Interestingly, the thought had recently crossed my mind about a git-like wiki or database structure in the past few days (I have been using git and make recently for router configuration project change management with great success… if time permits, I will write more on this at a later date), and a colleague shared this link with me.

Network Protocol Characteristic and Flaw Documentation
I should probably register and contribute here. I’m on a first name basis with quite a few protocols, but invariably I encounter something with which I’m not familiar, and the search is usually futile. The downside in this case is the assumption that you already know the protocol and are looking for additional information about it, rather than my typical use case where I see a port in use and capture some data about it, and am instead looking to see what protocol it is.
A corollary to this link might be http://www.emergingthreats.net, as it provides a purpose and in some cases perhaps descriptors of the traffic.
The more I think about it, search around, and reflect on past experience, the more of these types of sites come to mind. The documentation and descriptions we use for protocols and their inherent characteristics and flaws just doesn’t seem to have standardized in the same way that others have (i.e., CERT, MITRE).

Cluster build environment
This is quite an interesting build sheet linked from the screenshots at http://netkiller.sourceforge.net. Most of my design doesn’t get into this kind of depth – and in fact, stays almost exclusively at the layer 2/layer 3 level, below what’s generally reflected here. There’s just a zen-like aura surrounding this diagram, and as I reviewed it, a feeling of peace came over me. So, I thought I’d mark it in case I do need to design at this scope at some point in the future.

“As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth’s final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.” Commissioner Pravin Lal “U.N. Declaration of Rights” From the movie Alpha Centauri (1999)
