TCP Split Handshake Issue

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 04/14/2011 Editorials

Image via WikipediaTCP Split Handshake Issue those days I’ve read on the news a lot of noise about an NSS test that were reporting a TCP handshake security hole (TCP Split Handshake Issue) in several commercial firewalls. The question is interesting from several points of view: are IPS and firewall really secure? is a vulnerability really a security issue? how does this vulnerability affect me? http://portadiferro.blogspot.com/2011/04/tcp-split-handshake-issue.html Related articles Other Considerations On TCP Split Handshake (paulsparrows.wordpress.com) TCP Split Handshake: Why Cisco ASA is not susceptible (paulsparrows.wordpress.com) TCP Split Handshake: The (Never)ending Story… (paulsparrows.wordpress.com) TCP Split Handshake Attack Explained (paulsparrows.wordpress.com) Hacker ‘handshake’…

Securing IPv6

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 04/11/2011 News From The World

Image via Wikipedia In this post, we’ll talk about some of the things to consider when securing IPv6 compared to IPv4. Before digging into this topic, however, it is important to remember that while IPv6 may have different security concerns than IPv4, it is not necessarily any more secure than IPv4. Furthermore, the post will focus on those aspects that are different or unique to IPv6, since many of the common best practices for IPv4 networks also apply to IPv6 networks.

Rileggo un vecchio post e lo trovo stranamente attuale nonostante l’età (del post, non la mia, maleducati ) il tema della veridicità delle fonti diviene sempre piu pressante nel mondo moderno dove i centri di approvvigionamento delle informazioni sono molteplici. La questione mi è ritornata in mente diverse volte nel recente passato. A cominciare dall’affaire wikileaks per poi passare alle nostrane vicende politiche con ruby e papy ed infine alla recente tragedia giapponese. Wikileaks mostracome le informazioni che spesso vengono presentate la pubblico non siano veritiere, esiste una dfferenza sotanziale, a leggere I cable segreti ripubblicati, tra cio che si…

Image by Getty Images via @daylife Permettetemi lo sfogo notturno. La politica talvolta sembra tutto tranne che la gestione della “res publica”, e in questi giorni la cosa è lampante. Gli ultimi avvenimenti e relative escalation che vanno dal b”unga bunga” all’attuale situazione di contrappsizione tra il governo e la magistratura sono state fonte di interminabile imbarazzo. Purtroppo ho la sfortuna di lavorare con l’estero e relazionarmi con colleghi di tutto il mondo, diventa sempre piu difficile gestirsi quando inziano a partire battute sulla nostra situazione politica. Ammettiamolo all’estero non ci capiscono e non capiscono come gli italiani possano accettare…

Ecco l’ennensimo appello perchè l’Italia, ultima tra gli ultimi, si doti di una agenda digitale. Di cosa si tratta? Di una petizione per chiedere a chi governa il nostro paese di mettere mano ad un progetto di infromatizzazione del che ci faccia uscire dalla arretratezza imbarazzante in cui ci si trova oggi. Credeteci o no l’Italia è realmente uno dei pochi paesi a non averne definita una agenda digitale. http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/cyb/estrat/estrat2010.html accedete al link sopra per controllare chi ha una agenda digitale e chi non la ha, nelle tonalità del verde, le nazioni mondiali con una agenda digitale per lo sviluppo…

Frode Alimentare? Non è piu reato! Banda armata? Idem!

antonio.ierano@ierano.it 01/18/2011 News From The World

E cosa potevamo chiedere di più? Ora capisco che si debba semplificare il delirio normativo italiano, ma con un poco di accortezza certe sviste si sarebbero potute o dovute evitare. Che è successo? è successo che al momento sembra definitiva l’abrogazione della legge 283 del 1962, che puniva le adulterazioni alimentari. Il ministro Calderoli aveva dato disposizione di cancellare 375mila leggi precedenti al 1970, senza eccezioni. Però, proprio per ovviare al rischio di eliminare norme vecchie ma ad oggi ancora valide ed indispensabili, era stato dato mandato all’ufficio tecnico del ministro della Semplificazione, di stilare un elenco di leggi da…
