) /* DEBUG */ print @db_name -- step 2b: find out the logical names of the mdf and ldf files declare @mdf_logical_name varchar(100), @ldf_logical_name varchar(100) declare @backup_file_contents table ( LogicalName nvarchar(128), PhysicalName nvarchar(260), [Type] char(1), FileGroupName nvarchar(128), [Size] numeric(20,0), [MaxSize] numeric(20,0), FileID bigint, CreateLSN numeric(25,0), DropLSN numeric(25,0) NULL, UniqueID uniqueidentifier, ReadOnlyLSN numeric(25,0) NULL, ReadWriteLSN numeric(25,0) NULL, BackupSizeInBytes bigint, SourceBlockSize int, FileGroupID int, LogGroupGUID uniqueidentifier NULL, DifferentialBaseLSN numeric(25,0) NULL, DifferentialBaseGUID uniqueidentifier, IsReadOnly bit, IsPresent bit ) insert into @backup_file_contents exec ('restore filelistonly from disk=' + '''' + @backup_file_path + '''') select @mdf_logical_name = LogicalName from @backup_file_contents where [Type] = 'D' select @ldf_logical_name = LogicalName from @backup_file_contents where [Type] = 'L' /* DEBUG */ print @mdf_logical_name + ', ' + @ldf_logical_name -- step 2c: restore declare @mdf_file_name varchar(1000), @ldf_file_name varchar(1000) set @mdf_file_name = @restore_directory + @db_name + '.mdf' set @ldf_file_name = @restore_directory + @db_name + '.ldf' /* DEBUG */ print 'mdf_logical_name = ' + @mdf_logical_name + '|' + 'ldf_logical_name = ' + @ldf_logical_name + '|' + 'db_name = ' + @db_name + '|' + 'backup_file_path = ' + @backup_file_path + '|' + 'restore_directory = ' + @restore_directory + '|' + 'mdf_file_name = ' + @mdf_file_name + '|' + 'ldf_file_name = ' + @ldf_file_name restore database @db_name from disk = @backup_file_path with move @mdf_logical_name to @mdf_file_name, move @ldf_logical_name to @ldf_file_name -- step 2d: iterate set @index = @index + 1 end close backup_file_cursor deallocate backup_file_cursor -- end try -- begin catch -- print error_message() -- rollback transaction -- return -- end catch -- -- commit transaction end Does anybody have any ideas why this might be happening? Another question: is the transaction code useful ? i.e., if there are 2 databases to be restored, will SQL Server undo the restore of one database if the second restore fails?

  • How to configure VTK on windows for C++ programming?

    - by Rasoul
    I am new to windows C/C++ programming. I am trying to get a binary program (.exe) to run which needs VTK library. I have installed VTK from http://vtk.org/VTK/resources/software.html on 64-bit windows 7. When I run the binary program, it generates an error in a window saying that "vtkCommon.dll is missing from your computer". Should I add the folder in which VTK has been installed to the windows PATH?

  • socket.shutdown vs socket.close

    - by Jason Baker
    I recently saw a bit of code that looked like this (with sock being a socket object of course): sock.shutdown(socket.SHUT_RDWR) sock.close() What exactly is the purpose of calling shutdown on the socket and then closing it? If it makes a difference, this socket is being used for non-blocking IO.

  • Mapping a BigInteger to a circle

    - by Martin
    I have a C# system using 160 bit numbers, stored in a BigInteger. I want to display these things on a circle, which means mapping the 0-2^160 range into the 0-2Pi range. How would I do this? The approach that jumps instantly to mind is angle = (number / pow(2, 160)) * TwoPi; However, that has complexities because the division will truncate the result into an integer.

  • Where can I find an introduction to using PDO?

    - by aslum
    I know my SQL safety isn't up to par. I've read on this site that PHP PDO would be a good first step, and while I did take a look at the PDO Manual it's a bit daunting. Is there somewhere I can find a tutorial on the basics of using PDO rather then straight MySQL calls?

  • Alpha-Beta cutoff

    - by Becky
    I understand the basics of this search, however the beta cut-off part is confusing me, when beta <= value of alphabeta I can either return beta, break, or continue the loop. return beta doesn't seem to work properly at all, it returns the wrong players move for a different state of the board (further into the search tree) break seems to work correctly, it is very fast but it seems a bit TOO fast continue is a lot slower than break but it seems more correct...I'm guessing this is the right way but pseudocode on google all use 'break' but because this is pseudocode I'm not sure what they mean by 'break'

  • How to switch position of two items in a Python list?

    - by mikl
    I haven’t been able to find a good solution for this problem on the net (probably because switch, position, list and Python are all such overloaded words). It’s rather simple – I have this list: ['title', 'email', 'password2', 'password1', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'next', 'newsletter'] I’d like to switch position of 'password2' and 'password1' – not knowing their exact position, only that they’re right next to one another and password2 is first. I’ve accomplished this with some rather long-winded list-subscripting, but I wondered if someone could come up with something a bit more elegant?

  • Determining when scrolled to bottom of a page with Javascript

    - by chimerical
    I'm trying to determine when I've scrolled to the bottom of the page (without using any JS library), but so far, I'm a bit confused over which one of the following to use. The most promising one I've seen is window.scrollY, but even when scrolled to the bottom of the page, it never matches the value of window.innerHeight. What's the best way to do this? window.innerWidth window.innerHeight window.outerWidth window.outerHeight window.scrollX window.scrollY document.body.scrollWidth document.body.scrollHeight document.body.scrollTop document.body.scrollLeft document.body.offsetTop document.body.offsetLeft document.body.offsetWidth document.body.offsetHeight

  • JavaCC for .NET?

    - by Tigraine
    Hi Guys, I've been spending some time doing JavaCC parser generation for assignments at University and was wondering if there is a similar simple parser generator framework for .NET available? I know there is ANTLR, but I found it a bit too big for my taste and really started to like the simplicity that JavaCC brings.. greetings Daniel

  • Using memcpy/memset

    - by Andrew Coad
    When using memset or memcpy within an Obj-C program, will the compiler optimise the setting (memset) or copying (memcpy) of data into 32-bit writes or will it do it byte by byte?

  • Problem with return 2 libc method

    - by jth
    Hi, I'am trying to understand the return2libc method. I'am using an ubuntu linux 9.10, 32 bit with ASLR disabled. In theory, it sounds quite easy, overwrite the saved eip with the address of system() (or whatever function you want), then put the address to which system() should return and after that, the parameter for system, the "/bin/bash"-string. But what happens is that my exploit keeps segfaulting the vulnerable program. I assume something with the system()-address went wrong. This is what I did so far: Determined the address of system(): (gdb) print system $1 = {<text variable, no debug info>} 0x167020 <system> (gdb) x/x system 0x167020 <system>: 0x890cec83 I used the subsequent x/x system because those 3 bytes returned by print system looks like an index in some sort of jumptable (PLT?), so I assume 0x890cec83 is the right address which is used to overwrite the saved eip. After that I determined the address of the /bin/bash string in memory, using a small C program which basically consists of this line: printf("Address of string /bin/bash: %p\n", getenv("SHELL")); Then I looked a little bit around in the memory and fount /bin/bash: (gdb) x/s 0xbffff6ca 0xbffff6ca: "/bin/bash" After I gathered this information, I filled the buffer: (gdb) b 9 Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048407: file victim.c, line 9. (gdb) r `perl -e 'print "A"x9 . "\x83\xec\x0c\x89FAKE\xca\f6\ff\bf";'` Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1111638594, argv=0xc360cca) at victim.c:10 10 return 0; (gdb) x/s 0xbffff6ca 0xbffff6ca: "/bin/bash" Stack frame looks like this: (gdb) i f Stack level 0, frame at 0xbffff440: eip = 0x8048407 in main (victim.c:10); saved eip 0x890cec83 source language c. Arglist at 0xbffff438, args: argc=1111638594, argv=0xc360cca Locals at 0xbffff438, Previous frame's sp is 0xbffff440 Saved registers: ebp at 0xbffff438, eip at 0xbffff43c This seems all right to me, saved eip was overwritten with the (hopefully) correct system()-address, return address for system was set to "FAKE" (shouldn't matter) and the address of /bin/bash also seems to be correct. When I'am continuing the execution, victim segfaults on some strange address and certainly not in 0x890cec83: (gdb) cont Continuing. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0804840d in main (argc=Cannot access memory at address 0x41414149 ) at victim.c:11 11 } Has anyone an explanation or a hint what happens here and why the execution isn't redirected to 0x890cec83? Thanks in advance, any hint, and be it only vague, would be appreciated. I have no idea why this doesn't work.

  • UITableView performance difference between Iphone 3G and 3GS ?

    - by gotye
    Hey guys, I managed to put my new app on an adhoc distribution but I just noticed that I only have 3GS's ... It is working quite good on the 3GS (could be a bit faster but that's fine) ... but do you think I should test it on the 3G ? I know there has been a lot of improvements between 3G and 3GS but would that infer on my uitableview performance ? Thanks, Gotye.

  • vshost.exe file in Release folder?

    Why there is a appname.vshost.exe file generated for the release version of my application? I might add that I'm using an external dll library and some unsafe code. What's even more interesting, my application launched from Release folder does not work correctly (it works OK when launched from Debug folder). It's bit hard to explain - feel free to ask if you need more info.

  • Visual Studio 2010 and WinCE 5.0

    - by koloko
    Is it possible to use a platform builder 5.0 SDK in visual studio 2010 for a C++ project. I want to compile code for a specific ARM WinCE 5.0 environment and I have VS2010 at the moment. The Microsoft website recommends visual studio 2005. I'm currently downloading the VS2005 evaluation but I'm also a bit worried about installing this on a machine that already has vs2010 installed. Any advise would be greatly received.

  • What do I use if a CSS framework or grid is bad?

For a little bit I thought a grid was the new thing and the best, now it appears I am wrong after all and not sure of best practice. And, yes, I can write my own CSS but didn't want to create the infrastructure if I didn't have to.
