Real World Security

comedy

Another great quote from the spy story to end the week. This one even has a real world poignancy to it.

Ricci said the steganographic program was activated by pressing control-alt-E and then typing in a 27-character password, which the FBI found written down on a piece of paper during one of its searches.

So there we have it.

Read all the theoretical bullshit you want, but in the real world major drug rings operate inside secure international airports, governments struggle to keep guns and drugs out of prison, the army leaves its operational plans on a notebook in the back of the taxi, no body uses the $17 million dollar verification system and the super secret password to the carefully engineered security system is written down next to the computer.
