First Post

Hello World

Ok I felt that my first blog needed to say that... isn't there some unwritten law that all IT people have to say that for their first thing?

My blog about IT stuff, motorcycles.. and anything I feel like posting.

This is more of my public notes to myself then anything else.  I guess Evernote wasn't public enough and Facebook is too public :)

truthfully I started this since it was advised by the study done by DigiNinja since I am interested in computer security and one big piece of advice is to start a blog.  See http://www.digininja.org/projects/breaking_in_part_2.php,
I'm not lying.

Later.

NetBios is finally dead

I'm sure everyone already knew this, but its new to me. Starting with Vista, NetBIOS is officially not recommended! It can be disabled in a Server 2008, windows vista/7 environment. It has been replaced with Link Local Multicast Name Resolution, which is compatible with IPv6, unlike NetBIOS. WINS is also thrown out the window, no pun intended. LLMNR does not use WINS. LLMNR only works on the current broadcast domain, like NetBIOS, but because LLMNR doesn't use WINS, there is no way to use it outside the broadcast domain, which is fine since you should be using DNS for that.

IPv6 Transition

4 different technologies exist to ease the transition from IPv4 to IPv6. Intra-Site Automatic Tunnel Addressing Protocol (ISATAP) : this tunneling protocol is meant for private networks to allow hosts on IPv4 networks to communicate with hosts on IPv6 networks. There must be an ISATAP router between the IPv4 and IPv6 networks, the hosts on the IPV4 network must have the ISATAP interface on their computers. Tunnel works by putting the ipv4 address inside the IPv6 address. 6to4 : Is a protocol intended to be used on the Internet to allow IPv6 clients to access IPv4 Internet resources. There needs to be a 6to4 host on the IPv6 intranet that has their IPv4 routers address embedded in its IPv6 address, a 6to4 router between the IPv6 intranet and the IPv4 Internet resource, there can also be a 6to4 relay to link the IPv4 Internet to the IPv6 Internet so the 6to4 host can also access the IPv6 Internet outside the ipv4 Internet.  6to4 users IP Protocol 41 encapsulation.

BlackBerry Playbook part 1

So my buddy is lending me his blackberry playbook to see if I want to buy it. I managed to dislike it pretty quickly, but then something strange happened after using it a little more... I'm growing to like it.  Since I have a blackberry for work, having the ability to connect it to my phone and read/answer emails while on the bus is great and the tethering feature is very nice too. The physical size and weight is great too... Well maybe a bit heavy but not too much. battery life so far seems good too. I have yet to try out its android app feature, which ultimately will be a big selling point for me. I'm typing this blog post on the bus while tethered to my BB, reading emails and watching the recent Hak5 episode I downloaded at home using the builtin podcast app.  One nice feature is being able to swipe through my running programs and it automatically pauses the video while I type this.
