Intrusion Detection For Your PC Case

Anonymous Coward writes "Ryan du Bois, from genbukan security (aka red0x), has created a chassis intrusion detection system for your computer box: the actual physical case. He also wrote a paper describing three separate implementations of this CIDS system: Contacts, Pressure switchs, and a PLA (programmable microchip). Included in his paper are complete designs for the first two and a promise for the last to come soon. Definitely worth a read. The paper is available in many formats including OpenOffice 1.0, HTML , TEXT and a Tarball of them all. You can also obtain the signatures as well as his Automated Security Tools Project, of which this is a member."

You need a PLD for that?

Is that guy a moron or what? Why the fuck would you use an FPGA / PLD for that? Just hook a few normally closed switches up in series. That's what happens when a moron takes a digital electronics class. Soon, some "genius" will think up of a way to make a microprocessor-controlled power switch for their goddamn case.
Wow, I never knew slashdot editors were THAT stupid.

Slashdot: News for Nerds

Below that, they should have a little disclaimer: Please leave all pretentious wanking at the door. You can pick it up when you leave. Thank you.

Most of us Karma Whores (I use the power of .NET to Karma Whore for me, I'm cool!) at least take the time and care and love to post the URL to the previous Slashdot story that's identical to the one we're complaining about. Since you included no url, you have no valid reason for the story to be redundant. Since you gave no reasons for the story to be pointless, I'm guessing you have none.

Your mods would have been metamodded out of existence.

Jackass.
