Access to Google Cache via ISPs
by Job Muriuki 18 Jul '17

18 Jul '17

Hello Skunks, I have been researching on google cache and its availability and learned that it was supposed to be setup at KIXP for all ISPs to peer but due to capitalism this didn't take off. As a result, Google decided to set it up on any ISPs data center as long as they push over 5Gbps. The setup is all Google backed from the Gigabit uplink (zero cost to the ISP here) the actual servers and management of the same. All the ISP does is to peer with it ensuring all google related traffic stays within the network and we all know how much of Google traffic we consume. Now come to the end user cost of internet considering the bulk of it is Google and prices are still high at least for dedicated services considering you get the traffic from servers in the data center. I think other CDNs are doing the same meaning the actual cost to ISPs should be lower than they say it costs them when you negotiate rates. I could over looked some factors but considering the fiber capacity lying underutilised within Kenya I think costs should lower. Want do you think?

Ubuntu Laptops not browsing but Windows Laptops are...
by Michael Bullut 10 Jul '17

10 Jul '17

Greetings Team, I am in a bit of a quagmire here. Currently, I am tweaking a client's network and all is going well except for this: I notice all laptops are able to connect seamlessly to wireless but Ubuntu laptops are not browsing (Windows laptops, on the other hand, are able to browse without any hitch). There are four (4) wireless access points that are in use on the network (Two (2) UniFi AC Pro AP & Two (2) UniFi AP respectively). I have tried clearing the D.N.S. cache on each of the machines and even restarted all of them but to no avail. Have any of you run into such a problem before? I will really appreciate the help! Warm regards, Michael Bullut. --- *Cell:* *+254 723 393 114.**Skype Name:* *Michael Bullut.* *Twitter:* * @Kipsang <http://twitter.com/Kipsang/>* *Blog: http://www.kipsang.com/ <http://www.kipsang.com/>* *E-mail:* *main(a)kipsang.com <main(a)kipsang.com>* *---*

New Ransomware
by Alex Gitahi 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Hi Listers, FYI Quote [image: McAfee Shield] Dear McAfee Customer, Just over a month ago we reached out to you to educate you about the WannaCry ransomware that impacted more than 150 countries. Today we have another global cyberattack taking place. A new strain of ransomware is spreading rapidly. Called Petya, or Petwrap, ransomware, it has hit companies everywhere across Europe today, including Ukraine's government facilities, electric grids, banks, and public transportation, demanding a $300 ransom in Bitcoin in the process. It has since spread to companies around the world. So how does this Petya attack work, exactly? Going after Windows servers, PCs, and laptops, this cyberattack appears to be an "updated variant" of the Petya malware virus. It uses the SMB (Server Message Block) vulnerability that WannaCry did, however in the case of Petya it encrypts, among other files, your master boot file. These messages recommend you conduct a system reboot, after which the system is inaccessible. This basically means the operating system won't be able to locate files. Now, the next question is - does this affect you, and what should you do to stay secure? Though this attack is largely targeting companies, it's important you stay vigilant and take precautionary measures. We encourage you to follow these tips to help stay safe: *Always make sure your McAfee anti-virus is up-to-date* to maximize the protection available to you. *Don't click too quickly.* This attack may be spreading through phishing or spam emails, so make sure you check an email's content for legitimacy. Hover over a link and see if it's going to a reliable URL. Or, if you're unsure about an email's content or the source it came from, do a quick search and look for other instances of this campaign, and what those instances could tell you about the email's legitimacy. *Do a complete back up.* Back up all your PCs immediately. If your machine becomes infected with Petya ransomware, your data could become completely inaccessible. Make sure you cover all your bases and have your data stored on an external hard drive or elsewhere. *Apply system and application updates.* This is spreading in organizations using the same technique as WannaCry. Making sure your operating system is up to date will help contain the spread of this malware. You can stay updated on the Petya ransomware attack by checking our blog site here <http://strongmail.mcafee.com/t/ccgbaVTE1pBAFW0mXLVaLTSuaJRTfaaaaa?o=7*1Bx*8…> . Sincerely, Gary J.
