Bad def of Rickrolling

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:00:31 +0000

"Rickrolling" is generally the act of tricking someone into watching the music video of the song you mentioned, not viewing a picture of the singer. Still, you are correct that this is most likely a reference to rickrolling.

Junk Anyway

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 21:00:30 +0000

When we tested MARS out in the begining it was junk and still is - at least Cisco made one good decision with this. Never was able to get just raw syslog out without jumping through hoops.

Spec Sheet

infotech2 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 23:01:08 +0000

It looks like Sonicwall updated their spec sheet. They list the TZ200 "Stateful Throughput" at 100 Mbps and the TZ210 at 200 Mbps. This is asumming Stateful Throughput is what you're referring to as "typical internet performance."

Too little is known about what potential foes have placed into space and how much space debris is threatening to damage American orbiters.

symantec rides apple malware hype

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:46:36 +0000

They simply want to profit from the Mac malware drama.

Cisco has a non-denial comment!

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:48:49 +0000

Are they really getting out of the 3rd party support or not? The CISCO answer was certainly evasive. I wonder if he moonlights as a Congressman or Senator?

National Cyber Security Prevention

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:47:44 +0000

Unless they bring someone of Ms. Melissa Hathaway's credentials back in, we are doomed! It's my own personal belief that it has been downhill at even a faster rate since she departed. It's time to have accountability without K Street and Senators that have false alligiences.. Yet we continue to work the system as we do have a solution that our Goliath's cannot offer.

Can we block all IPv6 tunnels in our enterprise network?

Eric Vyncke — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:10:37 +0000

A major IPv4 to IPv6 transition technique is the use of tunnels; this is encapsulating IPv6 packets into IPv4 packets that can then be transported over the IPv4-only parts of the Internet. Those tunnels can also be used within the enterprise network either on purpose (for example to traverse some legacy network devices not supporting IPv6) or not on purpose... Read more

If you want to be a CEO but not have any of the real responsibilities of one, you could try to play a new online game being offered by Cisco. The company this week posted myPlanNet, a computer game that lets anyone be a broadband executive making network deployment decisions. Read more

vcruz911 — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:06:48 +0000

Another whitelisting vendor worth looking into is Savant Protection, out of Hudson, New Hampshire: http://www.savantprotection.com/

IAM Cost Jusification

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 00:22:41 +0000

Dave, I don’t agree with Perkins that "We need to accept the fact that IAM is not a clearly defined, well-bounded set of applications and services that lend themselves easily or conveniently to a traditional justification model.” Firstly we do need to show that IAM is clearly defined (it is) and easily justified (some of it is).

Contradicts the spirit of open source

Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:57:11 +0000

Anyone else see the humor in that Centrify is pushing a proprietary solution to a solution which is marketed as an open source solution. Likewise Open has some faults but at least it has a free open source solution.
