Accessibility of certain security and monitoring products
by Chris Nestrud 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hello all, I would appreciate comments from anyone who has used any of the following security-related products. I am particularly interested in their accessibility or lack thereof and any workarounds that you had to develop to get things done. Links included for the curious. Nessus Scanner By Tenable: http://www.tenable.com/products/nessus Web interface works best using NVDA and Firefox; reports can be exported as csv. Cisco Security Monitoring, Analysis, and Response System (MARS): http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/security/security-monitoring-analysis- response-system/index.html HP ArcSight SIEM: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/software-solutions/siem-security-information-event- management/ NfSen: http://nfsen.sourceforge.net/ Unsure of accessibility; other CLI tools such as nfdump are available for intercepting and extracting netflow data. TippingPoint Security Management System: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/software-solutions/software.html?compURI=1344453#.U 95ick10yig Nagios - The Industry Standard in IT Infrastructure Monitoring: http://www.nagios.org Uses Perl or shell scripts for plugins, unsure of accessibility of web interface. Thanks in advance for any information, Chris

maybe some one could record an audio discription of the screen shots that will play when you get to those questions.

Hello, Does anyone know how to do either an unattended install of server 08r2, or can any of the win7 talking installers do a server install? I'm trying to upgrade my server knowledge and wanting to go 03 to 08, any digital books would also be appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

OT: linux/Ubuntu for Ruby on Rails
by Chamandeep Singh Grover 29 May '15

29 May '15

Hi All, Sorry for the off topic post. I have always been very interested to work with Ruby on rails, I have created a few apps on windows, however it is not considered the best method in industry to use Windows for developing Ruby on Rails applications. So my question is, How accessible is Linux and Ubuntu for me if I am moving from Windows 8 with Jaws. I understand they are completely different environments and different ways of working, but is the accessibility stable enough for me to consider looking into this further as a career? Or does setting up and negotiating with accessibility issues take much longer and therefore will generally be unproductive. Has anyone on this list attempted to use something like Ruby mine or Sublime text? Look forward to your comments. Chamandeep singh Grover

Splunk accessibility
by Chris Nestrud 28 May '15

Anyone have any comments on using Splunk, particularly their app for Enterprise Security? On the surface, the commandline and REST API seem usable, while the web user interface seems accessible apart from some unlabeled elements. Chris

certification questions
by Kelly Prescott 17 May '15

17 May '15

Hello to all on this list. My name is Kelly Prescott and I am currently enrolled for a degree in Information Technology-Network Administration. I am not new to this area, but up to now, my experience is with Unix/Linux systems which I have little to no problem with in terms of accessability. I managed the Network Operations Center for a ISP for about 10 years, so I am relatively experienced. My weak points are stuff involving Windows as that was not my area. This program is All Windows All the time! I am trying to do the Microsoft certifications and my forst cert attempt was a total non-success. Certiport who provided the test said it was accessible with JAWS, and it was not. So my first question is Is there anyone on here who has gone through the certification process with Microsoft, and if so, how did you manage accessability? My testing center knows less than I do about the process, and when I called certiport customer service, They told me to send a email. I did that, but I am looking for input/ideas from others so I don't have to "blaze" a new trail from scratch. -- Kelly PRescott
