five.sentenc.es is a personal policy that all email responses regardless of recipient or subject will be five sentences or less. It’s that simple.

Αναμετάδοση από το blog του Ελληνικού OWASP:
“Το OWASP Greek Chapter διοργανώνει ένα OWASP Training Day την Τετάρτη, 25 Μαΐου στο Αμφιθέατρο της Γενικής Γραμματείας Πληροφοριακών Συστημάτων, Χανδρή 1 & Θεσσαλονίκης, Μοσχάτο. Πρόκειται για μία εκπαίδευση από αυτές που σπάνια έχουμε την ευκαιρία να παρακολουθήσουμε στην Ελλάδα και ταυτόχρονα μια ευκαιρία ανταλλαγής απόψεων με μερικούς από τους κορυφαίους ειδικούς στο χώρο του Application Security παγκοσμίως.”
Αξίζει και τον χρόνο και τον κόπο.

Overheard this weekend:
The Number One rule of management in the Greek Public Sector is: “If you want something done, assign it to someone who already has too many assignments and is overloaded”.
This closely follows my decade long observation that management works with those who work, leaving the rest at peace.
I remember reading a quote somewhere in the tubes that goes like this:
“Those who divide people between good and bad, are always with the good guys.”
I can’t remember who originally said it though
These days I am reading “Inside Cyber Warfare” (among other things). Chapter 4 (Responding to International Cyber Attacks as Acts of War) is written by Lieutenant Commander Matthew J. Sklerov. It is a rewrite of his 111-page thesis on the subject which is available online:
Like I said, I have not read the Thesis, but I am reading Chapter 4 from “Inside Cyber Warfare”. It is highly explanatory of the US strategic and military dogmas, including running cross-border operations against enemies who are non-state actors.
