Innovium, which makes ASICs to compete with Broadcom and others, is now offering a menu of switches with the SONiC network OS pre-installed. It's a clever opportunity for Innovium to boost its appeal in the whitebox/disaggregation market while also moving its own silicon.

It’s almost exactly three months since I announced ipSpace.net going on an extended coffee break. We had some ideas of what we plan to do at that time, but there were still many gray areas, and thanks to tons of discussions I had with many of my friends, subscribers, and readers, they mostly crystallized into this:
You’re trusting me to deliver. We added a “you might want to read this first” warning to the checkout process, and there was no noticeable drop in revenue. Thanks a million for your vote of confidence!

In April 2020, MalwareHunterTeam found a number of suspicious files in an open directory and posted about them in a series of tweets. Trend Micro later confirmed that these files were part of the first cryptojacking malware by TeamTNT, a cybercrime group that specializes in attacking the cloud—typically using a malicious Docker image—and has proven itself to be both resourceful and creative.
Since this first attack, TeamTNT has continuously evolved its tactics and added capabilities to expand and capture more available cloud attack surfaces. They started with targeting exposed Docker instances and quickly added support for different C2 mechanisms, encryption, DDoS, evasion, persistence and more. Now, their latest variant is targeting the most popular container orchestrator, Kubernetes. Let’s take a closer look.
TeamTNT’s initial attack targeted an exposed, unprotected Docker API on the internet in order to run an Alpine Linux container. Once the container started running on the unprotected Docker API, a series of scripts were downloaded to facilitate the installation of a Monero cryptominer (to carry out scanning and cleaning activities). A notable script used in the attack was <clean.sh>, which removed a bit of technically advanced Kinsing malware. Kinsing is Continue reading
FCoE is dead. We’re beyond the point of even asking if FCoE is dead, we all know it just is. It was never widely adopted and it’s likely never going to be widely adopted. It enjoy a few awkward deployments here and there, and a few isolated islands in the overall data center market, but it it never caught on the way it was intended to.
So what killed FCoE? Here I’m going to share a few thoughts on why FCoE is dead, and really never was A Thing(tm).
Ethernet is the champion of connectivity. It’s as ubiquitous as water in an ocean and air in the.. well, air. All the other mediums (ATM, Frame Relay, FDDI, Token Ring) have long ago fallen by the wayside. Even mighty Infiniband has fallen. Only Fibre Channel still stands as the alternative for a very narrow use case.
The thought is that the sheer volume of Ethernet ports would make them cheaper (and that still might happen), but right now there is no real price benefit from using FCoE versus FC.
In the beginning, especially, FCoE was quite a bit more expensive than running separate Continue reading
