DNSFS. Store your files in others DNS resolver cache s

A while ago I did a blog post about how long DNS resolvers hold results in cache for, using RIPE Atlas probes testing against their default resolvers (in a lot of cases, the DNS cache on their modem/router).

Unauthenticated LAN remote code execution in AsusWRT

However due to a number of coding errors, it is possible for an unauthenticated attacker in the LAN to achieve remote code execution in the router as the root user.

AI is moving towards acceptance in cyber security, says Check Point

Artificial intelligence (AI) is making headway in the security industry as a means to better analyse mountains of information, but will not be widely adopted in the short term because of a lack of actionable data and human expertise, according to security services supplier Check Point.

Alphabet is launching a new CyberSecurity unit.

Alphabet, the parent company of Google, announced today that they will be launching Chronicle, a new business unit that will focus on Cyber Security, using their servers and infrastructure. The new organization hopes to focus on machine learning and artificial intelligence to assist in the fight against cybercrime moving forward.

Google Project Zero claims new BitTorrent flaw could enable cyber crooks get into users’ PCs

Google Project Zero security researchers have found what they claim is a “critical flaw” in the Transmission BitTorrent client that could enable cyber crooks to take control of users’ computers.

Kubernetes

Kubernetes, at its basic level, is a system for managing containerized applications across a cluster of nodes. In many ways, Kubernetes was designed to address the disconnect between the way that modern, clustered infrastructure is designed, and some of the assumptions that most applications and services have about their environments.

Fun fact: The seven spokes in the Kubernetes logo refer to the project’s original name, “Project Seven of Nine.”

We’ve been running Kubernetes for deep learning research for over two years. While our largest-scale workloads manage bare cloud VMs directly, Kubernetes provides a fast iteration cycle, reasonable scalability, and a lack of boilerplate which makes it ideal for most of our experiments. We now operate several Kubernetes clusters (some in the cloud and some on physical hardware), the largest of which we’ve pushed to over 2,500 nodes. This cluster runs in Azure on a combination of D15v2 and NC24 VMs.

Feedback

If infrastructures are to be treated as a code than projects that manage them must be treated as software projects. As your infrastructure code gets bigger and bigger you have more problems to deal with it. Code layout, variable precedence, small hacks here and there. Therefore, organization of your code is very important, and in this repository you can find some of the best practices (in our opinion) to manage your infrastructure code.
