Here are my suggestions:

1. [NOTE: I am biased toward this one, for some personal reasons ;)] I would 
highly recommend you to read some of the papers of the gold certified SANS 
people - start here:

http://www.giac.org/certified_professionals/listing/gcia_100_781.php

2. Another option is getting Richard Bejtlich's books "Intrusion 
Detection ..." & "Extrusion Detection ..." and getting some ideas from that 
material.

[OT] Connexion {Was: Re: [routing-wg]BGP Update Report}

2006-09-10 Thread Netfortius

Just wondering this, myself. I travel fairly frequently between US and Europe, 
and Lufthansa was recently my choice, exclusively because of this service. 
Perhaps with the interdiction of computing devices on board (have not 
travelled since the UK incident, so I am not sure if the new rules of flying 
naked affect all flights?!?) there won't - obviously - be much of a need for 
an Internet connection ...

As many have mentioned here, TIA/EIA-942 is a good starting point. There are a 
couple of good Data Centers books out there, also (a visit to your local 
Borders or B&N could allow for an interesting afternoon browsing). I have 
personally had positive experience with some docs and advice from some folks 
with expertise in cable management and data centers infrastructure:

Re: OT: Good list for VoIP

2006-08-03 Thread Netfortius

I've had some decent success with other lists from this site:

http://isp-lists.isp-planet.com/about/

so you may want to try their VoIP one. I cannot personally endorse that 
specific one, though, as I am not a subscriber.
