Dear friends, co-workers and visitors,thanks for surfin' in. My virtual planet of technology interest
represents all the stuff I was doing in my jobs. Starting my career with one of the biggest players in the software industrie, followed by one of the lions of bridging, who had been taken over by a large Canadian Carrier
manufacturer. When I left the Canadians I was involved with VLAN technology, based on all 7-layers. Interesting to see, what a rule-set can do, which is obviously not only set by port, but also based on specific offsets to run a
VLAN based on a certain application. This was also the start to get more into network security, based on access rules, authentication, directories and Radius. VPN and firewalling was also a part of it. I was investigating the world
of blended threats and the risk of malicous code, everybody will be affected in one or the other way. Especially of protecting the door into an enterprise LAN is my todays challange. This kind of protection has been established at
enterprise' networks and also at ISP's environments.. By moving deeper into todays threats, I was seeing also the need of cryptography and stegonography. Back to network security there is an increasing interest in intrusion
prevention or intrusion detections and secure communication on wired and wireless networks. Load balancing and failover design will also be considered in todays plannings. I'm worried to see how many users still trust a provided
network, as I've seen on a wireless traffic analyzer on Cebit 2003. Clear text and passwords are typed in and countless connected workstations had open shares and ports. Oh, boy, these guys had never been hit by intruders or what I
assume, they never figured out, how often they had been explored. Since early 2004, I'm involved with Applicafion Traffic Engineering and MPLS Cos to Application based on QoS mapping. |
