Report on Lok Technologies and its founder Simon Lok, a 26-year-old with three |
|
Masters degrees and most of a PhD. Lok's current product is a box for |
|
Wireless ISPs (WISPs) that includes registration, administration, |
|
routing/firewall, and more. |
|
Of course the "Airlok" is based on OpenBSD. |
|
J. Russ Grant, technical manager at American Airlines, likes the Airlok: |
|
<blockquote>because it takes a "tough love" approach; when it spots a virus |
|
on a computer, it automatically blocks that machine, "blackholing" the user, |
|
and notifies Grant... "The Airlok has the best firewall I have ever seen," |
|
says Grant, who believes the product could even change the Web itself. |
|
"Imagine if Comcast or other ISPs started using Airloks. |
|
If someone got a virus, the system would just shut that person down |
|
before it could spread. This could make hackers obsolete." |
|
</blockquote> |
|
Maybe a bit of hyperbole, but the product does look good, and serves |
|
as an example of what you can do with OpenBSD as a base. |
