The high costs of true security paranoia in the face of compromises

A while back I wrote about paranoia versus optimism in dealing withsecurity compromises . One of the factorsdriving optimism is the sheer cost of doing otherwise in a decent-sizedenvironment such as, well, ours.

Suppose that we take the paranoid approach; if we detect that an accounthas been compromised on a machine, we make the assumption that there isan invisible rootkit. So we take the machine down, build a replacementfrom scratch, and do forensics on the potentially compromised machine todetect how correct our paranoia

又一港產"結"作!
勸各位7字8字頭的青年不要爲了懷緬10年前的青蔥歲月而捧場,破壞原來的美好回憶.
全片唯一無令我發笑的人是何家勁.

你說電影口號有多重要呢,沒有看過「大隻佬」的人,一樣可以說得出「無般帶不走,唯有業隨身」,即是甚麼意思呀?哦,即是說前世做過的事,始終會跟著你,就像張栢芝前世是日軍斬人頭,今世最後都被斬頭,是業報。這

我和神的對話(之一)

王某得享天年,死時已年過九十。他自二十四歲脫離教會,從此相信人死如燈滅,因而珍惜每分每秒,生活得充實愉快,死前已了卻大部分心願,可謂死亦無憾矣。誰知死後才發覺竟然真的有神,心想自己幾十年來批評宗教,與

虛偽的人說虛偽

好些人對周秀娜改觀了,就因為她說︰「我有果樣sell果樣。」這令人有點奇怪,事實上在香港,每個打工仔都是有果樣sell果樣的。在這個大學畢業生的履歷,幾乎小學班際乒乓球季軍都要寫進去的年代,誰也是盡力地發掘自己僅

余則非也!

年少時甚愛沈復的 《浮生六記》 (註) ,愛它情切辭美,去年還重讀了一遍,仍很喜歡。昨天從書架上取下隨便翻看,即見到卷三「坎坷記愁」開首三句:「人生坎坷何為乎來哉?往往皆自作孽耳。余則非也!」頗有感觸。自作

WiFi Logo
I was recently in Chicago, lamenting the fact that, to use the Boingo WiFi at the airport for a mere half hour, I'd need to pay $6.95; rather than pay this outrageous amount (since I already have an iPhone with Internet access, and the WiFi would be a convenience, I looked to Google for some help.

It is well documented that you can simply change your browser's "User-Agent" to use the 'Mobile Safari - iPhone' profile, and


Getting from Evanston to the O'Hare International Airport

As I was preparing for my return trip to St. Louis from Evanston, IL (I was at the DrupalCamp Chicago this weekend), I realized I hadn't set up any way to get to the O'Hare International Airport in order to board my American Airlines flight. Luckily, I looked up 'Evanston to O'Hare' online, and found a little nugget that many people don't know about.

There's a Pace bus (route 250) that goes straight from downtown

The Little Prince

I remember reading the queer experience of the little prince seeing a lamplighter putting out the street lamp, followed by lighting it again. And then another morning, with the lamp extinguished again. Over a hundred thousand times. I remember it as a back-and-forth between the lamplighter and the little prince's fondness for his own rose. Antoine de Saint Exupéry's story helps me understand what the little prince describes as "the rose that belongs to me."
