High Quality Toilet Replacement Parts to Help with Any Repair
The One2Flush Toilet Repair Kit brings the high quality of the One2Flush conversion valves to toilet replacement parts. The IAPMO certification to the durability of the flush valves and fill valves extends to even the smaller parts. The high-quality, 440 grade stainless steel bolts and oversize conical tank gaskets eliminate leak possibilities from the tank. The double nut feature ensures that the tank is sealed prior to attaching the bowl. The lower cushion washers aid in securing a connection to the bowl. The stainless steel wing nuts make tightening the tank to bowl eliminates the need for a wrench and the possibility of over-tightening.

RSAC2010: Sourcefire
Snort was one of the first security tools I ever used. When I was working in a small computer lab years ago, I set up a Snort sensor just to see what was there. And there was a lot in that particular environment. I’ve used it many times since then and I found out at RSA that the first Sourcefire implementation I performed is still in place, basically unchanged since I left. This is why I always take the opportunity to talk to Marty Roesch at Sourcefire if I can at RSAC. This time I got a chance to talk to him about the omnipresent APT (he prefer’s using the term APA, coined by @nselby and others), the security existential crisis, the work Sourcefire is doing with Immunet, the Cloud and Sourcefire’s virtual appliances. All that noise you hear in the background is the Securosis Recovery Breakfast.
Live Aviation Security Chat with Secretary Napolitano on Facebook 3/9/10
Go ahead and figure out your questions now and stop by tomorrow and maybe you’ll get your question answered. Remember, this is an aviation security chat, so if you have questions about carnivorous plants, it’s probably not the best forum.
Speaking of the Secretary, earlier today she announced President Obama's intent to nominate retired Army Major General Robert A. Harding as the new appointee for the job of TSA Administrator. Take a gander over at C-SPAN.
Thanks,

RSAC2010: ISC2
I’ve been a member of the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium [(ISC)2] for nearly a decade; I passed my CISSP test in November of 2002 and don’t have to worry much about CPE’s until at least 2011. So when I was offered an opportunity to talk to Hord Tipton, Executive Director of the (ISC)2, I didn’t hesitate to take them up on the offer. We started off easy, talking about what’s new at the (ISC)2, and the Safe & Secure Online Program. Then we moved on to the harder questions, like “What have you done for me lately?” and “What are you doing about people who shouldn’t be CISSP’s in the first place?” The (ISC)2 is never going to make all of us who are certified happy, and that they are taking some steps to address concerns about unqualified practitioners, but it’d be nice if they were a little more public about it. Oh, and you’ll hear at the end that the (ISC)2 definitely accepts listening to podcasts for CPE’s. I forgot to ask about producing them.

RSAC2010: Kaspersky Lab
It’s hard doing interviews on the showroom floor at RSAC. Even the relatively quiet places are incredibly noisy when you get right down to it. The good thing is it hopefully masked the worst of my mispronunciation of Roel Schouwenberg’s name. Roel is the Senior Anti-Virus Researcher at Kaspersky Lab and spent some time talking to me in the Threat Post booth on the showroom floor at RSA 2010. We started off talking about the omnipresent APT, moved into slicing apart signature-based AV and end up on organized crime and what the future may bring.

RSAC2010: Astaro Internet Security
Jan Hichert, CEO of Astaro Internet Security, and I met in one of the quieter hallways of the 2010 RSA Convention. Of course, ‘quiet’ is a relative term when it comes to RSA, but the audio came out acceptable in any case. We talked about several of the new products Astaro is offering this year, including Astaro Mail Archiving, Astaro Wireless Security and Astaro RED. We finished the conversation talking about Jack Daniel’s new position at Astaro, social media and Security BSides. I think Astaro is one of the few security companies that actually get social media, in large part thanks to Jack.

Spring is Closer than it Looks
Spring is right around the corner (we know if you are in the Midwest or East Coast you’re probably thinking…”really?”, but it’s true!). Day light savings time is 3/14, and soon enough Spring will be sprung with BBQs, baseball and outdoor fun. Are you ready? If not, we just added a TON of new Smart Solar products. Smart Solar is a new company we are working with to provide you with some cool products for your yard.

RSAC2010: F-Secure
While I’m sure Mikko Hypponen, Chief Research Officer at F-Secure, is getting as tired as hearing the term APT* as the rest of us are, he had some insight into what’s really happening with this threat and the fact that it’s not something new, it’s just the acknowledgment that it’s happening that’s new. He’s been seeing similar attacks going on for nearly six years, what’s changed is the recognition and public attention to the threat that’s something new. He believes that the organized crime component of malware will be moving to smart phones as the criminals realize that it’s easier to make money quickly and easily from phones than the complicated hoops they have to jump through to make money from computers.
* I’m with @CSOAndy who believe the A in APT should stand for Adaptive, not Advance. It’s much more descriptive of what’s really happening.

Network Security Podcast, Episode 187
Note: Rich and I were kind of busy this week, so we let Zach run with the podcast. Now I have to go back and listen myself to hear what was said. I’ve been told I shouldn’t be worried, but…
Martin and Rich are away at RSA — and I’m all alone. Well, actually, I have a special guest host: Jamie Arlen (a.k.a. Myrcurial) — and boy did we have a lot to talk about. Tonight’s show is a bigun’, clocking in at about 50 minutes. So, apologies for the lengthy show and file.

RSAC2010: Panda Security
I caught up with Pedro Bustamante, Senior Research Analyst from Panda Security, for a brief interview about what his company is doing in 2010. Panda recently received ICSA Lab certification of their cloud AV product, which required some retooling of the ICSA processes. Panda is releasing a new, free, no-registration version of their product as well as an upgraded version of their existing anti-virus that includes many of the features that Panda customers have been asking for. We talked about a new USB vaccine Panda is releasing which ‘inoculates’ a USB drive by writing an unalterable file to the drive before a virus can. Finally we discussed the sheer amount of data Panda is collecting and how much of it they’re able to process automatically. But there does, and always will, remain a small fraction of a percent of the data that has to be inspected by human beings to catch the new and the interesting that malware writers are creating.
