I've heard of multiple network stacks with net.alt before, but only as a gimmick. Thanks for grounding this discussion of it in practicality and security!
I'm wondering if it would be possible for an external system to mount the network device isolating machines on the internal network. Theoretically would this allow an external system access to the isolated network through the firewall-like system? I hope that makes sense. Overall im curious how a Plan 9 network can be pentested.
I've done setups where I make a virtual ethernet device inside a grid, then allow an outside system to mount that device, giving it an internal ethernet with internal IP address, and even included it in /lib/ndb/local. Something like that?
In this video I set up something like that. ua-cam.com/video/OVHtNQyo1FM/v-deo.html Near the end I show how a computer "ShatPi", which sits outside the network, imports a virtual ethernet device inside the network.
Obscure fact: Go was was originally built using the Plan 9 C compilers. For that reason, Go has been available on Plan 9 systems from the beginning. I may do a video showing how to install it on 9Front, since there is a process to it.
I deal with a fairly typical network stack for work. I love these videos for seeing the world that could have been. 😂

@adventuresin9797 yes, exactly like that.

Fun fact: The main creator of Plan 9 is Rob Pike, he went to Google and help create the Go programming language

@@adventuresin9 I love stuff like this.
I wonder is there still an old ncp stack that can run plan9? :-)
Not that I'm aware of. But the code for Bell Labs' IL protocol is still around.

oops. I'll add it. this is the link ua-cam.com/video/Wqu7fEdvUGs/v-deo.html
@@adventuresin9 thanks!
