Cube Box | PSD File

Apr 20, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: Files, Graphics, How to

Another box template anyone?
Hi, this is a template specially designed for gift givers. Are you afraid your gift is garbage you say? No problem. Use this box. Download, personalize, print-cut-fold.
Seriously now.
This template pack comes with its inside part too so you’d know where to cut and fold. The dotted lines show where to fold and the continuous lines indicate where to cut. That’s about what you have to do after you print it. Oh, and of course… put a gift or something inside.
If you think your gift is junk, at least use a nice box to put it in.

If you download you may edit the Adobe Photoshop template because it’s fully customizable.

The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security

Apr 20, 2008 Author: admin | Filed under: How to, Programs, Webmasters

There’s lots of innovation going on in security - we’re inundated with a steady stream of new stuff and it all sounds like it works just great. Every couple of months I’m invited to a new computer security conference, or I’m asked to write a foreword for a new computer security book. And, thanks to the fact that it’s a topic of public concern and a “safe issue” for politicians, we can expect a flood of computer security-related legislation from lawmakers. So: computer security is definitely still a “hot topic.” But why are we spending all this time and money and still having problems?

Let me introduce you to the six dumbest ideas in computer security. What are they? They’re the anti-good ideas. They’re the braindamage that makes your $100,000 ASIC-based turbo-stateful packet-mulching firewall transparent to hackers. Where do anti-good ideas come from? They come from misguided attempts to do the impossible - which is another way of saying “trying to ignore reality.” Frequently those misguided attempts are sincere efforts by well-meaning people or companies who just don’t fully understand the situation, but other times it’s just a bunch of savvy entrepreneurs with a well-marketed piece of junk they’re selling to make a fast buck. In either case, these dumb ideas are the fundamental reason(s) why all that money you spend on information security is going to be wasted, unless you somehow manage to avoid them.

For your convenience, I’ve listed the dumb ideas in descending order from the most-frequently-seen. If you can avoid falling into the the trap of the first three, you’re among the few true computer security elite.
