Linux / Bug in Grub2 which compromises security on Login
« on: January 07, 2016, 02:38:53 pm »
The Grub2 bootloader from versions 1.98 to 2.02 has a bug which allows access to the system without a proper login.

At the login prompt simply press the backspace key 28 times and it allows access. Something to do with buffer overflow.

The fault has existed from December 2009 to December 2015 and is in the bootloader only. It can only occur if keyed in directly.

Loadmaster / Emailing invoices
« on: January 06, 2016, 01:26:01 pm »
To email invoices to more than one person simply add a semi-colon after the first address on their account and then type in another.

So if I had -

fred@zipzap.co.uk

I could add Joe by -

fred@zipzap.co.uk;joe@zipzap.co.uk

Cybersecurity / HSBC issues 06/01/2016
« on: January 06, 2016, 01:24:39 pm »
Many HSBC account holders are unable to log into their accounts over the last few days.

This does not appear to be an attack of any kind and more of a technical 'glitch'.

I saw this on a T shirt. A Linux geek of course.

Miscellaneous / Help during the Christmas period 2015
« on: December 17, 2015, 10:02:31 pm »
We may not be in the office over the Christmas period at times.

The easiest way to get help is to email support@zipzap.eu but it will have a quicker response if you have an up-to-date support contract.

Loadmaster / What is the latest version?
« on: December 17, 2015, 09:50:42 pm »
Easy. Go to Help in the program and look for the option on the menu.

You will be told what the current version is, when it was altered and what changes have been made.
