Layer 8

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

If he isn’t careful ...

Rich Mogull with his LiveChat service is gonna end up in a conversation something like this:

h4x0r:  Hey, I hear you like to cyber.

brtne666:  Sure, you wanna get it on?

h4x0r:  Yeah, tell me what you’ve got on.

brtne666: I’ve got this cute little black thong, and a leather bikini top

h4x0r:  No, I mean, what services have you got on?  ssh?  telnet? 

brtne666: Huh? 

h4x0r: It’s okay, I’ll do an nmap.  Yeah, baby, you’re wide open for me, aren’t you?

brtne666: I’m running my fingers through your hair

h4x0r: You’re running finger?  Oh, that’s great.  Let me unzip my tools here.

brtne666:  You’re unzipping your tool already? 

h4x0r: I enumerate your users.  You give it all up for me.

brtne666:  Okay baby

h4x0r:  I crack one of your passwords.  Now I’m in.

brtne666:  What’s that about my crack

h4x0r:  I start uploading my secret files to you.  Ooooh, that’s nice.

h4x0r:  I install a back door so I can come back later whenever I like.

brtne66:  Hey, y’know I don’t really go for back door action k?

h4x0r:  Relax, baby, I’ll be gentle

h4x0r:  Now I’m installing a keylogger so I can watch everything you do.

brtne666:  You like to watch, baby

h4x0r:  Oh yeah.  Now I’m penetrating your defenses.  You’re disabling your rulesets for me.

I got your informative priors, right here baby!  I’m gonna move you from a state of nature to a state of knowledge, you know what I mean?

Bwahah, I feel somewhat digitally naughty after reading that! smile

Hrm, brings back memories…“I accidentally knock over one of the candles and the bed starts to catch fire…‘Shit!‘“

Another “used and abused” scenario could be a vendor contact hawking the next must-have security device…takes the money…then goes out of business. Oops!
