The Article has images
2008-04-15 08:47:01 by HASH0x8b572d0 in StillSecure, After All These Years
Matt Asay has become rather predictible. Say anything negative at all about open source and out comes the Utah bulldog from the dog house straining to break free of his leash. Now Matt is saying that the McAfee folks have libeled open source in a recent white paper they released on botnets. Here is the quote in question Taking the bot controller...

My Open Wireless Network

2008-01-15 03:33:22 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
Whenever I talk or write about my own security setup, the one thing that surprises people -- and attracts the most criticism -- is the fact that I run an open wireless network at home. There's no password. There's no encryption. Anyone with wireless capability who can see my network can use it to access the internet To me, it's basic politeness....

Matt Asay again shows that he doesn't know much about open source security

2008-05-15 22:43:17 by HASH0x8b563c4 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
I often comment or blog disagreeing with Matt Asay and his views on open source and security. Frankly from the comments Matt leaves back, I think he views me as a pain in his butt and why if I don't agree with him do I read his blog. I read Matt's blog because I often do agree with him, but I also read it because I think it important that just...

Train keeps a rollin' around open source

2008-01-29 07:34:20 by HASH0x8b75cb4 in StillSecure, After All These Years

Trend vs Barracuda - its not about open source, its about the money!

2008-06-13 22:39:19 by HASH0x8c11980 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
Interesting interview with the CEO of Trend, Eva Chen at PC World on the Barracuda patent infringement suit that Trend has brought. A couple of things are pretty clear reading Chen's responses to the questions 1. This law suit is being fought as much in the court of public opinion as it is in the courts of law. For that Dean and the Barracuda...
