Predicting User Behavior to Improve Security
CitizenC writes "New computer-monitoring software designed to second-guess the intentions of individual system users could be close to perfect at preventing security breaches, say researchers. Read more." The paper (pdf) is online as well.

NO! NO! Please don't mod me, I'm too young to die a troll. *click* Oh the pain, the pain...

They can't fire us all.
You think that I'm crazy, you should see this guy!
Oh wait. That wouldn't be unusual. DAMMIT!
A user's creativeness to mess things up never ceases to amaze.
Or as one of the corollaries to Murphy's Law states: "No matter how idiot-proof you make something, an ingenious idiot in the field will find a workaround."
Um, that's Godel's Theorem.

I think that just about sums it up. ;-)

Would you to start the IIS hacking wizard?
Would you like to view a list of the top 1,000 exploits?
Never show this prompt again, its already too easy to hack IIS.

it'd be like...
:;do for IP in `cat /var/log/httpd/access_log|awk '{print $2}'`; do /usr/sbin/iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp -s $IP/32 -j DROP;done;done or something like that. Yeah. I got your AI right here.

Pop up a dialog:
"It looks like you are trying to hack into this system. Would you like me to start the Hacking Wizard for you?"
If you want to get rid of the bathwater, you've got to throw out a few babies.

:)
Prediction: Users cause security breaches.
Near-perfect solution: Eliminate all users.
