Ok, this is just to funny not to write about. As a previous Blackhat<\/a> attendee (and speaker) my name is on the mailing list of whoever owns the conferance these days. Anyway, I get an email that was appropriately routed to my spam folder, asking me to complete a survey for some magazine called ‘Dark Reading’<\/a> which looks llike a TechWeb property that deals with security. Now normally I don’t waste time with such survey’s but I was bored at the time so I figured what the hell. Talk about entertainment! Check out this sample question….<\/p>\n

11. What’s the first thing you typically do when you discover a vulnerability in an off-the shelf hardware or software product?<\/em>
\n– Report it to the vendor
\n– Post it\/share it with other crackers\/researchers
\n– Begin developing ways to exploit it for financial gain
\n– Begin developing proof-of-concept code to expose the vulnerability to a broad audience
\n– Find out who would be willing to pay the most for it
\n– Contact law enforcement<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I can not wait until the FUD filled article they write based on this survey comes out. Of course I checked off “Find out who would be willing to pay the most for it” Bwahahaha. Yes, I somehow get a weird sort of personal satisfaction by becoming an outlying value in a statistical survey. hehehe…. I especially like the questions with an ‘other’ option that allow me to enter in my own answer. Like…<\/p>\n

13. Many law enforcement agencies have developed computer crime units to investigate computer break-ins. Of these, which do you think has the best chance to catch you?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My answer? “None. I can not be caught!” Hahahaha<\/p>\n

If anyone notices the article they write from this survey let me know. It aughta be good for a few laughs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
