Prerequisites This article is a follow-up from the Crowdsec multi-server setup. It applies to a configuration with at least two servers (referred to as server-1 and one of server-2 or server-3).

Host Identity Protocol, or HIP, is a layer 3.5 solution and was initially designed to split the dual role of the IP address - locator and identifier. Using HIP protocol one can solve not only mobility problems but also establish authenticated secure channels between two communicating end-hosts. In this short article, we first introduce relevant background information. We then present some mathematical background related to Elliptic Curve (EC) Cryptography and Diffie-Hellman protocol based on EC. Finally, we demonstrate some micro benchmarking results for various cryptographic primitives and conclude the paper with the results for the overall performance of HIP and IPSec, which we implemented in Linux user space using Python language.

Detecting vulnerabilities and managing the associated patching is challenging even in a small-scale Linux environment. Scale things up and the challenge becomes almost unsurmountable. There are approaches that help, but these approaches are unevenly applied. In our survey, State of Enterprise Vulnerability Detection and Patch Management, we set out to investigate how large organizations handle the dual, linked security concerns of vulnerability detection and patch management.

Reproducible builds are one of the tools that can help developers to implement live patching consistently and safely. In this article, I explain why reproducible builds matter for live patching, what exactly reproducible builds are, and how containers are coming to the rescue.
