I ran into an issue while configuring an F5 SSLVPN for IPV6 last night, and googling it didn’t return anything of use.. so here we are again!

This is for the IPV6 LAN Address Space option, under Client Settings in the Network Settings tab under… don’t hold your breath…

Access ›› Connectivity / VPN : Network Access (VPN) : Network Access Lists : (yourprofile)

I know they’re complex, but the configuration’s getting hilariously convoluted to find sometimes.

Had an issue with people attempting password resets against one of my wordpress instances, when it’s something I’ll literally never require.

Since it’s running on Apache, I decided to use mod_security to implement, blocking and alerting with ease.

SecRule REQUEST_FILENAME "wp-login.php" "id:'400002',chain,deny,log,msg:'Password reset form attempt'"
SecRule ARGS:action "@contains lostpassword"

This is really simple, and nukes the ability for people to reset the password - and easy to remove if someone does have to do it :)

As in the opposite of benefit. Because using drawbacks is bad; similarly ‘pros’ and ‘cons’.

Today was, as the title says, a sea day. We spent the day on a Turkish boat, cruising for a short time around Kaleüçağız. Yep, take notes, there’ll be a test on that one later. It’s a beautiful seaside village with a rather large marina full of tourist and traveller boats.

On the way, we were treated to a spectacular view of Kaş from a lookout a few stories above it. Erkan described it as the place he fell in love with the city, and I certainly understand why. Also, mad props to the best hotel for advertising :)

If the status quo was the best idea we’d still be nomads scratching in the dirt for grubs. Or we’d still be bacteria.

A piece of paper which was designed on a computer and printed by a giant automated printer, then folded by robots and inserted into an envelope, again, by robots, was sent to your house. A person will have put it in your letter box, and you or your partner would have taken it into your house, a place built by men and women out of parts suffused with centuries of improvement. You can read it today by sunlight or moonlight or by the magic of electricity or even fire. All wonderful things we couldn’t live without that required people to work together and accept new things. That’s how you’re picking up that pen or pencil, to make a mark on that piece of paper, that helps our society decide if we believe in this thing that means so much to so many on both sides of the discussion.
