Why You DO Need a Firewall

Wed, 16 May 2012 11:40:00 EDT

This week, our office came across an article by Roger A. Grimes entitled “Why you don’t need a firewall”. As a security professional working for a company whose responsibilities include firewall management, I found the article to be extremely shortsighted, and borderline offensive. Normally, I’d encourage you to read the article in question, but your time is most certainly better spent doing nearly anything else. I would highly recommend learning home dentistry as a suitable alternative activity. Grimes argues that firewalls are becoming increasingly less relevant, due to their inability to protect against attacks, the difficulty associated with managing the devices, and the availability of more effective defenses and solutions. The sheer number of logical fallacies spawning hasty generalizations in the article leads me to believe that it is intentionally written to provoke this type of discussion. With this in mind, I would like to address several of the author’s arguments from the perspective of a security engineer.

Slow Down and Make Yourself Faster

Tue, 15 May 2012 11:13:00 EDT

I spend most of my day typing arcane things into black windows with green text, as such I spend some time looking for ways to eliminate keystrokes. I’ve been using bash and vim for more that 10 years and I continue to learn more features that I can use on a daily basis. I’ll give you some tips at the end, but the moral of the story is learn how to make better use of your tools. nytime you’re typing the same thing more than once, ask yourself if there’s a better way to do it. If you don’t know, stop what you’re doing and ask Google. Maybe you should be using awk or sed to do some search and replace job. Maybe you can just do it in vim. If you’re in vim already, do you know how to work on more than one file at a time?
