okay: i have been ever so quiet lately. that message being said to all five of you out there. lol.
Schneier on Security: Tactics, Targets, and Objectives
i love this opening paragraph:
“If you encounter an aggressive lion, stare him down. But not a leopard; avoid his gaze at all costs. In both cases, back away slowly; don’t run. If you stumble on a pack of hyenas, run and climb a tree; hyenas can’t climb trees. But don’t do that if you’re being chased by an elephant; he’ll just knock the tree down. Stand still until he forgets about you.”
he then goes on to use that as an illustration of security prevention in the wired, reckless world.
good read.
