Try your name plus your birthdate (with dots or slashes, as your locale requires). There's your upper and lowercase, special characters and…

. If I perform the virustotal scan on a file, will it's website always indicate this fact?

In my experience, VirusTotal scan keeps track of the file hashes. For every upload it does a lookup to check if a file has already been scanned before.

Is opting for VLAN security a wise choice?

The major lack of security is down to the fact that although you are segregating from a logical perspective, you are actually running the networks across the same wires, so from the perspective of an attacker on one VLAN it is typically not much work to access the other VLAN. This is why if, during a security audit, I…

What are the ways to safeguard yourself if you get traffic from your computer network?

I experience the same issues as you said of getting traffic from your computer network if I tunnel my web traffic through a proxy. I'm not sure why this is; but I'm guessing that these proxies you're using are publicly available, as most of mine are. If this is the case, then odds are there are hundreds of users…
