deep inspection cartoons

i didn't realize that the deep inspection cartoon i posted before was going to be an ongoing thing when i originally posted it... i have no desire to steal david maynor's thunder so i won't continue republishing his work here but i still think they teach lessons while being funny at the same time so i still want to promote that content... republishing makes sense for a one-off or as an introduction; actually it makes sense for everything when it comes to memes, but not everyone likes their content to be copied so for serials like this i think i'm going to need a links section to point to other people's ongoing work where that work furthers (intentionally or not) some of the same goals this site does...

idiots trust machines

if you think "i'm trustworthy" carries more weight coming from a machine than it does from a human then you might be a security idiot...

if people get caught with their pants around their ankles, driving the wrong way down a one way street while watching kiddie porn they downloaded using your wireless internet access, you might be a security idiot...

security checklists

found at errata security

ah, the importance of actually thinking for yourself rather than just following a script/checklist...

if you find losing sensitive data is as easy as falling off the back of a turnip truck then you might be a security idiot

idiot's server room

if you allow users to poke their heads into your server room like some bizarre game of whack-a-mole, you might be a security idiot...

new meme: Security Idiot

trying not to be a one trick pony here so it's time i introduced another possible meme...

this is another humour based meme but instead of showing screen shots it's pretty much entirely verbal, which makes it something that people can repeat to each other and in that sense at least makes it superior to LOLThreats (since replication of the meme is not technology dependent)...

i actually got the idea originally upon reading a blog post by michael farnum... i thought the concept of "you might need to think about security if" would make a great play on jeff foxworthy's shtick about "you might be a redneck if"...

i was never totally satisfied with "you might need to think about security", though - it was a little unwieldy and i tried to come up with some variant that fit better but i never did... thankfully anton chuvakin came up with something better (or i might have settled on "security redneck" which would have been bizarre) - "security idiot" rolls off the tongue much easier (though it does sound a bit like a green day song - 'don't wanna be a security idiot' - hmmm, i wonder)...
