Intensified « 2/2 « A weblog about wireless, security and geekdomIntensified

30Aug/110

After a year of "turning a wrench" in the Accuvant Service Delivery side I am back to Portland and back in a Solutions Engineer job. I took a social networking/blog hiatus to attend to some family and health stuff. My focus is still Information Security, I'm lucky enough to be working on the whole gambit now though. Everything to do with security! DLP, IPS, WAF, you name it! I had a very similar spot at both AT&T Wireless and Verizon Wireless. I have the time to keep Intensified updated, the gear to have something to write about and am building the lab to thoroughly test every solution before I post about it.

I'm working on a couple of my other passions again. My 1947 AMI Model C jukebox being a big one. I have the parts laying around to really get it into shape and playing 78s again! I will also be working on investigating the security of my medical implant. I've made some real progress, so keep an eye here for updates. Another one is home automation and surveilance. I can't poke holes in the walls at my current place, which is great! Really challenging me to eat my own dog food...or "drink my own champaigne" as we said it at the above carriers.

Keep an eye on my twitter @bionicrocky and post to challenge me on my findings!

Wireless Field Day 1

Posted by BionicRocky

I am lucky enough to be a delegate at the Wireless Field Day in San Jose this week hosted by Gestalt IT. We are seeing presentations from Cisco, HP, Aerohive, Metageeks, and Fluke. This is a great opportunity to be with the best folks the Wireless industry has to offer. 3D social networking as well as great information from the vendors.

Our gracious host, the classiest man in IT, Stephen Foskett:

The Wrap up:

Day 1:
Metageek: After a night of networking, belly dancing and great food, the fine folks at MetaGeek have given us their entire suite of products, including new WiSpy DBXs! Great way to start the week! From the humble beginnings of Ryan Woodings, Chief Geek and founder hacking the firmware of a mouse dongle, to one of the best, most affordable spectrum analyzers on the market.

Their device finder was actually used to find a surveillance camera and solve a murder! What a great company and product.

Cisco: The building is not actually teal. We are in the famous (from every screenshot for Cisco wireless gear) building 14. A lot of review and of wireless basics started the session. Now getting into the silicon level and the CleanAir ASIC istelf. It contains 4 separate components. The CPU, the SAGE, the WiFi chipset and a DSP for quantifying the interference type. Cisco speak is that having these as seperate components on dye, they get more granular detail.

Microsoft offers a sandbox!

Posted by BionicRocky

If you wondered Microsoft's stand on Virtualization and early access to new products, wonder no longer. It looks like MS is giving virtualized access to it's new wares, by way of the "Proof of Concept Jumpstart Kit (version 1.0)". It is just that, from the looks, a sandbox of new MS goodness for your playing enjoyment. Redmond Report has a full write up here. Or better yet, grab it yourself here and comment on it below!
