Network design, architecture, thinking, working. Tech.
Once upon a time, ZoneAlarm was the best personal firewall available. It was free, stable and excellent. I seem to remember using it from 2002-2003 or so – then Zonealarm was acquired by CheckPoint and the product was lost to the retail market. CheckPoint moved the product to corporate desktops and was lost to the [...]
I’m deleting social media accounts with a sense of fear. Who wants to share _everything_ ? I did, until I realised how dangerous Network Theory is for exposing information about you. And everyone you know.
Who said people in security don’t have a sense of humour ? My crypto presentation that I teach in my InfoSec classed boiled down to a 4 minute original music video with labs. Even if you don’t like the music, if you do the labs and understand what is happening, it should help anyone pass [...]
Everyone thinks that Facebook doesn’t know much about you. But a 1200 page PDF file of personal data seems excessive.

Microsoft announces zero-day exploitable RDP flaw that gets full compromise of server. Expects worm to be available within thirty days. I get to gloat and say “I told you so” to all Microsoft admins everywhere.
Reading the release notes for ASA 8.6.1 today and noticed this about new models of Cisco ASA Firewalls.
Couple of days back, Juniper announced acquisition of Mykonos Software. After reviewing the web site I find that I’m interested in this acquisition as signal of change.
I found this on Cyber Corner blog:
Another missing ASA-feature: telnet and ssh client: “ Every single decent Cisco-device on earth has the ability to make an CLI-user jump to another device with telnet or ssh. Except the ASA. I really wish that this feature could be added. Right now I am troubleshooting a firewall and from where I am right now the only way in is to SSH to the ASA. I can do whatever I want inside the firewall from my SSH-window, but I need to access a router inside of that firewall, and if this feature wasn´t missing i could simply run ‘ssh ip-address’ to jump to the switch´s CLI.
Am I the last CLI-.guy on this planet? Please, Cisco?
