Time Management

One of the things at #WISPAPALOOZA2018 I kept hearing was “I don’t have the time”.  Randy Pauusch gives a talk on time management.  Why pay attention to this video? Randy Pausch was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and he was working against this when giving this talk.  He only had a limited time to live and became an expert on time management because he had to.

NIST releases second draft of “Guidelines for the Selection, Configuration, and Use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) Implementations.”

From an e-mail the folks at nist sent out.

NIST has released a second draft of NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-52 Revision 2,Guidelines for the Selection, Configuration, and Use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) Implementations. It provides guidance for selecting and configuring TLS protocol implementations that utilize NIST-recommended cryptographic algorithms and Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). The document requires that government TLS servers and clients support TLS 1.2 configured with FIPS-based cipher suites, and recommends that agencies develop migration plans to support TLS 1.3 by January 1, 2024.

A public comment period for this document is open until November 16, 2018.

Guest Article: Can my router catch a virus?

Our friends over at TechWarn have their take on routers vulnerable to virus attacks

https://www.expressvpn.com/blog/can-my-router-catch-a-virus/

Big price differences between routers are often confusing to consumers as, unlike with personal computers, the quality difference is not always obvious. As routers are normally tied to a physical location, it is also rather difficult to test their reliability in different environments, unlike with highly mobile laptops or smartphones.

Routers often do not receive updates, or updates have to be manually downloaded and applied — a cumbersome process that is not an attractive option to many non-tech-savvy users.

Routers are desirable targets for attackers as they sit at a very sensitive spot on a network — right at the edge. They are a centralized point and connected to every single device in the network. Routers read all of the data that each device sends to the Internet, and if these connections are unencrypted, the router could easily inject malicious scripts and links.
