Using ssldump to Decode/Decrypt SSL/TLS Packets
Who needs the Wireshark GUI right; let’s do this at the command line and be grown up about things. This is a straight copy of my popular Using Wireshark to Decode/Decrypt SSL/TLS Packets post, only using ssldump to decode/decrypt SSL/TLS packets at the CLI instead of Wireshark.

Helpful Concepts for the Fresh New Geek
Someone recently asked me to be a professional mentor, an occurrence that becomes more surreal the longer I consider it in its implications and entirety. So far the recipient of my educational transgressions appears content, but the experience has reminded me of several ranty moments I’ve had over the years regarding what new network geeks […]

HTIRW: Provider Peering and Revenue Streams (Part 1)
In the last post in this series, I described several types of providers — and even how those descriptions are no longer really “pure,” for the most part (although NTT, for instance, is a pure transit provider that only offers a few services throughout the world).

“Sometimes my head is a bit of an idiot” is something my daughter might say and that happens to me too, if that time is today and this article, let me know.

Thinking Through Title II Reguation
Over at CircleID, Geoff Huston has a long’ish article on Title II regulation of the Internet, and the ideals of “net neutrality.” The reasoning is tight and strong — his conclusion a simple one: At its heart, the Internet access business really is a common carrier business.

PQ Show 34 – Cloudflare Keyless SSL
A couple of weeks ago, Cloudflare announced a new solution that allows DDOS Protection, Caching and application firewalls of SSL encrypted traffic without handing over the private key.
