New DOS attacks threaten wireless data networks
Posted by James B. in Technology on June 10, 2009
We are starting to see the new threat to our internet usage as we use wireless everywhere nowadays. I know I use it at places like Starbucks and so on…just imagine what this could do!
Forget spam, viruses, worms, malware and phishing. These threats are apparently old school when compared to a new class of denial-of-service (DOS) attacks that threaten wireless data networks.

It is nice to see that Vyatta is getting some backing to keep pushing forward with their amazing product. I have been following this project for a while now watching how it evolves and even being tempted to try to push this on to some of the upper management here at my work as a replacement for some of our gear.

Vyatta Connects Citywide Network for Portland, Texas
Vyatta Solution Provides End-to-End Routing and Security Without Causing Financial Heartburn
In Portland Texas, Vyatta software was used as the core router with 24 GigE ports as well as in smaller units in patrol cars, fire vehicles, microwave towers, servers in various city buildings and more to create a MAN (Metro Area Network). Vyatta is used for routing, firewall, VPN and intrusion prevention to connect & protect the city’s data and VoIP infrastructure.
“I could easily see us spending well over $250,000 for Cisco equipment to replicate what we did here for less than $10,000, and Vyatta’s open networking software offers the flexibility to meet both our current and future requirements.”
Terrell Elliott, detective sergeant and IT manager of the Portland, Texas Police Department
