Re: Collecting Malware

[Geoffrey J Gowey <gjgowey () gmail com>]

If you're going to work with malware you should have your network  
disabled for the vm inside vmware.  If you want to test with multiple  
vm's you could setup an internal network, but make sure your vmware  
host system isn't included on that network :)

Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate
In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are 
highlighted to help you ensure efficient ongoing management of your encryption keys and digital certificates.
