ネットワークプロトコルの挑戦
Previously, he was searching for a way out of his confusion.
I'm trying to see the demolition, but all I see is more construction.
I'm missing the first principle. Instead, he was handed a compass that only pointed deeper in.
You're staring at a blueprint for a skyscraper and asking about the color of the paint.
Until you can write a rhyme about a CI packet, don't talk to me about the lyric.
And now, a new problem started. With James' help, the tricky routing issue was resolved.
A sigh of relief. But the relief is short-lived.
You see this static route here? It points to a server in the old datacenter storage block.
It's using something called the Janus Key Exchange Protocol.
In that instant, the air around James shifts.
But the handshake mechanism seems to bypass standard certificate validation.
That deviates from fundamental security principles.
It's not just old tech. It feels deliberately porous.
If he showed you something that made him go quiet, that's different.
That means he trusts your discretion.
Be careful, Tanaka-san.
Uh, James-san, excuse me. Do you have a moment?
基礎概念の重要性
Tanaka-san? Of course. How may I be of assistance?
It's about Sassy. To understand the overall concept,
is it correct to say that I should first master the principles of a next-generation firewall?
An interesting starting point. But tell me, what was Mr. McFarlane's advice to you on this matter?
He told me to respect the BRICS. The OSI model, the journey of a single packet,
the absolute fundamentals. He said I can't read poetry if I don't know the alphabet.
Precisely. He is absolutely correct.
Once you have an intuitive grasp of how and why a packet moves,
then exploring the policies of an NGFW becomes a meaningful exercise.
And from there, the philosophy of Sassy will naturally unfold.
Oh, I'm so sorry. This is an urgent alert from the Singapore pilot environment.
I've been trying to configure the connection all morning.
I see. Well, it seems you have an immediate opportunity to practice the alphabet.
Before we discuss the grand architecture, perhaps we should first ensure your horse
can leave the stable. A routing issue, I presume. Let's have a look.
A spot of bother. Indeed.
ネットワーク設定の再確認
Might I suggest we re-examine the static routing configuration on Router 3?
It appears there might be a slight discrepancy in the subnet mask.
Sorry, a discrepancy? You mean, I made a mistake?
Oh, mistake is a rather strong word, isn't it?
Let's just say the current value doesn't seem to align with the documented network topology.
I would simply propose we double-check for absolute certainty.
Mate, are you taking the piss?
I assure you, I am quite serious, Mr. McFarlane.
Nobody talks like that. Not even my nan.
Sorry. I didn't realize he and you were.
Mr. McFarlane and I have a long-standing professional understanding.
Now, regarding the subnet mask.
It works. Thank you, James San.
I see the mask was off by one bit.
Not at all. We've all been there.
Actually, since we're on the topic, it's curious.
This router also handles a legacy static route.
I haven't looked at it in ages.
You see this static route here?
It points to a server in the old datacenter storage block.
It's using something called the Janus Key Exchange Protocol.
Janus Key Exchange. I've never heard of it.
不透明なプロトコルの議論
Neither have I. It must be proprietary.
Developed in-house, I suppose.
But the handshake mechanism seems to bypass standard certificate validation.
That deviates from fundamental security principles.
It's not just old tech. It feels deliberately porous.
It reminds me of the initial drafts for Project Pandemonium.
Curious.
Well, something to flag for the Architecture Review Board, perhaps?
At any rate, your primary issue is resolved.
Do let me know if you have any further difficulties.
You look like you've seen a ghost.
Let me guess. An encounter with James?
Ah, ParkSan. Yes.
He helped me, but his way of speaking is very...
Indirect.
Very British.
He wasn't criticizing you. He was inviting you to collaborate on a solution.
In this team, mistake is not the important word.
Fix is.
Remember that.
Remember that.
I will.
But he showed me something else, too.
A strange protocol.
If he showed you something that made him go quiet, that's different.
That means he trusts your discretion.
Be careful, TanakaSan.
