Social engineering a shop out of $4K
worth of computers 05/16/2004 06:33 AM
Excellent first-person account of a security consultant who entered a store (at management's request) and conned the staff into helping him boost nearly $4,000 worth of computers and walk out the front door with it all.

I was trying to find some paperwork that I could carry into the warehouse to use as 'official company documents'. I hit the jackpot when I opened the breakroom door when I noticed that the store had a seperate room for smokers as well, so I decided that I had worked hard enough so far and I deserved a break. After a refreshing dose of a nicotine inhaler I was back on the job. A quick survey of the non-smoking break room turned up a printout of employees who were scheduled to work that day.

"Big Giant Idiot Corporation, this is Pam, may I help you?" the sweet lady says with a throaty twang. "Quick! This is Thomas from the MacKenzie group! I need the log-in for the bradley server! Quick! It's a matter of money! You don't know what it is!? What?! Tell you what, I'll show you how to get it from the system and if you do that for me ... right now ... I won't tell the boss you're slacking..." No, we didn't just witness a woman keeping her job because of her ability to think on her feet (or seat). Instead, we saw someone use social engineering to get information. Maybe not the most elegant approach, but it could work in the right circumstances.

Kevin Werbach points out that social networking sites like LinkedIn and Tribe and so forth have very little to offer highly connected people like Esther Dyson, who would nevertheless be a real asset to the network:

Esther and Pierre don't need LinkedIn to reach pretty much anyone they want to contact. Yet there are a whole lot of folks who want to reach them, and don't have a personal connection to do so. So the service worsens their email overload with little corresponding benefit.

Social Applications For Social Devices

Social Applications For Social Devices 07/13/2004 01:53 AM
The mobile phone, by its very nature is a "social" device. It's designed to help connect you to someone else. While most of the early efforts to create "mobile data" have come from a broadcast mindset (delivery produced content to an audience), it looks like some are finally realizing that mobile data apps need to be social to really catch on. If they're not making use of the mobile phone for what it's good for, then it's unlikely to get too much attention. MIT's Tech Review has a good overview of a variety of different "social" projects related to mobile devices, from the ever popular "Dodgeball" mobile social networking application to Fluidtime's dorm room washing machine SMS scheduler (and negotiator, should you find out you need the machine now and someone else has it booked). These are the types of applications that really are the future of mobile phones -- and not the ability to watch the latest reality TV series on your phone or to receive a marketing message from Disney.

Proof of Life at the Top 03/28/2005 08:01 PM
General James Cartwright, Commander US Strategic Command runs a k-log (an organizational weblog). A poster at Sgt. Stryker got the scoop.  He's using it to cut through red tape and bureaucracy. 

“The metric is what the person has to contribute, not the person’s rank, age, or level of experience. If they have the answer, I want the answer. When I post a question on my blog, I expect the person with the answer to post back. I do not expect the person with the answer to run it through you, your OIC, the branch chief, the exec, the Division Chief and then get the garbled answer back before he or she posts it for me. The Napoleonic Code and Netcentric Collaboration cannot exist in the same space and time. It’s YOUR job to make sure I get my answers and then if they get it wrong or they could have got it righter, then you guide them toward a better way…but do not get in their way.”

Water-Proof PSP Case

Water-Proof PSP Case 04/04/2005 08:19 AM

I have no idea if this water-proof case for the Sony PSP will actually ever be mass-produced, but it's not entirely as stupid as it might at first seem. There's something to be said for a hard case that lets you fire up and play for a few minutes without ever taking it out. That said, I bet the D-pad is horribly frustrating through another layer of abstracting plastic. Mostly, it just pleases me that someone made it—even if it's never actually for sale.
