  • 2004 Security Calendar

    Running a little late, I know, but: Marcus mailed me about this plan in the middle of last year, and sent me one of the paper copies, a Network Security Calendar themed upon spoofs of the ever-more-spoofed “motivational” posters — which are, alas, still popular in some workplaces.

  • drilling into harddrives with google

    every so often, [www.ntk.net] publishes a string of interesting application-oriented keywords that let you drill into something that google is indexed, that perhaps the owners should not have permitted to be available on the web. here’s another contribution to the art, inspired by the text of a spam mail that i received this morning: [www.google.com]
