I’m starting to believe that the above statement is an oxymoron. I’m probably not allowed to go into detail regarding my current security woes. However, I will generally ponder… For instance, why would a system only afew months out of date on OS patches be vulnerable to an attack? How can a vulnerability that has almost no resources online so thoroughly hose a machine? Why aren’t bells going off in some deep underground security bunker when a SINGLE binary file can gain ROOT access on any system of a particular OS release???

Moving on… why are security departments so reactive? When a server is attacked/hacked or cracked (shudup, rhyme ftw), they bust down doors and swoop in like an attentive FEMA. However, I’d much rather be hassled by them about my security holes before they are so thoroughly exploited. The word is proactive. Think, Secret Service, not FBI. Don’t break up the drug cartel operating down the street, let’s prevent the assassination from ever taking place, ya know? Dive into that bullet! Take one for the team!

Apologies to the four people that read this, I know it has devolved into some sort of pretentious foto-blog. I only post them because my pictures are awesome (oops, there’s that pretension)… that and work is boring and monotonous at this point. One has to have an outlet, no?
