The answer is almost certainly no, so stop asking already. Perhaps the question we should be asking is if any software is ever truly safe.

When All You Have Is A Certification, Everything Looks Like Your Course Material

tweeted by Rob Rosenberger

Thanks to Rob Rosenberger for tweeting this Condescending Wonka meme. Considering that (from what I heard) someone was actually trying to exploit Shellshock to run CMD.EXE, then I can definitely believe there are people out there who think their Microsoft-centric body of knowledge applies to this *NIX-related vulnerability and that certainly deserves some condescension.

Thanks to @naehrdine for tweeting this photo of a t-shirt celebrating the shellshock vulnerability.

I wondered if there was some place people could buy their own but unfortunately all I was able to find was this very similar graphic that Chris Hoth thought would make a good t-shirt (guess what, Chris, it does)

and this t-shirt with a distinctly different graphic but along the same idea

It makes me wonder if @naehrdine got hers custom made or something.

tweeted by @andreasdotorg

Thanks to @andreasdotorg for tweeting this meme highlighting the language-theoretic security perspective on the recently uncovered bash vulnerability. I like the idea of LangSec Cat, and hope it can make language-theoretic security as widely known as LOLCat made cheeseburgers.

If This Joke Bombs, I Hope You Don't Get Shellshocked

Hey, everyone else is making jokes about the bash vulnerability, it would be weird if I didn't.

Hey, if there's targeted advertising, why not targeted CAPTCHAs?

Slouching Hacker, Skid And Braggin'

If I had known how well the original Technologically Impaired Hacker gag would do I would have dedicated this whole week to the meme.

I Think Dog Food Costs More Than a New Gate

Whether the owners realize it or not, a damaged metal fence is a terrific complement to a beware of dog sign. It provides an example of what someone who refuses to beware might be in for.
