IPv6 Buzz 070: Building An IPv6 Lab, Revisited
In this week's IPv6 Buzz episode, Ed, Scott, and Tom follow up on episode 44 and talk more about what it takes to build an IPv6 lab—both dual-stack and IPv6-only—as well as with physical hardware and in the cloud).The Week in Internet News: Cambodia Creates Its Own Great Firewall
Traffic cops: The government of Cambodia has moved to establish a national Internet gateway with a single point of entry for traffic into the country, regulated by a government-appointed operator, The Diplomat reports. The Washington Post’s editorial board said the move “strikes at one of the nation’s last vestiges of democratic life.” The move also points to a larger threat to “the entire globe,” led by censorship efforts in China, the editorial board wrote. “China wishes to establish a freedom-crushing model of cyber-sovereignty by which every country sets its own rules for a Web that serves those in power, rather than the people, without any regard for civil liberties or due process of law.”
A deal on the news: Facebook had prohibited Australian users from sharing news on the social media site because of a proposal that would require it and other online services to pay news outlets, but the company has reached a deal with the government there that again allows users to post news articles, the New York Times reports. The deal allows more time for negotiations, but the Australian Senate passed the law anyway, CNet reports.

Cracking WPA/WPA2 Pre-shared Key
This tutorial illustrates cracking of pre-shared key which is needed to gain an access to a WPA/WPA2 network. Instead of explaining the theory behind the attack, I focus on providing commands that you can easily copy and paste and penetrate the network. However, I strongly recommend getting a background to this topic by studying online […]Continue reading...

The Teams Dashboard: Behind the Scenes
Back in 2010, Cloudflare was introduced at TechCrunch Disrupt as a security and performance solution that took the tools of the biggest service providers and made them available to anyone online. But simply replicating these tools wasn’t enough — we needed to make them ridiculously easy to use.
When we launched Cloudflare for Teams almost ten years later, the vision was very much the same — build a secure and powerful Zero Trust solution that is ridiculously easy to use. However, while we talk about what we’re building with a regular cadence, we often gloss over how we are designing Cloudflare for Teams to make it simple and easy to use.
In this blog post we’ll do just that — if that sounds like your jam, keep scrolling.
Building a house
First, let's back up a bit and introduce Cloudflare for Teams.
We launched Cloudflare for Teams in January, 2020. With Teams, we wanted to alleviate the burden Cloudflare customers were feeling when trying to protect themselves and their infrastructure from threats online. We knew that continuing to rely on expensive hardware would be difficult to maintain and impractical to scale.
At its core, Teams joins two products together — Continue reading

Rant: Cisco ACI Complexity
A while ago Antti Leimio wrote a long twitter thread describing his frustrations with Cisco ACI object model. I asked him for permission to repost the whole thread as those things tend to get lost, and he graciously allowed me to do it, so here we go.
I took a 5 days Cisco DCACI course. This is all new to me. I’m confused. Who is ACI for? Capabilities and completeness of features is fantastic but how to manage this complex system?

Using the Cloud as WAN Transport
By integrating virtualized SD-WAN appliances within the various cloud transit gateways, SD-WAN can communicate optimal path selection routing data to and from a public cloud to a customer's private infrastructure.Flow-based monitoring for Magic Transit
Network-layer DDoS attacks are on the rise, prompting security teams to rethink their L3 DDoS mitigation strategies to prevent business impact. Magic Transit protects customers’ entire networks from DDoS attacks by placing our network in front of theirs, either always on or on demand. Today, we’re announcing new functionality to improve the experience for on-demand Magic Transit customers: flow-based monitoring. Flow-based monitoring allows us to detect threats and notify customers when they’re under attack so they can activate Magic Transit for protection.
Magic Transit is Cloudflare’s solution to secure and accelerate your network at the IP layer. With Magic Transit, you get DDoS protection, traffic acceleration, and other network functions delivered as a service from every Cloudflare data center. With Cloudflare’s global network (59 Tbps capacity across 200+ cities) and <3sec time to mitigate at the edge, you’re covered from even the largest and most sophisticated attacks without compromising performance. Learn more about Magic Transit here.
Using Magic Transit on demand
With Magic Transit, Cloudflare advertises customers’ IP prefixes to the Internet with BGP in order to attract traffic to our network for DDoS protection. Customers can choose to use Magic Transit always on or on demand. With always Continue reading
Juniper Rebuilds Its Enterprise SD-WAN Strategy With The Session-Smart Router
Juniper Networks is rebuilding its enterprise SD-WAN strategy around the Session-Smart Router (SSR) from 128 Technology, which Juniper acquired in October 2020. The Session-Smart Router integrates with Juniper's Mist AI platform and will replace Contrail Service Orchestration as its enterprise SD-WAN play.
