RANCID Description
RANCID monitors the configuration of a router (or any device) and uses CVS, Subversion, or Git to keep track of changes. RANCID also has looking glass software. It is based on Ed Kern's looking glass which was once used for http://nitrous.digex.net/, for the old-school folks who remember it. Our version adds functions, supports cisco and juniper and foundry, and uses the login scripts included with rancid. It can connect to your devices using telnet and ssh. Rancid supports Allied Telesis switches with AW+, Cisco routers and Juniper routers. It also supports Catalyst switches and Foundry switches (now Brocade), Redback NASs and ADC EZT3 muxes. It can also connect to HP Procurve switches, Alteon switches, MRTd (and therefore likely IRRd), and Alteon switches.

JDisc Discovery
JDisc Discovery is a powerful IT asset management and network discovery tool, designed to provide organizations with clear, real-time insights into their entire IT environment. By automatically scanning the network, it identifies and catalogs devices, from physical servers and workstations to virtual machines and network appliances, giving users a detailed inventory of their assets. The tool captures essential data such as hardware specifications, installed software, system configurations, and interdependencies among devices.
A key advantage of JDisc Discovery is its agentless architecture. Rather than requiring installation on each device, it uses multiple protocols (like SNMP, SSH, WMI) to gather information, ensuring quick deployment and compatibility across various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Unix. This makes it ideal for diverse and dynamic IT ecosystems, enabling efficient and non-intrusive data collection.

Passwordless Authentication and Passwordless Security
It’s no secret — passwords can be a real headache, both for the people who use them and the people who manage them. Over time, we’ve created hundreds of passwords, it’s easy to lose track of them and they’re easily compromised. Fortunately, passwordless authentication is becoming a feasible reality for many businesses. Duo can help you get there.
