Plain old IOS is a monolithic program and tends to be used in older routers and current small-to-medium routers & modern spins of older product lines. IOS XR runs on QNX and tends to be used on routers in a carrier role. IOS XE runs on

Perhaps that's why it seems to be extra specially isolated (separate credentials, separate domain, separate API endpoints).

Many institutions & providers gather Netflow data (source, dest IP+Port, number of bits, flow duration) and store for a period of time to use in detecting DDoS, performance monitoring, and planning transit/peering. Correlating that

The problem with WISP deployments is without exclusive use of spectrum (which you have to win at auction from the FCC vs Verizon/at&t/etc) you can't do LTE-type deployments where you can count on a low noise etc. Beyond

I'd compare ZeroVM to Manta ( http://www.joyent.com/products/manta ) instead of Docker & Warden. AFAIK the idea as is to have as light of a container as possible so you can afford to throw your app at the data

Except that per the article they already had that code written so they couldn't credibly claim that they weren't able to do it: "The representative of Lavabit indicated that Lavabit had the technical capability to decrypt the

There are several microwave radio networks built to link New York and Chicago for high-frequency trading purposes. These paths are several milliseconds shorter than the fiber paths and are a few years old at this point. The article should h

The hilarity here is that Anonymous and the FBI had the same target this go-round.

Which is all well and good if you think you are better than the half-dozen proven open source systems (such as OpenStack Swift) that are in production on large public clouds. Right now you are a unknown player with a unknown product runni

So long as uninformed speculation is running loose... Lavabit's comment that "If you knew what I know about e-mail, you might not use it either." points in a email specific direction as opposed to simple sniffing of traffic.

Medium & large utilities frequently do run their own fiber and/or microwave links. These places also tend to have some level of infosec awareness. Small municipal utilities (primarily water/wastewater treatment) frequently do

It is also possible that they are using WDM-PON with a different wavelength for each subscriber. Even with Active Ethernet (the industry term for dedicated run of fiber to each subscriber) you likely still have a bandwidth constraint somewh

> By contrast, fiber is symmetric, offering full capacities up and down at once. So while cable has a technical justification for "service levels" to offer a server, fiber providers do not. Google Fiber is 1000/1000 Mbit&#

Given Danny Hillis's history (per Wikipedia) isn't it possible that there is some legitimate R&D going on that is reasonable to protect? I'm not really familiar with Intellectual Ventures but he has done some fascinating

They are cheap and you can cycle them quickly without too much grief until you find the good ones. We (little ISP) get them for a few hours each day after school and put them to work answering phones. They get some work experience and credi

This is exciting progress on the (regulatory) future of radio systems in the US. In a nutshell, in the past the FCC assigned exclusive use for a slice of spectrum to a particular user. A while back the FCC established spectrum ghettos (the

I'm doing neither. I'm saying that nothing Binney has said or that has been leaked thus far shows evidence of a program that is designed to comprehensively intercept internet traffic between US persons and that doing so covertly i

Ultimately any sufficiently popular platform will attract the attention of the local security services. The question is who do you fear most, NSA or GHCQ, DGSE etc?

I don't need to think anything about Binney's motives to reason about the possible scope of surveillance on IP traffic. Based on what you'd have to do to capture foreign traffic as opposed to US traffic it makes sense that th

The mythos of Room 641A is troubling as it relies on the idea that spying at 10 or 20 such sites across a handful of providers actually sees enough internet traffic to build a useful picture of US internet activities. AT&T is just one o

What kind of distances are they pushing them to? AirFiber radios (I'm quite fond of mine) and other 24Ghz, 60Ghz, and 80Ghz radios have severe rain fade so you need to keep the distance down to one or two miles unless you feel lucky. Now fi
