GUI Performance tools for OpenSolaris For years I've wanted some eye candy way to show of the cryptographic framework, but when it comes down to it crypto just isn't that sexy when it comes to demos.
Well now at least there is a GUI that we can use to show what the framework is doing. The jkstat project just started up on OpenSolaris, some of the screenshots of this look great.
We will be able to use this to display the kstats that the kernel crypto framework and its providers export to show visually what is going on.
Even better I get to talk to the main author about this in person since he is one of the members of the London OpenSolaris User Group. Hopefully I can sign him up to give a talk on this at one of our up and coming meetings.
Security Community Blog
Yesterday marked a new day for blogs.sun.com/security instead of just being an RSS feed of the Sun Alerts it is now a community blog for us security geeks. Also by some nice coincidence Jonathan Schwartz did me a huge favour and gave me something to post that I thought was relevant to blogs.sun.com/security instead of just posting it here :-)
This is a personal weblog, I do not speak for my employer.
