Requests for Comments 
Jeremy Stretch via PacketLife.net Blog on Mon, 01 Dec. 2008
When reading about network protocols, one will inevitably encounter references to various RFCs. Not many people take the time to actually follow up on these references, which is unfortunate because familiarizing yourself with an RFC can yield huge advantages when designing a complex network or when charged to troubleshoot particularly obscure predicaments.
An RFC, or Request For Com

Richard Bennett via CircleID: Featured Blogs on Tue, 25 Nov. 2008

Ghosts of KGB past haunt Radio Free Security 
Scott Pinzon via WatchGuard Blogs on Tue, 25 Nov. 2008
I'm assembling the December episode of Radio Free Security, and it contains a notable first for the show: listeners will hear an ex-KGB Major General share some of the cat-and-mouse espionage games Soviet Russia played against the US during the Cold War.
Oleg Kalugin worked his way up in the KGB from the days of Kruschev all the way up to Gorbachev (and regards Putin as a junior upstart), but
