World IPv6 Launch, as it is being called, is this year’s Internet Society IPv6 initiative meant to provide more IPv6 content saturation on the Internet. Similar to World IPv6 Day last June, but with one very key difference: they will be IPv6-enabled permanently! That’s right, no more white lists, no more ipv6.www, v6.www, or other silly CNAMEs representing …
We did not come to this decision lightly. As is the case with many websites, we make a living from visits to our website. We could lose prospective clients, but that is why this is so important. A few weeks ago, I wrote about why it is so important to fight against the current legislation …

Bravo to Fernando Gont for getting out a great Internet Draft (soon-to-be RFC) on the Implementation Advice on IPv6 Router Advertisement (RA) Guard. This has been one of the open, gaping wounds in the side of IPv6 enterprise deployment for years. In fact, many of us in the IPv6 and IPv6 security fields love to …
I’m sure everyone has heard the headlines about the U.S. House of Representatives’ bill HR-3261 Stop online Piracy Act and the Senate Bill equivalent; Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act of 2011 (PROTECT IP).

On 8 June 2011, over 400 organizations from around the world participated in a global IPv6 functionality test. The question is what did we learn? What did we gain?

Tomorrow, at 8:00 pm (12:00 am GMT), World IPv6 Day begins. Here’s what to expect: All of your favorite websites should still be accessible (Google, Facebook, Yahoo, etc) If you are so inclined to sniff your traffic you should see a huge explosion of IPv6 on your network. If you don’t see this, then maybe …
Based on today’s newest attack on Lockheed-Martin (and possibly many others) using RSA’s stolen SecurID tokens to gain access, it seems as if RSA (ironically a cyber security solutions provider) is now the newest and easiest attack vector. The details are really unknown right now, but if I were a betting man, I would bet …
Are you ready for IPv6 yet? Well, the rest of the world is having a large distributed test event called World IPv6 Day on 8 June 2011.
