log2timeline July 1, 2010

The Irrelevancy of Industry Accepted Malware Testing Standards June 30, 2010
I have to say that DannyQuist has it right. The AV industry is not real world and not effective. The fact remains that the AV industry is about selling signatures, not about preventing malware from infesting your PC. The fact that they can take a finger print of what they’ve found “in the wild” is [...] […]

THE CYBER WAR THREAT HAS BEEN GROSSLY EXAGGERATED (Washington DC) | Intelligence Squared US June 15, 2010
Interesting debate – it starts off all over the road but eventually gets to the point – that even though our new Cyber Czar talks about making us more secure, the policies he is pushing are not secure software, and not about shaking up an industry that perpetuates the problem. Instead they’re about establishing power [...] […]
UK Met Police Using ENF Analysis for Forensics June 9, 2010
So audio forensic techniques have only been around since Watergate and haven’t really progressed since then… until now. It would be very interesting to read up on the details but it appears that the “grid” has a fingerprint that constantly changes. It appears there is also a way to find this signature in an audio [...] […]
DHS May Merge Infrastructure Protection and Cybersecurity Units June 8, 2010
Seems reasonable to me – get them all in 1 “room” so the talented one can get their hands into more stuff. Telecom is way behind and needs some infusion of critique like they can get from web app testers. Your automated telephone attendant systems for example – it’s like they were invented before we [...] […]

Spotlight: Cyber Terrorism Roundtable April 19, 2010
OK, so it’s from 2007 but given the recent news around Google/China and the push by Uncle Sam reaching the point that “return fire” in “cyber space” is the “rule of engagement”, this is still very timely. Great stuff from Marcus… Spotlight: Cyber Terrorism Roundtable with Sami Saydjari, Marcus Ranum, Dean Turner and hosted by Nicole [...] […]
Congress questions Keth Alexander April 16, 2010
Let’s hope we ALL get to ‘return fire’ and that this ‘right’ is not limited to the military and DHS. …One of the major themes of Thursday’s hearing was questioning where the Cyber Command would fit within the traditional military chain of command and when and how Alexander and his team of computer whizzes would launch [...] […]
