Synchronize Network Management Parameters across Network Devices

While I have stock homework assignments prepared for every module of the Building Network Automation Solutions online course I always encourage the students to pick a challenge from their production network and solve it during the course.

Pavel Rovnov decided to focus on consistency of network management parameters (NTP, SNMP, SSH and syslog configuration) across Extreme and Cumulus switches, Fortinet firewalls and several distributions of Linux.

CCDE Practical/Lab Exam Result Policy

Many of my students have been asking whether CCDE Practical/Lab Exam Result policy is still the same.    As you might know after CCDE 2017 May exam cancellation  , practical exam results can be learned after 8 to 12 weeks. This mean, if you attend CCDE Practical exam, you cannot learn the result (Pass or fail) […]

CCIE SP Written and Lab Content Updates v4.1

For those who may not have heard, Cisco recently updated their blueprint for the CCIE Service Provider Written and Lab Exams. According to Cisco, only about 10% of the overall blueprint has changed and topics on 4.1 will be similar to those on 4.0. Read on to learn more.

Domain Changes:

4.1 domain topics are almost exactly the same as 4.0 topics. The main difference in domains is that domains 1 and 3 (service provider architecture and evolution and service provider base services) have been merged into one domain. While other domain topics did not change, slight shifts were made to domain weights.

Weighting of Domains:

 

 

Topic changes within the Domains:

  • Domain 1 (Core Routing): No topics were added or removed within this domain, but some items were moved, rephrased, or merged into one single item.
  • Domain 2 (Service Provider Architecture and Services) now holds tasks of the original domain 1 and 3. Other items that were part of domain 1, such as software architecture, mobility node functions, and virtualization concepts, were rephrased to better define their scope.
  • Domain 3 (Access and Aggregation) had a few topics items removed.
  • Domain 4 (High Availability and Continue reading

Web Cache Deception Attack revisited

In April, we wrote about Web Cache Deception attacks, and how our customers can avoid them using origin configuration.

Read that blog post to learn about how to configure your website, and for those who are not able to do that, how to disable caching for certain URIs to prevent this type of attacks. Since our previous blog post, we have looked for but have not seen any large scale attacks like this in the wild.

Today, we have released a tool to help our customers make sure only assets that should be cached are being cached.

A brief re-introduction to Web Cache Deception attack

Recall that the Web Cache Deception attack happens when an attacker tricks a user into clicking a link in the format of http://www.example.com/newsfeed/foo.jpg, when http://www.example.com/newsfeed is the location of a dynamic script that returns different content for different users. For some website configurations (default in Apache but not in nginx), this would invoke /newsfeed with PATH_INFO set to /foo.jpg. If http://www.example.com/newsfeed/foo.jpg does not return the proper Cache-Control headers to tell a web cache not to cache the content, web caches may decide to cache Continue reading
