    (For the benefit of the typical /. reader, when I say "pull their plug" I'm not talking about some sexual act. I mean disconnect them from the network.)

    I strongly second this post!

    I'm studying for a CISSP cert and have found Secrets and Lies to be informative and inspiring.

    I know some people who could use minix to open their minds.

    Of course this leads one's imagination to the solution for power outages, ... explosive bolts!

    I'm sure the permits will be a piece of cake to get.

  7. It's less secure! on Barcode-Controlled Home? · · Score: 1

    This door has all the vulnerabilities of the physical key PLUS all the vulnerabilities of the new barcode system.

    It's like putting a pair of firewalls in parallel. An intruder only needs to know how to bypass one of them to be into your soft and chewy insides.

    He needs a back door. D'oh!

    Us Debian weenies have exim installed by default. This Debian weenie does prefer to "apt-get install postfix". What is this Sendmail thing that everyone keeps talking about?

  11. Re:Honeypots are awesome. on Linux Security: Reflections on 2002, Eye on 2003 · · Score: 1

    I read his comments differently. He wasn't against honeypots, he just felt they were overdeployed. I think if you don't have a lot of time to devote to building and maintaining one they are of limited value. It may be more time saving to copy the defenses of those who do take the time to learn the latest exploits. Face it, if you don't spend a bunch of energy on your IDS then it's a toy.

    And what exactly did he say? Reinvent? What? How?

    Does that scare the shit out of you too?

    --- THIS IS AN AUTOMATED MESSAGE ---
    Hey there,

    Since I've been getting so much junk mail recently, I've had to put a new
    system in to stop it. There is no record of you having sent me any e-mail from
    this address in the past, so I need you to verify your e-mail. You can do that
    by just replying to this message. Once you've done that, I'll get the message
    you just sent me, and your address will be added to my list so that this
    system will never bother you again.

    If you couldn't be bothered reading that last bit then JUST SEND A REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE.

    Oh, and when you reply, please don't change the subject line of the message. It
    breaks things. Thanks.

    Thanks

    Jason
