Well the tweets are private. And having to install some sort of mailserver the risk out weighed the latter. Plus I am just giving status green,yellow,orange,red,black. Or something like othgyk1 rebooted at date. Not to much there that would help an attacker. And now I have almost instant notification of an attempt. Gives me time to log in see what is happening and do some fancy rerouting to /dev/null :) ------Original Message------ From: Bert Van Kets To: bhoff at itworldclass.com To: PaulDotCom Security Weekly Mailing List Subject: Re: [Pauldotcom] Hardware monitoring with twitter.

A little update to my firewall project. I have ripped out sendmail...and now using twitter to monitor my firewalls health along with my windows/linux servers. This is great as I have now reduced the overhead on the hardware and reduced vuln. In the appliance. Thanks goes out to tcstool for pointing out an app shown on hak5 to make a bat file into a windows service. Future projects include using this with my ips and ids systems.
