  • Passwords are here to stay

    At least for the short to medium term. That is the, quite obvious, conclusion drawn in a Newsweek article entitled "Building a Better Password." The article goes inside the CyLab at Carnegie-Mellon University to understand how passwords may one day be replaced. It is interesting reading all...

  • And finally, standard user malware

    Today I finally got wind of my first piece of true standard user malware. MS Antispyware 2008 has turned standard user. The version in question installs the binaries in c:\documents and settings\all users\application data\<something>, and makes itself resident by infecting HKCU\...\Run. Curiously...

  • Please do not e-mail my social security number

    Recently I had a very interesting incident. I wrote an article some time in 2008 and the publisher paid me a little bit of money for it. That means the publisher must send a report to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS - the U.S. tax department) reporting that they paid me, as well as send me a form called...

  • Anatomy of a Hack 2008

    A few years ago I delivered a very popular presentation I called "Anatomy of a Hack." Well, actually, I called it "How to Get Your Network Hacked in 10 Easy Steps" but the marketing department at my previous employer thought that title was a bit, edgy, so they renamed it. The Chinese...
