[noctool-devel] Oooh! Shiny! [ predictive models of future behaviour ]

Found the following after discussing the Snooper model for predicting "a run on this port was made on $Date" and I suspect it MAY, possibly, be worth considering for alert thingbobs in NOCtool: http://www.usenix.org/events/lisa2000/full_papers/brutlag/brutlag_html/inde… //Ingvar

[noctool-devel] DISK-MONITOR class question
by Jim Prewett 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hi All, I'm cureous as to why the DISK-MONITOR class has the slots: DISK-USED & INODES-USED whose accessors are DISK-FREE and INODES-FREE and initargs are :DISK-FREE and :INODES-FREE. This seems a *tad* confusing to me, especially whereas df reports used blocks and available blocks and the DISK-USED slot seems to be storing the *free* blocks. The INODES-USED slot seems to be, at this point, unused, so I'm not sure if it is also backwards :) The naming does seem a bit strange as well. :) Jim James E.

[noctool-devel] Hm, may be time for a SLIGHT network protocol design

Seems SHA1 is "recommended to be discontinued in 2010", since it is expected that the MD5 collision theories/algorithms can be partially re-used. Investigoating options at the moment (SHA256 may be a contender). //Ingvar
