| * I beat a WAAS into submission once... a couple weeks after they first came out... when it was still just another vendor's products that Cisco had rebranded. That was rough. Really rough. I understand that the WAAS has gotten a LOT better, but haven't had the opportunity to play with one since. | * I beat a WAAS into submission once... a couple weeks after they first came out... when it was still just another vendor's products that Cisco had rebranded.

| * For the past several years I have spent the majority of each year maintaining and upgrading a rather large (several hundred network switches, 10's of thousands of clients) industrial network spread across many states. This particular network was designed to be 100% Cisco equipment, and it was absolutely critical that it never sustain any unscheduled downtime. | * For the past several years I have spent the majority of each year maintaining and upgrading a rather large (several hundred network switches, 10's of thousands of clients) industrial network spread across many states.

| - | * I give presentations at trade shows and IT conferences on the topic of wireless security and break WEP, WPA, WPA2, and LEAP live, on stage. PEAP and EAP-TLS I'll talk about breaking, but due to time constraints I've never had the opportunity to break it live. | + | * I give presentations at trade shows and IT conferences on the topic of wireless security and break WEP, WPA, WPA2, and LEAP live, on stage. PEAP and EAP-TLS I'll talk about breaking, but due to time constraints I've never had the opportunity to break it live. There has also been significant interest in the past couple of years in practical, day-to-day security and habits that both IT professionals and end users can form to raise their overall security status and lower the attack surface of their infrastructure. |
