which would also be good for snooping on data..]]>Sep 26th 2006 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/Sep 26th 2006 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/Sep 26th 2006 11:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/Sep 28th 2006 7:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/"It is a miniature and robust computer that uses a fully hardened and secure embedded OS with the sole purpose of protecting the Windows XP platform."

Hah! I like the subtle inuendo -- Linux is secure, XP is not.


Cool device though. Very useful for enterprise users and admins.]]>Sep 27th 2006 12:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/Sep 27th 2006 1:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/Sep 27th 2006 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/
Also, what about Wireless networks. How is it going to monitor them?

Don't get me wrong, here, I'd love one of these to play with. I'm just asking questions that werent answered in TFA.]]>Sep 27th 2006 1:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/
Now, if this thing can do a full L2TP IPSec VPN I'd buy one in a heartbeat.]]>Sep 27th 2006 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/
An /optional/ low level driver allows the unit to wedge itself between your OS and your WiFi, so that your wireless traffic is filtered too.

(I don't know if this would be of any help for those exploits that take advantage of flaws in the wireless device drivers, such as the recent Broadcom driver fiasco.)]]>Dec 14th 2006 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/yoggies-mini-computer-offloads-security-duties/ -- FTA
" The Linux-based device has a pair of Ethernet ports, one for taking in the unwashed internets, and one for sending the newly-scourged connection to your computer. "

That means you plug your computer into this device via a network cable, and then on the OTHER FREE port on the device, you plug in your internet connection.

Let me try to text-diagram it (forgive me, I am far from an artist)

YOUR COMPUTER
| -- your ethernet port
| -- Yoggie port 1
YOGGIE DEVICE
| -- Yoggie port 2

"The solution is comprised of multiple Yoggie Gatekeepers and a single Yoggie Management Server to centrally manage the Yoggie Gatekeepers in the field."
