How to turn on your lights the Philips way

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/06/23

This was too funny to let go unnoticed: [WayBack] How to turn on the light at home, Philips Version – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+.

It was shown during [Archive.is] Google Cloud Next 2017 in Amsterdam and immediately reminded me of The Big Bang Theory – How to turn on a lamp below.

A few notable entries from the comments:

  • Wie viele Server braucht man bei Philips, um eine Glühbirne zu wechseln?
  • Apple macht das wohl ähnlich, hier dient ein AppleTV oder ein iPad als “Bridge zur Bridge”.
  • They’re at least honest — the icon of the cloud in the upper left prominently displays a “waiting” circle animation. I also notice the use of the word “looks” rather than “works” in the title, which is probably also accurate.

For my blog archive as I already shared it on G+

[WayBack] With so many vulnerabilities out there, here is how to find out of if a fixed is applied to vulnerabilities on Debian/Ubuntu Linux using CVE. – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+

[WayBack] Debian/Ubuntu Linux: Find If Installed APT Package Includes a Fix/Patch Via CVE Number – nixCraft

Explains how to view the changelog of an installed package on a Debian or Ubuntu Linux server to find out if a fix/patch applied via CVE number.

Hans Wolters:
And find all packages that belong to one cve :-)

zgrep -i cve /usr/share/doc/*/changelog.Debian.gz|grep 1000364

The Bogon Reference – Team Cymru

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/06/23

WHAT IS A BOGON, AND WHY SHOULD I FILTER IT?

A bogon prefix is a route that should never appear in the Internet routing table. A packet routed over the public Internet (not including over VPNs or other tunnels) should never have a source address in a bogon range. These are commonly found as the source addresses of DDoS attacks.

Source: The Bogon Reference – Team Cymru

The regular Bogon list is pretty static (last change in 2012), so I’ve listed the text version below. But the full Bogon list (including unused IPv4 space) is dynamic.

0.0.0.0/8
10.0.0.0/8
100.64.0.0/10
127.0.0.0/8
169.254.0.0/16
172.16.0.0/12
192.0.0.0/24
192.0.2.0/24
192.168.0.0/16
198.18.0.0/15
198.51.100.0/24
203.0.113.0/24
224.0.0.0/4
240.0.0.0/4
