Bootable OpenBSD USB sticks are simple to make. Just use a computer with a CD drive to install OpenBSD onto a USB stick. Then you can plug the USB stick into most any computer and boot bsd.rd to do an install. You can even copy various vers

There's another side to this issue. Someone could create an account with your name (claiming to be you) and write horrible/offensive/illegal things from that account. Anyone can write anything on Internet forums and can claim

Nice article. The reality is that mainstream IT security is driven by audit and compliance, not by engineers asking how can I break things/how can system X be more secure. Most companies want to be XYZ compliant (and nothing more than

When everything on the wire uses strong crypto, the only useful network data will be metadata. It will be interesting to see how traditional network IDS/IPS evolve to handle this. The signatures will be useless when they can't par

Traditional host anti-virus software is another good example of 'enumerating badness'. It's certainly hard to keep-up when you take this approach.

One downside to static linking is security vulnerabilities. Say, for example that all the programs on your computer that use OpenSSL statically link. When OpenSSL has a security flaw, you have to not only update OpenSSL, but all of those ot

I once thought that Facebook would 'go the way of Myspace' too. But then I attended a USENIX LISA conference and I sat in on some of the Facebook presentations. Initially, I was dismissive of them (I'm too old to be in the so

It's been just more than two years since I was paid to write software. I was a systems programmer. My knowledge is a bit dated. The C++ code I write today is to support IT security research (job) and my own personal interests (hobbies)

Code has bugs. The less code you write, the less bugs you have. It's pretty simple really. OpenBSD has always done this well and taken a lot of criticism for it.

Yes, absolutely. C++ is the silent workhorse that is used almost everywhere. It's especially huge in embedded and systems programming. There'll be a significant number of programmers paid to maintain and enhance C++ programs for a
