Using Mondorescue to P2V old versions of Linux - Part 1 Backup and Recovery to same host
We have recently had a situation where a client had a number of very very old linux boxes. Some of these servers were pushing 10 years old
A lot of these systems are only online for historical or political reasons so the quickest (not necessarily the best) way to reduce the hardware risk was to P2V them. As we were already using Mondo to back these up its fairly straightforward to use Mondo as a P2v Tool.
NB These are fairly rough and ready articles and there will be one for each version on linux we used.
DSD Releases 2012 Information Security Manual
The DSD has released the 2012 update to the Information Security Manual.
The document has now been broken up into multiple volumes and includes a much more friendly and useful exec summary document, and a much cleaner layout for the principals and control documents. For non-techos the exec summary document provides a good grounding in the issues and Australian conditions. Well worth a read if you are attempting to "sell" information security to government or related agencies.
Why is VPN so hard between Cisco and Juniper?
Many times have I seen engineers frustrated with getting a VPN tunnel between a Cisco and Juniper device. Often it is the Juniper side which is left to resolve the problem because the Cisco guy has never had a problem before, It should just work!!
All very nice however not all VPN devices are created equal. Know your device!
Let's take two security devices: Juniper SRX and a Cisco ASA
The ASA has one method for IPsec which is cryptomap. If we decode this into an easier to understand term it means Policy based VPN.
The Juniper SRX has two methods:
- Policy based VPN
- Route based VPN
