Security is fundamentally about people, and everything we know about people is relevant to security. -- B. Schneier

A meta-post.

Yes, I’m cheating.  My brain has turned to tapioca for the time being, so I’m just going to do a meta-post and list all the different categories of SecurityBlogPost that I can think of.

So far, I have:

- Thinly veiled (if at all) marketing post.

- New sploit o’ the day.

- Which security vendor is buying whom, and who cares.

- Cute real-life personal anecdote turned into security metaphor.

- Railing against the “war on terrorism” and the stupid security it’s engendered.

- Security Snark[tm] aimed at bitchslapping another blogger.

- Incredibly esoteric, academic discussion, usually having to do with risk analysis, statistics and math.  (Which is Hard.)

- And of course, the FUD post.

 

Any more out there?  Play along!

Let’s see here…

- The How-To post

- Seems like there should be something about a rant…

- And popular news regurgitation…aka snarking someone else’s content?

Post gracing the masses with wisdom. May contain elements: stating the obvious, disagreeing with commonly-held ideas, claims that if you can’t understand it, you’re not worthy.

Ouch!  A hit, sir, a very palpable hit!  wink
