How about unplugging the Ethernet cable?
- untothebreach 13y agoDid you read about what this actually does?
- TallGuyShort 13y agoI dislike comments like this because you're not actually making a point. For all you know the parent did read the article. I did too - and I still took a minute to not have the same concern as the parent. If you read the article, why don't you enlighten everyone else reading your comment?
- mvikramaditya 13y agoParaphrasing from the article, this tool allows the machine to have internet access while being isolated from the local network.
- AsymetricCom 13y agoThis should be enforced at the switch level.
- hack_edu 13y agoSometimes Ops takes 48 hours to resolve tickets.
- TallGuyShort 13y agoMy first thought was similar - because I was picturing actively self-replicating malware, and you're right - if you don't want that on your own network you shouldn't be opening up everyone else's network to it. But I think the point is just to open up pockets inside your trusted network for less-trusted machines. It's not that you think they have viruses, it's that you just don't want them to have access to the rest of your internals. Most places have an entirely separate network for guests, but if this was reliable and robust enough, maybe it would be a nice alternative.
