Curiosity in Practice
I will be giving a talk at Secureworld Expo in St.Louis on September 13th on the topic:
What we can learn from LULZSEC (Yes I am trying to get the picture changed).
I really think there are a ton of lessons the average security professional can take from the mayhem they caused that they shouldn’t have been able to.
I’d love to see you there.
Do you 2FA? No its not a cool new dance. It stands for two factor authentication and its a great way to secure your accounts.
If you have a smart phone you have no good excuse not to take advantage of the extra security banks, email providers and social networks are building into their websites.
Its as simple as keeping your normal password and getting an extra “one use” password texted to you or using an application like Google Authenticator.
Popular websites that use 2FA are:
Enabling these feature will make hacking your account many times harder than with just a basic password alone.
So everyone 2FA!
Landon happened to see my old NES and Zapper in my bedroom the other day and just had to play it. So after it getting it all hooked up and blasting ducks for a couple hours the kid was hooked.
After spending most of the last week blasting ducks (although I didnt get to level 100) we went to slackers and for $8 picked up the only two zapper games they had:
Hogans Ally
Barker Bill’s Trick Shooting
I would still love to find Wild Gunman and Mechanized Attack so If you happen to have those two games sitting in a pile I will give you $4 each for them.
With both Facebook and Google Hangouts for the first time making a webcam a “must have” for good online communications I went out and found these 720P webcams on Amazon $30 so I bought 3 of them.
Microsoft LifeCam HD-5000 720p HD Webcam
They work awesome in Windows 7 and (surprisingly) Ubuntu.
