2007-12-29 00:01:21 by Evan Francen in The Breach Blog
...twist in this breach is the use of production data in support and test functions. I can't tell you how many times I have butted heads with programmers that insisted on using real data for code testing. Developers should ONLY use fabricated and/or sanitized data for testing, no exceptions I am a Minnesota resident. This is the second breach...

Another twist to keep AV vendors on their toes

2008-02-21 08:17:49 by Editor in Adventures in Security
 
Malware developers have been switching to targeted attacks for some time. This usually consists of going after a specific organization or individuals associated with that organization (e.g. customers and employees). However, this can leave out a large number of user groups--user groups with similar cultural interests

My Review of Tiger Team

2007-12-27 00:27:16 by Bill in Grumpy Security Guy
 
...twist. In my book that makes for some good TV. I really enjoy It Takes a Thief which is basically two reformed thieves breaking into peoples houses. I always thought it would be cool to do that with businesses, since really most homes have pretty weak defenses. Clearly it was a great idea since that is what Tiger Team does If you are looking...

The new flavor, 802.11af, will be ratified...

And yes, Im old enough to remember the BNC days Duplex and Simplex Most often, youll be using duplex fiber, which consists of a pair of fiber for bi-directional communication.

Stealing Phorm Cookies

2008-04-22 17:49:01 by Richard Clayton in Light Blue Touchpaper
 
...twist on this was suggested by Barrie in one of the comments to my earlier post . If the remote website obtains an account at the visitors ISP (BT, Talk Talk or Virgin in the UK), then they can construct an advert request to the Phorm system, using the Phorm identifier of one of their visitors.

...twist is that little Pablo or Teresa is safe and sound at school, not duct-taped to a chair in a rundown flophouse somewhere or stuffed in the back of a pirate taxi.
