Github Repo of Pcaps

I became a little tired manually downloading pcaps from the various, freely available resources on the net so I added a repo to my very basic github repo so that I could simply `git clone` from wherever I am - assuming decent bandwidth and Github don't get to pissed at storing pcaps - as it's only 1.1gb at present, I doubt they will (/me hoping :) ).

I'm not really sure what I plan to do with this repo, I guess I'll extend it and add more as I get around to it. My sole goal at the minute is to use the awesome functionality of Github to manage and modify the content, as well as making it easier for me to remember where the pcaps are ;-)

Being a Support Engineer @ 10gen - Part 1

There's a mis-conception around the role of a "Support Engineer". As a clue, it's not what Urban Dictionary says - A person whose job is to answer calls from customers of a small- to large-sized company...... They are teathered to a their desk all day via phone headset........ phone jockeys usually hate their jobs.......they are are paid well enough..........until they completely burn out, and hate everyone. and doesn't always involve this - Image Source: http://half-bakedbaker.blogspot.ie/2009/11/cannoli-and-broken-computer.html As you can see here , there's lots of open roles in 10gen and more specifically with 10gen, in Dublin . I thought I'd write this quick blog to explain what Support Engineers actually do and why I joined 10gen as a "Support Engineer". I could be wrong but didn't Google come up with term " Site Reliability Engineer " to do away with the stigma associated with being a...

WAF versus DPI Firewall

This is a question, I've frequently been asked in recent years and in the last month, o n one of the internal mailing lists, in my old company, the following question was posted – In simple terms, what tasks is a Web Application Firewall (WAF) able to do that a Deep Inspection Firewall can't and why ? by one of my colleagues. Many of you may be surprised (I know I was initially) but this question still comes up an awful lot. Having answered the email (as a warning, I went into a lot of detail and plugged the awesome Security Onion ), I was requested to write a technical blog on the subject, but as I left the company soon after, the blog was never published. Therefore, to save me answering the question again, I thought I’d publish it so I can just reference the link in future J

LinkedIn Emails

Receiving mails via LinkedIn is an interesting experience. For example, how many folk actually personalise "contact requests" - from what I see, less than 1%. I typically try to because I think it shows some thought has gone into the request and it's friendly, but then "manners" on the Internet is a very different thing to the real world, right ;-) Anyway, to the point of the blog post. In early November (2012), whilst I was preparing my Security Onion presentation for IrissCon (why did I bother when my MBP died on-stage), I received a very interesting and personal email via LinkedIn. The email came from a "Senior International Belief Instigator" (let's call him the SIBI - to save me typing) at Riot Games and the email was literally awesome, it hit many of the key points that you'd hope for in a recruiter email but it also had a wonderful tone. In my ignorance, I knew of League of Legends but not Riot (yes, I am embarrassed by that). I r...
