Почему построить межсетевой экран на 200 Гбит/с — это ад инженерии: честный разбор Mirada

Материал согласован с Codemaster в части технических данных и цифр. Все оценки и выводы — мои. С 1998 года по 2026 год я эксплуатировал и настраивал разные IPS и межсетевые экраны: PIX, ASA, Check Point, IPFW, IPtables, ISA/TMG, WatchGuard, Sophos, Optenet, Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet.

Consider two people at the end of a difficult meeting. The first registers that they feel bad. The second registers that they feel humiliated — not angry, not embarrassed, not disappointed, but specifically humiliated. The feeling is not more intense in the second case. It is more precise. And that precision, according to a growing ... Read more Read more

In 1977, Jerry Ehman was paging through computer printouts from Ohio State’s Big Ear telescope when he saw a 72-second signal so strong and so cleanly from the direction of Sagittarius that he circled the column in red ballpoint and wrote a single word in the margin: Wow!

On August 15, 1977, Ohio State's Big Ear radio telescope recorded a 72-second narrow-band signal from Sagittarius that was 30 times louder than background noise — sitting almost exactly on the hydrogen line where SETI researchers had been listening since 1959. Jerry Ehman circled it in red ballpoint days later. It has never been heard again. Read more

People who fall asleep with the television on aren’t lazy or undisciplined — many learned in childhood that voices in another room meant the house was safe, and the nervous system still reads the equation the same way decades later
