In order to add new EAP methods to the linux implementation of IEEE802.1X, I had to make the protocol work on a wire. Since I had some difficulties to succeed and to find sample examples for wired connection, I publish these sample configuration here. I hope it will help.

It is based on hostapd and wpa_supplicant 0.6.4. To compile them, go in the hostapd/wpa_supplicant directory, copy "defconfig" to ".config", for hostapd uncomment the line "CONFIG_DRIVER_WIRED=y" and "make".

Hostapd (the authenticator)

This page presents how to work with the LinShim6 git repository, but is also intended at sharing my experience about git usage. Don't hesitate to comment about it (mail to Sébastien Barré) or suggests practical tricks allowing to better benefit from the power of git.

Initial configuration of git


git-config --global user.name "FirstName LastName"
git-config --global user.email "user@example.com"

The growth of the Internet is causing some stress on the Internet control plane and BGP in particular. The IRTF Routing Research Group has been chartered to explore architectural alternatives to the current Internet routing architecture. Several of these alternatives rely on separating the identifier and locator roles of IP addresses. In this talk, we'll review the key principles of these proposals and explain the main challenges that need to be solved.

During the Defcon conference, two security researchers have shown by a live exploit that interdomain routing with today's BGP is not secure. Additional details about the exploit may be found in :
