some random notes

Things discussed at work on Tuesday:

  • SAP Biller Direct is a canned way to show people bills and let them opt in to pay the bills in the SAP space.
  • PPS stands for Practical Project Steering perhaps?
  • SAP S/4HANA looks to be something new from SAP. The ERP, as an ERP, lets you do a great swath of things in the name of ostensibly managing all concerns of an enterprise from paying bills to inventory and it looks like SAP S/4HANA is a bunch of modernizations and optimizations and greasing of the wheels to make this all more efficient.
  • FatWire is some sort of CMS that Oracle owns.
  • POS stands for point of sale. Duh.
  • There is such a thing as a Cerberus FTP way to do FTP, and that's Cerberus not Kerberos, an authentication protocol, a means of security.
  • AQtime is software to judge the performance of other bits of software, your software.
  • lynda.com has tech training classes online stuff. think: pluralsight

 
 

These are some more notes from this tech talk that I've decided I care enough about to type up:

  • Nessus will determine where vulnerabilities are in your software and OpenVAS is basically the free version.
  • QualysGuard, Nexpose Rapid7 (which plays nicely with metasploit), SAINT, and GFI LanGuard are other vulnerability scanners.
  • Core Impact was put up on a pedestal as the very best pen testing tool at the tech talk. Others include: CANVAS, the Social Engineering Toolkit (SET), and SAINTexploit.
  • Metasploitable is a VM full of security holes that you can break into to try to educate yourself in how to attack and how to defend.
  • WebGoat is an OWASP application full of security holes along the same lines as Metasploitable.
