Current IPv6 tunnel brokers carry requirements that you might not be able to meet on the network you're using. For example, if you're using a public, open wireless network which you don't control and you want to create a 6in4 tunnel to he.net, you're met with difficulties. If ICMP is disabled on the WAN port of the network, you won't be able to connect. I've come up with a solution: use OpenVPN to tunnel your 6in4 tunnel. This article describes how to use OpenVPN 2.2 (which doesn't have IPv6 support in the tun device) to create a secure tunnel to enable IPv6 on a remote wireless network.

I now have my box set up to build nightly versions of FreeBSD 9-STABLE. I have it building a basic (~500 MB) ISO and memstick image. The ISO and memstick image are uploaded after the build completes to here. The nightly build contains a few patches I've written and a custom kernel (don't worry, nothing malicious). If you use this, you'll have VIMAGE and IPFW support out-of-the-box along with recursive setfacl.

May is going to be a very busy time for me. The first two weeks I'll be touring Salt Lake City and Canada, speaking about two subjects I blog about often: libhijack and creating a cloud-like infrastructure with FreeBSD vnet jails. On the evening of May 3rd, I'll be speaking for my local OWASP chapter about libhijack. I'm really excited. My local OWASP chapter has some really knowledgeable people. Attendance is free, so come and learn about libhijack.

My wife recently switched employers and is now a teacher at a nearby university. She's practiced her line of work for the past six or so years and has done an amazing job honing her skills. She now hopes to pass her skills and techniques on to fellow students of massage therapy. Until just a couple days ago when she landed the job, my wife and I shared a single laptop (a MacBook Pro). She would use it during the day when I was off at work and I would use it during the evenings at home. Now that she needs her own laptop full-time (she'll be teaching in the evenings), I needed a new rig. I opted to go with an Android Tablet since my employer loves it when I give presentations.
