TacAck – My security journey!

Ah, feels great to be blogging again! Couldn’t wait for this. I’ve a couple of things planned out for today :

• I spent some time in the morning, making a little video about Google WAVE and how i use it for effective communication and collaboration during my practice labs. I’ve found it to be a very very useful tool and i would urge you to give it a try . Here’s the little video i made .
• Please feel free to comment/mail me regarding any questions on how to effectively lab using Google WAVE.
• For the rest of the day, i want to focus on some aspects of VPNs which have been troubling me for a long time. They are as follows:
  • EZVPN
    • Group Locking.
    • Authorization and XAUTH using ACS
    • Certificate based authentication between the VPN client and the EZVPN server
    • Try this on both IOS and the ASA
  • ANYCONNECT VPN
    • Iron-out some of the doubts that i have regarding these.
    • I had a couple of people asking me some doubts regarding this, so i’ll try and document my efforts as best as possible
    • Try this on both IOS and the ASA
  • CONTROL PLANE SECURITY
    • I want to revise and study some of the stuff that i’ve already done and hopefully post some interesting stuff that i found here.

You can catch you on the WAVE most of the time, if i’m not there, either Ryan ( www.routsec.com) or Paul ( www. packetu.com) will be there and they’re super helpful guys

I’ll update this post again this evening.

Cheers,

TacACK
