DNS privacy vs… by Mallory Knodel

DNS privacy has become an increasingly important topic for online security and privacy. As the use of the Internet continues to grow, so does the amount of personal data being transmitted and collected through various online services.

If Code Is Law, Then Protocols Are Good Manners That Help Us Get Along by Constance Bommelaer de Leusse 

... What are protocols and why are they important? Our online world is built on layers of networking protocols, complex sets of technical instructions and understandings about how to exchange information. The fundamental protocols that created the Internet and still make it work today are called the Internet Protocol and Transmission Control Protocol, or TCP/IP. These and other essential protocols are constantly updated by open standards bodies such as the IETF and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). To do their job well, protocols need to serve the communities that use them. Protocols are iterated over time by the communities that use them. Without constant improvement and updating—and the development of complementary protocols to do related tasks—protocols stop being useful.

ChatGPT is about to revolutionize cybersecurity

Unless you purposely avoid social media or the internet completely, you’ve likely heard about a new AI model called ChatGPT, which is currently open to the public for testing. This allows cybersecurity professionals like me to see how it might be useful to our industry.

Cybersecurity faces a challenge from artificial intelligence’s rise: While defenders have been winning more battles, the availability of AI tools threatens that progress

Earlier this year, a sales director in India for tech security firm Zscaler got a call that seemed to be from the company’s chief executive. As his cellphone displayed founder Jay Chaudhry’s picture, a familiar voice said “Hi, it’s Jay. I need you to do something for me,” before the call dropped. A follow-up text over WhatsApp explained why. “I think I’m having poor network coverage as I am traveling at the moment. Is it okay to text here in the meantime?”

Privacy and networking: Part 2 — Legal and ethical privacy

Given the arguments from the first article in this series, if privacy should be and is essential — what does the average network engineer do with this information? How does privacy impact network design and operations? To answer this question, we need to look at two other questions.

BGP route leak prevention and detection with the help of RFC 9234

Route leaks can be accidental or malicious but most often they arise from accidental misconfiguration. By creating a route leak, the leaker becomes a link between different regions without obtaining income, but the main problem is not even the lost profit.

Justice Department Announces Court-Authorized Disruption of Snake Malware Network Controlled by Russia’s Federal Security Service

The Justice Department today announced the completion of a court-authorized operation, code-named MEDUSA, to disrupt a global peer-to-peer network of computers compromised by sophisticated malware, called “Snake”, that the U.S. Government attributes to a unit within Center 16 of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB). For nearly 20 years, this unit, referred to in court documents as “Turla,” has used versions of the Snake malware to steal sensitive documents from hundreds of computer systems in at least 50 countries, which have belonged to North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) member governments, journalists, and other targets of interest to the Russian Federation. After stealing these documents, Turla exfiltrated them through a covert network of unwitting Snake-compromised computers in the United States and around the world.

us: The Attack on Colonial Pipeline: What We’ve Learned & What We’ve Done Over the Past Two Years

Today marks two years since a watershed moment in the short but turbulent history of cybersecurity. On May 7, 2021, a ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline captured headlines around the world with pictures of snaking lines of cars at gas stations across the eastern seaboard and panicked Americans filling bags with fuel, fearful of not being able to get to work or get their kids to school. This was the moment when the vulnerability of our highly connected society became a nationwide reality and a kitchen table issue.

At our Mobility Competence Group meeting,“Urban Mobility – Interaction of IoT and Mobility for the Implementation of Mobility Solutions”, eco entered into discussion with various experts from the mobility and IoT environment on the topics of data generation, data usage, data management and data policy. Together with our host, WOBCOM in Wolfsburg, and our CG Mobility Leader Giovanni Coppa, we arrived at exciting content and a highly productive CG meeting. A clear picture emerged of just how indispensable data usage is for mobility solutions in all areas. Various use cases were discussed, such as on smart parking, which plays an important role in the context of smart cities in order to minimise search for parking spaces in these cities. There were also exciting insights into the area of rescue mobility, not to mention the potential for data spaces and the shared use of (mobility) data.

The Internet Twenty-Five Years Later by Geoff Huston

... The second initiative, which for me is a fundamental change in transport capabilities and functions, is the introduction of the QUIC protocol. At its simplest level you could say QUIC is a packaging of the combination TCP and TLS into a UDP wrapping. However, I would suggest that such a description is well short of the mark.

The Internet as a public utility by Geoff Huston

I recently attended a workshop on the topic of Lessons Learned from 40+ Years of the Internet, and the topic of the Internet as a public utility in the context of national regulatory frameworks came up. For me, 40 years is just enough time to try and phrase an answer to the big policy question — has the Internet been a success in the experiment of using market forces to act as an efficient distributor of public goods? Or has it raised more issues than it has addressed?
