The Belgian SIEM… wounds my heart with a monotonous languor!
Lot of Belgian newspapers and sites reported today (Example of  article – in French) that a project of law will be discussed soon (deriving from the EU Data Retention Directive) to request providers of telecommunications (Internet – Mobile services) to keep a trace of electronic communications.

Use the Ports, Luke!
Last week, I went to London to attend the RSA Conference Europe (my wrap up is here). One of the sessions I followed was presented by Eric Vyncke about “forensics in a post IPv4 exhaustion“. You should live on another planet if you’re not aware of the coming IPv4 exhaustion.

Is BGP the Next Threat on Internet?
When Internet ARPAnet was invented in the seventies, its goal was to interconnect military resources using packets based networks and to be strong enough to resist to “attacks”. Loosing some devices in the network could not affect the communications. Later, the same technology was re-used to build the public network
