MSI Gaming Wi-Fi 6E Router RadiX AXE6600 presented in detail – igors’sLAB together with MSI raffles a ping killer with RGB

I’m sure I don’t need to describe a router any further, because everyone knows that the Internet doesn’t just come out of the wall socket, but also needs to be distributed throughout the home in a manner that is as latency-free and high-bandwidth as possible. Since Wi-Fi 6E now enables real tri-band routers that can generate a [...]

HPE Instant On (not only) for small business: Aruba Access Point AP22 with Wi-Fi 6 and 1930 8G Class4 PoE 2SFP Switch Review

I admit it, I’ve been putting off the topic of Wi-Fi 6 for ages. But in the meantime, in addition to the appropriate smartphones, I also own several clients that can use Wi-Fi 6, but are not allowed to, because my good old Fritz!Box 7590 does not allow this. And I have long considered whether I do not separate once between business and [...]


DDoS attack on igor’sLAB – Script kiddies against Cloudflare

It was around midnight an not the first time (and will certainly not be the last time), but a DDos attack is always less beautiful (but superfluous as a crop), no matter how elaborate and extensive it has now taken place. However, I go for 2 years, despite a powerful Epyc server and a redundant connection in the data center, the somewhat safer way [...]

Crypto currency in the firing line – Twitter accounts of Elon Musk, Bill Gates and a number of crypto stock exchanges hacked

First of all, I would like to thank some colleagues who really amazed me via Messenger and Tweet with this interesting piece of Twitter reading and which I would also like to share with you. Because one thing is also clear: cryptographic currency scams are almost as old as digital tokens themselves, but the most recent incident is still one for [...]


Eliminate Wi-Fi problems and optimize the network: what you need to know about MIMO, 4×4, thick walls and the right technology | Test

Less is more? At least with Wi-Fi, none of this applies and anyone who, like me, has his rooms in an old, listed house, can never have enough. Also in the case of technology. Of course, it is precisely with this that an enormous amount of money can be sunk, and it is therefore all the more important to be targeted. That's why I want to give [...]


NSA may have 'supplied' its own exploit tools to China

A symantec blog post this week revealed that China's spy group Buckeye used the NSA's "Double Pulsar" and "Eternal Blue" exploit at least a year before the Shadow Brokers group was released. Symantec believes that Buckeye may also have been able to examine the NSA's tools during an NSA attack, which allowed him to [...]
