Schuyler:
Hello! Welcome to LEAF. I got about a dozen questions
about NoCat (*great* name, btw), but I'll start with just three.
Feel free to reply on-list or off-list or whatever you think is
best:
1. What were your design considerations in regards to putting the
authorization info and server on the firewall itself? The
alternatives are harder, but strike me as possibly more secure
than putting such important stuff on boxes whose physical
security cannot be assured.
2. Any thoughts about HereUAre.com? I met with them last year
down in Santa Clara, CA., though nothing came of it.
3. I was curious if you've looked at LaBrea at all, to tarpit the
unused IP's on the WLAN until someone authenticates with your
NoCatAuth.
Again, welcome! Looking forward to your thoughts...
cheers,
Scott
