  1. RT @adamjodonnell: Okay people: drip coffee maker, chemex, french press. begin recommendations now < Nope. Toddy http://bit.ly/Qgtuj
  2. I'll be at the Federal Identity Management & Cybersecurity Conference in DC next week on panel Wed. titled "Innovation & Security in Cloud"
  3. You remember HOW exactly Jerry Springer STOPPED being the mayor of Cincinnati? He rented a hooker. WITH A CHECK. Don't be a Jerry.
  4. All these "so-&-so is the mayor of such-&-such" compels me to remind you that Jerry Springer was the mayor of Cincinnati. Feel better now?
  5. RT @GeorgeReese: I did not know that the Pope owned Long John Silver's < How do you think they serve fish fingers?
  6. @alexhutton I expect to see this as a catagory in the next Verizon Breach Report under "You might be a knucklehead if..."
  7. If your security practices suck in the physical realm, you'll be delighted by the surprising lack of change when you move to Cloud
  8. ...and even if (as I painted in FastFlux Botnet example) a bad guy used an AMI as a bot, it's just another instance running on their network
  9. RT @madgreek65: My take on Amazon EC2 outage in Virginia --- Shame on you if your architecture was dependent on a single zone
  10. RT @madgreek65: My take on the Amazon hacker episode <-- Can't protect against bad customer security controls (if that was indeed the cause)
  11. Oh, the article "Hackers Infiltrate Amazon Cloud" http://bit.ly/8tAObG < TGDaily Load of Crap. This was a bit better http://bit.ly/5wxOtl
  12. Interviewed tonight to comment on someone else's prediction of a "major Cloud Catastrophe" occurring in 2010. Me="Major compared to what?"
  13. RT @wattersjames: @Beaker ppl are making a generalization re something related to cloud representing the whole architecture of cloud??
  14. Over a year ago I knew of bots on EC2 (my Frogs preso calls it FastFlux CloudBots) but this sensationalist crap is making me...SQUIRREL!
  15. Oh FFS, Amazon's EC2 wasn't "compromised." EC2 wasn't "infiltrated." An AMI was pwned just like any "host" connected to the Internet can be
  16. @bobegan Yup. It's the sux0r. Unless I want to fly to Chicago to go to D.C...the prices for non-stops are redonkulous. Acela is FTW anyway.
  17. Totally screwed myself for travel next week as I forgot to book a plane ticket. Taking train to D.C. for a 6 hour ride.
  18. @ken5m1th Ah, that shirt is a quasi-Ed Hardy/Star Wars shirt by Mark Ecko. I don't remember where, but hey had Vader & Chewy too... ;)
  19. Can anyone confirm if Verari Systems has actually shut down? http://bit.ly/6YqWbX
  20. RT @benjaminblack: Blaming a vendor for your outage denies the cardinal rule of #webops: you own your availability.
