What should I do when my boss asks me to fabricate audit log data? "Should I cut and run now?" What's stopping you from leaving? The request is unethical. Why not leave right now? What's preventing you? |

Aren't permanantly logged in accounts inherently insecure? @nealmcb: Are you saying I can't use it as a generic term? If so, what's the generic term for using more than one factor? |

Aren't permanantly logged in accounts inherently insecure? @KeithB: Correct. Indeed, you might be able to buy a few cups of coffee for sysadmins at Starbucks and get passwords without using any technical means. Social engineering works wonders. |

Aren't permanantly logged in accounts inherently insecure? Do you realize how many candidate 64-bit cookie values there are? Do the math. I think you'll find that heat death of the universe occurs before any kind of "eventually" test that probes random hash codes looking for a winner. |
