My Sony VAIO VGN-S270 (also known as the VGN-S2XP in Europe) is a great laptop. It's got just the right combination of performance, features, and weight for the things that I do. In fact, it's still running strong after three and a half years.

My hope is that upgrading the S270 with Windows Vista should allow the computer to stay current for a few more years.

Unfortunately, Sony isn't supporting Vista for this model.

I've had to do some research online to put together a somewhat acceptable installation of Vista on my S270. I've documented the installation steps below.

Windows Vista

I always recommend performing a clean installation of any operating system simply because upgrades usually preserve the same baggage from the previous operating system.

Perform a clean install of Windows Vista (i.e. not an "upgrade" installation).
Install Service Pack 1 for Vista.
Install all updates marked as "required" and "recommended" from Windows Update.

Audio

The S270 uses an ADI SoundMAX chip for its integrated audio. I wasn't able to find a native Vista driver for this old audio chipset, but fortunately, the XP drivers work just fine.

Download the ADI SoundMAX driver for Windows XP
Run the installer, but don't actually install anything. Just click on "Next" until it extract its files into the temp directory: C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Local\Temp\drivers
Copy the driver files from the temp directory.
"Cancel" out of the installation.
Go to your Device Manager. Find the multimedia audio device marked with an exclamation point icon.
Update the driver for the multimedia audio device and manually point it to the "drivers" directory you copied out earlier.

Touchpad

Touchpads nowadays are either made by Alps or Synaptecs. For the S270, the touchpad happens to be an Alps. The latest Alps touchpad driver can be found on Sony's European VAIO website for the S5XP.

Memory Stick Reader

The memory stick reader slot uses a Texas Instruments chipset. The latest memory stick driver can be found on Sony's European VAIO website for the S5XP.

For a nice touch, you can install a memory stick icon for your reader drive. (Tip courtesy of Surefire.)

Video

The S270 has an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 graphics chip with 64MB of video memory. Unfortunately, ATI does not make any of their Mobility chipset drivers available to the end user. Instead, they refer you to the original manufacturer of the notebook.

However, we can "unlock" the drivers we need from ATI's driver packages by using the ModTool utility. (Tip courtesy of Supratik.)

Download the latest Windows Vista video drivers from ATI.
Run the ATI driver installer but do not actually install anything. It should ask to extract itself into C:\ATI\Support. After it has extracted itself, quit the installer.
Download the ModTool utility.
Follow the instructions for ModTool to modify the ATI drivers you extracted.
Install the modified ATI drivers. During installation, Windows Vista will warn you that it cannot verify the publisher of the new drivers, but this is to be expected because you modified the original drivers.

Fn Keys

I haven't gotten the Fn buttons to work. I've installed the required drivers and made sure that the Event Service is running, but the Fn keys still refuse to respond. I can't change the audio volume or display brightness using the Fn key combinations.

VAIO Power Management

The VAIO Power Management utility does not work for this model. Trying to access the VAIO Power Management configuration panel will only result in a Rundll32 error.

Wireless Switching Utility

The Wireless Switching Utility does not work for this model either. The program runs fine but toggling the Wifi or Bluetooth modules has no effect.

Battery Checker Utility

Do NOT install the Battery Checker Utility. It's completely unnecessary. All it does is run in the background and pop up a warning if you're not using an official Sony battery. Sometimes it will warn you anyway even when you're using an official Sony battery.

Conclusion

There are some shortcomings to this Vista installation. The features I miss from my former XP installation are: Fn key volume control, and automatic display dimming by the VAIO Power Management (when the S270 is unplugged).

But overall, Windows Vista works pretty well on the S270. The essentials all work well: audio, video, wireless network, and wired network. The system doesn't seem to run any slower under Vista than it did under XP.

Considering the advantages and disadvantages of this Vista installation, I'd say it's worth it... for now. We'll see if the lack of Fn key functionality can stand the test of time.

I hope this article has been useful to other S270 owners out there. I welcome any tips, corrections, or feedback you may have.

ECO-350
1.Samuel is the network administrator of DataX Communications, Inc. He is trying to configure his firewall to block password brute force attempts on his network. He enables blocking the intruder's IP address for a period of 24 hours time after more than three unsuccessful attempts. He is confident that this rule will secure his network from hackers on the Internet. But he still receives hundreds of thousands brute-force attempts generated from various IP addresses around the world. After some investigation he realizes that the intruders are using a proxy somewhere else on the Internet which has been scripted to enable the random usage of various proxies on each request so as not to get caught by the firewall rule. Later he adds another rule to his firewall and enables small sleep on the password attempt so that if the password is incorrect, it would take 45 seconds to return to the user to begin another attempt. Since an intruder may use multiple machines to brute force the password, he also throttles the number of connections that will be prepared to accept from a particular IP address. This action will slow the intruder's attempts. Samuel wants to completely block hackers brute force attempts on his network. What are the alternatives to defending against possible brute-force password attacks on his site?
A.Enforce a password policy and use account lockouts after three wrong logon attempts even though this might lock out legit users
B.Enable the IDS to monitor the intrusion attempts and alert you by e-mail about the IP address of the intruder so that you can block them at the Firewall manually
C.Enforce complex password policy on your network so that passwords are more difficult to brute force
D.You cannot completely block the intruders attempt if they constantly switch proxies
Correct:D
2.Which programming language is NOT vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks?
A.Java
B.ActiveX
C.C++
D.Assembly Language
Correct:A
3.A client has approached you with a penetration test requirement. They are concerned with the possibility of external threat, and have invested considerable resources in protecting their Internet exposure. However, their main concern is the possibility of an employee elevating his/her privileges and gaining access to information outside of their department. What kind of penetration test would you recommend that would best address the client's concern?
A.A Grey Hat test
B.A Grey Box test
C.A Black Hat test
D.A White Hat test
E.A Black Box test
F.A White Box test
Correct:B
4.What type of port scan is shown below? Scan directed at open port: ClientServer 192.5.2.92:4079 ---------FIN--------->192.5.2.110:23 192.5.2.92:4079 <----NO RESPONSE------192.5.2.110:23 Scan directed at closed port: ClientServer 192.5.2.92:4079 ---------FIN--------->192.5.2.110:23 192.5.2.92:4079<-----RST/ACK----------192.5.2.110:23

D.strsock()
Correct:A B C
6.Bob is acknowledged as a hacker of repute and is popular among visitors of 'underground' sites. Bob is willing to share his knowledge to those who are willing to learn, and many have expressed their interest in learning from him. However, this knowledge has risks associated with it, as the same knowledge can be used for malevolent attacks as well. In this context, what would be the most effective method to bridge the knowledge gap between the "black" hats or crackers and the "white" hats or computer security professionals?
A.Hire more computer security monitoring personnel to monitor computer systems and networks
B.Educate everyone with books, articles and training on risk analysis, vulnerabilities and safeguards
C.Train more national guard and reservist in the art of computer security to help out in times of emergency or crises
D.Make obtaining either a computer security certification or accreditation easier to achieve so more individuals feel that they are a part of something larger than life
Correct:B
7.After a client sends a connection request (SYN) packet to the server, the server will respond (SYN-ACK) with a sequence number of its choosing, which then must be acknowledged (ACK) by the client. This sequence number is predictable; the attack connects to a service first with its own IP address, records the sequence number chosen, and then opens a second connection from a forged IP address. The attack doesn't see the SYN-ACK (or any other packet) from the server, but can guess the correct responses. If the source IP address is used for authentication, then the attacker can use the one-sided communication to break into the server. What attacks can you successfully launch against a server using the above technique?
A.Session Hijacking attacks
B.Denial of Service attacks
C.Web page defacement attacks
D.IP spoofing attacks
Correct:A
8.Eric notices repeated probes to port 1080. He learns that the protocol being used is designed to allow a host outside of a firewall to connect transparently and securely through the firewall. He wonders if his firewall has been breached. What would be your inference?
A.Eric's network has been penetrated by a firewall breach
B.The attacker is using the ICMP protocol to have a covert channel
C.Eric has a Wingate package providing FTP redirection on his network
D.Somebody is using SOCKS on the network to communicate through the firewall
Correct:D
9.Mark works as a contractor for the Department of Defense and is in charge of network security. He has spent the last month securing access to his network from all possible entry points. He has segmented his network into several subnets and has installed firewalls all over the network. He has placed very stringent rules on all the firewalls, blocking everything in and out except ports that must be used. He does need to have port 80 open since his company hosts a website that must be accessed from the Internet. Mark is fairly confident of his perimeter defenses, but is still worried about programs like Hping2 that can get into a network through covert channels. How should mark protect his network from an attacker using Hping2 to scan his internal network?
A.Block ICMP type 13 messages
B.Block all incoming traffic on port 53
C.Block all outgoing traffic on port 53
D.Use stateful inspection on the firewalls
Correct:A
10.Bill has started to notice some slowness on his network when trying to update his company's website and while trying to access the website from the Internet. Bill asks the help desk manager if he has received any calls about slowness from the end users, but the help desk manager says that he has not. Bill receives a number of calls from customers that cannot access the company website and cannot purchase anything online. Bill logs on to a couple of his routers and notices that the logs show network traffic is at an all time high.?He also notices that almost all the traffic is originating from a specific address.

12.Clive is conducting a pen-test and has just port scanned a system on the network. He has identified the operating system as Linux and been able to elicit responses from ports 23, 25 and 53. He infers port 23 as running Telnet service, port 25 as running SMTP service and port 53 as running DNS service. The client confirms these findings and attests to the current availability of the services. When he tries to telnet to port 23 or 25, he gets a blank screen in response. On typing other commands, he sees only blank spaces or underscores symbols on the screen. What are you most likely to infer from this?
A.The services are protected by TCP wrappers
B.There is a honeypot running on the scanned machine
C.An attacker has replaced the services with trojaned ones
D.This indicates that the telnet and SMTP server have crashed

16.Travis works primarily from home as a medical transcriptionist. He just bought a brand new Dual Core Pentium computer with over 3 GB of RAM. He uses voice recognition software to help him transfer what he dictates to electronic documents. The voice recognition software is processor intensive, which is why he bought the new computer. Travis frequently has to get on the Internet to do research on what he is working on. After about two months of working on his new computer, he notices that it is not running nearly as fast as it used to. Travis uses antivirus software, anti-spyware software, and always keeps the computer up-to-date with Microsoft patches. After another month of working on the computer, Travis' computer is even more noticeably slow. Every once in awhile, Travis also notices a window or two pop-up on his screen, but they quickly disappear.He has seen these windows show up, even when he has not been on the Internet. Travis is really worried about his computer because he spent a lot of money on it, and he depends on it to work. Travis scans his computer with all kinds of software, and cannot find anything out of the ordinary. Travis decides to go through Windows Explorer and check out the file system, folder by folder, to see if there is anything he can find. He spends over four hours pouring over the files and folders and cannot find anything.But, before he gives up, he notices that his computer only has about 10 GB of free space available.Since his hard drive is a 200 GB hard drive, Travis thinks this is very odd. Travis downloads Space Monger and adds up the sizes for all the folders and files on his computer. According to his calculations, he should have around 150 GB of free space. What is mostly likely the cause of Travis' problems?
A.Travis's computer is infected with stealth kernel level rootkit
B.Travis's computer is infected with Stealth Trojan Virus
C.Travis's computer is infected with Self-Replication Worm that fills the hard disk space
D.Logic Bomb is triggered at random times creating hidden data consuming junk files
