quote of the day – “technology is not an end in itself …”
Originally written .
Technology is not an end in itself, it is only a tool to assist our humanity, and should be used for good. That is technologists must take responsibility for the social results of our work. Techno-colonialism is as dangerous as political imperialism, at least to us nerds and those we enable. Life is not just about money and capital success; education and privilege come with responsibility to our societies and to humankind which follows us all our lives. And each of us, as individuals, through our daily acts, can and must do what we can to effect positive social evolution and change.

- wrote a outline for my paper
- found an interesting post on UML, ethertap, and host bridging at http://www.geocrawler.com/lists/3/SourceForge/597/0/6441084
- so it seems that the later releases of uml_utilities has TUN/TAP support for the uml_switch. this might fix my problem with snort.
- to use those new versions, I think I have to upgrade the general distro as well. So, I installed user_mode_linux-2.4.18.15um-0.i386.rpm
- well, the new version of uml fixes a ton of problems, like with the console, and the tun/tap interface to the uml switch means that i don’t have to muck around with the virtual gateway in my honeynet
- actually, for now, I think I’ll keep the virtual gateway scheme, and instead, create another tap interface on the host which I’ll listen on with snort.
