now where did i leave the keys?

found on very demotivational

an interesting example of the trade-off between security (keeping the bat cave's location secret) and convenient (making the bat cave easy to find if you forget where it is). don't get angry, batman, get alfred checked for alzheimer's.

think before you post



honestly, that's kind of creepy, but it's also very true. maybe creepy is what's needed for that message.

the one that got away

from here (source image)

i dunno for sure but i have a feeling that in some circles people actually do tell security fish stories (and no, i don't mean phish).

please pay careful attention... and lots of money



paying extra for safety is one thing, but don't you wish they'd take this approach with security? then you could finally opt out of their security theatre by not paying.

watch out for mad F-bombers

the only bombs the TSA regularly encounter are F-bombs, and they certainly aren't effective at minimizing those.

do frequent AV failures look like a flaw?

from here

i dunno. i certainly laugh at infosec professionals who fail to recognize when it's actually the law of truly large numbers kicking them in the ass, but i can see how others might not find that funny. i guess it's a schadenfreude sort of thing.

we can haz antivirus?

inspired by this f-secure blog entry. i think parking meters with anti-virus on them is another example where we can say someone is doing their job horribly, horribly wrong. i don't care how hi-tech your parking meter is, it only has a single job to do so it shouldn't need to be a general purpose computer running windows.
