IDG Contributor Network: A technology horror story: The day the marketing guy joined the hackathon

The fifth floor of the cafeteria at Cato’s Israeli office transformed last Thursday morning into a celebration of innovation, coding, and food. Our 2018 Hackathon was kicking off with a sumptuous breakfast buffet decorating the tables, and flags of the 10 project teams dotting the floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out onto southern Tel Aviv.Hackathons are usually meant for folks who know something about, well, hacking code. But the dynamic duo who conceived and ran the event – Eyal, our director of product management, and Jordana, Cato’s human resources manager – poked, prodded, and dare I say implored, every employee to join the festivities – and I do mean everyone. The call to sign up for Cato’s Hackathon wasn’t just limited those who could program in C but even employees who could spell with a C – all were encouraged to sign up.  Thankfully singing in C wasn't a requirement.To read this article in full, please click here

Rackspace, HPE expand on-premises cloud with pay-as-you-go Kubernetes

HPE and Rackspace are building on their alliance from last November, when they first introduced an OpenStack-based pay-per-use system designed to compete with public cloud providers.The two now offer pay as you go to Rackspace’s VMware and Kubernetes private cloud services. Rackspace launched its Kubernetes private cloud managed service just last month. The initial pay-as-you-go system was for standard server-side apps. This new feature adds Kubernetes container management as an option.Rackspace has deployed HPE’s new GreenLake Flex Capacity service to provide the pay-as-you-go pricing model. GreenLake is one of many programs by enterprise hardware vendors to provide on-demand pricing to companies looking to rein in data center costs.To read this article in full, please click here

5 reasons the IoT needs its own networks

Last week, AT&T said it would launch a Narrow Band-IoT (NB-IoT) network in the United States and Mexico. And this isn’t the first network dedicated to the Internet of Things that AT&T is working on. The carrier had previously announced an IoT network using the LTE-M standard to cover some 400 million people in the U.S. and Mexico by the end of last year.Just as important, many other U.S. carriers also have various flavors of low-power IoT networks in the works, including Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and even Dish Network.To read this article in full, please click here

NIC.BR and the Internet Society Work Together to Increase Routing Security in Brazil

This week on Tuesday, 26 June, the Internet Society and NIC.BR signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to work together to increase routing security in Brazil, including the MANRS initiative. Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security is a global initiative that provides crucial fixes to reduce the most common routing threats.

We are excited to strengthen our efforts to work together with NIC.br, and in fact this MoU only formalizes an existing long-term relationship between the two organizations. Our goal is to help increase the number of Brazilian Internet Service Providers and Internet Exchange Points joining efforts for a more secure and resilient Internet.

Not a single day goes by without dozens of incidents affecting the Internet’s routing system. Route hijacking, route leaks, IP address spoofing, and other harmful activities can lead to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, traffic inspection and surveillance, lost revenue, reputational damage, and more. As one of the biggest countries with high access rates, Brazil is also facing these incidents on a daily basis.

NIC.BR is responsible for the coordination and integration of all Internet service initiatives in Brazil, including long-standing activities related to Internet security. They are also responsible for many projects that Continue reading

At IETF 102: The Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace – Cyber diplomacy meets InfoSec and Technology

On Tuesday, 17 July, during IETF 102 in Montreal, the Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace (GCSC) will host a lunch panel on “Cyber Diplomacy Meets InfoSec and Technology.” During this session, the Commission wants to inform and engage with the IETF community on its work so far and the work that is in the pipeline.

The Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace is developing norms and policy initiatives that intend to counter the risk to the overall security and stability of cyberspace due to rise of offensive cyber-activities, and especially those by states.

Session Abstract

In this global environment we see conflict between states takes new forms, and cyber-activities are playing a leading role. There is an increasing risk of undermining the peaceful use of cyberspace and a growing for need norms and policies to enhance international security and stability.

The Global Commission on the Stability of Cyberspace, with commissioners from diverse backgrounds, sets out to develop proposals for norms and policies to enhance international security and stability and guide responsible state and non-state behavior in cyberspace.

During this lunch panel we want to engage with the IETF community to discuss the norms the commission Continue reading

Fetching Pcap Files and running Wireshark – Junos Pyez

As a part of some content development and revision on MPLS, I was trying to capture some MPLS Pcap Files from the Vmx Router. The problem was that every time I capture a file, I had to first scp or sftp into the device and then after successful import, I had to run Wireshark on it.

The Aim of the post is to fetch the pcap file and run Wireshark on it. Am not a decent programmer by any stretch of the imagination, anyone can see that from my code ? but the point that matters is that it works and you should give it a try too.

https://github.com/yukthr/auts/blob/master/junos_pyez/getfile_executewireshark.py– Is the file

 

 

When I run this program to fetch a non-existent Pcap file

 

And when I query for an existent file

10 hot SD-WAN startups to watch

The SD-WAN market is hot, with all of the usual networking suspects (Cisco, VMware, AT&T, Citrix, etc.) staking a claim. But make no mistake, this is a market sector that was built, defined, and refined by startups.A few early movers have already been taken off the table, snatched up by incumbents seeking to modernize their networking portfolios: Cisco acquired Viptela for $610 million; VMware bought VeloCloud for an estimated $449 million; NTT purchased Virtela for $525 million, and Riverbed, which was a leader in the precursor WAN optimization space, acquired Ocedo (price undisclosed) to help it manage its transition to a software-defined future.To read this article in full, please click here
