Geopolitical conflicts may result in cyberattacks publication

Today the growing prevalence of computing devices also growing in profile diversity (smart phones, tablets, routers, switches, firewalls, watches, smart TVs) are fueling a demand in the study of incident response. Many organizations do not know they have been hacked until a third party such as law enforcement informs them. For the last several weeks I've been researching for a project that informs the reader how to do incident response without acting with what one of the people I worked with "a chicken with its head chopped off". Here is a rough outline for this publication:

1 Introduction
a) Weigh the pros and cons of security
i) finding the balance for usable security.
ii) the only way to prevent a server from being hacked is to fill it up with concrete and dump it into the sea.

2) enablers
a) geopolitical conflicts in "hot zones"
i) Baltic states
ii) Middle East,
iii)Africa
ix) The Pacific including China and Korea.
b) weighs out the positives and negatives of bitcoin.

3) Appendixes
a) Network monitoring
i) plans for combining OSSIM, ELK, zabbix, Mozdef, MongoDB, Fluentd, and icinga2 using jasper for user interface. This would be based on an earlier presentation "Efficient Network Triage with FOSS

Disclaimer: I do not pretend to know the origins of every conflict the world has faced but think this is a good launch point. Right now from what I've read, there is only the Norton In search of the most dangerous towns in America film, Micah-Sage Bolden's academia article and the World Economic Forum that approaches the geopolitical motives for threats to cybersecurity. For me the big difference between dnsbl, spamhaus, phishtank is that they are mostly based on coming up to solutions for single problem instances such as scams. This means that when their IPs are blocked they shift tactics because there is a lack of cooperation on the part of international law enforcement to take care of the root of the problems. This proposed project is to take a look at the role of geopolitics in the motivation of cybercrime so that we can enhance the online criminology or profiling of the security professionals.

I've been going to a lot of sources not commonly related to network security including the Economic World Form and 19th century Russian Literature sources. Here is a partial list:

Large OST problems with onedrive

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2759052/you-may-experience-application-pauses-if-you-have-a-large-outlook-data-file

Issue each time onedrive attempts to sync a large file it starts and copies it until it is the limited size and then truncates the file until it accumulates on the Onedrive cache on the local drive and also is replicated on the drive folder meaning it is both in the cloud and on the local disk.

Office 365 (Outlook) - Outlook Data Files (.pst and .ost)

When you use Microsoft Outlook, your email messages, calendar, tasks, and other items are saved on a mail server, on your computer, or both. Outlook items that are saved on your computer, are kept in an Outlook Data File (.pst and .ost).

Note: View instructions at Office 365 (Outlook 2016/2013 for Windows) - How to locate, move, or back up your personal folders (.pst) file to manage a .pst file.

About Outlook Data Files (.pst and .ost)

There are two types of Outlook Data Files used by Outlook. An Outlook Data File (.pst) is used for most accounts. If you are using a Microsoft Exchange account, your items are usually delivered to and saved on the mail server. To allow you to work with your messages even when you can’t connect to the mail server, a second type of data file that is named an offline Outlook Data File (.ost) is kept on your computer.

The primary differences between the two types of Outlook data files are as follows:

Outlook Data Files (.pst) are used for POP3, IMAP, and web-based mail accounts. When you want to create archives or back up your Outlook folders and items on your computer, such as Exchange accounts, you must create and use additional .pst files.

Outlook Data Files (.ost) are used when you have an Exchange account and want to work offline or use or use the default Cached Exchange Mode. This type of data file is also used for accounts that you set up with the Outlook Connector for Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail). Outlook Data Files (.ost) are always copies of items that are saved on a mail server and don’t have to be backed up like Outlook Data Files (.pst).

Outlook Data File (.pst)
- A Personal Folders file (.pst) is an Outlook data file that stores your messages and other items on your computer. This is the most common file in which information in Outlook is saved by home users or in small organizations. Home users usually use an Internet service provider (ISP) to connect to the Internet. The ISP also provides one or more email accounts. The most common types of accounts are referred to by their Internet protocol names — POP3 and IMAP. Another type of account is an HTTP or web-based account that works similar to IMAP email accounts. All three account types use a .pst file.
  
  Your items can also be moved or archived to an Outlook Data File (.pst). Because a .pst file is kept on your computer, it is not subject to mailbox size limits on the mail server. By moving items to a .pst file on your computer, you can free up storage space in the mailbox on your mail server. Outlook can be configured to deliver new items to a .pst file, but if you do this, it has several disadvantages. This includes being unable to work with your items when you are using Microsoft Outlook Web Access with the Exchange Server email account or when you are working on another computer.
  
  Warning Do not access an Outlook Data File (.pst) from a network share or another computer, because it increases the possibility of data loss.
  
  Tip You should regularly back up your Outlook Data Files (.pst) and save them in a safe place. Your ISP or Microsoft can’t recover your e-mail or other items if the file is lost.

Offline Outlook Data File (.ost)
- Typically, when you use a Microsoft Exchange Server account, your email messages, calendar, and other items are delivered to and saved on the server. You can configure Outlook to keep a local copy of your items on your computer in an Outlook data file that is named an offline Outlook Data File (.ost). This allows you to use Cached Exchange Mode or to work offline when a connection to the Exchange computer may not be possible or wanted. The .ost file is synchronized with the Exchange computer when a connection is available.
  
  Offline folders are replicas of the folders found in your mailbox on the computer that is running Microsoft Exchange. They make it possible to take a folder from a server location, work with the contents of the folder when you are not connected to the network, and then, when you are connected again, update the folder and its corresponding server folder to make the contents of both folders identical. This process is known as synchronizing folders.
  
  You can add, delete, and change the contents of an offline folder exactly as you can for a folder on a server. For example, you can change and move items between folders, send messages that are included in your offline Outbox, and view the contents of your offline public folders. Meanwhile, new messages are kept in your Inbox on the server, and other people might add, delete, and change items in public folders. You’ll not be aware of these changes on the server until you synchronize.
  
  The information that is synchronized includes the following:
  - Headers For email items only, a header is a descriptive identifier that provides the sender's name, the subject line of the message, the time when the message was received, and the size of the message.
  Full items A full item includes the header, the body of the message, and any attachments, such as embedded objects or pictures.
  
  When you work offline, folders that are synchronized are determined by Send/Receive groups. By using Send/Receive groups, you can choose which folders are synchronized and kept current so that when a connection to the server is not possible or you choose to work offline, you can continue to work with those items. You can also specify that updates to the Address Book be downloaded during synchronization.
  
  If you use an Exchange Server email account, we recommend that you use Cached Exchange Mode. Most of the reasons to work offline are eliminated when you use Cached Exchange Mode. The lack of a network connection is almost transparent to you because you can continue to work with your items whether you are connected to the computer that is running Exchange.
  
  By default, Cached Exchange Mode creates and uses an Offline Folder file (.ost) and then downloads and maintains a synchronized copy of the items in all folders in your mailbox. You work with the information on your computer, and Outlook synchronizes the information with the server. When your connection to the Exchange computer is interrupted, you can continue to work with your data. When a connection is restored, changes are automatically synchronized, and the folders and items on the server and on your computer are identical again.
  
  With Cached Exchange Mode, you do not have to set up Send/Receive groups, choose folders that you want to be available offline, and then keep those folders synchronized.

File locations

You can save, copy, and move a data file (other than the file that is used as your default delivery location) to another location on your computer or to a share on the network. However, you must have folder read/write permissions to open an Outlook Data File (.pst).

Outlook Data Files (.pst)
- Note Microsoft Exchange Server accounts save your information on the mail server. To use Cached Exchange Mode or to work offline, copies of your items are saved in an offline Outlook Data File (.ost). See the Outlook Data Files (.ost) section for more information. Also, some organizations allow you to export or archive your items to a .pst file.
  
  The fastest way to open the folder where your Outlook Data File (.pst and .ost) is saved is to do the following:
  1. In Outlook, click the File tab.
  2. Click Account Settings, and then click Account Settings.
  3. On the Data Files tab, click an entry, and then click Open Folder Location.
  If you are unable to open Outlook, you can navigate to the follow locations to find the files manually.
  
  Windows 10     drive:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
  
  Windows 8 and 8.1     drive:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
  
  Windows 7 and Windows Vista     drive:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
  
  Windows XP     drive:\Documents and Settings\<Your Name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
  
  Note: If you are unable to view the folder named "AppData" in your user folder, this is because you do not have the proper permissions to view this folder. If you click the address bar at the top of the File Explorer window, you can type in the location manually.
  
  To repair this data file, review Microsoft's documentation.

Offline Outlook Data File (.ost)
- The .ost file is synchronized with the items on the server that runs Exchange. Because your data remains on the Exchange server, you can re-create this .ost file on your new computer without having to back up the .ost file.
  
  Windows 10     drive:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
  
  Windows 8 and 8.1     drive:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
  
  Windows 7 and Windows Vista     drive:\Users\<Your Name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook
  
  Windows XP     drive:\Documents and Settings\<Your Name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
  
  Note: If you are unable to view the folder named "AppData" in your user folder, this is because you do not have the proper permissions to view this folder. If you click the address bar at the top of the File Explorer window, you can type in the location manually.
  
  To repair this data file, review Microsoft's documentation.

Here's an easy fix: change the location of the .ost file

To fix this problem automatically, click the Download button. In the File Download dialog box, click Run or Open, and then follow the steps in the easy fix wizard.

This easy fix solution will help you set the default location of the .ost file to C:\Users\UserName\Desktop.

we have sharepoint storage, onedrive for business, azure store spaces oh my

There are two groups of products that look similar but perform differently these are sharepoint and onedrive. Onedrive is most similar to the network drives that we are used to. They have been in a place where they first started using network drives. SharePoint is a

One of the tasks i have done a lot of reading on is the sharepoint workflow. It seems that everyday we are asked to reprovision or redesign the sharepoint site. I am bring more informed about how to automate this process so it would makes our lives perhaps easier with sharepoint wofkflow approvals. A lot of tickets coming to the IT help desk involve managing the sharepoint site.

Here is the difference between our one drive site and the sharepoint team storage:

SharePoint uses versions of software. This adds up and makes our storage more than it is supposed to be. Onelook has versioninig too usually defined by group policy. This can be setup in Azure cloud services.

Onedrive and sharepoint can both share designated files to selected users outside the organization.

Basic vocab:

OneDrive – a free, personal online storage account.
OneDrive for Business – an enhanced version of OneDrive associated with an Office 365 subscription.
MySite – a personal SharePoint site that can be enabled as a feature in a larger SharePoint portal context.
Team Site – a team-oriented SharePoint site, typically with limited access.
Corporate Portal – a SharePoint site with general access.

Further explanation

The answer is that SharePoint still does a lot of things OneDrive doesn’t. OneDrive is an as-is, out-of-the-box service. SharePoint requires some development and customization, but it can do just about anything you may want it to do. Your company may be able to get by with just a OneDrive for Business subscription, but it comes down to what all you need your collaboration platform to do.
If all you need from a cloud storage platform are the capabilities listed here, you’ll be fine sticking with OneDrive for Business:
Store and Sync: You can save all kinds of files and documents in OneDrive and they’ll sync to your tablet, smart phone, or any other device.
Share and Collaborate: You can easily upload a document in OneDrive and give other people access to it, including options to make it read-only or allow them to edit it.
Meet Security and Compliance Requirements: OneDrive for Business meets ISO 27001 security standards, and complies with EU Model clauses, HIPAA BAA and FISMA.
Sites: This one is a bit tricky because if you’re using sites in OneDrive for Business you’re really using SharePoint Online. But technically you can use OneDrive to set up different areas to store documents for different departments.
OneDrive also provides a very simple and intuitive interface. So to meet your most basic requirements OneDrive may be sufficient. SharePoint, depending on what you want it to do, may require you to purchase, provision and maintain on-site servers. And without some outside help to customize your SharePoint platform your workers may find it really complicated to use.
But here are some of the main things SharePoint does that OneDrive doesn’t:
Dashboards: Employees sign in on branded company pages that can feature news, announcements, notices—pretty much whatever you want everyone in the company to see.
Sites: After signing in to the main company dashboard, employees navigate to their department’s site, or even their own site, where they find all the documents they need to work on, along with things like reminders and notifications of coworkers’ availabilities.
Workflows: These are automated actions that you can set up that get triggered whenever someone uploads or edits a document. A common example of a workflow is one that automatically sends an email notification to people in other departments if a document or series of edits needs some kind of administrative approval.
Lists: These are similar to spreadsheets, and they’re used to provide information in areas where they can be accessed by different types of users. A common example is a list of employees with their roles and contact information.
Calendars: These can be used to schedule meetings, set up notifications and reminders, and help workers keep track of each other’s availability.
The way different Microsoft technologies have evolved over time has been largely determined by business contingencies and changes in the IT market. It is interesting to see how many of the applications that formerly had clearly delineated functions are starting to overlap, and even begin to compete with each other. The trend now, though, is shifting more in the direction of seamless ease-of-use. Just as OneDrive for Business makes use of the cloud version of SharePoint, the service bundles available in Office 365 integrate the functions of applications ranging from Lync and Exchange to Office and Power BI. To make the most of these various technologies, you need to begin with a clear sense of how people in your business will be using them, but there’s really no way of getting around the need to keep up with trends and developments in the industry.

What’s the Difference Between OneDrive and SharePoint?

POSTED ON DECEMBER 16, 2014 BY BETTERCLOUD MONITOR

Business (ODfB) and SharePoint Online (SP) are related components of Office 365, with overlapping architecture and features. If you use both OneDrive and SharePoint at work, it can get a little confusing.

The Basics

The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a consumer version of OneDrive that is very different from the OneDrive for Business component of your Office 365 subscription at work. If you have an existing Microsoft account, you already have OneDrive.

Anyone can sign up for a OneDrive account with any email address and get free or paid storage for your documents, photos, videos, and other files. This is your personal or individual OneDrive account. Home Office 365 plans also include personal OneDrive. Once you have a personal OneDrive account, you may set it to sync with your device (computer, tablet, phone, and so on).

If you use an Office 365 plan at work, you have your own OneDrive for Business. Despite the same name, personal or consumer-facing OneDrive does not have any overlap with OneDrive for Business. See how Microsoft explains it here.

You access your OneDrive for Business via the Office 365 portal sign-in. You can also sync ODfB with your device, and then you’ll be able to access your files in a local folder titled “OneDrive – [Your Business Name]” or “OneDrive @ Your Business Name.” By default everything stored in OneDrive for Business is visible only to you, but you can share files with individuals, groups, or everyone in your organization.

Similarly, you will have access to SharePoint sites via your Office 365 portal. The launcher menu item Office 365 is called Sites. You can store documents and other files there, as well as share and collaborate with your teammates. SharePoint also has sync capabilities. Sounds pretty similar to OneDrive for Business, right? So, what’s the difference?

OneDrive for Business and SharePoint on the O365 menu

Note From this point forward, we’ll be specifically covering OneDrive for Business, but one quick thing first. Remember how you can sign up for a personal/individual OneDrive using any email address? That includes your work email address. For example, I use a business Office 365 plan here at work with the BetterCloud Monitor. I sign in using my work email address, monitor@bettercloud.com, in order to access ODfB and SharePoint. But I can also use monitor@bettercloud.com to sign up for a personal OneDrive, which would be a totally separate account. Even though I may use the same email address and password to sign in, I can’t see my personal files in my business account and vice versa.

ODfB vs. SP

As mentioned, you can store, sync, and share files with both OneDrive for Business and SharePoint. This table explains some of the similarities and differences of these components of Office 365.

OneDrive for Business	SharePoint Online
Included in Office 365 Business plans	Included in Office 365 Business plans
Available as a stand-alone service, and there is a similarly-named consumer version	Available as a stand-alone service, but no consumer-facing version exists
Evolved from a service called SharePoint Workspace 2010, and before that Groove 2007	Cloud-based version of the SharePoint service that dates back to Office XP
Core architecture built on (or “powered behind the scenes” by) SharePoint	Core architecture built on (or “powered behind the scenes” by) SharePoint
Often considered or called a “storage location”	Often considered or called a “team site”
Could be thought of as the cloud version of the My Documents folder on your work computer	Could be thought of as an internal website and/or file server alternative
Manage files/data with metadata and versioning	Manage files/data with metadata and versioning
Accessed from browser or local folder or app depending on user preference	Usually accessed from a browser to use all features, but files can be accessed from local folder
OneDrive for Business sync app is used to sync OneDrive for Business files to a folder on local computer	OneDrive for Business sync app is used to sync SharePoint files to a folder on local computer (separate from OneDrive for Business folder)
All uploads default as private until you decide to share	Uploads default to inherit permissions from the directory/folder in which they are uploaded
Users sign in to their own OneDrive for Business accounts, with no shared interface	Users can access SharePoint as a branded company page, managed by an admin, that acts as a dashboard with news, calendar, etc.
Best place to upload private work documents that only you intend to see, or a document that has a limited scope or lifecycle (for example, a doc you only share once)	Best place to upload team files and/or documents that are intended to be collaborative and/or use check-in workflows and permissioning

So, OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online: not exactly the same, yet not entirely different.

The real, noticeable differences will come with the way your workplace or department decides to use SharePoint. Organizations use SharePoint for project-based management sites, human resources portals, and more. OneDrive for Business uses SharePoint technology, but is better suited for storage and one-off sharing. Both of these components live in the cloud (it is Office 365, after all) and can sync files to your device so you can work anywhere.

When to save documents to OneDrive for Business

You don’t plan to share them.
Documents you place in OneDrive for Business are private by default, unless you place them in the Shared with Everyone folder. This makes OneDrive for Business your best option for draft documents or personal documents that no one else needs to see.
You plan to share files individually and with a limited scope or lifecycle.
For example, you’re writing a blog post that may not be associated with a project, and you’d like a few colleagues to review it before you post it. In this case, you expect people to use the document once without needing additional storage or context information. All they need is a link to the document and editing permission.
You can’t identify an existing team site where your document belongs, and you don’t think the purpose of the document warrants creating a new one.

When to save documents to a team site library

You want team members to recognize the document as being relevant to an ongoing project.
You want to spread ownership and permissions across a wider collection of people. If a document is important to the success of a project, it’s a good idea for there to be people other than yourself who can control what happens on the site.
You want permissions to be granted on a site basis, instead of on individual documents. If people have access to the team site, then they have access to documents stored in the site.
Other project-related documents are already saved to the team site library, and others expect to find it there.
You want to create a check-in workflow that assigns the document to someone else.

If you have a small business, it's ideal to set up your file storage and sharing so you use OneDrive for Business and your Office 365 team site together. Check out this tutorial on customizing your team site. The tutorial includes steps for how you can promote your team site so your team members can quickly navigate back and forth between their OneDrive for Business folder and your Office 365 team site.

Move document from OneDrive for Business to team sites

Sometimes individual documents grow in importance and become relevant to a project. When that happens, it may make sense to move them from OneDrive for Business to a team site.

Moving a document from OneDrive for Business to a team site library is a manual operation. You can either copy or cut and paste the document. The easiest way to move files between libraries is to use Explorer. In the library, click the Library tab, and then choose Open with Explorer.

Open with Explorer command on the Library tab of the ribbon

Here’s a short training video that demonstrates moving documents:

If you're using SharePoint online or SharePoint 2016 on premise, you may not see Sites in a menu on the top of your page. Click the app launcher App launcher icon

and then click Sites or SharePoint.

Troubleshoot moving documents from OneDrive for Business

There are a couple of issues to keep in mind when moving documents from OneDrive for Business to a team site library:

Hyperlinks to the original document stop working, because you’ve deleted the document in OneDrive for Business. You may want to share the document you moved to the team site to give people on the site an updated, working link.
If people followed the original document, links in their newsfeed to that document will stop working. To restore this association, people will need to follow the document in its new location.
You might want to replace the original document in OneDrive for Business with one that simply gives a link to the new file, and announces the new location
