PCI Scan Passed!
Posted on July 16, 2008 by Ben Cecka
This might not seem like a huge deal to some, but we just passed our first PCI vulnerability scan. These little Mikrotik routers (using RouterOS) really know how to rock!
Out of our current 19 public interfaces, we did have a single one that responded via ICMP. It was more or a less bad timing on […]
Still Here
Posted on May 21, 2008 by Ben Cecka
Just a quick post to affirm my own sanity. Over the last few months I’ve been ramping up my workload to an almost insane amount. 7:30am to 11pm (or later) is becoming the norm. While it’s an unsustainable amount of hours to put into a project, I’m banking hard that the return is going to […]
