Mitigating Risk

As an IT security professional, you don’t often get a chance to say: “And in this picture, you see me mitigating risk”.

  2. G’day Didier,

    I saw your ad experiment so i thought i’d give you my feedback.
    I run Windows cause I’m comfy with it and lazy and I need it for work stuff.
    I run this PC in sacrificial lamb mode.
    Nevertheless I’m carefull on clicking.
    1st thought was “Well-duh!”
    2nd thought was must be a joke.
    3rd thought was that it was experiment/trap.
    4th thought was don’t ask for trouble.
    Conclusion don’t click. (But I might have just for fun)

    Great experiment. Generated many interesting comments.

    I’m also downloading your Olly plugin - looks good.

    and I like your binary tools.
    I have 2 tools like this.
    Choptext - chops lines of text (left or right) at a column.
    MakeSDF - tidies sdf files, but mainly i use it for left/right trimming of lines.
    You’re welcome to them, but they’re in QB3.
    One day I’ll get around to add your ideas.

    Regards,
    Leigh

  3. [...] Didier is an IT security professional and seems to have a clever curiousity about how security works in the real world. Read about Didier’s experiment to test how the Google ad machine may be used for ill intent here. This experiment led to the listing in Fortune’s Top tech flops here. Way to do Didier! [...]
