Overkill: The Home Edition

Presented at PhreakNIC 21 (2017), Nov. 4, 2017, 7 p.m. (60 minutes).

Home networks used to be simple and manageable. Today, to do things right, you need to be a network and security team all in one. Come with me on a journey from a simple flat insecure network to something better. Something that is manageable, secure, and defensible for the users. A network that is, for the builder, a lab for learning and developing skills.
