Last week, Wei talked about how we leveraged data from our honeypots to refine our strike for CVE-2017-5638. In the week that followed, I've tracked our honeypot activity, looking for patterns and changes in the drive-by attempts abusing this Apache Struts vulnerability. For those that are not in…

Passive fiber optic taps are very simple devices. They almost never go wrong. In fact they have MTBF figures calculated in millions of hours. You will certainly die before they will! However Ixia often get questions from customers of the kind "I've installed your tap, but it does not work - please…

The upcoming fifth generation of wireless networks, also known as “5G”, promises to be a game changer. But, as opposed to the current generation (4G or Long Term Evolution - LTE), 5G is not only targeted to drastically improve the end-user experience. 5G is as much about the connected devices…

Ixia's ATI team is investigating a 0-day Apache Struts2 vulnerability (CVE-2017-5638) initially reported by Cisco's TALOS team. Shortly after disclosure, in-the-wild exploits started hitting our honeypots. By combing through these hits, we were able to identify variations in the exploit for testing…

How to calculate light budgets and select the best fiber tap for the job.
In using passive fiber taps Engineers are often asked to verify the light budget. So what is a “Light Budget” and how is it calculated?
At either end of a fiber optic link there is a transceiver. A transceiver both…

Coded, disguised forms of communication (also known as ciphers) are nothing new. For centuries, people have sent messages designed to be unreadable, if intercepted or received by hostile forces. The enigma machines used by Germany during WW2 are a famous example of this. Today, SSL (secure sockets…
