Friday Lazy Linking

Things worthy of note that I haven’t written posts on:

• A fun blow-by-blow of a security researcher warning a bunch of execs about their hackability – and then pwning them.
• WikiBooks is writing the textbook on cryptography. Learn or contribue!  h/t Schneier
• The Internet is radicalizing terrorists  in the United States, too
• Uncivil society flourishes on the Intertubes.
• Chavez is heading full steam ahead to censor the Internet. Apparently it is a home of *gasp* false information and rumors. I think he should correct it himself.
• The DOD isn’t too fond of Wikileaks. And their plan to try and discredit them was posted on… Wikileaks.
• DDOS interferes with vote counting in Columbia.  Yawn. I’ll be interested when we have an election demonstrably thrown by hacking.
• Today’s computing threats can’t be stopped, even with up-to-date software.
• People reveal little bits of information. Computers collect and combine information little bits of information. Privacy on the Internet is really, really hard.
• Given the massive size of botnets, they probably already control a computer inside your company. Hackers buy access to you through a botnet service provider. I love capitalism.
• The Feds are on Facebook – and the rules for them are a lot more lax.
