2008-07-23 19:00:00 by Bruce Schneier in Wired Security
 
...ridiculous to believe he would be the last. Don't shoot the messenger. The problem is with the DNS protocol; it's insecure The real lesson is that the patch treadmill doesn't work, and it hasn't for years.

With news that they are resurrecting the old Get Smart parody of the James Bond spy series in a new movie, I cant wait to see what ridiculous and useless security measures they dream up.

Captching

Dennis Groves just sent me this, made me chuckle. Earlier this year an XSS Worm contest was going on. A few people got passionate about the ethics but essentially everyone watched on to an anticipated dull outcome.
