Security From A To Z
Haruki Soma writes, "Unearthed: An A to Z guide to security — from antivirus to zero-day. The writer includes the latest on the UK's newly updated Computer Misuse Act. She also pokes around rootkits, IM, and spyware, pens an ode to Gary McKinnon (aka the NASA hacker, in the 'E is for Extradition' entry), probes Google-induced Spear Phishing, and takes a look back at the Love Bug and Jaschan's Sasser." Security pros won't find much new here, but the rest of us might learn a thing or two.
A is for Adverts, and Goatse Guy's butt,
B is for Banners, what's my piece of the cut?
C is for C-Net, that page-whoring slut,
D is for Dickhead, by an ass and two nuts,
E is for Extra page views for the win,
F is for Flash, it's a whole 'nother sin,
G is for Google, do no evil (today!)
H is for Hackers, not crackers, OK?
I is for IM, "wut r u do now?"
J is for Javashit, shut it off now.
K is for Kids, 'cuz it's all for their sake,
L is for Legislators, all on the take.
M is for Microsoft, and masturbate meekly,
N is for Neologisms, which I invent weekly,
O is for Orange, with which nothing rhymes
P is for Pageviews, 26 fucking times?!
Q is for Question, WTF are you thinking?
R is for Readership, C-Net's lost a few drinking,
S is for Spammer, and spyware, and shit,
T is for Trash, Turd, and also twenty-six.
U is for Useless, the number of clicks,
V's for Vendettas on marketing pricks,
W is for Wizard, his robe and my hat,
X is for X-rated wizardly chat,
Y's what's starts "You", not the twenty-first letter,
Z is for Zero. (Shoulda wrote this poem better.)
