Le Piratage du télégraphe Chappe est un détournement du réseau de télégraphie optique entrepris par deux hommes d'affaires bordelais, Louis et François Blanc, entre 1834 et 1836, afin de connaître avant tout le monde la clôture des cours de la rente à la Bourse de Paris.

Le piratage a été rendu possible par la corruption d'un agent télégraphique de Tours, qui ajoutait discrètement le chiffre du cours aux messages envoyés par l'État.

La divulgation de cette manœuvre a contribué au vote de la loi de 1837 sur le monopole public des communications télégraphiques. Il s'agit peut-être d'un des premiers cas de hacking, les frères Blanc exploitant une faille structurelle dans un réseau de télécommunication.

Suricata is a free and open source, mature, fast and robust network threat detection engine. The Suricata engine is capable of real time intrusion detection (IDS), inline intrusion prevention (IPS), network security monitoring (NSM) and offline pcap processing.
Suricata inspects the network traffic using a powerful and extensive rules and signature language, and has powerful Lua scripting support for detection of complex threats. With standard input and output formats like YAML and JSON integrations with tools like existing SIEMs, Splunk, Logstash/Elasticsearch, Kibana, and other database become effortless. Suricata’s fast paced community driven development focuses on security, usability and efficiency.
The Suricata project and code is owned and supported by the Open Information Security Foundation (OISF), a non-profit foundation committed to ensuring Suricata’s development and sustained success as an open source project.

Hurricane Electric operates its own global IPv4 and IPv6 network and is considered the largest IPv6 backbone in the world as measured by number of networks connected. Within its global network, Hurricane Electric is connected to over 150 major exchange points and exchanges traffic directly with more than 6,000 different networks. Employing a resilient fiber-optic topology, Hurricane Electric has no less than four redundant paths crossing North America, two separate paths between the U.S. and Europe, and rings in Europe and Asia. In addition to its vast global network, Hurricane Electric owns and operates two data centers in Fremont, California - including Hurricane Electric Fremont 2, its newest 200,000 square-foot facility. Hurricane Electric offers IPv4 and IPv6 transit solutions over the same connection. Connection speeds available include 100GE (100 gigabits/second), 10GE, and gigabit ethernet.

This blog post looks at the final part of creating secure software: shipping it to users in a safe way. It explains how to use transport security and package signatures to achieve this goal.
