In today’s modern network security landscape, protecting your organization’s resources requires more than just securing IP addresses. The key to a robust and adaptive security strategy is integrating user identity (User-ID) with your firewall. Palo Alto Networks offers a powerful and flexible User-ID feature, allowing you to associate network traffic with user identities, rather than relying...

This blog post will guide you through the necessary steps to copy configurations from a PA-820 to a...

In networking, switches play a critical role in connecting devices and managing network traffic within a local area network (LAN). When you deploy a new switch, it's important to configure it properly to ensure optimal performance, security, and functionality. This guide will walk you through the essential steps for setting up a base configuration for a network switch.

In modern network environments, providing seamless communication and service discovery for Apple devices is essential. Bonjour, Apple’s zero-configuration networking protocol, is widely used for device discovery, resource sharing, and communication in local area networks (LAN). It allows devices such as printers, cameras, speakers, and computers to automatically detect and connect to each other...

As you saw in a previous post, DHCP Hacking Made Easy, poorly configured networks can serve as an attack vector for “The Attacker”. In this entry, we continue this exploration with another dead simple attack on the network, ARP spoofing. ARP is the protocol responsible for informing hosts within a given LAN, which IP addresses belong to which MAC addresses. What happens when we provide bad...

Poorly configured networks are vulnerable to many attacks. Easy attacks. In this blog we will demonstrate how easy it is to perform a DoS attack on a DHCP scope. Afterwards, we will remediate our poorly configured network devices with a security feature that you should include on every deployment to protect against this type of attack.

Today we are talking about 802.1X, like authenticating a device coming into a conference room.What is 802.1X ? In simple terms, it is an authentication mechanism that we leverage.
