While there’s a fairly large stigma that security professionals have eyes only for their computers, we do read books (every once in a while, that is).
- WICKED COOL RUBY SCRIPTS: Book rev by @carnal0wnage. Good read 4 Ruby devs. http://tinyurl.com/c62thd #novablogger #
- GRAY HAT PYTHON: Another book review from @carnal0wnage; this time focusing on python. http://tinyurl.com/ce2gxb #novablogger #
But, to be honest, we would rather listen to podcasts. Especially if they’re about how much we should be getting paid.
- SECURITY PAY: Came across ths audio interview. May be an interesting listen. http://bit.ly/35ter #
While it might not be as interesting as learning about how much you should be getting paid, Panda just released a new service.
- CLOUD AV: There’s been a lot of talk about Panda’s new service. Seems to be a little slow though. http://tinyurl.com/dyn46o #
- CLOUD AV (CONT): Updated article from CNET with description of their speed up technique – log toggling. http://tinyurl.com/co47kk #
But with the current economy, do we really have the money for new services?
- BACK 2 BASICS W/ EGRESS FILTERING: Article says inexpensive way 2 augment sec in tough econ times. http://tinyurl.com/cw4pzc #
- BACK 2 BASICS W/ EGRESS FILTERING: May not be as easy as they make it sound though. Open source costs $ in terms of engineering hours. #
While we’re all about saving money, when we read about all of the security vulnerabilities in the workplace, we think that we should be spending more money on security, not less.

This idea is only reinforced by recent reports of botnets.
- TORPIC: Another big botnet. Good guys have managed to infiltrate. Amazing num of pws siphoned off. http://tinyurl.com/clehfx #
- ANOTHER BIG BOTNET: Not sure if this is the same one. 2 million machines. Are we winning? http://tinyurl.com/db2dtv #
But as Microsoft has so often shown us, even all the money in the world doesn’t make a completely secure product.
- XP HARDENED: Oh wait, they’re only hardening XP. What about Vista and Win 7? http://bit.ly/NI3PT #
- WIN 7 SECURITY: Guess there’s no hardening for Win 7. Still hiding file extensions by default. http://tinyurl.com/cgqhxo #
- RT @wrayjustin [Intresting-News] Windows 7 Security Fail: File Extensions Still Hidden: The release candidate .. http://tinyurl.com/d8hfzo #
That’s why it’s up to us to take the initiative to learn about what’s going on in the security community by attending local events…
- RT @dojosec DojoSec Monthly Briefings tonight 6:00-10:00PM @ Capitol College #mtg #
- RT @dojosec DojoSec streaming tonight http://stream.dojosec.com #mtg #
- RT @mubix @danphilpott and @cyberhiker are hands down the people you want to talk to about FISMA #DojoSec #
- RT @mubix Main takeaway’s fr 2nite’s #Dojosec. 1. EDU has come long way towards security. 2. FISMA is way 2 detailed 3. Validation is key. #
And by keeping up with local security news.

On a more personal note…
- Looking for new place to live in NoVA starting 6/1. Anyone interested in doing some sort of hack house? #
