10 Immutable Laws of Security

The 10 Immutable Laws of Security:


* Law #1: If a bad guy can persuade you to run his program on your computer, it's not your computer anymore

* Law #2: If a bad guy can alter the operating system on your computer, it's not your computer anymore

* Law #3: If a bad guy has unrestricted physical access to your computer, it's not your computer anymore

* Law #4: If you allow a bad guy to upload programs to your website, it's not your website any more

* Law #5: Weak passwords trump strong security

* Law #6: A computer is only as secure as the administrator is trustworthy

* Law #7: Encrypted data is only as secure as the decryption key

* Law #8: An out of date virus scanner is only marginally better than no virus scanner at all

* Law #9: Absolute anonymity isn't practical, in real life or on the Web

* Law #10: Technology is not a panacea

Ant bash completion

In the ant/bin folder there is a Perl file called complete-ant-cmd.pl. Check the comment at the top of the file for installation instructions. In my Ubuntu notebook I had to add “complete -C complete-ant-cmd.pl ant build.sh” to my .bashrc file and not “$ complete -C complete-ant-cmd ant build.sh” (no $ and add .pl to the command). Also, not sure why is build.sh needed in all this. Anyhow, after installing this extension command completion for Ant works great. It is a bit slow the very first time you use it but it creates a cache file called .ant-targets-... and then it is much faster.

note from the hongkong airport

Though this was published late, this was a original blog at that location

Blog Form the Hong Kong International Air

Time : Sri Lanaka 1 45 PM
: Honk Kong 3 45 PM

We 3 (ME , Amila, Sris), finally arrived at the Hong Kong International
Airport. They say that this is the best Airport around. Its one of the
best that you can get. We went shopping but seems all the electronic
equipments are bit expensive than we thought. To refresh the journey all the way up to here we first got in to CX700 and landed in Bankok, Thailand after nearly 3 hours of air time. Lucky I received the window seat there and I got this valuable experience to see the outside when the Airjet take off from the ground. This was my first flight experience and to be at the window at your first flight means that you are very lucky. Saw how the our small world can be seen from
30000 km above and the temperature sometimes around -10 C. But at the Bankok airport we never got the chance to getdown from the plane due to this security reason, thats very unfortunate for us. But leaving bangkok we arrived at Hong Kong after a another 2 and half hour of journey. And we got arroung 4 hour before the the flight to San Fransisco arrives. And then got into the San Fransisco flight and unfortunately the seats are located right in the middle row that we were never saw the outside thought the flight. The flight was almost full and all kinds of pessengers were there. This wes the tedious part of the flight and we almost felt seep 80% of the flight time. The food was served in different menus twise of the flight and Some ware good but some were not that much eatable for me. Finally we arrived at the SF and Ryan was there to meet us. we never got any trouble with the baggages and it was a relief for us.

So that how it goes , first flight completed successfully !
