Solution
Cisco had dropped support for DES with the 4.0(2) VPN client’s release. So the VPN Client doesn’t support combination of  cipher/hash (in this case, DES/SHA1)
But the VPN Client continues to support DES/MD5. However, support for DES/SHA is no longer available, and Release 3.7 and later VPN Clients cannot connect to any central-site device group that is configured for (or proposing) DES/SHA. The VPN Client must either connect to a different group or the system administrator for the central-site device must change the configuration from DES/SHA to DES/MD5 or another supported configuration.

How to import Putty Saved Connections to mRemoteNG

Just started using mRemoteNG and its being very cool to connect to different remote connection with different protocols e.g Window Remote Desktop, VNC to Linux, SSH, HTTP connection etc. from a single application. As new user I configured some remote desktop connection which was quite easy to figure out. But when I wanted to add SSH connections, it came in my mind to import all of the saved connections in the putty. But I couldn't figure it out how can it be done, though it was quite easy and here are the steps. Open your mRemoteNG Create a folder if you want segregation of multiple networks Create a new connection Enter the IP address of remote server under connection in Config pane Under the config pane, select protocol " SSH version 2 ".  Once you select protocol to SSH version 2 you are given option to import putty sessions, as shown in the snap below. In the above snap, I have imported CSR-AWS session from my saved sessions in Putty.

Understanding PKI The Complete Process Explained

The Complete Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) Process: From Key Generation to Certificate Verification Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is the backbone of secure communication on the internet. It ensures that sensitive data exchanged between clients and servers remains private and authentic. This blog post will guide you through the entire PKI process, from generating keys to verifying certificates and ensuring they haven't been revoked. 1. Key Pair Generation The first step in PKI is generating a public-private key pair using an asymmetric cryptographic algorithm, such as RSA or ECDSA: The private key is securely stored on the server and never shared. The public key is included in the certificate and shared with the Certificate Authority (CA) during the certificate request process. This key pair enables encryption and decryption, which are essential for secure communication. 2. Creating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) The server creates a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) to...

AS Path Prepending: Controlling Inbound Traffic in BGP

AS Path Prepending is a BGP feature used to make a specific path appear less preferred by artificially lengthening the AS path. This is done by adding your AS number multiple times to the AS path. It is a common method to influence inbound traffic from external networks. Longer AS Path = Less preferred route . Example Scenario : You have two ISPs: ISP1 (through CE1) and ISP2 (through CE2). You want inbound traffic from the internet to prefer ISP1 over ISP2. Network Topology : CE1 (connected to ISP1): 10.0.1.1/30 CE2 (connected to ISP2): 10.0.2.1/30 iBGP Router (Internal) connected to both CE1 (10.0.1.2/30) and CE2 (10.0.2.2/30). Configuration on CE2 (AS Path Prepending to Make ISP2 Less Preferred) : Create a route map to prepend your AS path multiple times for CE2: route-map PREPEND_AS permit 10 set as-path prepend 65001 65001 65001 Apply this route map to the neighbor in the BGP configuration for CE2: router bgp 65001 neighbor 10.0.2.1 remote-as 65002 neighbor 10.0.2.1 ro...
