February 15, 2013

5

In this post I tested in my lab if tunneling with icmp really opens a hole that a simple stateful firewall cannot realize. ICMP is a protocol that is opened everywhere since we need it for our daily job and honestly I have never thought that even with this I open a hole on firewall. […]

my problem with clusterXL_admin command

February 6, 2013

The clusterXL_admin command is really fine, but i think it is not ready now. It has just one big problem – in my point of view. But the whole post has really low priority…it is really only for geeks. :-) Lets say the cluster members should be restarted but with a controlled way. How can […]

This post is a short story and a summary what grub means and how it is used under SPLAT. After installing R70 Provider-1 on an Openserver and upgrading it to R70.40 I do not have experienced any problem. After upgrading from R70.40 to R70.50 the server just booted again and again with kernel panic, there […]

Migrate Cisco ASA configuration, certificates and private keys

November 4, 2012

1

The fact I wrote this post is to clear what happens with the RSA keys if I move the whole configuration and certificates and their private keys to another firewall with the same IP Address. IF the IP has changed the migration ofthe certificate has not much sense if the certificate is based on IP. […]

I have alarm sounds in my monitoring system for many  companies and it was just silence, no alarms… I had to check the settings with the alsamixer gui (alsamixer command) and something […]

That was the most important and critical security issue I have ever had! :-) I wanted to see the big jump, the Red Bull Stratos, but I was on the way home. I have tried to watch it on the road with my linux mint laptop. I have already had a Geniatech DVB-T TV Stick […]

Just a quick note about CoreXL

As a CCSE with about 5 years experienses I must admit I have never had any issue with multicores. But for the CCSE exam it must be clear and have to be saved in our mind. The only required operating system is SecurePlatform, but I am always courious about the other platforms as well. Here […]
