Cloudflare announced the launch of its new public DNS service 1.1.1.1 on April 1, 2018. The company promised in the announcement that 1.1.1.1 would offer faster speeds and better privacy than other public DNS systems provided by companies such as Google, Yandex or Cisco.

The idea of CIA agents looking for trouble every turn they don't find a monster really makes my inner child happy. And a little scared.

Microsoft is hosting its Inspire 2017 partner conference this week, kicking off the event with a big announcement for business and enterprise customers. Many of its corporate customers already have Office 365 and Windows 10 subscriptions, and Microsoft is now launching new, simplified subscriptions that bring these products together with other tools.
"Today," the company said, "we’re excited to announce Microsoft 365, a new set of offerings that include Office 365, Windows 10, and Enterprise Mobility + Security, to create a complete, intelligent, secure solution." Microsoft said this marks "a fundamental shift" in its approach to how it designs and launches its products for the needs of businesses.
There are two Microsoft 365 tiers. Microsoft 365 Enterprise is based on the existing Secure Productive Enterprise plan, and includes Office 365 Enterprise, Windows 10 Enterprise, and the Enterprise Mobility + Security suite. Microsoft said this tier is intended for larger organizations.
Microsoft 365 Business will launch in public preview on August 2, and is designed for "small- to medium-sized business with up to 300 users. It includes Office 365 Business Premium, along with "tailored security and management features from Windows 10 and Enterprise Mobility + Security", as well as a "centralized console for deploying and securing devices and users in one location."
Microsoft 365 Business will be priced at $20 per user per month when it launches worldwide in fall 2017, but pricing of the Enterprise offerings haven't yet been announced. We do know that there will be two plans - Microsoft 365 E3 and 365 E5 - in the Enterprise tier, which will be available to buy from August 1.
Microsoft said that these new offerings will also provide "exciting new opportunities" for its global partner community, while simplifying management for the customers that use them.
Using Windows 10 Administrative Shares
By Adam BertramMARCH 29, 2016 1:00 PM
In Windows 10, administrative shares work the same in domain environments. But when dealing with Windows 10 systems in a workgroup you'll have to use a workaround to get access to administrative Windows 10 shares—here's how.
The administrative shares that have been part of Windows for a long time have been a staple for remote file management for IT pros. Administrative file shares are the hidden shares on a Windows computer with a name that ends with a dollar sign. By default, these shares share out the contents of every drive on a system and also include shares like admin$ and IPC$ to perform various administrative functions. In Windows 10, these administrative shares still exist but require an extra step in order to work properly. Let's go over how to setup these administrative shares in Windows 10.

First, in domain environments, the administrative Windows 10 shares work as they always have. You simply provide a domain user account with permission to connect to the remote machine and it works. However, an issue arises when you have two Windows 10 computers in a workgroup. While in a workgroup, when you attempt to connect to an administrative share on a Windows 10 computer you will be prompted for a username and password as expected but you will receive a misleading Access Denied error message.
This is related to User Account Control (UAC) and requires a registry modification in order to work properly. By default, UAC remotely restricts these shares from being accessed. In order to successfully connect to an administrative share, you'll need to disable this feature. To do this, you'll need to create (or modify) a registry DWORD value called LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and set it to a value of 1.
To do this, either log onto the console of the remote machine locally, via remote desktop or some other remote console application. Then, type in regedit in the search bar, which will bring up the registry editor.
Once in the registry editor, drill down to the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System. Then, right click on the System, click on New and then choose DWORD (32-bit) Value.
From here, you are given the option to name the new registry value. Give it a name of exactly LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy and hit Enter.
Once you've created the registry key, it will have a value of 0; this needs to be a 1. To change it to a 1, double click on the registry value and put a 1 in for Value data.
This will create the registry value and should be all you need to connect to the administrative share successfully. This method should open up all administrative shares which consist of the C$, any additional drive shares, admin$ and IPC$.
When this step is complete, attempt to connect to an administrative share again. You should again be prompted for a username and password. Once given the appropriate credentials, you should now be presented with a file system listing of everything in the location that the share represents.
One of my best classes in college was a class called The Organization of Programming Languages. It was taught by someone who was giving back time as a professional in the industry, rather than a professor. Many years later, it is one of the only ones that sticks in my mind and that I use. I've gone from and to many different languages - Pascal to VB to C to C++ to Delphi to C# (and I currently dabble in a few others). The syntax has never been the problem. You can always find syntax. It's the data structures and memory management and such that are always the sticking point. If you can get those, you can rapidly move from one language to another with a minimum of difficulty.-wraith808 (March 03, 2015, 07:19 PM)
