  • Publication number: 20160308828
    Abstract: A method for preventing network attacks on baseboard management controllers. The method includes receiving, by the network controller, a packet from a computer networking device on a computer network, where the packet is destined for a baseboard management controller (BMC); determining, by the network controller, whether the packet contains a tag identifying that the packet has been determined to be free of suspicious or malicious traffic; on condition that the packet has been determined to not contain the tag, sending the packet to a network inspection module, by the network controller, to be inspected for suspicious or malicious traffic; and on condition that the packet has been determined to contain the tag, sending the packet to the BMC by the network controller using a side band interface.

  • Publication number: 20150067402
    Abstract: A processor-implemented method provides a remote diagnosis for an information appliance via a secure connection. A command is received from a console, and an examination is performed to determine whether or not the command is permitted to be issued. In response to a remote diagnostic module being initiated, a determination is made as to whether a secure connection to a remote information appliance has been created. In response to determining that the secure connection to the remote information appliance has been created, the command is transmitted to the remote information appliance via the secure connection.
