Today on Heavy Networking, we talk with Remington Loose, Solutions Architect at a mid-sized VAR, to get a sense of what technology is in demand; what problems customers are trying to solve; and how cloud, DIY, and other forces affect the competitive landscape. It's a #VARlife episode.

I spent the past two weeks enjoying the scenic views at the Philmont Scout Ranch with my son and some of his fellow Scouts BSA troop mates. It was very much the kind of vacation that involved a lot of hiking, mountain climbing, and even some inclement weather. We all completely enjoyed ourselves and I learned a lot about hanging bear bags and taking care of blisters. I also learned a lot about leadership by watching the boys in the crew interact with each other.
Leadership styles are nothing new to the people that read my blog. I’ve talked about them at length in the past. One thing I noticed when I was on the trek was how different leadership styles can clash and create friction among teenagers. As adults we tend to gloss over delivery and just accept that people are the way they are. When you’re fourteen or fifteen you haven’t quite taken that lesson to heart yet. That means more pushing against styles that don’t work for you.
We have all worked for or with someone that has a very authoritarian style in the past. The kind of people that say, “Do this right now” Continue reading
Welcome to Technology Short Take #143! I have what I think is an interesting list of links to share with you this time around. Since taking my new job at Kong, I’ve been spending more time with Envoy, so you’ll see some Envoy-related content showing up in this Technology Short Take. I hope this collection of links has something useful for you!
With Cloudflare Pages, deploying your Jamstack applications is easier than ever — integrate with GitHub and a simple git push deploys your site within minutes. However, one of the limitations of Pages was that triggering deployments to your site only happens within the confines of committing to GitHub. We started thinking about how users who author content consistently on their site — our bloggers and writers — may not always be editing their copy directly via the code but perhaps through a different service. Headless content management systems (CMSs) are a simple solution to solve this problem, allowing users to store their backend content through an editing interface as a service for an application like Pages.
It made us wonder: what if we could trigger deployments based on updates made in other places rather than just via GitHub? Today, we are proud to announce a new way to connect your Pages application with your headless CMSs and databases: introducing Deploy Hooks for Pages.
Headless CMSs such as Contentful, Ghost and Sanity.io allow optimization of content formatting for any type of interface. With tools like these, you can leverage a “decoupled” content management model where all Continue reading
This chapter introduces how Border-PxTR-13 registers the external IP prefix 172.16.30.0/24 received as a BGP update from vEdge-1 to MapSrv-22 using LISP Map-register messages. Chapter 2 explains the LISP RLOC-to-EID mapping process in detail so this chapter just briefly recaps the operation. Figure 5-1 illustrates the overall process. vEdge-1 sends a BGP Update message where it describes the NLRI for prefix 172.16.30.0/24. Border-PxTR-13 first imports the information into the LISP processes. Next, it sends a LISP Map-Register message to MapSrv-22. In addition to IP prefix information, the Map-Register message carries Locator Record information that describes the destination IP address used in the outer IP header (tunnel header) when devices route IP packets towards the advertised subnet.

Hi all!
The blog post is sort of "How to ...?"
Some time ago I needed to prepare a lab environment where I should have to simulate a huge amount of BGP updates between routers. How can we arrange that? The main thing is how to generate a lot of BGP updates? As I see we have two ways:
While Federal funding programs focus on providing connectivity to students and staff, security is often an afterthought and reallocating funds to protect the network can become a challenge. We are excited to announce our Back to School initiative to further support our mission to provide performance and security with no trade-offs.
From start to finish, education customers will work with our dedicated Public Sector team, well-versed in the specific technical environments and business needs for K-12 districts. Your IT team will have access to 24/7/365 technical support, emergency response and support during under attack situations, and ongoing training to continuously help improve your security posture and business continuity plans.
Public schools in the United States, especially K-12s, saw a record-breaking increase in cybersecurity attacks. The K-12 Cyber Incident Map cataloged 408 publicly-disclosed school incidents, including a wide range of cyber attacks; from data breaches to ransomware, phishing attacks, and denial-of-service attacks. This is an 18 percent increase over 2019 and continues the upward trend in attacks since the K-12 Cyber Incident Map started tracking incidents in 2016. To support our public education partners, Cloudflare has created a tailored onboarding experience to help education Continue reading
In a never-ending game of cat and mouse, threat actors are exploiting, controlling and maintaining persistent access in compromised cloud infrastructure. While cloud practitioners are armed with best-in-class knowledge, support, and security practices, it is statistically impossible to have a common security posture for all cloud instances worldwide. Attackers know this, and use it to their advantage. By applying evolved tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs), attackers are exploiting edge cases. As a result, organizations like Capital One, Jenkins, Docker and many others have experienced high-profile breaches.
TTPs are defined as “patterns of activities or methods associated with a specific threat actor or group of threat actors.” TTPs describe how threat actors (the bad guys) orchestrate, execute, and manage their operations attacks. Analysis of TTPs can benefit security operations by providing a description of how threat actors performed their attacks. Kubernetes is not immune to TTPs. Let’s examine some recent cases within the Kubernetes ecosystem.
If you’re an attacker looking for misconfigured Docker instances to exploit, it’s as easy as probing open ports 2375, 2376, 2377, 4243, and 4244 on the internet. Vulnerable instances can also be located using search engines like Continue reading
