RouterJockey is launching a clothing line?!?!???

Ok maybe that title is a bit grandiose… But due to the great response I received Friday morning from the launch of the original PCAP shirt, and the IPv6 follow-up, I decided to create a few new designs and put everything into a store front. If the demand continues I will continue to publish new shirts, and keep up with relaunching original designs into their own campaigns. Not that I expect the demand for these shirts to continue long term, but you never know. Nevertheless I appreciate everyone’s support thus far.

But I need you! Yes… You! I need your ideas, and most importantly I need your feedback. So please, contact me on twitter and let me know what you think. If you like what you see, please share the url for the store.

Without further ado…

How to run Juniper vMX in UNetLab

Juniper offers its brilliant MX routers for virtual environments – namely vMX. And we cant name ourselves engineers if we wouldn’t try to run one in the Unetlab. Running vMX in the unetlab is a simple task, yet I see many complaints about vMX not working. With this being said I invite you to a journey called “running vMX

Grab your new credit card and get ready to dip your chip

This column is available in a weekly newsletter called IT Best Practices.  Click here to subscribe.  If you live in the United States and you have a credit card, chances are high your bank recently sent you a new card with an embedded smart chip. Banks and other card issuers are scurrying to put chip-enabled credit cards in their customers' hands. Debits cards, too. These cards are critical for a new security system for card-based payments that will go into effect in the U.S. soon.In the lingo of the payments industry, the new cards are called EMV cards. EMV is an open set of specifications for smart cards and other acceptance devices such as smart phones and fobs. EMV stands for Europay, MasterCard and Visa, which are the three companies that developed the standard in 1994. Today the EMV standard is managed by EMVCo LLC, which has six member organizations – American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, UnionPay and Visa – and dozens of EMVCo associates. EMVCo makes decisions on a consensus basis to assure card infrastructure uniformity throughout the world.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

PlexxiPulse—Reflections on VMworld

It was great to see demonstrations of solutions in action and the impact they have on their customers. There were a few things that made an impression on me at the show that I included in a blog post earlier this week. Were you at the show in San Francisco last week? What were your key takeaways?

Business 2 Community: The Future of Networking Will Be Written By the Leaders
By Jim Rapoza
One of my favorite bands of all time is The Clash, and a famous quote attributed to their late band leader Joe Strummer is that “the future is unwritten.” And in most cases that is very true. For example, few people in 2005 could have successfully predicted many of the trends and realities of today, whether in the everyday world or in the realm of technology. But while the future may be unwritten, sometimes we do have a pretty good Continue reading

Website hackers hijack Google webmaster tools to prolong infections

Hackers who compromise websites are also increasingly verifying themselves as the owners of those properties in Google's Search Console. Under certain circumstances this could allow them to remain undetected longer than they otherwise would be, researchers warn.The Google Search Console, formerly known as the Google Webmaster Tools, is a very useful service for administrators to understand how their websites perform in search results.In addition to providing analytics about search queries and traffic, it also allows webmasters to submit new content for crawling and to receive alerts when Google detects malware or spam issues on their websites.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: CloudFlare’s 45th data center

Kuala Lumpur joins the CloudFlare network as our 45th global point of presence (PoP). While this latest deployment comes only a day after the announcement of our expansion in Berlin (back-to-back!), it's been a long three years since we last crossed a new border in Asia. Kuala Lumpur expands our presence in the Asia-Pacific region to nine PoPs: Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland.

No boomerangs allowed

One of the difficulties of delivering content locally in certain parts of Asia (and in many other parts of the world for that matter) is that certain ISPs only connect with other ISPs in the same local Internet ecosystem outside of their national borders. In the absence of domestic interconnection, a request (e.g. an e-mail or web request) from one local ISP to another "boomerangs" outside of the national border before it is ultimately delivered to another local ISP. If you live or travel in certain parts of Asia, this is one of the leading culprits for why the web feels slow. The lack of a domestic and central interconnection point also makes it challenging for networks like CloudFlare, both Continue reading

PCAP or it didn’t happen…. The t-shirt!

front
Some days I don’t know why I do things… But last night I was playing around with creating a PCAP meme when my friend Josh Kittle said he’d be interested in a t-shirt like that. I got to thinking about it and realized some network engineers out there also might enjoy something like this, so I fired up a campaign on teespring!

Let me know what you think, I may do other shirts in the future as this was fun to work on. If you have any ideas you don’t plan on using, let me know and I might work on developing them.

Oh, and since Jay Franklin had to have an IPv6 shirt… I also launched another version with an IPv6 packet capture, and the #IPv6 hashtag on the back.

Challenges around Operationalizing Threat Intelligence

When it comes to threat intelligence, there seem to be two primary focus areas in play:  The threat intelligence data itself and the legislative rhetoric around threat intelligence sharing (i.e. CISA, CISPA, etc.).  What’s missing?  The answer to a basic question:  How do organizations get actual value out of threat intelligence data and threat intelligence sharing in a meaningful way?As it turns out, the answer to this question isn’t obvious and many enterprises continue to struggle as they seek to “operationalize” threat intelligence.  In a recently published ESG research report titled, Threat Intelligence and Its Role Within Enterprise Cybersecurity Practices, ESG surveyed 304 cybersecurity professionals working at enterprise organizations (i.e. more than 1,000 employees), and asked them to rate themselves in terms of their ability to operationalize threat intelligence (note: I am an ESG employee).  The data indicates that:To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
