Free time?
Since Microsoft gave us a free month, how are you spending all your newly-found free time? I'm specifically interested in readers that are custom-coding solutions to security or system administration problems. Got any C/Perl/Python code that you want to share? You coders don't get enough credit here, so let's here from you.
For example, last year I looked for a solution to monitor the changes to a Windows file share. I needed a report at the end of the day showing new files, deleted files, etc. This would allow me to detect security policy violations in an automated fashion. I couldn't find anything free or commercial to do it, so I rolled my own in Python and SQLite (a light-weight database engine). Interestingly, I discussed my project with several Windows system admins and none had ever thought about monitoring a file server in this manner.
Be sure to include whether you would allow us to reprint the code or description of the code on the site.
