Whoops I guess I wasn't clear enough. I am not looking for hosting services, I am looking for a cabinet that I can install in my own server room to protect my machines from prying fingers and other illegal access. This cabinet needs to have vault like qualities and not just be some glass and metal thrown together. Maybe something like two key opening procedures, etc. Thanks, Andrew -- <zerocool(a)netpath.net>

Corporate PGP for network operators
by Sean Donelan 19 Aug '02

19 Aug '02

Ok, extremely dumb question. But I'm sure lots of other people have already solved this one. Network operators have been using various PGPs to exchange confidential information for many years. I have my own personal PGP key for my own use and a nice Unix box of my own. There are licensed versions, freeware versions, guerilla versions, and so forth. NAI is no longer selling a commercial version of PGP Desktop for Microsoft Windows/NT. Phil Zimmerman points people to the OpenPGP alliance http://openpgp.org/members/ What do commercial network operators, who are required to use Microsoft, use for business PGP mail besides NAI? I.E. if we need to exchange PGP mail, what package is least likely to crash Outlook and Windows.

Ethereal - free, and decent. Shomiti Surveyor - expensive, requires special hardware for line rate (and excess) traffic generation, and difficult as could be to use. But very powerful. Basically, it depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to analyze what's going on on the LAN, I see nothing wrong with Ethereal/tcpdump/<insert free package here>. But for actual testing, you need Surveyor or something similar.

Secure Cabinets

Hey everyone, I know this is slightly off topic but I'm hoping that someone from Verisign or the like will respond. I am looking for a VERY secure computer cabinet to replace an open rack I have now. I'm looking for almost vault like qualities. Is anyone willing to make recommendations on a vendor? Thanks, Andrew -- <zerocool(a)netpath.net>

That seems to be the closest to a complete db, but I noticed it doesn't necessarily have the same info as ARIN. For example ARIN's listing for 1239 has a lot more details than the RADB entry. >From the responses so far, it seems that it is necessary in some cases to query ARIN, RIPE, and APNIC to find the info you are looking for.

RE: Major Labels v. Backbones

> The thing that I find most disturbing with this latest approach to > enforcement by the RIAA is that they have targeted backbone providers > who probably don't have any business or other relationship with the > parties that are alleged to be infringing the RIAA's rights. Just as I believe that the problem lies in the indiscriminate ignorance with which Internet and intellectual property laws are being crafted. It is unfortunate that there is such a great lack of judiciary knowledge and an over abundance of ambitious lawmakers seeking to immortalize themselves by fabricating ludicrous laws (I consider Dingell to be their unofficial poster child). Although these laws seem to threaten the vitality of network service providers, there seems to be little resistance or lobbying that is necessary to prevent them in the first place. In my opinion, the RIAA is not unlike a predator that has acquired an insatiable appetite; it needs to be placed on a very short leash. The RIAA is one of the few organizations that have etched out a policy that is overtly alienating the very consumers its members need to survive. > Sorry, I don't mean to pick on Worldcom here, the same could be said > for any of the backbone providers that have been targeted. And, > perhaps, since several backbone providers have all been targeted, > they will work together to put up a rigorous fight on behalf of us > all. I sure hope so. The RIAA is clearly attempting to take advantage of all carriers plagued by the current financial and market conditions. With the lack of adequate attention (or representation for that matter), the odds are more in their favor to establish a precedent that can then be used to terrorize everyone else. Every time I hear the RIAA, or anyone else for that matter, make a reference to the DMCA my blood curls. -Ben
