oh man i'm stoked to share this one.
so at akamai we have these huge research reports called the State of the Internet (SOTIs) that we put out. they're typically pretty high level, showing what we've seen in a particular topic since such a huge portion of the internet runs on our stuff lol BUT this time, they let us try something new.
This time, we pulled together some pretty deep, low-level technical research on risk scoring, a few botnets, vpn abuse, XSS, and k8s and collated it into an anthology designed for the defenders themselves. this was honestly a passion project of sorts (y'all know my nerdy ass loves this shit) and it turned out pretty great i think. i'll probs share it a few different times, it's a dense report lol
the vpn stuff in particular is interesting - they found a permados vuln in fortiOS

Wretched accursed Akamai. Is anybody else seeing #Akamai issues? Bah.
Great post from #Akamai's VP of Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement reiterating Akamai's commitment to both our FlexBase flexible workspace program and our Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement efforts. It is things like this which help Akamai have such a great culture and are reasons why I've stuck around for 25 years.
I signed up for an attended one of our DI&E trainings last week (seemed appropriate) and while I've heard most of the content before, one of the things that it made clear is how critical it is for a global company like ours to have a robust program that helps us have awesome people from all over the globe collaborating to solve tough problems, and to feel engaged and included in ways that foster collaboration and increased productivity.

Many new connection profiles for additional regions and endpoint types of #Linode #Akamai Object Storage
are now available. @mountainduckapp https://docs.cyberduck.io/protocols/s3/linode/
@gameplayer @atomicpoet Given the cost and overhead of facilitating a private network at scale to do so, I'd say that doesn't fly.
#aws is way more convenient for such a job...
#Akamai is hiring for a Senior Product Architect in the US for our designing the next generation of our Compute Networking (eg, #Linode and more) solutions such as VPC, L4 Load Balancing, Cloud Firewall, etc. This is a great opportunity to design #IPv6 centric systems (but still needing to support Legacy IPv4).
I've been at Akamai for 25+ years and love working here, with both flexible work options, great colleagues, and an inclusive environment.
#Akamai shares their contributions to the #CNCF and to #Flatcar #Container #Linux , and @ahrkrak provides a brief project status at the #KubeCon Day 3 keynote last week: https://youtu.be/f8ornY7h2KE?si=YcNXLXI-TPe4F-_8&t=144
The cloud-native community is awesome and we're super happy to be part of it.
So the #perfnow wifi is sponsored by #Akamai, and they get to supply the password that all attendees have to type in. My technical contact opted for 'akamai'.
Neither he nor I nor the professional wifi guy whose job it is to supply professional wifi networks noticed that that password is too short ... only @KrijnHoetmer did.
Which leads me to conclude that the 8-char minimum is a bit bullshitty.
@chiefgyk3d Also fir #decentralized storage there are better options like #IPFS...
I've yet to find any #blockchain that is even remotely competitive with #Akamai as a #CDN in terms of #Storage and one would be better off building a personal "HarderDrive" by using i.e. https://oshi.at ...

What it doesn't say: Kyber/25519 Akamai to origin before end of year. Enabled for all, start upgrading your origins now :)
Soon, ML-KEM/25519 and ML-KEM/P256 in addition to Kyber/25519 client to Akamai. That might require an opt-in configuration.
Shortly thereafter, all internal Akamai connections will do ML-KEM/P256 to get both PQ safety and FIPS.
Updating this to mention that this #Chrome issue with #Chrome128 appears to be connected with #Akamai CDN and cacheable content returning 304s.
