anti virus acting up/DNS poisoning Both of those sound like generic signatures designed to find obfuscated executables and keygens. |

DDoS on LAN: How to Defend? Good answer, but the abundance of corporate / product links makes me queasy. Could you look for some more neutral sources? |

DDoS on LAN: How to Defend? @ewanm89 Sure, but a DDoS on LAN doesn't really make much sense anyway. I was considering a scenario where someone infects all machines in a single office room, which would (likely) be connected to a single switch. My advice works for multiple geographically distributed attackers too, since you can just look at which switches are receiving spurious traffic. That covers the smurf attack too. |

Bypassing Trusted Computing Welcome to IT Security. I'm having trouble discerning what your question is. We have some rules on StackExchange about question clarity and quality, which you can read as part of the FAQ. Care to clarify? |

Should Stack Exchange be more obscure in its systems' structure? Yeah, and the whole "security by obscurity" thing has gone so well for governments, too. |

How to block or detect user setting up their own personal wifi AP in our LAN? @FeralOink Of course - I wasn't implying that every whim must be catered too. But, at the end of the day, all security decisions must include an understanding of the users' needs and business requirements. However, it's also important to remember that security is a business requirement, so it's always about finding the right balance. |

How to block or detect user setting up their own personal wifi AP in our LAN? Thank you for pointing out the most important part of this, which I completely glazed over - users don't just do stuff, they do it for a reason. IT and security are support roles, and they need to cater for users' needs. |
