Pod To PC Transfers Data From iPods And iPhone To PC

Pod To PC is a free software program to transfer data from any kind of iPod or iPhone to a computer. It supports all generations of the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPod Video, iPod Nano, iPod and iPod Shuffle making it an universal tool to transfer data from those mobile devices to a PC.

The software will run on any PC with Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Vista installed. The only other requirement is an installation of Apple’s iTunes software. Pod To PC can copy music, videos and playlists from a supported device to the computer. Music and videos can be previewed and filtered on the iPod or iPhone prior to transferring them.

One interesting option is to automatically transfer all music and video files to the computer that are not already available in the local installation of iTunes. This makes it ideal to sync music and video collections. Could also be handy if you had to reinstall the operating system or iTunes on a computer after a crash to transfer all the music and videos back to the computer from the iPod or iPhone.

Duplicate tracks will not be copied. It is furthermore possible to copy full or partial playlists. All the related meta information such as ratings will also be transferred and preserved.

ISA Behind a Cisco ASA?

asking why I would have my ISA firewall behind a Cisco ASA. The answer is simple: enhanced security! I am following a long standing security best practice by implementing security in layers; defense in depth. Now, it’s not that the ISA firewall isn’t totally and completely capable of acting as an edge firewall, because it most certainly is. In this case though, I have elected to use an ASA as my edge firewall because I don’t need any real intelligence there. All I want is to do some very simple packet filtering here; basically just filtering out the bulk of the noise from the Internet and allowing my internal ISA firewall, with its advanced deep application layer inspection capabilities and granular user and group based access controls to do the important network communication inspection.

In addition to enhanced security, there are some other benefits to using the ASA (or another firewall) at the network edge. If someone were to circumvent the access controls that are in place on that edge firewall, they would not be able to use those same methods of exploitation on the ISA firewall. If I practice security in layers but deploy the same model firewall at each layer, an attacker can use the same method used to bypass my internal firewalls as they used to bypass my edge firewall.

An additional benefit by using another firewall at the network edge is that by squelching ‘Internet noise’, the logs on the ISA firewall become much more meaningful. It allows me to find important information much more quickly than having to sift through mountains of data this is mostly port scans and probes that occur constantly on the public Internet. This also frees up resources on my ISA firewall that are better put to use on inspecting important traffic.
