Added Flash Player Option for Podcasts
Posted on 03.21.05 @ 11:55 pm (CST)

We have added a new Popup Flash Player for our podcasts. It is ideal if you are not allowed to download MP3s due to filtering. Or to listen to our latest reports on a computer other than your own that lacks a podcatcher or audio player. Many more additions on the way!

L.A.S. Coral Cached
Posted on 02.19.05 @ 3:11 am (CST)

I have been testing out Coral recently which is a distributed “peer-to-peer content distribution network”. By adding an extension (.nyud.net:8090) to your site it will cach it in servers located near you. So if your site/content is cached all over the world it is more accessable in the event of a Slashdotting or similar traffic surge. You can access the L.A.S. Coral version here:

  • http://cached.localareasecurity.com
  • http://www.localareasecurity.com.nyud.net:8090
  • (Both links point to the same place. . .)

    As a “fun fact” if you look at the Coral stats page you will see that over a 24 hour period they transmit roughly 1700GBs of data. Which comes out to about 1.6TBs.

    In conjunction with using the WordPress Staticize Reloaded plug-in you can make an already effiicient engine even faster by not causing a high load on your database server. In the past this was the weak link during the Slashdot Effect.

    The Return of Forums
    Posted on 02.18.05 @ 2:59 am (CST)

    I am happy to announce that due to the endless stream of emails I have gotten since back when I removed the old L.A.S. fourms. That I decided to give the people what they want! So have a look at the new forums and feel free to register. We are looking to get more moderators and suggestions on catagories and forum topics.

    Many more changes and additions are on the way so be on the lookout for the new BitTorrent tracker and RSS feed for new versions of L.A.S. Along with a backlog of security papers we will be posting with the archive of old ones. If you are looking for Mambo security information see HERE.
