Securetek on our radar

Upon clicking the Products and Services, we don't see much, apparently the site is being upgraded.

SecureTek Group Inc. is a fast growing, privately held company that was established in May 2005 in San Antonio, Texas. The main business focus is the provision of Information Technology (IT) "virtualization" products, consulting resources, skills, and consulting services to the Government Market. The company has been at the forefront in delivering effective tactical technology that follows Government IT service mandates to cut IT spending by developing effective and efficient technology in the military. SecureTek Group has achieved growth under the direction of the management team, led by our Board Chairman and President, Mr. Keith Green.

SecureTek Group developed its business goals around service to government clients. Recognizing escalating hardware costs, issues with platform selection, and security and patch issues, SecureTek Group developed a virtualization and consolidation solution called Tech Pak that could be configured and loaded as necessary to support mobile computing needs. The Company's matrixed organization allows for flexibility to rapidly customize Tech Paks to satisfy military requirements at a competitive price.


They apparently also struck a deal with Westar.

Quoting the press release:

Under the agreement, SecureTek will leverage Westar’s expertise in system engineering, software solutions, logistics information management, and IT technical services to support customers who use its enterprise hardware products and systems.

SecureTek will provide customers with its Tech-Pak solutions, which are scalable, manageable, deployable and available at a fraction of current infrastructure costs. Self-contained, Tech-Pak platforms can operate from the controlled environment of a data center, or be transported and quickly assembled in the most remote locations.

“Westar has a history of identifying promising technologies that can help our customers reduce operation and support costs, increase efficiencies and improve readiness. We think SecureTek has the potential to deliver dramatic improvements in these areas as well,” said Westar President Garrett Martz.

SecureTek solutions have been installed in both CONUS and OCONUS locations in support of warfighter integration and training requirements.

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!
