Bruce Schneier on ChoicePoint

Bruce Schneier on ChoicePoint 03/17/2005 03:27 AM
“The ChoicePoint fiasco has been news for over a month now, and there are only a few things I can add. For those who haven’t been following along, ChoicePoint mistakenly sold personal credit reports for about 145,000 Americans to criminals. This story would have never been made public if it were not for SB 1386, a California law requiring companies to notify California residents if any of a specific set of personal information is leaked….

Xeni Jardin: A pair of thought-provoking op-ed pieces from Bruce Schneier, who says,

This New Haven Register piece looks at the security and privacy issues surrounding a police "gun" that automatically scans licence plates. It's an example of "wholesale surveillance" -- something only possible with modern computer technology -- and as such requires new thinking about privacy protection. Link

This San Jose Mercury News essay discusses how the tighter U.S. immigration policies affect foreign students and professors at U.S. universities, and how that in turn affects security. The more we isolate U.S. academia from the rest of the world, the more technological progress suffers. Link

MP3 interview with security expert Bruce
Schneier 05/03/2004 04:26 PM
Amazing interview (available as a text transcript or audio file) with security guru Bruce Schneier, who really should be hired to run Homeland Security.

Doug Kaye: Now a recurring concept in your book is probably typified by this example: “A terrorist who wants to create havoc will not be deterred by airline security; he will simply switch to another attack and bomb a shopping mall.”

Bruce Schneier: This is, I think, really important.  I just did a hearing two days ago on Capitol Hill about CAPS II, about airline profiling, and one of the things I’m always struck with is how good we are at defending against what the terrorists did last year.  We’re spending a lot of money shoring up our airlines, we’re now talking about shoring up trains. And money that we spend that simply causes the bad guys to change their tactics is money wasted. 

You have a red and a blue door, and the terrorists go through the red door, and you say, “We must secure the red door,” so they go through the blue door the next time.  What did you actually buy?

Bruce Schneier explains why the Witty
Worm is a scary piece of malware

Bruce Schneier explains why the Witty
Worm is a scary piece of malware 06/08/2004 05:02 PM
Bruce Schneier of Counterpane Security explains why the Witty Worm is so awful.

Witty was very well written. It was less than 700 bytes long. It used a random-number generator to spread itself, avoiding many of the problems that plagued previous worms. It spread by sending itself to random IP addresses with random destination ports, a trick that made it easier to sneak through firewalls. It was -- and this is a very big deal -- bug-free. This strongly implies that the worm was tested before release.

Witty was exceptionally nasty. It was the first widespread worm that destroyed the hosts it infected. And it did so cleverly. Its malicious payload, erasing data on random accessible drives in random 64KB chunks, caused immediate damage without significantly slowing the worm's spread.

Recently, in the Wired Windows column in Network World  (link below) I talked about patch management, and especially third party patch management - Microsoft's products in this area leave a lot to be desired. Among others, I mentioned Patchlink, which has been around since the mid 1990s when it was known as Gravitix. However, the company itself is now almost 15 years old. Old timers may remember it better under the name HiTechSoft, the people who created NetBasic, the scripting language used in NetWare 4 and 5.
