Anyone interested in donating space / connectivity / kit for a proper NZ Debian mirror?
by Michael Fincham 28 Jun '18

28 Jun '18

Hi everyone, Citylink's official Debian mirror (ftp.nz.debian.org) is apparently again broken (not even listening on port 80 from where I'm sitting). Would anyone be seriously interested in donating rack space, national transit, or hardware to the cause of another official Debian mirror for NZ? Having reliable and cheap access to free software projects like Debian is critically important, and having a second official mirror seems like a no-brainer to me. I am very happy to donate my time to admin and monitor any equipment provided for this, and to liase with the Debian project as required. Perhaps Citylink could give us some insight in to the traffic levels their existing mirrors see? -- Michael Fincham

Interesting links on hacking in the large
by Matt Stevens 12 Jun '18

12 Jun '18

Greetings, I am interested in looking at the progression of hacking strategies over the last ten years or so. However hackers typically don't talk and sadly my circle of friends do not extend to those leading the hacking trends, that is, well resourced criminal groups and nation states. Hackers do however read. I'm interested in what you have found that already exists in the public domain. Stuff where you have gone "ohhh, interesting..." or "that's novel" or "I can't talk about it, but I have seen this...". I am anticipating links to publicly available news articles, government reports, conference presentations, YouTube videos or what-have-you. The goal is an academic paper examining these trends that hopefully will present interesting insights. I am a researcher at Victoria in Wellington under Professor Ian Welch whom runs our Cyber Security undergraduate degree and postgraduate research. I have an ME in Software Engineering with a Network Security slant and am currently working towards a PhD in the same field with an applied science focus. I like to think I am making stuff that is actually useful. I am very happy to chat if you are interested and will respect the need to discuss clients and employers in the abstract. Coffee is on me. But, my main interest here is interesting links Please email me direct! Cheers Matt Stevens Researcher Engineering and Computer Science Victoria University
