I was driving the ol’ trusty minivan yesterday with the family. We were in the middle of a 7 hour drive, coming back from seeing my parents over Memorial Day, and the kids were watching a DVD of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Fast Forward series. One particular episode starred a character that was […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Here’s my response to LV’s data in use post that has garnered some attention: One thing my instructor in Taekwondo has taught me is that when sparring in competition, your opponent is at his most vulnerable when attacking. Basically, you wait for his move, then you use it against him. I liken data in use […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The Mayan Calendar ends on December 21st, 2012 A.D. Some say that day will be the end of the world. I have heard of this before, but for some reason it was number 91 on Google Trends for May 21, 2007, and I thought it was interesting that it was there. Looks like I better start […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This picture is from my recent family trip to Seaworld. But the reason it is security related is because I am wearing my ISSA hat. Man, what a geek! Vet

Speaking of my blogging talk at TRISC, here is a link to it. Keep in mind that any slides I create are usually just a shell for my talk, and my talk more often than not burst out of that shell. I use slides for more of a pointer for something to talk about (just […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I had a good time at TRISC yesterday. It was cool to meet up with Martin and Cutaway again. We had a good time in just the short time we got to hang out, and we even managed to record a couple of videos for Podtech. There were some interesting talks yesterday. One highlight of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Going to the TRISC show tomorrow in Austin. I will be speaking on using blogs as a security research tool. If any of my Texas readers are going, let me know. I am also excited because my good friends and blogging buddies Martin McKeay and Cutaway will be there. I haven’t seen them since the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Great post at the Security Retentive blog about training developers on the basics of security. This quote kills me: I can’t even begin to count the number of discussions I’ve had with web developers who don’t understand HTTP basics, what the protocol actually looks like, what cookies really are, how browsers handle them, etc. They […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Looks like this guy might be getting some time in the pokey for passing himself off as a computer forensics expert and doing some expert witnessing in court cases. Uhhh, not a good idea. Can you say “Bubba”? Vet
Andrew Hay took me to task a bit on my recent post about another SIEM eval install at an educational institution (it is a “suggested blog reading” post, so you will have to go down a bit to find his response to me). Andrew does work for Q1 Labs, which builds a SIM solution called […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I went to another client of ours from an educational institution (this time in Dallas), and they were similar to the client I spoke of in my last post. However, this site seemed to be a bit more proactive when it came to security, and he didn’t seem near as stressed as the other client. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Monday and Tuesday found me working on an eval install of the NitroSecurity NitroView SIEM product at a local educational institution in the medical center (I did a quick write up on them a few days ago – my opinion has remained pretty much the same now that I have seen the product warts and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
