In case you missed Day-0 and Day-1 for the IETF 103 hackathon by the cyberstorm.mu team, feel free to have a look. I should admit that Day-2 was a more relaxed day for the SSH team compared to those working for the TLS 1.3 and HTTP 451 projects. Several PR’s sent for all the three tracks which are HTTP 451, SSH and TLS 1.3. It’s more about the testing.

It looks that we had enough time to discuss even more about our future move for the next IETF hackathon. All teams were ready with the patches and several Pull Requests sent. We seized the opportunity to discuss several aspects and experience during the hackathon. Overall, the IETF 103 hackathon went well for all the three tracks.

As regards for the NetSSH project which I worked there was a comment from Mzafekas on Github: “

@jmutkawoa thanks much for the PR. Since this is in some means a breaking change, this would be in the next major version.”

I’m glad that we will have the RC4 deprecated in the new version of NetSSH. We had our live presentation remotely from Mauritius during the IETF 103 hackathon live in Bangkok, Thailand. You can view the presentation here:

IETF Hackathons encourage developers to collaborate and develop utilities, ideas, sample code and solutions that show practical implementations of IETF standards. More than 200 participants have gathered in Bangkok to make the Internet work better.

As usual, someone got an idea to do a mega splash in the pool with the slow-motion video which is pretty nice 🙂

I’m glad that TheRegister also published an interesting article about RC4 deprecation. At cyberstorm.mu, we are also looking forward to the next IETF 104 hackathon which has been scheduled remotely at Prague, Czech.
