Yesterday coming back from home my brother told me the internet has not been working all day. On investigating the matter I saw in Winbox that I am receiving a constant data stream of 500 kbps and my entire upload speed of 512 kbps. I saw this before and knew instantly that its an attack [...]
I have Asterisk installed on Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS with FreePBX for easy configuration. I have always had the annoying Error in the FreePBX Server Status indicating that Asterisk is not running, while it was running.

I have started a WUG, short for Wireless User Group, here in Paarl. Its basically a playground to build our own wireless network and to learn more. We generally only use Mikrotik devices on the WUG. It’s just such a nice Router OS. It has everything from OSPF to IPv6.
I have struggled with my [...]
I finally scraped the last cash I had together to buy a UPS for my server. I had to reformat and configure my server from scratch twice since the beginning of the year. All because of hard disk failures (Yeah RAID-5 was not enough!) caused by continues power failures. Enough was enough.
I bought [...]
