Chief Information Officers Council Visual Trace Route Tool - Find, Track, and Map the Route to an IP Address Awaiting IP trace initialization. The visual tracert tool displays the path Internet packets traverse to reach a specified destination. The tool works by identifying the IP addresses of each hop along the way to the destination network address. To get more specific info about an IP address you can use this IP tracer tool from IP-Tracker.org. The estimated geophysical location of each hop is identified using MaxMind's GeoIP database. Concerning trace routes The Internet is a large and complex aggregation of network hardware connected together by gateways. Every time a host forwards a packet, it decrements the TTL value of the packet by one. A “trace route” works by increasing the TTL value of each successive packet sent. Unfortunately for those performing trace routes, sometimes hosts will just drop the last packet and not return a destination unreachable response. It is important to note that Internet Protocol (IP) does not guarantee that all the packets take the same route.
The Return of Aaron Barr: Victim of Embarrassing Hacking Now Cybersecurity Chief at Large Federal Contractor By NEIL GORDON If you have been following the twists and turns of the Wikileaks saga, you might remember the incident earlier this year involving an IT executive named Aaron Barr and the activist hacker group known as Anonymous. It's a comically bizarre story, but it has larger implications that deserve to be taken very seriously. In February, Barr, CEO of cybersecurity consulting firm HBGary Federal, unwittingly picked a fight with the pro-Wikileaks band of hackers when he boasted in an online article that his company had successfully infiltrated Anonymous by trolling online social media and had gathered personal data on its members. In retaliation, Anonymous hacked into the email accounts of HBGary (the parent company of HBGary Federal) and posted thousands of their emails online. They also hacked Barr’s iPad, iPhone, and his online accounts. After the story broke, Barr resigned from HBGary Federal. The ethics complaint is still pending. However, Barr can’t completely escape his past.
Cybersecurity President Obama has declared that the “cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation” and that “America's economic prosperity in the 21st century will depend on cybersecurity.” As a result, the President directed a top-to-bottom review of the Federal Government's efforts to defend our information and communications infrastructure, which resulted in a report titled the Cyberspace Policy Review. To implement the results of this review, the President has appointed Howard Schmidt to serve at the U.S. Cybersecurity Coordinator and created the Cybersecurity Office within the National Security Staff, which works closely with the Federal Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel, the Federal Chief Technology Officer Todd Park, and the National Economic Council.

Washington's $8 Billion Shadow Mega-contractors such as Halliburton and Bechtel supply the government with brawn. But the biggest, most powerful of the "body shops"—SAIC, which employs 44,000 people and took in $8 billion last year—sells brainpower, including a lot of the "expertise" behind the Iraq war. , Donald L. Barlett and James B. One of the great staples of the modern Washington movie is the dark and ruthless corporation whose power extends into every cranny around the globe, whose technological expertise is without peer, whose secrets are unfathomable, whose riches defy calculation, and whose network of allies, in and out of government, is held together by webs of money, ambition, and fear. To be sure, there isn't really such a corporation: the Omnivore Group, as it might be called. It is a simple fact of life these days that, owing to a deliberate decision to downsize government, Washington can operate only by paying private companies to perform a wide range of functions.

( Click on image to enlarge) Catching the Next WikiLeaker USMagazine, Wednesday, September 12, 2012, 7:18am (PDT) Zachary Quinto is glee-fully in love! After coming out as gay in a moving New York Times interview in October 2011, the Star Trek actor, 35, confirms to Out magazine that he's in a relationship with Jonathan Groff. "I'm incredibly happy, I'm incredibly lucky," Quinto says of life with Groff, 27, familiar to TV fans of Boss and Glee, in which he played Jesse St. James, the scheming (and singing!) ex-boyfriend of Rachel Berry (Lea Michele). PHOTOS: Out and proud stars Quinto declined to go into further detail about the relationship with Groff, but does tell Out that he's broken an unhealthy romantic habit borne out of the death of his father. "I found myself in a pattern of being attracted to people who were somehow unavailable, and what I realized was that I was protecting myself because I equated the idea of connection and love with trauma and death," Quinto reveals.

Top 374 keywords the U.S. government monitors Three months ago, a list of keywords was released by the Dept. for Homeland Security after the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) sued the government for withholding the document. The story has stirred up again by a couple of recent media reports have gotten the social networks sharing the media reports like wildfire. This got me thinking. The U.S. government may not be monitoring everything you say on social media sites, it monitors hundreds of seemingly obvious keywords every minute of the day --- and some that are just plain bizarre. The 39-page "2011 Analyst's Desktop Binder", emblazoned with the Homeland Security seal, dedicates four pages to words ranging from weather terms and cyber security to "south-west border" words and health related terms. As we head into the summer season, you may want to think twice before tweeting about barbeque "pork" or how the "cloud" is ruining the weather --- a thoughtless comment that could end up with your Twitter account being monitored.
