Michael Kashin has a good post on source IP address selection in Linux. Servers/Hardware I must admit that I always wanted to have a Sun workstation, and I’ve had an interest in SunOS/Solaris for years (check out this link if you don’t believe me). Here are some design considerations for Wi-Fi 6E (6GHz) networks.

Customers will act on market shifts that makes the purchase and resale of hardware and software no longer viable opting instead for the integration of cloud-based services. Identity will be the new security perimeter for consumers of cloud services.

Devices first started as tightly-coupled hardware and software solutions. In recent years, we’ve seen more devices running off-the-shelf software (like Linux). For the security appliance, all traffic is actually intercepted by the hypervisor, which will generate context switches for every I/O packet received.

First up, there’s a great article on using IPVLAN with Docker and Cumulus Linux (with a tie back to sFlow, naturally!). Here’s a walkthrough by Cody Bunch on setting up BGP on Linux with Cumulus Quagga. Servers/Hardware. Rob Hirschfeld has an article listing some ways containers are more secure than VMs. Thanks Jason!

As a developer you can go to GitHub, see the license agreements, and then add the code to your next build. Knudsen: My name is Jonathan Knutson, and I am a security researcher at synopsis. In software security, a broker is something that gathers and reports information. Vamosi: The idea behind Open Source is great.

Vamosi: But as someone who wrote a book questioning the security of our mass produced IoT devices, I wonder why no one bothered to test and certify these devices before they were installed? And on the other hand, we're saying security, that's a secondary concern. But we all know how security by obscurity works in the end.

It manages all the hardware and all the software on a system. So what do we mean by managing all the hardware? That program, then, handled all the issues of hardware and software. And now, what has happened is we've got much more massive hardware, much more massive memory, much more massive applications. And software?

Network defense guy, I was working at university and had a server get hacked into we're gonna blow report and it was super cool and then ended up getting hired as a security engineer at the university as a student, because I was just like, oh, this is cool. Anyway, one year there was this weird hybrid of hardware and software challenge.

The decision to do hardware SKUs was really centered on that. But] if it’s, we’re going to go compete with one hardware competitor and we just want to make it as easy as possible to compare our one product to their one product, that was the thought process that would have you push to say, no, just do one thing. Is it playing out?
