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 ;-)

MongoDB Authori(s|z)ation

Introduction Having answered numerous questions on the new and old authori(s|z)ation within MongoDB, I thought I'd write a short blog post explaining how things work as there seems to be some confusion. What's New Prior to version 2.4 , there was a very basic sense of "Role Based Access Controls" (RBAC) within MongoDB as there were only two roles - read readWrite which is quite limited. For example, if the user has "readWrite", that user is essentially "root" and the user can add/remove users as well as inserting data into the database, i.e. there is no role segregation. Version 2.4 added in the following 3 core roles - userAdmin dbAdmin clusterAdmin with a notable extension such that there are now 4 roles that apply across all databases - readAnyDatabase readWriteAnyDatabase userAdminAnyDatabase dbAdminAnyDatabase This increased RBAC is a significant improvement from a security perspective in MongoDB. It is imp

Eurotash GSE

So I'd the pleasure of talking with Chris John Riley, from Eurotrash , on the night of Sunday, July 1st (yes, Chris isn't a football fan so I good-heartedly missed the half-time discussion of Spain's titi-taka brillance). Chris wanted to chat with me about my experience sitting the GIAC GSE exam and lab earlier this year. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed chatting with Chris and I hope it's not too painful listening to me on the podcast . I don't know much but what I would say is stay hydrated, eat as well as you can, prepare Source: http://matchphrases.com/images/large/legends3.jpg properly and have fun!! There's a reason that the GSE has a low pass rate, so going in relaxed makes a huge difference. Enjoy the podcast and if you've any questions on the GSE, just shout :)

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
