Day Two Cloud 148: Understanding Cloud Security Roles And Responsibilities
If you're a security or network professional wondering if your skills aren't as applicable or useful when it comes to public cloud, don't worry: they are very, very useful. On today's Day Two Cloud podcast we talk with Brandon Carroll on how to properly map traditional infrastructure and network security to public cloud deployments.Pros and Cons of Radio Networking
Radio networking is a wireless communication method that uses radio waves to connect devices. It is commonly used in computer networks, cell phone networks, and other devices that need to communicate wirelessly.
Radio networking is often used in situations where it is not possible or convenient to use wired networking, such as in mobile or portable applications. Radio networking can be either peer-to-peer or infrastructure.
In peer-to-peer networking, each device acts as both a transmitter and receiver, and there is no central access point. Infrastructure networking uses one or more access points that act as repeaters, amplifiers, and signal boosters to extend the range of the network.
Advantages of radio networking
Radio networking has many advantages over other types of wireless communication. It is very reliable and can work in a variety of environments. Radio networking is also very secure and can be encrypted to protect data. Radio networking is also very fast and can support high-speed data transfers.
Low start-up costs
One of the biggest advantages of radio networking is that it has very low start-up costs. All you need is a radio transmitter and receiver, and you can start communicating.
This makes radio networking ideal for Continue reading

Cloudflare’s approach to handling BMC vulnerabilities
In recent years, management interfaces on servers like a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) have been the target of cyber attacks including ransomware, implants, and disruptive operations. Common BMC vulnerabilities like Pantsdown and USBAnywhere, combined with infrequent firmware updates, have left servers vulnerable.
We were recently informed from a trusted vendor of new, critical vulnerabilities in popular BMC software that we use in our fleet. Below is a summary of what was discovered, how we mitigated the impact, and how we look to prevent these types of vulnerabilities from having an impact on Cloudflare and our customers.
Background
A baseboard management controller is a small, specialized processor used for remote monitoring and management of a host system. This processor has multiple connections to the host system, giving it the ability to monitor hardware, update BIOS firmware, power cycle the host, and many more things.
Access to the BMC can be local or, in some cases, remote. With remote vectors open, there is potential for malware to be installed on the BMC from the local host via PCI Express or the Low Pin Count (LPC) interface. With compromised software on the BMC, malware or spyware could maintain persistence on the server.
How we treat content as a product
At Cloudflare, we talk a lot about how to help build a better Internet. On the Product Content Experience (PCX) team, we treat content like a product that represents and fulfills this mission. Our vision is to create world-class content that anticipates user needs and helps build accessible Cloudflare products. We believe we can impact the Cloudflare product experience and make it as wonderful as possible by intentionally designing, packaging, and testing the content.
What is “content like a product”?
I like taking on projects. A singular goal is met, and I clearly know I’m successful because the meaning of “done” is normally very clear. For example, I volunteer some of my time editing academic papers about technology. My role as an editor is temporary and there is a defined beginning and end to the work. I send my feedback and my task is largely complete.
“Content like a product” is when you shift your mindset from completing projects to maintaining a product, taking into consideration the user and their feedback. Product content at Cloudflare is an iterative, living, breathing thing. Inspired by the success of teams that adopt an agile mindset, along with some strategic functions you might find Continue reading

Every network engineer should be familiar with the DNS basics – after all, all network failures are caused by DNS… unless it’s BGP.
The May 2022 ISP Column by Geoff Huston is an excellent place to brush up on your DNS basics and learn about new ideas, including a clever one to push DNS entries that will be needed in the future to a web client through a DNS-over-HTTPS session.
