Cisco Vs Juniper

I have found the following article at pcworld.com and thought about sharing with you. Its a good overall comparison between Cisco and Juniper, the two biggest players in the networking arena. It’s been an ongoing debate for much of the last 14 years – Cisco or Juniper? Increasingly, that argument will hinge on which router […]

Forwarding a DHCP Request using Cisco ip helper-address command

DHCP, as we all know, is a broadcast protocol (shame on you if you don’t know that already :) !!) which normally works only on the same Layer 2 broadcast domain. Does this mean that you need to have your DHCP Server connected to the same network subnet as the DHCP clients? If this was […]

Cisco ACE Web Application Firewall Appliance

I was reading a security statistics report the other day and it seems that web vulnerabilities take up the majority of the pie. SQL injections, Cross Site Scripting, Code injections etc are found everywhere in web applications. Unfortunately secure coding (not only for HTML but for any software application) is not yet widely adopted, so […]

Cisco IOS jumps from version 12 to version 15

The latest Cisco IOS version was 12.4 until recently when Cisco IOS version 15.0 was introduced. Have you noticed the jump from version 12 to 15? Do you wonder why versions 13 and 14 were skipped? Well, rumors say that Cisco avoided those version numbers because 13 is considered unlucky in the Western Culture and […]

Cisco announced a new security appliance model, the SA500 series, which is focused for the small business market. Cisco tried to fill the gap of the UTM (Unified Threat Management) appliance market in which other competitors (such as Fortinet, Checkpoint etc) were already ahead. Following the philosophy of the UTM appliance, the SA500 offers an […]

BlackHat 2009 Router Exploitation Presentation

I was reading an interesting presentation the other day, taken from BlackHat USA 2009 Briefings from Felix Lindner, and thought about sharing the main points here. The guy presents a reasonable analysis of the current situation regarding Router security and exploitation. As we all know, routers are exploitable of course, but not as easy as […]

User Authentication for Web Server Access on Cisco ASA Firewall

Imagine the following scenario: We have a web server on a DMZ protected by a Cisco ASA 5500 firewall. We would like to allow external Internet users to access this web server only after they successfully authenticate with a username/password credential. Maybe this scenario could be applicable in situations where we need to allow employees […]

Passing non-IP Traffic over IPSEC VPN using GRE over IPSEC

IPSEC VPN is a great technology for encrypting and securing communications between networks (used also in VPN software clients as well). The only drawback is that IPSEC supports ONLY pure IP unicast traffic and nothing else. If you want to securely pass multicast or non-IP traffic between sites then IPSEC alone will not work. Fortunately Cisco […]
