I'm coming to VMworld 2008 in France, what about you?

I'll be meeting all the folks out there. They are too much to name here but I'll mention them to you by category: Virtualization vendors, security, drp, chargeback, tooling..well that covers them all.

I'd love to meet you too, so do please let me know and we'll have a beer at the end of the day ;-)

  1. I'll be heading for Cannes too in two weeks. Looking forward to the new "refurbished" Event and I am also curious how different it will be from TSX last year in Nice.

  3. I spoke to Richard (the guy who organized the TSX) last night and it is going to be a bit heavier, so I understood. Well Diane and/or Mendel will do a keynote, I'll miss that one as I'm meeting my new CEO (AtosOrigin) that afternoon before flying over to Cannes.

    The most important to me is to meet peers, like yourselves, and other participants. I have a lot of friends within security circles, VCs (who want to get it straight about this virtualization hype and invest wisely).

    Anthony: We'll find one, if not , we'll hijack one and place it in the middle of the conference ;-)

    Tom: Nope, not yet.

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!
