Port mirroring on a strategically positioned switch can be the best setup for an IDS sensor. If that’s not an option, RouterOS-based MikroTik devices support […]
Among this summer’s projects was getting an underwater camera online and streaming. The camera is placed within a fishing device designed like a cage, called Kjærra, dating back to the 14th century. The trap has a one-way entry; the fish enters the cage and can’t escape, and is subsequently extracted from the cage. When the […]

Add the following to /etc/config/system: log_ip 10.20.30.40 Reboot your unit and watch the logs roll in. Verify by checking what syslog is up to: root@OpenWRT:~# ps -ef | grep syslog […]
I’ve been planning to do this for a long time and now I’m finally there. My home network now consists of two virtual host servers (one Xen and one KVM) and a firewall between them, all nodes understanding VLANs. On top of this, add a small but powerful Linksys switch and a Linksys wireless access […]
