FuzzyWuzzy was a Python Module
An example of using the fuzzywuzzy Python module to match data sets with similar but not exact data - fuzzy matches! I was recently given a list of locations that I had to analyze. For the analysis, I needed data that was not in the original list (lets call that the source list). Luckily I READ MORE

768K day: the importance of adaptable software in the growing Internet
The Internet is big. Moreover, the Internet is bigger now than when that first sentence was written, and keeps increasing in size. The growth of the Internet from its humble beginnings as a DARPA research project was unprecedented and almost entirely unexpected. This—as well as the widespread usage of older routers and switches as crucial connection points in the Internet—has resulted in real-world scaling issues.
One of these issues, known commonly as “512K day,” occurred on Aug. 12, 2014. On that day, Verizon, a large United States-based Internet provider and Internet exchange point (IXP), submitted an extra 15,000 routes to the global BGP routing table. As these routes propagated across the network, they were accepted by some routers—the ones that had new firmware, or were configured to only store a subset of the global routing table.
But in other routers, this additional route load overran the 512,000 route maximum expected by the firmware designers, causing widespread Internet outages and degradation of service. In many cases, the issue was resolved quickly, but not as quickly as it could have been. Proprietary vendors were required to push out firmware updates for hundreds of router and switch models—a process that can take months. Continue reading
Encryption Helps America Work Safely – And That Goes for Congress, Too
This opinion piece was originally published in The Hill.
Over the past month, Americans across the country have adapted to a new reality of life, which includes social distancing to curb the spread of COVID-19. For those fortunate enough to be able to do so, that means learning to work, attend educational classes and socialize from afar using the Internet. For a huge number of Americans, social distancing means little to no work – and even greater uncertainty. Businesses, schools and government entities everywhere are asking the same question, “can we perform our work online and, just as importantly, can it be done securely?”
As Congress acts to respond to COVID-19, it faces a similar challenge. With some Congressional members and staff testing positive for COVID-19, and others choosing to self-isolate, lawmakers are exploring whether they can perform the most critical aspects of their office remotely – deliberation and voting. For Congress to be able to vote remotely on legislation, measures to ensure the integrity of these communications is critical. If even one vote is changed or blocked by a criminal or foreign adversary, the legitimacy of congressional decisions, and thus Congress as a whole, will be called into question. Any digital voting solution would need to rely on strong encryption to be secure.
Encryption is a critical tool to provide confidentiality and integrity to digital communications. Encryption enables much of the flexibility needed for staff to work from Continue reading
Announcing the Results of the 1.1.1.1 Public DNS Resolver Privacy Examination
On April 1, 2018, we took a big step toward improving Internet privacy and security with the launch of the 1.1.1.1 public DNS resolver — the Internet's fastest, privacy-first public DNS resolver. And we really meant privacy first. We were not satisfied with the status quo and believed that secure DNS resolution with transparent privacy practices should be the new normal. So we committed to our public resolver users that we would not retain any personal data about requests made using our 1.1.1.1 resolver. We also built in technical measures to facilitate DNS over HTTPS to help keep your DNS queries secure. We’ve never wanted to know what individuals do on the Internet, and we took technical steps to ensure we can’t know.
We knew there would be skeptics. Many consumers believe that if they aren’t paying for a product, then they are the product. We don’t believe that has to be the case. So we committed to retaining a Big 4 accounting firm to perform an examination of our 1.1.1.1 resolver privacy commitments.
Today we’re excited to announce that the 1.1.1.1 resolver examination has been completed Continue reading
