  1. For the love of god, DO NOT USE MOLEX TO PCI ADAPTERS. I almost burnt down my house using one adapter to feed my GPU within a couple of days between a PSU swap. I was lucky I started to smell the burnt plastic. Don't do it. Get a proper PSU.  
    As others have said, your GPU crashes your system due to lack of power. Don't push it like that, or else you could cause a PSU malfunction and possibly overload the rails. God forbid if 12v enter your 3.3 or 5v rails. You will fuck every single component on your PC. 

  2. It is in fact a company setup. I'm looking at using encryption based on certificates / keys that are installed to the user based on GPO upon login to our AD. I'm still experimenting with it, but in theory, if someone has the files, but is not logged in our domain, they wouldn't have the key to decrypt it, and the data should be safe if copied to somewhere outside our network.

     

    Thanks to everyone for all the input so far.

    If the attackers are in any way interested in the data and not just the ransom, they're going to go with option one or two.

    While the server is running, Windows and/or programs can obviously read the file's contents, encryption/decryption is transparent. So malware running on the server can read anything it has access to.

    That's what I thought 😞

     

    Any suggestions to avoid data accessibility to possible attrackers besides not getting infected on the first place? 

     

     

     

  4. I see three possible vectors:

    Attacker gets access to the server itself - This might be the easiest way to the attacker recover and release the data, as it's already accessible from the OS;

    Attacker gets access to a client that is connected trough the network storage - might be just as easy to copy the files that the specific user has permissions to access, as they are accessible trough the OS;

    Attacker uses some network vulnerability to attack the server - This might be the "least worse" scenario, as the files should be encrypted to non participants of the network share.

     

     

  5. Hi guys!

    I run a couple of Windows servers at work, for network storage.

     

    We have daily cloud backups and AV/AR, so data availability /restoration is not an issue, but I'm worried about data leaks in case of ransomware attacks.

     

    Does disk encryption (bitlocker, or something similar) help to prevent the data from being read / released by the attacker? Or is it already decrypted when they copy it from my OS to their server?

    You can use two cards independently to drive more screens without SLI (which isn't even needed here).

     

    What you propose should work fine.

    Does it matter if I go Nvidia or AMD? 

    I'm looking at the XFX Radeon RX 570 4GB. Not the cheapest, but it seems to get the job done. Any other recomendations?

    I'd get 2 GT 710 ASUS GeForce GT 710, GT710-4H-SL-2GD5, 2GB GDDR5, 4x HDMI

    it has 4 hdmi ports ( only 1.4 but you said 4K 30Hz is also ok )

    in my country they cost about 60€

    I can only seem to find it with VGA + HDMI + DVI. Haven't found any with 4 HDMI.

  7. Hi guys!

    I'm considering replacing the videowall solution we have at work (it uses some shitty network based proprietary solution) with one GPU (or two) that supports 6 4k60 (30hz is acceptable) displays.

    I'll be using it to monitor multiple browser based security cam streams (average of 127kbps per camera, but I can't extrapolate GPU resource consumption from this).

    I've been looking to get two Quadros P620 mainly due to the low price (economy in Brazil is a joke right now), but one of the salesman told me it would not support SLI and wouldn't work for the 6 displays, even though I've found different information on other online forums.

    Do any of you use 6 4k displays, or have any recomendations that you are sure that would work? 

    Thanks in advance.

    Edit: displays must be connected via HDMI, as they have no DP input.
     

  8. 17 PIA users who were using VPN to download torrents got sued in the US. PIA confirms to have a no log policy, but aparently the users registered accounts on the websites using their real email addresses.

    “There are no logs kept for any person or entity to match an IP address and a timestamp to a current or former user of our service,” PIA said at the time.

    That said, defendants are still at risk, as their email addresses are known as well. That doesn’t prove anything, as YTS allowed members to sign up with a fake email, but it could lead to people being identified eventually, without PIA’s involvement.

    If anything, this case shows that using a VPN only offers limited anonymity. When people use a VPN irregularly and leave other information behind, such as email addresses, they may eventually be exposed anyway.

     

     Don't forget that anonymous traffic is not the same as anonymity . Don't be dumb, and don't register stuff using your actual email. VPNs by themselves won't make you untraceable
