Tech Blog of the Week: Schneier on Security
In keeping with the Security Week theme, I am highlighting a security blog for Tech Blog of the Week. While this blog is not only about computer security (it covers things like national security, personal security, etc. as well), there is a huge amount of information about computer security in Schneier on Security.
According to Schneier.com:
Bruce Schneier is an internationally renowned security technologist and author. Described by The Economist as a “security guru,” Schneier is best known as a refreshingly candid and lucid security critic and commentator. When people want to know how security really works, they turn to Schneier.
Here is a sampling of some of his recent writing
- Evasive Malicious Code
- Nonsecurity Considerations in Security Decisions
- Third Party Consent and Computer Searches
- Information Leakage in the Slingbox
- Cyberwar
- RFID in People Access Security Services (PASS) Cards
- Network Insecurities at the FBI
- Criminals Hijack Large Web Hosting Firm
- Image Spam
- On the Futility of Fighting Online Pirates
While the contents isn’t always original, this is definitely the place that I go whenever I want to get caught up on the latest in keeping up with the crackers. I always learn something new and useful.
