Network drive encryption mac question?

On a Mac you can use Filevault (system preferences) or you can create encrypted disk images with Disk Utility (Applications:Utilities) and store your sensitive data in them. \n\nYou're never really safe with Windows, but there are ways to lock folders. Try doing a web search for locking folders.

No, you cannot restrict access to the Shared Documents folder and you cannot restrict access to a hard drive either. You can encrypt the files in the Shared Documents folder and on the hard drive which would require a password to be entered to access the encrypted files. A good free encryption program is TrueCrypt (downloadable from pcworld.com)

Maybe. The Best way to use this is with 'Mac Address Filtering', then nobody can access your network!

A free and excellent solution is logmein.com. It's an encrypted, secure connection that allows you to take over your pc remotely. An upgraded plus version requires $$, but will allow even more flexiblity. The free version does not allow shared folders or data transfers, but you can get around this by using email, yahoo briefcase, etc. This solution works behind firewalls and routers.

Hello there. Go to applications --> Utilities --> NetInfo Manager. You probably will have to authenticate the program. To do that, click on the lock on the bottom of the application (if it is locked) and enter your administrator password. When you do that, the program is now authenticated. You then want to go to security, and enable root user. It will ask you for your administrator password to enable the root user. After you enter your password, the root user is enabled. You can then logout of your account and login using the root account. If you have your login window display list of users, it appears as system administrator. If you have it set to name and password, type in root for the username. I highly recommend that you put a password on the root account. It is a powerful account, and the root account can access every file and folder on the mac. I have screenshots if you would like them. My e-mail address is bfn1986@sbcglobal.net\n\nHope this helps,\nBrian

AFAIK, if you use Windows XP, it can create windows startup disk. The windows startup disk can be used to bypass administrative password.\n\nOther than that, you may be need the use of keylogger, and secretly installed that program onto the administrator's computer when he's gone. But that's dirty, you know. =)\n\nOh yes, you can also use password hacking generator that can generate password to connect to the targetted computer from another computer that connected to the LAN. But this only can be done if the computer is also connected to the LAN only. If it isn't (no internet / LAN connection) then you are screwed. =)

To get a full understanding listen to episode 13 of "Security Now!" It will give you a hand with wep/wpa (use wpa if you can) encryption, and how easy it is to do.  \n\nI also suggest using a encryption key from Gibson Research Corporation's password page.  Be sure to copy the password into a text document for safe keeping so you wont forget it.

Two proposal :\n1- On control panel click on User accounts and define an account yourself and activate password protection for it \nI should say if you are administrator of computer you can do this .Create another limited account for other members of family so they can not use your account at windows start up and they must choose limited account and as an administrator of computer you can save your files on adminstrator folder in documents and settings and your data \nwill be private .you must start your computer in safe mode and activate password for each account except limited acounts that you have created it before for family members.\n2- If your format is FAT32 you can not to encrypt your files or folders but if you format your hard drive as NTFS \nyou will be able to encrypt them.

Turn off SSID, turn on encryption (WEP or WPA) and turn on MAC address filtering.

You can use a network or you can link them using a firewire cable. If you press the 'T' key while booting, a mac will act as a firewire harddrive. The other computer can then access the files on the harddrive as if it was connected to a external harddrive.

Go to my documents, click the sharing tab and mark Make this folder private.  Most Local Area Networks (LAN) can be accessed via the "My Network Places " Folder , check that out and try to see if your files are there.

What will be the volume of the data? Can those data be encrypted?

When you are in the setup menu of the router, there is a Tab "Wireless". In that menu you should find another Tab called "Wireless MAC Filter". Set the wireless MAC filter on "Enable" and chose "Permit Only", then edit the Mac Filter List. Insert there all the MAC addresses of those users they can afford to use this wireless network (Caution, the setting on Enable comes last). All others are then excluded.\nAll MAC addresses can be found on the sticker of the wireless adapter, or in case of a built-in adapter in a notebook, the MAC address is printed on the bottom of the notebook.\nFurther on I would suggest to use a WEP or WPA encryption (depends on what opportunities all users PCs have in common. You cannot have both encryption systems at the same time). As the administrator you have to setup this on the router and you have to hand over this encryption code to all the legal users and tell them to keep it secret.

I would really recommend using NTPassword, it can be found as an ISO.  If you need to remove the drive, then do that if you must.

If you log into your router, you can look at the lan configuration and see what computers are using the network, but if you are using WEP encryption, it should not be an issue anyway.

What you need is Aircrack. But you'll have to run the Linux version of it, because under Windows there is no tool for capturing the relevant packets.\n\nAlternatively, you could use KisMAC - but that one is available for Macs only.\n\nSee below for a few relevant links.
