This episode has Andrew Cox, Justin Wilson and Myself(Greg Sowell). JJ was celebrating his 8th anniversary so was unavailable…obviously he has his priorities out of order.
We discuss what we use to monitor our equipment, what we use to backup and thoughts on training.
We talk loosely about WISP security, bonding multiple connections across the internet, and Ubiquiti open lower frequency channels.
Talking points for the security section:
Securing border router
+ Router itself
+ • Disable unused services. Lock down administrative access. Put reflexive rules in place.
+ Access to publicly addressed assets inside
+ • Block external admin access. Put reflexive rules in place.
Securing towers
+ Protect from clients
+ • Towers should already be protected from outside access. Disable unused services. Lock down administrative access. Prevent clients from communication through tower.
+ • Encrypt backhauls. Potential impact to Aps should be pretty low.
Securing clients
+ Protect from clients.
+ • Disable unused services. Lock down administrative access.
+ • Encrypt to clients. Why not?
Securing administrative machines
+ Protect dude server
+ • Don’t install on local machine. Keep it secured on a machine you don’t surf the web from.
+ Protect admin machines
+ • Attempt to keep your work machine as clean as possible. Don’t be the source of the problem.
We were trying a new application called VodBurner and I had LOTS of trouble with it. It would work a little, then wouldn’t…lots of crashes. In the end it dropped the video from JJ and Justin…sorry guys.
As always, let us know about any questions, comments or topics you want to hear about.
