Cloudflare Acquires Linc

Cloudflare Acquires Linc
Cloudflare Acquires Linc

Cloudflare has always been about democratizing the Internet. For us, that means bringing the most powerful tools used by the largest of enterprises to the smallest development shops. Sometimes that looks like putting our global network to work defending against large-scale attacks. Other times it looks like giving Internet users simple and reliable privacy services like 1.1.1.1.  Last week, it looked like Cloudflare Pages — a fast, secure and free way to build and host your JAMstack sites.

We see a huge opportunity with Cloudflare Pages. It goes beyond making it as easy as possible to deploy static sites, and extending that same ease of use to building full dynamic applications. By creating a seamless integration between Pages and Cloudflare Workers, we will be able to host the frontend and backend together, at the edge of the Internet and close to your users. The Linc team is joining Cloudflare to help us do just that.

Today, we’re excited to announce the acquisition of Linc, an automation platform to help front-end developers collaborate and build powerful applications. Linc has done amazing work with Frontend Application Bundles (FABs), making dynamic backends more accessible to frontend developers. Their Continue reading

Beat – An Acoustics Inspired DDoS Attack

Beat - An Acoustics Inspired DDoS Attack
Beat - An Acoustics Inspired DDoS Attack

On the week of Black Friday, Cloudflare automatically detected and mitigated a unique ACK DDoS attack, which we’ve codenamed “Beat”, that targeted a Magic Transit customer. Usually, when attacks make headlines, it’s because of their size. However, in this case, it’s not the size that is unique but the method that appears to have been borrowed from the world of acoustics.

Acoustic inspired attack

As can be seen in the graph below, the attack’s packet rate follows a wave-shaped pattern for over 8 hours. It seems as though the attacker was inspired by an acoustics concept called beat. In acoustics, a beat is a term that is used to describe an interference of two different wave frequencies. It is the superposition of the two waves. When the two waves are nearly 180 degrees out of phase, they create the beating phenomenon. When the two waves merge they amplify the sound and when they are out of sync they cancel one another, creating the beating effect.

Acedemo.org has a nice tool where you can create your own beat wave. As you can see in the screenshot below, the two waves in blue and red are out Continue reading

Feedback: AWS Networking

Deciding to create AWS Networking and Azure Networking webinars wasn’t easy – after all, there’s so much content out there covering all aspects of public cloud services, and a plethora of certification trainings (including free training from AWS).

Having that in mind, it’s so nice to hear from people who found our AWS webinar useful ;)

Even though we are working with these technologies and have the certifications, there are always nuggets of information in these webinars that make it totally worthwhile. A good example in this series was the ingress routing feature updates in AWS.

It can be hard to filter through the noise from cloud providers to get to the new features that actually make a difference to what we are doing. This series does exactly that for me. Brilliant as always.

AWS Networking and Azure Networking webinars are available with Standard ipSpace.net Subscription. For even deeper dive into cloud networking check out our Networking in Public Cloud Deployments online course.

Deloitte: 5G to drive edge, open RAN to the forefront in 2021

Edge computing is flagged as a key networking technology for 2021 as well as open radio-access framework, both of which are fundamentally driven forward by mobile data carriers and their rush to deploy 5G, according to Deloitte.The EdgeEdge computing, including compute workloads being handled on or close to endpoints deployed outside the data center, will be among the biggest technological growth areas in 2021. Deloitte predicts that the global market for edge products will rise to $12 billion in 2021, and will continue to grow at a rate of 35% per year thereafter. Close to three-quarters of all businesses, by 2023, will deploy some form of edge computing, the researchers said.To read this article in full, please click here

Navigating Supply-Chain Vulnerabilities with a Zero-Trust Architecture

In light of the SolarWinds breach, we want to help our customers who may have questions on how a Zero Trust Architecture can act as an effective approach to limit the impact of such attacks. VMware has been steadfastly monitoring the evolving situation as we learn more about the supply chain compromise.  

The SolarWinds Compromise 

At this point, the consensus is that organizations with a SolarWinds product that downloaded the SolarWinds-Core-v2019.4.5220-Hotfix5.msp update package should consider themselves breached and start an investigation. In addition, given the extent of the breach, every organization that uses SolarWinds products should be on alert for the possibility of an intrusion.   

Note that the update package was signed on March 24, 2020, which means that the victims of this attacks might have been compromised in late March or early April 2020. Once the attackers successfully compromised the SolarWinds Orion hosts, they may have moved laterally to the hosts monitored by the tool, and possibly beyond those hosts by using additional credentials collected in the exploitation process. Some actions to be taken in order to address this breach are provided by DHS CISA’s Continue reading

On Important Things

I tend to be a very private person; I rarely discuss my “real life” with anyone except a few close friends. I thought it appropriate, though, in this season—both the season of the year and this season in my life—to post something a little more personal.

One thing people often remark about my personality is that I seem to be disturbed by very little in life. No matter what curve ball life might throw my way, I take the hit and turn it around, regain my sense of humor, and press forward into the fray more quickly than many expect. This season, combined with a recent curve ball (one of many—few people would suspect the path my life has taken across these 50+ years), and talking to Brian Keys in a recent episode of the Hedge, have given me reason to examine foundational principles once again.

How do I stay “up” when life throws me a curve ball?

Pragmatically, the worst network outage in the world is not likely to equal the stresses I’ve faced in the military, whether on the flight line or in … “other situations.” Life and death were immediately and obviously present in those times. Continue reading

The Week in Internet News: Google Faces Third U.S. Antitrust Lawsuit

Another game of monopoly: Attorneys general from 38 U.S. states and territories have filed an antitrust lawsuit against Google, just days after 46 states and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission filed antitrust lawsuits against Facebook. The new lawsuit against Google is the third recent antitrust action against the company in recent weeks, CNet says. Ten states previously filed a lawsuit related to Google’s ad auctions, and the U.S. Department of Justice previously filed a lawsuit on Google’s browser deals with smartphone makers. The newest lawsuit targets Google’s search functionality, saying it delivered results that favored its own products over those of competitors.

Order from chaos: Meanwhile, the European Commission is threatening new regulation of big tech firms with rules to aim to “curb the hegemony of dominant multinationals and force them to be more transparent about how content is ranked, advertised and removed,” Euronews reports. Part of the goal is to allow European businesses to “freely and fairly compete online just as they do offline,” said Margrethe Vestager, executive vice president for a Europe Fit for the Digital Age.

The perimeter is breached: Hackers have gotten into the IT systems of several U.S. government agencies and Continue reading

NTC – Damien Garros – Source Of Truth

In this episode, we talk with Damien Garros from Network to Code. Damien works with clients on a daily basis architecting and implementing Source of Truth strategies for network automation solutions.  We spend time talking through how to best approach source of truth, how to solve the age-old problem of populating the source of truth, and talk about several open source projects that can help you on your source of truth journey.
