Explicit and implicit security in software development - measures and change

Fix your bugs!

I recently had an interesting discussion with several people involved into software-development of certain product that not the most secure in the planet. In fact it's one these projects whose names regularly pop up in various advisories. What a great popularity push...
It doesn't seem to bother anybody. Because: "Soon Vista will be the standard and that will mitigate these attacks."

Implicit and explicit

Implicit security - let's define that for a moment - is security that is built in into a platform. If you plan to deploy for Windows Vista there're a bunch of security enhancements that come with the newer operating system. Therefore you passively inherit at least some security - as long as you don't run stuff in compatibility mode.

We don't teach you...

I recently joined a channel on Freenode IRC and asked where to find some documentation for a special Metasploit auxiliary module, that was very new in the SVN repro. hdm sometimes is lurking around, people there normally are very friendly and helpful.

There's no censorship in free democratic states?

The Federal Republic of Germany begins to restrict information access for its citizens (again) - in the uttermost dubious and ineffective way. Due consistent lack of technical knowledge and unnatural high resistance against arguments freedom of speech is about to cease to exist. Within the borders where some time ago poets, thinkers and libertines had a right to simply express themselves, those troublemakers nowadays are to be silenced.

All I can say: yes, affordable now.

Keeping the tradition of the blog up... just a short write-up this week. Lots of other dings to do. Nevertheless I had some fun with the recent top security news.
