Whatis.com has me listed as one of their favorite security blogs

December 26th, 2006 Michael Farnum

I have to admit that I do perform the occasional vanity Google.  I usually just like to see what else pops up out there and how quickly things get indexed when I am on a podcast or comment on a blog post.  I ususally don’t dig deeper than a couple or three pages, but today I dug all the way to page 9, and I found this from Whatis.com.

It looks like I am on the favorite security blog list, along with Bruce Schneier and my friend Martin McKeay (of course and of course) and a few others.  This seems like a fairly obscure article since it is titled “Our Favorite Technology Blogs” and is under the “O” section in their database where I doubt anyone would really look.  You also have to go down to the table of contents and click “Security” to find me.  But hey, I’m honored!  Thanks Whatis.com people!

Good SANS article / case study

December 26th, 2006 Michael Farnum

I enjoyed this little case study from SANS.  It talks about doing security inspections on some old laptops that all came from a company.  Mostly typical findings, but it demonstrated some points that we don’t need to forget.
