Cryptojacking exploded last year, according to Symantec’s latest annual security threat landscape report. It found detections of cryptocurrency coin miners grew by a whopping 8,500 percent in 2017.
Note: This article was first published at Packet Pushers.net on March 5, 2018 I was preparing for a podcast and started comparing the complexity of a private vs. public WAN. I doodled some diagrams and realized that using Internet bandwidth for SD-WAN to replace private bandwidth is actually simpler. Perhaps because the familiar is always […]
Before we get started, let me first say that just because we can, doesn’t mean we should. I got a request to show an example of how dynamic VLAN assingment based on mac-address could work and this is the results of that request. Before anyone takes this code and runs with it, let me first say that you really need to think about whether or not this is a good idea for you and your organization.
If you want dynamic VLAN assignment, there are other ways to accomplish this and I would encourage you to look into them before going down this path.
That being said – It was a fun little project and I wanted to share it with you all.
For this project, the goal is to write a simple script to help us automatically assign the right VLAN to a host based on the MAC address of that host.
Now we all know there are different ways to do this, like pure mac-authentication using a RADIUS server, or even using a mac-based VLAN configuration, but that wouldn’t be as fun as trying to get this work with Arista’s eAPI now would it?

The vendor says current IT-based container platforms are not robust enough. Knitter includes multiple network planes, static application IP address migration, and configurable IP resources.
Google unleashed more than 20 cloud security updates including better visibility across cloud services and potential threats and beefed up security against email phishing attacks.
The company evaluated about three different SD-WAN products before deciding to use Silver Peak for its SD-WAN and EdgeConnect WAN optimization.
The dark and mysterious art of artificial intelligence and machine learning is neither straightforward, or easy. AI systems have been termed “black boxes” for this reason for decades now. We desperately continue to present ever larger, more unwieldy datasets to increasingly sophisticated “mystery algorithms” in our attempts to rapidly infer and garner new knowledge.
How can we try to make all of this just a little easier?
Hyperscalers with multi-million dollar analytics teams have access to vast, effectively unlimited compute and storage of all shapes and sizes. Huge teams of analysts, systems managers, resilience and reliability experts are standing up …

I have not counted the IETF’s I have attended; I only know the first RFC on which I’m listed as a co-author was published in 2000, so this must be close to 20 years of interacting with the IETF community, and I’m pretty certain I’ve attended at least two meetings a year across that time, and three meetings a year in most of those years. Across that time, there has never been a time when I have not been told, at least once, “the IETF is broken.” And there has not been a single time I cannot remember agreeing with the sentiment.
So, how is the IETF broken? The trend that bothers me the most right now is the gold rush syndrome. A new technology is brought into the IETF, and if it looks like it might somehow be “important,” there is a “land rush” as people stake out new drafts, find use cases, find corner cases, and work to develop drafts and communities around those drafts. This generally results in a sort of ossification process, where there are clear insiders and outsiders, an entirely new vocabulary is developed, and the drafts fly so fast and furious there is Continue reading
J’ai le plaisir de vous présenter notre nouveau projet MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) de droits numériques (New Digital Rights) qui enseignera aux citoyens leurs droits en matière de données personnelles à travers les frameworks GDPR et MyData. Il est financé par le programme de financement Beyond the Net de l’Internet Society et rendu possible grâce à des bénévoles.
Le projet est un partenariat entre ISOC Finland Chapter et Open Knowledge Finland. D’autres ONG et associations comme Electronic Frontier Finland, Faktabaari et des organisations d’étudiants seront mobilisées.
The post Les débuts des nouveaux droits numériques pour les citoyens finlandais appeared first on Internet Society.
I’m pleased to introduce our new project New Digital Rights MOOC (Massive Open Online Course), that will teach citizens about their personal data rights through GDPR and MyData frameworks. It is funded by the Internet Society’s Beyond the Net Funding Programme and made possible with volunteers.
The project is a partnership between ISOC Finland Chapter and Open Knowledge Finland. Other NGO’s and associations like Electronic Frontier Finland, Faktabaari, and student organisations will be engaged.
The aim of the project is to make citizens more aware of their digital rights, initially focusing on explaining GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and MyData. The solution is to educate people through a MOOC-platform and series of workshops that create content and train people and organizations to use it.
MyData is the biggest part of our work in Open Knowledge Finland at the moment and we have made a whole conference around this Nordic model of personal data management. It is very much entwined with the changes in the GDPR and we felt that while we made people aware of relevant changes in the European data protection, MyData could be explained in parallel to the GDPR, in a separate, cross-referenced module.
As of now, there will not Continue reading
