This is security-based but coming from another angle.
I manage MDT servers and imaging. The network is managed by a third-party agency (POS) which has no stake in being responsive to our issues. Over the past few months PXE boot has become… Continue reading What can block PXE broadcasts and block authentication [closed]
I’ve recently taken a job that has me more involved in network architecture than I ever have been, so please offer me some patience.
I am standing up a network at a new office location. So far I have a firewall stood up behind the perimete… Continue reading Management Network Architecture
Rejoice! Gone are the long chains of if…else statements, because switch statements will soon be here — sort of. What the Python gods are actually giving us are match statements. match …read more Continue reading Python Will Soon Support Switch Statements
Building a front-end for business applications is often a matter of reinventing the wheel, but because every business’ needs are slightly different, it’s also hard to automate. Kleeen is the latest startup to attempt this, with a focus on building the user interface and experience for today’s data-centric applications.

Piezo elements have the useful property of being bidirectional; that is they can move when you apply electricity to them, but they can also generate electricity when you move them. [Carl] takes advantage of this fact to make buttons that …read more
Ten years ago or so, I bought a Mikrotik device. It was the cheapest and only one for sale which had four network ports (plus one for uplink) and did not support WiFi, which I specifically did not want due to safety concerns.
(I have no lo… Continue reading How am I supposed to handle updates of my NAT switch? [migrated]
If you need to move a lot of data, and fast, Gigabit Ethernet is a great way to do it. However, most network hardware outside of datacenters is fairly space inefficient, a headache if you’re building a robot or drone. Enter the Gigablox, a super-compact Gigabit router for just these …read more

While VLAN switches can be used to provide security between network segments using VLAN filtering rules. Is there any possibility to have an security issue which is exploited to VLAN switches?
I’m specifically referring to the macof tool (part of the dsniff package).
As I understand it, MAC flooding is meant to overload a switch’s CAM table, which maps MAC addresses to switch ports.
Where does specifying IP addresses and/or TCP … Continue reading When MAC flooding, why would an attacker specify IP addresses and/or TCP ports?
