The first quarter of 2020 is behind us, which means it's time for another look at some of the interesting ports accessible on public IPs. This time however, we will take a look at how the internet as a whole changed during the past 3 months, but also at specific changes related to support of different versions of SSL and TLS...

A Diary of mine was published today on the SANS Internet Storm Center website. In this one, we’ll take a look at changes in the number of web servers, which support TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1…

A Diary of mine was published today on the SANS Internet Storm Center. In this one, we take a look at the increse in support of TLS 1.3 by HTTPS servers and the decrease in support of SSL 2.0.

One of the side effects of social distancing and self-quarantining due to COVID-19 was a large increase in the use of VPNs (and, in some cases, different remote access protocols, such as RDP or SSH) by companies around the world, so that their employees might work from home.
