2008-04-14 01:35:30 by JJ in Security Uncorked
RSA Conference, San Francisco Day 2: Wednesday, April 9th I know, I know- its late- but better late than never, right I really tried my best to take photos as much as possible. A quick note on the photography- because of the size of the rooms, it didnt make sense to have the flash on, unfortunately it slowed the shutter speed, making some images...

Heroes, the (Fall TV) Legacy

2007-09-25 00:00:26 by jrjones in Jeff Jones Security Blog
I was a big fan of Heroes last year and, to my surprise, it was a big hit even outside of the sci-fi, superhero, geek space. The combination of the good stories, the new revelations each week and the soap-opera-like connections between the different characters appeared to a bit wider audience than might've been expected As Season 2 kicks off...

Vote but Verify

2007-09-07 19:56:11 by Liudvikas Bukys in Liudvikas Bukys
 
Local Rochester-area political blogger Thomas Belknap recently railed about HR 811 , interpreting its requirement of a voter-verified durable paper ballot as a small-minded banning of an attractive future of modern networked reliable electronic voting machines. I could not resist posting my disagreement into the comments on his blog, and perhaps...

Two years ago today, Blue Box podcast #1 was launched

2007-10-27 14:32:48 by HASH0x84724b8 in Blue Box: The VoIP Security Podcast
It seems rather amazing to me that it was two years ago today - October 24, 2005 - when we launched this show with Blue Box Podcast #1 (I remember because 10/24 is just a great number for a geek!). It's been a long, strange trip since then... we've learned a lot... about podcasting, about building a community... and, of course, about VoIP...

Geeks sharing recipes

2008-01-29 09:17:00 by Keith Brown in Security Briefs
 
So I'm a divorced father who cares for his three sons 50% of the time. It's a challenging but tremendously fun task. Since the separation, I've been spending much more time with my kids than I ever did before, and I'm loving it. But I'm still a geek at heart, and I hate doing clerk-like work to figure out what to buy at the grocery store. I'd...

Technorati Tag: Encryption Originally I was not going to write about this because it is not a breach (incident), but Yesterday, researchers from Princeton University, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and Wind River Systems released an eye-opening report labeled " Lest We Remember: Cold Boot Attacks on Encryption Keys " in which they...

RIP Cisco PIX

The Article has images
2008-02-06 06:46:31 by HASH0x8bc6004 in StillSecure, After All These Years
I actually read this earlier this week but did not have a chance to comment. ComputerWorld had this article today that details that Cisco will stop selling its line of PIX firewalls on July 28th of this year. I don't think this announcement came as a shock to anyone. They had discontinued their VPN 3000 concentrators a year ago and it was only a...
