What would the Internet look like—or what kinds of services would need to be developed and deployed—to make boradband class service available to every user? What could this kind of development do to drive entire societies forward? Micah Beck, from the University of Tennessee, joins Tom Ammon and Russ White to discuss universal broadband on this episode of the Hedge.
On today's Day Two Cloud we talk about what it's like to interview for a job at a massive tech company. How do you get yourself in line? What can you expect from the interview? How do you prepare? How do you overcome your own imposter syndrome? Our guest is Nathaniel Avery, Outbound Product Manager at Google Cloud. He recently ran the gauntlet of the tech interview, and is here to share tips and insights on the process.

Welcome to our DDoS Threat Report for the third quarter of 2022. This report includes insights and trends about the DDoS threat landscape - as observed across Cloudflare’s global network.
Multi-terabit strong DDoS attacks have become increasingly frequent. In Q3, Cloudflare automatically detected and mitigated multiple attacks that exceeded 1 Tbps. The largest attack was a 2.5 Tbps DDoS attack launched by a Mirai botnet variant, aimed at the Minecraft server, Wynncraft. This is the largest attack we’ve ever seen from the bitrate perspective.
It was a multi-vector attack consisting of UDP and TCP floods. However, Wynncraft, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game Minecraft server where hundreds and thousands of users can play on the same server, didn’t even notice the attack, since Cloudflare filtered it out for them.
Overall this quarter, we've seen:
Daniel Dib posted a number of excellent questions on Twitter, including:
While forwarding a received Type-5 LSA to other areas, why does the ABR not change the Advertising Router ID to it’s own IP address? If ABR were able to change the Advertising Router ID in the Type-5 LSA, then there would be no need for Type-4 LSA which meant less OSPF overhead on the network.
TL&DR: The current implementation of external routes in OSPF minimizes topology database size (memory utilization)
Before going to the details, try to imagine the environment in which OSPF was designed, and the problems it was solving.
A run through using the CLI to set up a Palo firewall at home covering the initial configuration, upgrading, BGP routing and a basic firewall policy.
Today on the Tech Bytes podcast we’re talking deception. That is, deceiving attackers that try to exploit your network by creating fake assets and infrastructure. Sponsor Fortinet is here to talk about using deception techniques to spot intruders via its FortiDeceptor product. We’ll also talk about threat reconnaissance capabilities of a product called FortiRecon. Our guest is Moshe Ben Simon, VP of Product Management.
