Authorized Pets Only

Having seen how difficult face recognition can be in humans, I don't have a lot of faith in this application either. Among all the other problems, have fun enrolling your pets when they're soaking wet, because that's what they're going to look like when they want in in a hurry.

Animals can be scammers too

I would have fallen for this. I don't expect this kind of duplicity from mans best friend. Who knew they could be such good liars?

Can You Spot The Imposter?

Blink and you'll miss it, but those aren't all sheep. There's one good boy who can blend in quite well. Hopefully he uses that ability to help protect the sheep by sneaking up on predators.

If you succeeded, you're prepared to go look for anomalies in your network traffic or host intrusion detection system.

Don't expect to get privacy if you don't give it

When was the last time you gave your four-legged friend privacy when they did their business? How's that little dog supposed to even know what privacy is if it's never been given to them?

Never underestimate your adversaries

found on I Heart Cats

You don't expect this behaviour from a cat, usually it's the other way around, however I have known a cat that terrorized the neighborhood dogs such that their owners would pick them up and carry them past the cat owner's house when walking their dogs, so I know sometimes it happens.

Never underestimate your adversary

I don't know, maybe if the gate was on the other side of the door the dog might not have been able to tear the door apart. Another possiblity might be one of those metal kick plates for the far side of the door, since the dog probably started tearing at the bottom and the metal should help prevent that. The key point, though, is to be aware of what kind of attack your defenses are likely to face, evaluate them on whether they are up to the task, and add additional layers to address weaknesses.

Looks like the dogs of war can be pretty useful.

Privacy that's only as strong as the weakest barrier

Sometimes it's a window, sometimes it's a door, and sometimes it's a wall. 

Home surveillance can be ruff

I think every dog owner has experienced this. If they see you with food they are going to watch you like a hawk. Kiss your privacy goodbye until they see you finish it.

All capybaras are what now?

found on Memedroid

I can sort of see putting a cat in a police K9 outfit - even though they're not dogs, they have at least been know to attack. But a capybara? I have never of a capybara that wasn't way too chill to attack.

Is the data really unrecoverable? I suppose the actual memory chip(s) might be small enough to have survived this superficial chewing, but if you let it go for long enough it won't matter how small the chips are.

It doesn't take much to protect against shoulder surfing at the ATM. A bark here, a growl there, it's all about getting advanced warning.

Of course hes' a little more like-able than his namesake. Probably because he doesn't seem quite as robotic.

A common misconception is that other humans are the only things that count as security threats, but that clearly underestimates the capabilities and motivations of animals.

In sheep's clothing

I wonder what this descendant of wolves is up to in that disguise. I'm not sure if sheep would be able to tell the difference or not. Their reputation isn't exactly for being smart.

As always, don't underestimate your adversary and don't let your guard down. I'm sure these were just demonstrations of what the dog can do, but the fact seems to remain that the dog can do these things.

All dogs can be guard dogs

Watch on YouTube

You'd think these dogs would just be snacks, but clearly they do an excellent job of scaring the bears away. As the saying goes, it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog - and these little dogs have a whole lot of fight in them. They don't even really need to be able to take on a bear in an actual fight, simply raising the alarm can be enough to protect people all on it's own. 

Of course, just because all dogs can be guard dogs, that doesn't mean they all are suitable as guard dogs. Not all of them have the right temperament for it.
