@realmurphy better now? We’ve updated the text that describes the plugin.

@realmurphy well maybe you find Pete’s plugins helpful. They are thoroughly written, maintained and support almost any option - even very old or rare DNS resource records. Use them and write your own deployment using ansible or anything to grab the data and provide the output you need. The plugins are open source.

Our DHCP development team was very busy in 2025! Find out more about the progress on our Kea and Stork software at https://www.isc.org/blogs/2025-dhcp-report/

@realmurphy it expands NetBox data model by adding KEA’s complete DHCP option set and allows you to set DHCP options in NetBox. Just like with the DNS plugin you take the data from there and use automation tools to build and deploy config files for any DHCP server you like.

If you are into NetBox and want to use it to help you configure DHCP this might be what you have been waiting for: https://pypi.org/project/netbox-plugin-dhcp/

It’s our first BETA release and it’s from the same author who develops the NetBox trusted DNS plugin. Please check it out and submit issues at https://github.com/sys4/netbox-plugin-dhcp if you find anything we should improve or change. 🙏

@preya @cstrotm @patrickbenkoetter will do later

It’s official and we are proud as hell! 😎

sys4 will send 3 of its experts to work at the EU commissions’ Multistakeholder Forum on Internet Standards Deployment „to guide deployment of key Internet standards under NIS2 network security measures and promote wider industry uptake.“

We - @cstrotm (DNS / DNSSEC), Gert Doering (IPv6, RPKI) and @patrickbenkoetter (TLS, DANE, MTA-STS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) - will work on recommendations and best practices.

Our intent is to recommend what’s reasonable for customer security on the Internet and we expect the one or the other company to disagree for economic reasons. Like they have disagreed since we started to talk with them more than 10 years ago. And the market didn’t fix it. Well… let’s see if working in the Forum will do the trick.

Sicherheit war kein Design-Ziel, als das Internet erdacht wurde. Sie fehlt uns heute. Mit der App von internet.nl kannst Du testen welche modernen Internet Standards (d)eine Domain implementiert. Wir haben die App ins Deutsche übersetzt, an unser Layout angepasst und ein paar Erweiterungen eingebaut: https://scan.sys4.de/

@danimo war das nicht zu der Zeit als Microsoft mit Push html ankam? Pro7 hatte auch einen News Channel über den sie täglich mehrfach News verbreitet haben. Ging nur im IE und ich weiß nicht mehr ob das der IE 4 oder eine andere Version war.

Finally, after a long Covid pause, we’re back celebrating our annually cooking event with customers, suppliers and, of course, coworkers and friends. The table is set. People are on their way to hour office in Munich. We’ll start 3 p. m. building teams and handing out recipes. And the rest is magic - as always when like minded people set out to reach out for a goal. 🥰

Unser Cap hat ein Konzert gegeben, also so in etwa...
But seriously: wir freuen uns sehr, dass unser cap so viele Freunde gefunden hat. Liegt vielleicht auch am Spruch „Viva la distribution!“ auf dessen Rückseite. 😎

All Kea admins should plan to join us next Thursday (April 20) for our next webinar, on "Netbox and Kea DHCP." Our intrepid presenter, Carsten Strotmann, will discuss both exporting Netbox data into Kea and importing lease status from Kea into Netbox, and much more!

Der Ukraine Krieg hat CISA@messages.cisa.gov wiederbelebt. Gefühlt kam da Jahre nichts und jetzt vergeht kein Tag an dem sie nicht ein oder mehrere advisories herausgeben.

Dankbar bin ich, aber dass es dafür einen Krieg braucht…
