Check to to see if your router is Circle compatible

Episode 133 – Tools, Tips and Tricks – Circle

By Binary Blogger on December 15, 2017

This week's TTT episode talks about a fantastic new service to help manage your family's home Internet use. It's called Circle and this is a network level filter and time management capability that sits on your home router.

No need to install anything on the devices or laptops. You can control what your kids can access, how much time per day they can use the Internet and even limit time on specific apps, like YouTube.

It's a wonderful, easy to use and functional service I use and highly recommend. This episode goes into the details.

OWASP A9 - Using Components With Known Vulnerabilities

By Binary Blogger on December 12, 2017

The OWASP Top 10 list is almost done. Number 9 talks about using components with known vulnerabilities. If you think this doesn't happen, look at Equifax. When vulnerabilities are published for a components hackers start to work on attacks for it. If you run these you are increasing you risk of an attack. This episode goes into the details.
