ComSifter CS-8 Network Internet Filter Appliance

ComSifter is a hardware-and-software appliance that plugs into your network and redirects all Internet traffic to itself. The ComSifter communicates directly with the Internet. Internet information for all other computers (e.g., Windows, Apple, Linux) must first go through the filter system built into the ComSifter. Three models of ComSifter are available. Model CS-8, with 8 configurable filters, is designed for organizations that require different filtering needs for different groups of users. Each filter can have its filtering criterion modified using 10 configurable filter groups and 12 configurable words/phrases categories. CS-8 allows individual users to be assigned to a particular filter that permits users or computers to bypass the filter, block access, use Warn & Go to temporarily bypass the filter, or select hours of operation. CS-8 provides security logs, user access logs for monitoring, and extensive diagnostics. ComSifter designs and markets it products with three goals in mind-- the product must be accurate, simple to install/operate and be cost effective. Accuracy - a multi-tier filtering system stops more than 98% of inappropriate content. Simplicity -- ComSifter is a standalone appliance that is installed in minutes.

One crew member said (on Dec 27/2009) they are working on it and it might be available by the Olympics.

This was in the Seawest Lounge on the Spirit of BC. I also noticed them outside the lounge on deck 6.

Talked to BC Ferries today (April 30/2010) and they informed me that they are still working on it with Telus re: connectivity issues They want the service to be 90% reliable before they implement it. Their latest estimate is end of June 2010.

Update from June 17/2010:

Victoria, B.C. - Ferry passengers will soon be able to surf the Internet while skimming the waters of Active Pass.

B.C. Ferries says it will launch wireless Internet service on some of its ships next month to provide free web access for those who suffer Internet withdrawal during the 95-minute voyage from Victoria to the mainland.

“We’ll be piloting it on the Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay run as well as at those two terminals,” said Deborah Marshall, B.C. Ferries spokesperson. “If it is successful, we will expand it to the two other mainland Vancouver Island routes and the associated terminals” in Nanaimo, Duke Point and Horseshoe Bay, said Marshall.

The ferry corporation is keeping mum on some details — such as what kind of technology has been selected to provide the service — until an official announcement next month.

It has taken ferries staff around two years to get the idea from the drawing board to reality because of the difficulty maintaining a steady data connection to a moving ship, said Marshall.

Parts of the route are also a challenge for cellphone reception.

While the service will be free, passengers will not be allowed to access streaming audio or video on the ferry WiFi network in order to save bandwidth, said Marshall. “We don’t really know how many customers will tap into it,” she said. “We imagine it will be quite popular.”

There will also be filters to block access to inappropriate sites, said Marshall.

Ethereal is the #2 most popular open source security tool used by system administrators and security professionals. This all new book builds on the success of Syngress' best-selling book Ethereal Packet Sniffing.

This book provides complete information and step-by-step Instructions for analyzing protocols and network traffic on Windows, Unix or Mac OS X networks. First, readers will learn about the types of sniffers available today and see the benefits of using Ethereal. Readers will then learn to install Ethereal in multiple environments including Windows, Unix and Mac OS X as well as building Ethereal from source and will also be guided through Ethereal's graphical user interface. The following sections will teach readers to use command-line options of Ethereal as well as using Tethereal to capture live packets from the wire or to read saved capture files. This section also details how to import and export files between Ethereal and WinDump, Snort, Snoop, Microsoft Network Monitor, and EtherPeek. The book then teaches the reader to master advanced tasks such as creating sub-trees, displaying bitfields in a graphical view, tracking requests and reply packet pairs as well as exclusive coverage of MATE, Ethereal's brand new configurable upper level analysis engine. The final section to the book teaches readers to enable Ethereal to read new Data sources, program their own protocol dissectors, and to create and customize Ethereal reports.

Ethereal is the #2 most popular open source security tool, according to a recent study conducted by insecure.org

Syngress' first Ethereal book has consistently been one of the best selling security books for the past 2 years

The companion Web site for the book provides readers with dozens of open source security tools and working scripts
