On the Rise  

The technical programming language Julia is fast becoming a favorite with scientists and engineers of all stripes, but it is also well suited to form the backbone of interactive websites that explain these science and engineering concepts.

Choose Your Armor  

The tools used in attack surface management help identify attack surfaces more precisely and respond to changes in risk situations.

Put Through Their Paces  

We look at one Windows on-board tool, five free tools, and a commercial tool to discover hardware installed on a Windows computer and determine whether it is still working properly.

Safety Dance  

The Purdue Model maps the challenges of networking industrial systems to five levels, helping to target and mitigate risk and address vulnerabilities. We look at the Purdue Model in detail, investigate an implementation tool, and explain the role of zero trust.

Tailor Made  

Massive, performance-hungry VMs require proper handling to meet their dynamic requirements. We give you some rules to help size these monsters properly.

Exodus  

Nothing is forever, not even a Git server. After the purchase of GitHub by Microsoft, I found a new home in Gitea for version control.

Across the Block  

The iSCSI protocol lets you access block storage across a network connection. We show you how to connect a Debian 12 system with a Synology storage device over iSCSI.

Go-Between  

Use OpenTofu and cloud-init to deploy virtual machines in a Proxmox hypervisor and populate them automatically with services.

Strong Defense  

The sum total of all possible points of attack can be defined as the attack surface, and you need to take every opportunity to minimize it to the extent possible. Windows has built-in rules that minimize the attack surface; they simply need to be enabled.

Detection  

If an attacker gains access to systems by working around your defenses, you need to discover the attacker's tracks in good time, at least to mitigate the further risk of damage. We show you how to monitor changes to files with the Linux AIDE tool.
