Layer 8

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

Seek and ye shall find.

There are a lot of predictable search keywords and phrases that cause people to come to this site, such as:  “reasons to become a CISSP,” “VPN blocking access,” “security metrics jaquith” (man, you write just one glowing review and suddenly your hits double), and variations on “layer 8.”

But some really make you go “hmmm.” Here are my favorite search phrases from this month:


how do i tell the vendor my boss does not want to meet with him
That one’s easy.  Just say it exactly that way.  If the vendor’s pushing you that hard, s/he deserves a blunt answer.

layer of hell survey
I actually see “layers of hell” a lot.  Maybe I should try to make my writing more infernal?

renovating to better serve you
Hint:  start out your renovation by trying not to maliciously split infinitives.

onward thru the fog meaning
That’s a deep one.  I wonder whether s/he ever found out?


Now, in the “I don’t WANT to know what they were planning” department:

annoy your boss

event planning fake budget spreadsheet
(This might be the answer to the one just above.)

getting around password protected zip files
Naughty, naughty!  Just follow the Dogmatic CSO’s advice and Just Say No.

barrista hole punch
I sure hope they were looking for a brand name called “Barrista,” because otherwise I’d be really worried.


And finally, in the “Involuntarily Deep” category, which I will leave unadorned for you to contemplate as I have:

and i believe everything because you a layer


hallelujah layers
