Users say: Vyatta at par with Cisco!



I'll tell you something. When the user community starts saying it. You better believe it. It got slashdotted! We already cooked up the Vyatta Virtual Appliance. And it is definitely will be the one I will be using during my trip to Uganda in Nov. There I will be:
  • Organizing workshops
  • Liaising with vendors (VMware, Sun, others)
  • Setting up training labs
  • Advocating the use of Virtualization and setting up a complete enterprise on it!
  • And Vyatta will be our router there!
I will talk more about our trip to Africa. We have been pretty busy with the delegation here. (They are still here) and I've given some trainings/introduction to:

  • VMware's Virtual Infrastructure (Both server side and client side- ACE that is)
  • Open Source technologies (Routers, IPS/IDS, firewalls, ldap, LMS, CRM, CMS..list is endless)
  • WiMAX
Amazing thing was that the folks were truly excited and happy. I'm pretty excited myself as it is really an amazing opportunity to show how we can deliver a low cost yet sophisticated enterprise!

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
