It was my privilege to host a panel during ONUG London 2018 and my face was shoved in front of a camera as part of the package. I surprised myself here with ‘thought lording’ about digital transformation that seems to be intelligent and coherent. I extracted best and relevant bits into this video. Here are […]
The post Some Thoughts on Digital Transformation appeared first on EtherealMind.
Network automation is scary when you start using it in a brownfield environment. After all, it’s pretty easy to propagate an error to all devices in your network. However, there’s one thing you can do that’s usually pretty harmless: collect data from network devices and create summary reports or graphs.
I collected several interesting solutions created by attendees of our Building Network Automation Solutions online course and described them in a short video.
Want to create something similar? No time to procrastinate – the registration for the Spring 2019 course ends tomorrow.
This is the second part of the tutorial that aims to deploy Check Point Gaia as a personal firewall under Linux. Let' assume that we have created underlying network infrastructure with the scripts create_taps.sh and bridge_interfaces.sh in Part1. This part goes further and explains Gaia installation on QEMU virtual machine (VM). We will use the same network topology depicted on the Picture 1.1 of the part 1. Let's start with the point 2.

2. Checkpoint Gaia Installation
First, we need to create an empty qcow VM disk with qemu-img utility as we want to install Gaia into this image.
$ /usr/local/bin/qemu-img create -f qcow2 checkpoint.img 100G
As we downloaded Gaia ISO image in the part1 of the tutorial, we can start Checkpoint Gaia VM machine with the ISO attached to Qemu cdrom.
$ sudo /usr/local/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -m 4096M -enable-kvm -smp 2 \
-boot d -cdrom Check_Point_R80.10_T462_Gaia.iso checkpoint.img \
-netdev tap,id=net0,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no \
-device e1000,netdev=net0,mac=00:11:22:33:44:00 \
-netdev tap,id=net1,ifname=tap1,script=no,downscript=no \
-device e1000,netdev=net1,mac=00:11:22:33:44:01 \
-netdev tap,id=net2,ifname=tap2,script=no,downscript=no \
-device e1000,netdev=net2,mac=00:11:22:33:44:02
Below are the configuration options.
Select:
- Install Gaia on this system
- Proceed with the installation

Dealing with abuse complaints isn’t easy, for any Internet company. The variety of subject matters at issue, the various legal and regulatory requirements, and the uncertain intentions of complaining parties combine to create a ridiculously complex situation. We often suggest to those who propose easy answers to this challenge that they spend a few hours tracking the terminal of a member of our Trust & Safety team to get a feel for how difficult it can be. Yet even we were a bit surprised by an unusual abuse report we’ve been dealing with recently.
Last week, we received what looked like a notable law enforcement request: a complaint from an entity that identified itself as the “New Jersey Office of the Attorney General” and claimed to be a notice Cloudflare was “serving files consisting of 3D printable firearms in violation of NJ Stat. Ann. § 2C:39-9 3(I)(2).” The complaint further asked us to “delete all files described within 24 hours” and threatened “to press charges in order to preserve the safety of the citizens of New Jersey.”
Because we are generally not the host of information, and are unable to remove content from the Internet that we don’t Continue reading
