i don't know if slashdot would have posted your "new" site. But thanks for sharing your links about other good (or even better security portals) that made your post worthwhile.
I'm wondering what really was the article about. did he want to brag about his (seemingly overzealous) security measures or was he really wondering what was the security field stance on his positions.
It really felt to me that this article had nothing good produced as a good base for discussion.
One last thing, there is way more the security than firewalls, passwords or security tokens. Come on! give me a break.
If he wanted a good debate on the subject he would have explained what was the result of his risk anslysis and then justify the controls to minimize those risks.
Again, it looked to me a bit like this: "look at me i have to type in a gazillion passwords to read my mail, beat that!"
I wrote my previous post only to point out the missing argumentation from your post.
I was not following the marketing annoucements (or promises) when the Xbox was launched, so I'm assuming what you are stating is true. I bought my xbox late last year when it became a lot cheaper and I was not following any announcements prior to my purchase. This also means that I had no expectation of getting free downloadable content. On the other hand.
Last month, I came across a new downloadable map in Splinter Cell (well it wasn't that new, but I don't play too often). They were asking 5$ for it. In my book 5$ for a map is not a good deal and would of liked to get it for free. So I decided not to buy it. Case closed.
I would like to state one thing, if they are willing to inform us that the game is capable of downloading content on xbox live, they should then also be forced to tell us (on the package) if they will be asking money for that content.
yes, the price difference between a xbox and a full blown gaming pc.
And notice I'm not calling you names either. I just want to point out that it is quite easy to exclude any arguments that we like (or should i say dislike).
remember that these tools aren't going to be the "end all/be all" of network security.
isn't why they are called tools and not solutions ?!?!

You can always do some MAC adress filtering and don't forget to change the default admin password (or add one if there isn't one).
Personnally, I don't like having those base stations directly on the Internet. That's why I keep them behind my Firewall (usually OpenBSD). Then you can add authpf functionnality to limit Internet access only to your authenticated users.
your comment (for me) is the same as someone saying i'm not driving a good car (considering all options: fuel efficiency, value, space) because all i need is the fastest engine. I guess ppl need really fast machines.
But heck you'll never get me off my ibook because I can't find anything wrong with it, it's the first computer i've owned that i have nothing wrong to say about. I've been a long time linux/bsd user (still am at work). But at home nothing beats how well my mac works.
Well i guess what i'm trying to say is, there is life after running after the fastest CPU, and it's damn sweet.
"What is the point? Why bother if you aren't even going to put in SMP?"
Maybe being able to use a system as a firewall/gateway that makes me sleep at night because i feel confident that it will not get h4X0red.
I really don't give a fsck if it doens't have SMP support. What's the REAL percentage of online SMP boxes anyway? I'll admit the it is really nice (and usefull) but i'm sure there's a majority of sites that simply don't need it (yet).

Don't fire the person who came up with the idea. Fire the person that said "this is a great idea! i want to use it!"
hummm...what do you actually do the last 45 minutes of that one hour install? ;)
what about reading, listening to music, watching a play, watching a live sport (not on tv) ......wow it must be boring being you ;)
Just use it with the option "Keep itunes music folder organized"
it does a great job for me.

Have a nice day sir.
Then it all fits together with episode 4 a new hope ;)
I have no idea why they decided on that name, but if mono comes from monoculture (as in the threat of a monoculture) i think it is a brilliant idea.
*sigh* I should of wrote: because the password is used only once it's not a great risk
it seems that one time passwords could help you out here.
It doesn't encrypt passwords for cleartext protocols but if the password is used only once it's not a great risk.
I used it on OpenBSD (ftp server) and it worked great.
OpenBSD S/Key FAQ section
and where would the giant lizard fit in?
for those interested in sec tools on mac OS X, here is a small list of tools to add :
rpg password generator
kismac a kismet equivalent that also includes a WEP cracker. very nice!
macanalysis a really good security tools suite
sometimes these tools are referred to as a complete solution, which is most likely a misnomer.
sooo true, I (unfortunately) witnessed it too many times.
remember that these tools aren't going to be the "end all/be all" of network security.

www.microbsd.net has the anouncement.
that link shows the game in color! WOW i wish i had that then :) It was only green on black for me, so many memories.
I liked this better: www.solucorp.qc.ca/xterminals/
especially the nice setup.sh script.
Maybe it would be a good idea to ask Mr Vixie to create a 1 656243&mode=nested">closed mailing list</a>, to better prepare for ssh security holes.
Someone will have to explain to me why they keep up with the cryptic syntax. That's one of the reasons why i switched to ipf (OpenBSD) some time ago.
Now both (iptables, ipf) have states. Can someone infom me about the advantage of iptables over ipf?
