First off, I have to address the fact that it’s been a long long time since I’ve posted anything here. Second and related statement: Any views or information expressed here do not reflect that of AWS. This site is a personal project and should be treated as that. Just a…

Mac/Apple iOS devices on 802.11x with NPS
I was having a conversation on reddit about setting up apple devices on certificate based 802.11x over a year ago and since then, I’ve received quite a few PM’s asking for details or instructions. I’ve been meaning to throw the internal instructions I wrote up into a sanitized blog post…
Comments closedipv6 prefix delegation and other 6ish considerations
ipv6 is one of my interests and while I did have it previously on my lab network I had to let it go when I got rid of my edgerouter in lieu of an ASA. I felt obligated to switch to the ASA because of work, I grabbed a 5520…

I’ve been trying to find a good project to really leverage some API’s and even go a step further and implement some server-less functions. I really thought the best application for this would be at work, I mean where else am I going to find a project that needs this…

So things have been awfully quiet here. I lost a post a did a while back due to a backup system that I hadn’t vetted. The short of it is, I went to ESXI, I cried, I came back to proxmox/kvm. There was quite a few potential posts that I…

Deal with the oxford comma, I like them. There’s been an issue at a customer’s site that’s really been bothering me. Not that there’s an issue, it’s not my fight nor have I been asked to troubleshoot it. But the scope of the problem sheds light on glaring holes in…
