That was one of the comments made following my piece in this week’s WIA national news. We better start thinking up a better protocol then if that’s the truth. And we’ve only got 5-10 years to do it apparently, and migrate everyone. The IPng working group started their work in the early 90′s. It took [...]
Hi all, As promised I’ve put up some of the ebuilds needed to use the YubiKey in Gentoo. This includes a PAM module for stand-alone authentication with the YubiKey, which I have patched to support concatenated two-factor authentication. These are in a new overlay: git://git.longlandclan.yi.org/overlays/yubikey.git http://git.longlandclan.yi.org/git/overlays/yubikey.git Stand-alone two factor authentication: Password + YubiKey with YubiPAM [...]
Amongst playing with the YubiKey, I also had a look at DHCPv6. As people well know, IPv4′s days are numbered, and given we’re all going to have to jump across to IPv6 fairly soon, I figured I had better get acquainted with the newer protocols that come with it. I’ve had my network running dual-stack [...]
At linux.conf.au, we all got given a YubiKey each. These are a proprietary one-time-password generator device which plugs into USB and emulates a USB HID keyboard. Full documentation on how the algorithm works is provided by Yubico and they have also provided a lot of software for interfacing to the keys under a quite liberal [...]
Yes, Bloody Microsoft yet again. I want to know to whom do I make my invoice out to. We had a situation with one of my father’s laptops. The DVD drive mysteriously stopped working a week or so ago. Well, it could have been longer, but we noticed this then. The machine is a [...]
Well, I did mention about the spam problem getting worse when we’re stuck with carrier NAT? A bit of amusement as to how desperate they are getting… I have edited the links so that they do not link to the sites that they wanted to advertise. Hi, I left you a DOFOLLOW backlink on my [...]
The following was a news article that I intended to record and have included in this week’s WIA National News service, however I had problems cutting it down to the 1:30 required. So, I’ve put in additional information that there wasn’t time for, and I intend to put in a short piece for next week’s [...]
A thought just occurred to me… With addressing in IPv6, there’s enough addresses to cover every square metre of the earth’s surface with something like 100 addresses or so. Not sure if a standard exists for mapping geographic co-ordinates to addresses, but one just occurred to me that I might try some day. The Maidenhead [...]
Well, I’m not sure where to ask this, I did ask on the netdev mailing list and while I don’t think it’ll get ignored indefinitely, I’m not sure that was the right place. A stab in the dark if you will. In the hope of netting more answers though, I cast this query into the [...]
