I think what we have to start accepting even security experts is that our world is incredibly fragile. I think people realy understimate this. And I do not mean just the IT world but the entire world is built on many incredibly fragile balances. Security Exploits will always exist. Not just in software but in real life. Heck someone managed to Sneak into a Security Conference. And that guy was a random youtuber. Granted that was not like a high security thing. But thats just an example I had of the top of my head. Basically it is realy easy to circumvent security in most cases.

What I want to say with that is fundamentally our world works because atleast most people do not abuse shit. That is fundamentally how human society has always worked, and will likely continue to do so.


I remember there was a trend with some UK Influencers using some "Ladder and a High-vis" tricks to enter places for a while to show how rough physical security is [0]. I believe its the youtuber, Max Fosh, who managed to do it back to back at the International Security Expo, first in the UK [1] and then in the US [2], with the fake names 'Rob Banks' and 'Nick Everything'.

I've studied security culture before and in most cases everything comes down to a sliding scale with security on one side and convenience/accessibility on the other, the more secure something is, the less accessible it is and vice versa.

There is an xkcd about that i think

obviously ;)

It realy is time for a Butlerian Jihad

Way back whenever I first read Dune, this seemed like such weird niche ban. I don't think I had a lot of respect for it.

Now, like all good SciFi, it seems fairly prescient ....


The trick is to work on site and pour the counter-measures right into the foundation :P

but that ecosystem is realy good.

That was what was originaly advertised, they wanted to be what Kotlin is to Java but for Python. They quickly turned tails on this.

That and the not completely open source development model is what has always felt very vaporwary to me.


Very American centered POV

This app was coded by hands of 32 virgins on a moon lit full moon night.

This should shut up every doubter. Absolute Peak game.

That is so fucking cool. We are realy on our way with all those advancements to cure all impairments in life. Godspeed Science.


Cool
