The web infrastructure company and CDN provider Cloudflare has announced that it is expanding its Zero Trust firewall capabilities to help organizations secure their entire corporate networks. While traditional firewalls consist of hardware boxes installed on company premises, they weren't designed for employees working from home or for cloud applications. In order to meet this challenge, some organizations have turned to “virtualized” firewalls though they face many of the same challenges as hardware appliances do such as capacity planning and managing primary/backup devices. For this reason, Cloudflare has announced that it will expand the functionality of its cloud firewall so that CIOs can better secure their entire corporate network, apply Zero Trust policies to all traffic and gain deeper network visibility. At the same time, since the company's firewall runs everywhere, CIOs will no longer need to rely on centralizing traffic on one box in one location whether it be physical or virtual. Oahu Program In addition to expanding its Zero Trust firewall capabilities, Cloudflare has also announced the launch of its new Oahu Program. The new program helps organizations with their Zero Trust migration by providing new capabilities and resources to simply and easily import policies from legacy firewall boxes to Cloudflare's cloud-native service. However, eligible organizations can qualify for discounts on the company's Zero Trust firewall solution to help mitigate the cost of switching. Cloudflare is also sweetening the deal by entering companies that deprecate hardware firewalls in a contest to win a trip to Oahu, Hawaii. Co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare, Matthew Prince explained in a press release how its new Oahu Program will make it easier for organizations to leave legacy tech behind, saying: “CIOs know that the corporate network is changing fast, and we want to help make that transition easy, flexible, and scalable. When working from everywhere became possible, workers migrated from legacy locations like Palo Alto to work wherever they wanted. With our Oahu Program, we are making it easy for companies to leave legacy tech behind in favor of an everywhere firewall delivered from the cloud.”

Rabat – The three leaders of Morocco’s coalition parties -- Al Istiqlal Party, Authenticity and Modernity Party (PAM), and National Rally of Independents (RNI) -- met on Monday to conclude a majority pact. The signing ceremony took place at the headquarters of the RNI in Rabat. The Head of Government and Secretary-General of the RNI Aziz Akhannouch, alongside PAM’s Abdellatif Ouahbi and Al Istiqlal Party’s Nizar Baraka discussed the charter of their commitment to working together to improve synergies. Akhannouch described the pact as “a governmental alliance of trust, mutual respect and harmonious collective actions.” The government coalition “reflects collective commitment” that aims to achieve ambition goals of the new government and boost interactions and decision-making while achieving public policies’ effectiveness and future social and economic reforms, he suggested. “The majority charter is an institutional and political framework that defines the methods of cooperation between various government and parliamentary institutions,” said RNI in a statement. According to the statement, the governmental pact also aims to consolidate, deepen, and structure the relations between the three political parties that will implement new legislation for the five-year term to meet the expectations of the Moroccan people. The new legislation is expected to tackle pressing issues on both the domestic and international fronts such as managing the COVID-19 crisis and the ongoing political row with Algeria. Under the newly signed pact, the coalition government renewed its pledge to achieve the forthcoming reforms in the economic, social, cultural and environmental fields and enshrine the rule of law, human rights and freedoms. The charter fits within the framework of solidarity, good governance, improving social protection to enhance Moroccans’ purchasing power, provide more inclusive access to social services, create more job opportunities, and defend Morocco’s sovereignty and national territory. Since the appointment of the new government following this year’s general elections, Moroccans are setting high expectations for Akhannouch to improve social protection programs, education, health, and employment.

A few years ago miniature retro consoles were all the rage. Powered by a range of Arm SoC, these boards, often officially licensed from Sony, Nintendo and NEC, housed emulators which provided a little nostalgia for those of a certain age. We were not immune to these consoles and duly purchased a Super Nintendo and PlayStation 1 but drew the line for the Commodore 64. Before these consoles existed many retrogaming enthusiasts made their own consoles using the Raspberry Pi and this led to an active emulation scene led by RetroPie and Recalbox distributions. Retroflag has a retro console lineage, with Sega Genesis, NES, Super Nintendo and GameBoy cases designed for use with various models of Raspberry Pi. It latest product, the $24 SuperPi 4, is a Raspberry Pi 4 specific case that follows the European / Japanese design of the Super Nintendo (Super Famicom in Japan). The case is very detailed and even feels like the classic 16-bit console. At a glance it could also be mistaken for the official Super Nintendo mini console (SNES Mini). With glee we hurriedly put our case, kindly supplied by The Pi Hut, together and relived an era where Ryu’s Dragon Punch reigned supreme. The build process for Retroflag’s SuperPi 4 is simple and the included instructions leaflet reflects the simplicity with just a few steps to show installation. Using the included screwdriver and bits we had our Raspberry Pi 4 secure inside the case with power and micro HDMI ports to the rear. The case has breakout connections for the front USB 2.0 ports and for a small 5V fan to keep the Raspberry Pi 4 cool. This is a case for retrogaming so don’t expect any cutouts or ports for the official Raspberry Pi camera and display. Hidden under a flap on the left side are our USB 3 and Ethernet ports. If you look closely you can see that the ports are mislabelled on the flap, most likely an oversight in the tooling used to make the case as this case is also available in a Pi 2 / 3 configuration. The cartridge slot is where we can hide our micro SD cards, but do make sure to store them in the center of the slot. The hinge, to the left and right of the slot, will snap trapped cards. The included cartridge hides a secret. A magnet on the underside of the case is used to secure the cartridge to the console via another secret magnet in the micro SD card storage area. With the cartridge installed, pressing eject will slowly reveal the hidden cache of cards. If you want a clean look to the console, then perhaps omit the cartridge. Flanking the eject button are replicas of the power and reset controls and yes they work. You are probably already aware that no model of Raspberry Pi comes with a power button and the inclusion of these features in the SuperPi 4 case is most welcome and accurate to the console. With the Pi secure inside, we inserted our RetroPie micro SD card (see how to install RetroPie) into the right hand slot, lovingly hidden from sight so as not to spoil the Super Nintendo illusion. The front two USB 2.0 ports are for our controllers and we elected to connect an 8Bitdo Super Nintendo controller for nostalgia’s sake. Using RetroPie, we “vigorously tested” a series of Super Nintendo games and found that everything was well. This was to be expected as the Super Nintendo is not the most challenging console to emulate. In fact Super Nintendo emulation is possible with the Raspberry Pi Zero W, with only a handful of SuperFX (a custom 3D engine chip developed by Argonaut) games causing issues. The ease of emulation means that the Raspberry Pi 4 never breaks a sweat when emulating up to 16-bit consoles and arcade hardware. Surface temperature on the top of the unit was tepid. We could feel the warmth of the Raspberry Pi’s quad core Arm SoC. On the underside, where the Pi is nearer to the case is a slightly warmer experience, though that’s . nothing to worry about for light emulation. If we were to emulate PlayStation 1, Nintendo 64 or PSP then we would need to fully utilize the CPU and perhaps even overclock to achieve a smoother framerate; we’d then need to add our own fan. If we were to emulate these consoles then we would definitely need to add our own fan. On the PCB for the two USB controller ports, there is a fan header for a 30 x 30 x 7mm 5V fan which can be secured to the lower section of the case to draw air into the case. The placement of the fan isn’t optimal as it is further forward than the Raspberry Pi, but the airflow will help to keep the Pi from thermal throttling. A short heatsink would provide an extra level of cooling. This is a good looking case; it almost looks official. The relative low cost and good looks will be a draw to those eager to emulate the 16-bit era. If your retro tastes are a little more “modern,” then you will need to add cooling and this is an extra cost. Those users should perhaps seek out an all-metal case which can do better passive cooling such as the Akasa Gem Pro. If you just want to emulate the classics from the 1980s and 90s, then this case is for you and you will love how good it looks in your lounge.

Raptor Lake is Intel’s range of next-gen processors expected to come out in 2022, and we’ve just seen the first purported benchmark of these CPUs. As highlighted by regular hardware leaker Komachi_Ensaka on Twitter, what could be the 13th-gen flagship processor has been sighted in a BAPCo Crossmark benchmark as Tom’s Hardware reports. Note that the benchmark has since been removed – of course, it shouldn’t have been aired in the first place – but not before Tom’s screen grabbed and shared the news. According to the details given here, the spec that the chip runs with is eight performance cores (new Raptor Cove cores), and 16 efficiency cores (Gracemont cores – the same as with Alder Lake). This is what was previously rumored, and gives the processor a theoretical 32-threads (as efficiency cores don’t have hyper-threading). The benchmark itself shows the Raptor Lake CPU hitting an overall score of 1,591, which compares to a result of 2,376 for the Core i9-12900K, Intel’s new Alder Lake flagship. Analysis: Don’t read much into an early engineering sample It’s no surprise – assuming this benchmark is genuine, which is always a bit of a leap of faith with very early leaks – to see that Raptor Lake is a good deal slower than Alder Lake at this point in its development (the 12900K is almost 50% faster here, in fact). Obviously, when the Raptor Lake flagship is finished, that won’t be the case (if it wasn’t measurably faster, Intel would go back to the drawing board until it was). What’s happening here is because this is a very early testing sample, it’s doubtless locked to slow clock speeds and doesn’t remotely reflect the performance of the final product which should emerge later in 2022 (maybe in Q3). Right now, Raptor Lake will still have plenty of optimization to be done on both the hardware and software fronts. The theory is that Intel’s 13th-gen CPUs will be a simple refresh of Alder Lake, but it’s bound to make some decent architectural gains as Intel refines its new hybrid tech, and obviously the addition of more efficiency cores – a lot more if these early rumors are right – should make a considerable difference to performance too. There is also speculation about Raptor Lake taking some big strides forward in terms of power-efficiency as well, so we can still remain quietly optimistic about what the next-gen might bring.

In a shocking revelation, cybersecurity researchers have discovered over 200 bugs in Wi-Fi routers made by nine po[CENSORED]r manufacturers, suggesting that millions of the most common devices around the world are vulnerable to attacks. Researchers from IoT Inspector and CHIP examined devices from Asus, AVM, D-Link, Netgear, Edimax, TP-Link, Synology, and Linksys, and found a total of 226 potential security vulnerabilities. "The test negatively exceeded all expectations for secure home and small business routers. Not all vulnerabilities are equally critical - but at the time of the test, all devices showed significant security vulnerabilities that could make a hacker’s life much easier," said Florian Lukavsky, CTO of IoT Inspector.

Not all vulnerabilities are equally critical - but at the time of the test, all devices showed significant security vulnerabilities that could make a hacker’s life much easier," said Florian Lukavsky, CTO of IoT Inspector. Greater accountability According to the researchers, some of the security issues were detected across multiple devices, generally because of outdated software. They fathom that, since integrating a new kernel into the firmware is a costly affair, all of the tested routers were running dated versions of the Linux kernel. Similarly, additional services, such as multimedia streaming or VPN, were usually found to be powered by outdated software. When contacted by the researchers, all of the manufacturers quickly responded by releasing firmware patches to resolve the issues. The researchers also used the opportunity to point out that the coalition agreement of the new German government seeks to hold manufacturers accountable for vulnerabilities in their products. “This increases the pressure on the industry to continuously secure products in order to avoid immense claims for damages,” point out the researchers. Batten down the hatches with the help of the best firewall apps and services, and ensure your computers are protected with these best endpoint protection tools. With almost two decades of writing and reporting on Linux, Mayank Sharma would like everyone to think he’s TechRadar Pro’s expert on the topic. Of course, he’s just as interested in other computing topics, particularly cybersecurity, cloud, containers, and coding.

Rabat – The Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Rabat announced on December 2 that it will repatriate Saudi citizens from Morocco. The decision came after Morocco suspended all flights for two weeks as part of its strategy to prevent the Omicron variant from spreading to Morocco. The Embassy informed Saudi citizens in a tweet that the repatriation flights are yet to be scheduled and will be exclusively operated by Saudi Arabia Airlines from Casablanca, noting that interested persons must still have a valid return ticket from the same company. The diplomatic representation urged those who did not have their plane ticket yet, to purchase it from the Saudi Arabian Airlines sales offices in Casablanca. The list of countries that have scheduled repatriation flights for their citizens stuck in Morocco continues to grow. On November 30, Royal Air Maroc (RAM) announced that it is preparing special flights from Morocco to Canada, Spain, and Italy for December 4. RAM also announced that special flights from Morocco to France will take place from November 30 to December 6. Meanwhile, low-cost Irish carrier Ryanair has decided to cancel all its flights until February 2020, explaining in a statement that uncertainty over Morocco’s decision to suspend all flights has affected 160,000 Ryanair customers. The two-week travel ban comes amidst mounting concerns over the new variant, with the country seeking to preserve the progress it made so far in curbing the COVID-19 crisis.

Rabat – Amid fears of escalating tensions between Algeria and Morocco, many Algerian officials have voiced their concern over deepening security cooperation between Morocco and Israel. According to reports in Algerian media, the recent signing of a security agreement between Rabat and Tel-Aviv has convinced many senior officials in Algiers that Morocco is preparing itself for a potential conflict with its eastern neighbor. Although none of the countries want to create further instability and war in the region, officials in Algeria say they are ready for an all-out war with Morocco, French news outlet L’Opinion has reported. The French newspaper quoted sources close to the Algerian military as stressing that collaboration between the Israeli military and Morocco’s Royal Armed Forces may prove game-changing, as “in three years, Morocco’s military will overshadow Algeria’s.” “Algeria does not want war with Morocco, but it is ready to do it,” one source told L’Opinion, emphasizing that if a war is to break “it has to be today, because we are militarily superior at all levels, which may not be the case in a few years.” With the re-establishment of relations between Rabat and Tel Aviv, Alger is anxious about the military imbalance that may result from deeper security cooperation between Israel and Morocco. “The weapons that worry Algerians the most are those related to electronic warfare and drones,” L’Opinion quoted its source as saying. Read Also: Morocco Purchases Israel’s Skylock Dome System Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has sold to Morocco kamikaze drones for $22 million. The kamikaze drone in question, Harop, carries 20 kg of explosives and can remain in the air for up to seven hours, with a range of up to 1,000 kilometers. Although Alger boasts about its developed military equipment, it considers the Kamikaze drones as a strong system that might defeat its army. The appointment of the Moroccan-Israeli Amir Peretz as head of IAI will further accentuate the paranoia in Algeria, L’Opinion said. Born in the city of Bejaad in the Moroccan province of Beni-mellal-Khenifra, Peretz has never renounced his Moroccan nationality. For Algerian sources quoted by L'Opinion, at stake between Morocco and Algeria is the “leadership in the region.” As Algeria aims to regain its position among the strongest military powers in Africa, the sources stressed, “we must implement a more aggressive diplomatic strategy.” L’Opinion’s article recalled that Algeria spends more money on its army than Morocco. “Over the last ten years, Algiers has bought twice as much equipment ($10.5 billion) as Morocco ($4.5).” In August, Algeria cut diplomatic ties with Morocco and has since intensified its actions to challenge Morocco’s territorial integrity. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune said in interviews with the Algerian press that his government is determined to sustain tensions with Morocco and refuses all kind of mediation to end the rift between the two neighbors.
