Juxtaposition - Subscription-walls

A new paper on Johnny's "I Hack Stuff" blog requires a subscription. Meanwhile, Sensepost is abandoning their "Regwall" for research papers.

I feel the same way about news paywalls, really. They don't force people to pay, nor do they keep people from getting the news. They just make sure they don't get the news from YOU.

By the way, I threw together a Google Reader "Bundle" of my favorite security feeds. If you use Google Reader (and let's face it, why WOULDN'T you?!) you can easily import these. Beware: it's over 200 RSS feeds, and can get awfully noisy at times.

A generous gift - Into The Breach

Michael Santarcangelo, II has given us (the community) a generous gift. A while back, I wrote a review about his book, Into The Breach.

Today, he authorized HiR Information Report to give you access to the e-Book version for free.

Simply order the book online, then apply coupon code: hir31337

You can also purchase hard copies (and ask for an autographed one) as well. While you don't have to agree with Michael's take on things, It's a good read that might change the way you and your managers think about breach of data in the enterprise.

Thanks, Michael!
