In the second part of our series, we start the upgrade of our pfSense-based box from IDS to UTM.
In the first part of our series, we see if pfSense can be configured to perform UTM duties.
We'll show you how to get enterprise grade network protection by making your own intrusion detection firewall with pfSense.
Open source innovator and SNORT creator, Sourcefire, Inc., and Insecure.Org, the creator of the Nmap Security Scanner, today announced a licensing agreement for the parties to jointly develop open source vulnerability scanning technology based on the general purpose Nmap Scripting Engine (NSE) embedded within the Nmap network discovery tool.
Under the agreement, Insecure.Org will develop the engine while the Sourcefire Vulnerability Research Team (VRT) will develop and contribute plug-ins for discovering specific vulnerabilities.
On Monday, Sourcefire the company behind the open-source intrusion-detection application Snort said that hackers could potentially execute malicious code on a system running Snort and gain access to confidential data.
The vulnerability was reported to Sourcefire by Internet Security Systems (ISS), the security arm of IBM.
It's harder than you think for that expensive router of yours to deliver all the throughput the big number on its box promises. We show you why.
Trying to decide between a router and a Wi-Fi System? This experiment should help you choose wisely.
Updated: Here's a quick primer on Wi-Fi 6E.
Wi-Fi ping spikes aren't always caused by a poor connection. Your router settings could be to blame.
Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes when Wi-Fi devices roam, or more likely don't? We'll show you why the "seamless" roaming Wi-Fi gear makers promise is still as elusive as a Yeti.
We reveal the secrets of why your devices don't always connect where you want them to and what you can do to fix it.
