Over the last several years I have been disappointed by plastic USB flash drives and the fact they all fail in the same way. Countless USB Flash drives have been lost simply by the plastic keyring loop breaking off, causing frustration, data loss and financial pain.
Transcend USA have recently released an additional application for use with their JetFlash 220 secure storage devices. The JetFlash 220 is just like any normal USB memory stick, however – it has one extra little facility.. Built into the housing of the device is a biometric fingerprint scanner. The scanner protects a ‘private’ partition on the device which can only be unlocked with a swipe of the owners fingerprint.
As websitespolicys call for tighter security and more complex passwords, a decent and secure place for storing all your account information is essential. There are many applications on the market, however not all of them are as feature rich as SPB Software’s wallet application.
One of the requirements of my new laptop was that it had to be able to connect into the remote sites I often connect onto. One of the applications I use for connecting to the networks is Check Points SecureClient..
1. The Checkpoint installer refuses to install
The installer checks up for the Darwin Kernel version 9. In Snow Leopard we have version 10. So two files need to be edit within the installer package.
- just right click on the installer and select Show Package Contents. This opens finder within the package.
- go to Contents/Resources.
- open TextEdit, use vi in a shell or whatever you prefer to edit a simple file
- on file “InstallationCheck” change the number 9 in line 8 to number 10: if [ "$MAJOR" != "10" ]; then
- same on file “postinstall “ change the number 9 in line 84 to number 10
That’s it. Just install it and reboot. Changes need to make afterwards in order to have it starting.
In the words of the mere cat… Simplez!
