I have been meaning to write something about "REAL ID" for a while now, so will attempt to provide an update on what's happening with this initiative and some additional food for thought.

Who's the real dummy?

2008-03-28 12:00:10 by Editor in Adventures in Security
 
So who's the real criminal in this story? The person responsible for securing the school's computers. If a 15 year-old kid armed with only a Dummies book can crack into sensitive information, someone isn't doing their job

Sorry, you will have to wait for part 2 of the theory tomorrow. I did want to comment on InfoSec Events post about " Battle of the Booth Babes ". Even though I know the author of the blog, I feel compelled...

My wife Bonnie and I don't get out to the movies as much as we used to.
