MadMACs Ver. 1.2: Update to my MAC address and host name changer / randomizer / spoofer

2008-08-07 00:13:25 by Editor in Irongeek's Security Site

To fix this, I've updated the code to do some sanity checks on the possible hostnames given to it in dic.txt. Hopefully this fixes the...

A rose by any other name

2008-02-21 00:10:25 by HASH0x8473364 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
Mike Fratto had an interesting blog up today about Steve Hanna having submitted in essence the TCG/TNC specifications to the NEA working group for consideration as working group documents.

Tropos gets a win here because their equipment will continue to be used as the Wi-Fi network is upgraded. As I noted yesterday, NAC's plan (elaborated in this press release) is to rely on well-understood business services that are...
