NetApp has published the results of a research project we conducted evaluating their operating system, iSCSI SAN stack, NFS and CIFS NAS stacks, and HTTP and SSH management interfaces. Read more.

Matasano is an independent security research and development firm. We work with vendors and enterprises to pinpoint and eradicate security flaws, using penetration testing, reverse engineering, and source code review.

Announcing Playbook 2.5 With Integrated Ticketing, Change Review, And Audit

Max Caceres | June 02nd, 2009

Right from the get-go our vision for Playbook was to provide a no-frills integrated view of the complete life cycle of every rule on every firewall under management. From the moment a change request is submitted until it is finally fulfilled by rule edits deployed to your firewalls. Coupled with version control and transparent branching, Playbook’s ticketing not only helps you manage incoming requests — which any ticketing system can do — but allows you to review changes before they hit any firewalls, and provides critical information to the firewall management process by linking multiple rule changes to the request that originated them.

The complete change history behind every line on every firewall ruleset — who requested it, why, what were the suggested changes and who approved them — is then available at the click of a button. We think that’s pretty cool.

We are very excited about 2.5 and hope you are too. Check the updated Playbook’s site to see what’s new in 2.5.

Who We Are

Since 1994, Matasano researchers have had founding roles in the first security research labs, discovered new classes of vulnerabilities, secured operating systems, and shipped large software projects. We’ve been behind some of the first breaks in SAN technology, virtualization, and financial protocols. Our work has been featured in Network World, eWeek, Forbes, Macworld, Wired, and the Washington Post, and at conferences ranging from Black Hat to Gartner.
