So here’s what I’m thinking. I’ve been getting no comment love for the dedicated-to-the-task-at-hand infosec posts, so I’m going to give you a glimpse of how I find infosec in everything. (Yes, I understand that there’s probably a DSM IV page dedicated to me – move along you.)
- Practice employee security awareness techniques. And for goodness sakes do a background check – can you imagine having to work with one of these wankers?
- Increase clarity during the weekly Vulnerability Review Meeting.
- Determine that the monkey which wipes Donald Trump’s ass makes more than you make writing blog entries for the centralized log management czar.
- Decide on the most appropriate battle — are you in it for purity or just getting the damn risk under control?
- When I was a boy, real men used Pine, and whimpy girly men used Eudora. What will all of you *nix geeks be horny for next year?
- In what ways does your company leak information — I bet Steve is pissed about this one!
- Mental note, need more disk space at home — isn’t this pretty! Do you have a set of off-site backups or is someone telling you that they’ve never taken the tape out of the silo (you know who you are!)
- Palm returns to it’s Visor roots and goes coloury fantastic. But is the price going to be better? Do you have a mobile device policy?
- Have you checked your EULA/slightly_more_enforceable_contract for your internet service? You’d be surprised what you’re not allowed to do! Hint: at home, I’m not allowed to use non-interactive services on my modem connection, and I’ve got a 30GB transfer cap on a 16mb/s line! If you’re all good, why not share the joy with the child molester in the car parked outside!
- I so want to project a situation status report on the wall over my desk – and this projector has the right kind of bulb life!
- The (almost) perfect hacker food — if only it was Jolt instead of Coca-Cola — I could finally expand to fill the space between my Aeron armrests and let my flesh become one with the cooling mesh seatpan and back support.
- When you were working out that mobile device security policy, did you think about U3 drives?
- How is this different from emailing your phone’s SMS number? Oh right – because this is another half baked idea from the Bluetooth SIG which will inspire some remarkable presentation in… Las Vegas… around mid summer!
- Mmmmmmm… data storage goodness. Remember how I said I needed more space at home? Gattaca is too cheap to buy me one of these. Bitch.
- How many investors and journalists do you think had trouble getting their avatars looking appropriately sexalicious for this event? Oh and please don’t mind the grey-goo rolling restarts of the entire world.
- Anyone worried about the rise of the machines in our upholstered caves?
- I wish there were more security device programmers who care as much as Joel does about the little things. Anyone logged into a security device over HTTP lately? Anyone startled to discover that there is no support for SSL on the management console of their new security device? Yeah, me too.
- For the last goddamn time. No more default passwords in new products!
- Do something for the future — help the One Laptop project produce something of higher security standard than Trusted Computing has managed. Thanks.
- This week was Patch Tuesday — did you?
Have a lovely weekend – look forward to the return of His Royal Highness on Monday!
