And if the CIA is connected to your Alexa? http://www.wimp.com/alexa-are-you-connected-to-the-cia/

@"[Deleted User]" Here's one for you, when the network is falsely accused of being the problem. On a cold network morning, in a data center far away There sits an old gray admin, who could never have his say He runs the same old network, he sees the same old graphs And when the drive-by's hit him hard, he's often heard to…

It's nice to see law enforcement closing sites that sell private information without permission. It's unfortunate it took so long to do it. Now, how about all the other illegal sites?

It's VERY nice to learn at least one real cost saving for doing the job of patching & securing properly. Don't do it and incidents costs twice as much, on average. It's a no-brainer, right? Except--the cost of a failure probably doesn't include the intangibles that keep on costing--like having a negative story in the news…

Of the suggestions you made, I'm most interested in: * The "craziest tasks" quiz and a comparison of our environments taken from that light * The Interactive Infographic. I could also see a contest for submissions about our most "ambitious" problem users--the "early adopters" and technology "advocates" that can cause major…

Ah, the "young" are better able to discern between fact and opinion? Excellent! I believe in the study that "younger" is used, not "young", right? It's relative to those surveyed who are over 49 years? All instances of the word are "younger", and none are "young". As an apparently "older" person, I can accept that. How…

I'm so involved in business that I never think of the military as an employer, although of course it is! But . . . it's a little bit different than what I usually imagine as an employer. There's no military job of which I'm aware that is just working 8x5 with ten weeks of PTO. As soon as I think "military", all other…

And like that, it's gone without even a whimper . . .

Yep, did it earlier this week (yesterday--wow, what a long time ago THAT was!).

Skype providing unauthorized access to your phone's info. Huh. Who'd've imagined. The young man credited with discovering & reporting this security flaw is to be commended. But it seems he's already in search of kudos.

I find irony, but no surprise, in that department being at risk. It seemed to be created without proper design, planning, funding, implementation, and recurring review. I blame that on the people and their representatives. Seeing a problem is one thing. Reacting to it appropriately is another one, which might be far more…

With increases in costs (losses to companies, profits to criminals) like these: One would not be surprised to learn countries, corporations, groups, and individuals would turn to creating and distributing ransomware to "get rich quick". Our leaders, adults, companies, religions, groups, and parents do a disservice to the…

My thought is that there's nothing I'm aware of (and I'm unaware of LOADS of things!) that you'd want to monitor that operates SOLELY via ICMP. And if a devices uses something BESIDES ICMP, then it probably uses at least one TCP port that NetPath can use. Setting up NetPath to use that port will accomplish whatever anyone…

I'm looking for a way to tweak "Independent Hardware Sensor Management" so I can consider disabling certain alerting to NPM 12 by Cisco's bias sensor errors. Would someone kindly point me to the page or online documentation that describes where and how to accomplish this?

Netflix Failover? Imagine designing and implementing a regional Netflix failover, and basing some of it on auto provisioning resources based on CPU use threshold. Then removing some capacity when CPU utilization decreases. Very cool. This is the wheel we won’t have to re-invent if/when we go for true DR that’s regionally…

Have always appreciated the Tool Set, and it's only better today. However, I learned the tools Pre-Launch-Pad, and that's the way I use them most often. It lets me avoid a step or two, and cut straight to the actual tool I need for the job. Don't get me wrong--the Launch Pad's great. I just cut my teeth without it, and…

I saw this: And I started wondering--how does one "calculate" network response time? My tools measure it, but if one needed to calculate network response time, how would one proceed? Measuring physical distance and media types? "A particular packets travels 350 miles round trip via fiber and two miles via copper. It passes…

As with SO MANY THINGS, scaling is the challenge. Back in 1995 when I was the only guy on a T1, the Internet FLEW! 14,000 added users later . . . scale negatively impacted that pipe, and it had to grow dramatically. When you believe MS's claim about saving millions of dollars per year by moving from internal servers and MS…

That would totally work. I fear no one will follow through with companies that offer the products consumers want, at lower price points. As a result, I foresee a day when local brick & mortar stores that sell products instead of services will go away, except in the case of where a large online store uses brick & mortar…

I can't disagree with your logic. Here's hoping my suggestions could possibly get you results today instead of waiting months or years for SW to change their solution.

I enjoyed and appreciated the article on Python. Thank you for sharing it. And EVERYTHING should have a higher search rate than the Kardashians (unless, perhaps, you are one).

I'll amend my earlier statement. We don't block ALL ICMP, but we DO specifically define allowed sources & destinations for flows passing through the firewalls.

muwale How did the Lotus migration go? With 50K accounts, I don't see us migrating unless there were a HUGE benefit AND cost saving. What were the biggest savings and benefits?

You're right. How long will it be before DNA is required to make a reservation or validate a contract or get a driver's license? And then that DNA info will be encoded / digitally scanned and stored many places. And those places will become targets for information theft. And soon, without your permission, your DNA has been…

Phishing, no matter COVID-19 related or not . . . recognize it and treat it appropriately.

There are a couple of groups who cold-call me on the land line at home soliciting funds for local firefighters or sheriffs associations. Talk about a quandary! Are these valid? Are they scams? Are they trying to prey on my guilt and make me worry "If I don't send money, will the firemen take their time getting to my house,…

I agree--common sense and safety should come first. My state (Minnesota) deals with the issue plainly: Is It Legal To Wear Earbuds And Drive In Minnesota? | Richfield, MN Patch Where ear buds or head phones are not explicitly denied by law, states have successfully prosecuted users for various flavors of careless or…

Our ASA's are doing great with NTA in 2016. It's surprising what you can learn with NTA about flows that may validate or refute your understanding of what's really going on.

Learned from this, implemented it, reaped the praise from my team. I had to admit I saw it here first. Thanks!
