Kernel Programming 101 – Creating your own Linux Kernel Module
Have you ever wanted to write your own kernel module? This multi-part blog post will talk about creating your first kernel module, using the proc file system, gathering and updating statistics and will cover topics such as your kernel as a menu items to menuconfig, setting defaults in the kernel config, registering network callbacks for specific types of packets taking Cisco CDP as an example and some tips-tricks in writing and debugging kernel code. A lot of my own learning has been through blogs and experiments. One source that is really great and does summarize a lot of what my blog will talk about and more is TLDP (The Linux Documentation Project).
When there's need to perform operations without cpu cycles wastage and/or reduce user space copy overheads, kernel programming suits the bill. Taking networking and linux networking stack as Continue reading

Alpha Testing the AlphaLeon HTTP Bot
ASERT was initially alerted about an emerging threat called AlphaLeon by Deep & Dark Web intelligence provider Flashpoint in August 2015. It caught and kept our interest because it sounded like it could be a new “banker” malware family. While it took some time to find samples of the malware in the wild, this post […]Alpha Testing the AlphaLeon HTTP Bot

How often do you find yourself scratching your head, trying to remember a command that you knew by heart but just can’t remember when you need it most? It happens for me quite often. Probably because I am aging or may be there is too much stuff in my brain attic. But I found a solution […]Don’t Touch My Mustache, Aruba!
It’s been a year since Aruba Networks became Aruba, a Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Company. It’s been an interesting ride for everyone involved so far. There’s been some integration between the HPE Networking division and the Aruba teams. There’s been presentations and messaging and lots of other fun stuff. But it all really comes down to the policy of non-interference.
Don’t Tread On Me
HPE has done an admirable job of keeping their hands off of Aruba. It sounds almost comical. How many companies have acquired a new piece and then done everything possible to integrate it into their existing core business? How many products have had their identity obliterated to fit in with the existing model number structure?
Aruba isn’t just a survivor. It’s come out of the other side of this acquisition healthy and happy and with a bigger piece of the pie. Dominick Orr didn’t just get to keep his company. Instead, he got all of HPE’s networking division in the deal! That works out very well for them. It allows Aruba to help integrate the HPE networking portfolio into their existing product lines.
Aruba had a switching portfolio before the acquisition. But that was just an afterthought. It Continue reading
