Adobe, IPv6 feature heavily in new threat reports

Scott Hogg writes, "Over 9 months ago I posted a blog about the numerous annual security reports that are published by various organizations. However, in the rapidly-changing world of Internet security much has changed since then. New security reports have since been written and it is time to revisit these reports to see what different organizations are observing." Here's a list of the latest research reports and a brief summary on their findings. Adobe has become a bigger villain, and IPv6 a bigger hero.

    Tolly lab test creating major dust-up among Cisco and HP data center gurus by Brad Reese

    Kevin Houston's excellent blog - Blades Made Simple, has generated a fascinating "sparring match" between Cisco and HP data center gurus. This ongoing "technical duel" is being fueled by the controversial results of The Tolly Group's recent lab test that was commissioned by HP: HP BladeSystem c7000 with ProLiant BL460c G6 Servers vs Cisco UCS 5100 with B200 Servers Network Bandwidth Scalability Comparison Source: The Tolly Group Even Kevin Tolly has made an appearance within the... 15

    Kickin' VAS with OpenVAS! by Jimmy Ray Purser

    Twitter can be used for a bunch of useless, time killing things. Things like what a goober celebrity thinks of grooming a cat with a dog brush or the endless string of folks posting lines to songs. OK, I get it! you like Spandau Ballet (UNFOLLOW). If you follow me on Twitter, I also do my fair share (and then some) of stupid tweets. From my love affair with In N Out Burger and Popeye's Chicken to the ramblings of a sleep deprived, caffeine fueled mind. The real reason I tweet is so I can...

DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is the research and development arm of the U.S. Department of Defense. DARPA is well known for... 2

    STP Lab Part II – Recalling All the Ways to Tweak the STP Topology by Wendell Odom

    CCNA requites that you understand various ways to tweak the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) topology. CCNP SWITCH requires that you master those features, plus other more advanced STP tools. And the new TSHOOT exam requires that you be able to quickly and easily analyze a VLAN to determine the STP topology with surety and with speed. The trick here isn't to understand any one feature, but to know the configuration and show commands well enough to be sure of that topology, and the commands that...
