Schneier on Security

[TeenDev]

I want to be Bruce Schneier when I grow up :D

[James1toknow]

Use of visual hype inducted trama,,,,, aaaaaahhhhh. On the other hand I am reading Mr, Schneier book "Secrets & Lies,, you have to read this if you are into networking and digital secrety, I can't really put the book down.

[Novinte]

Had to listen without watching, stupid directing/edition...

I just read secrets and lies released at the milenium and what he said in this video is basically what he said in the book. I mostly agree with his thoughts but i dont think its true what he said about prosecution in his book, because you cant do it on the web because it is worldwide. A Attacker with minimum expertise(a vpn service from russia) cant be pursued(if he dont make stupid mistakes) and thats why the prosecution on the Internet only works, if there is only one government on earth.

60mins tool time, very true but the hacker world is at a stage were they will take the whole safe. less time to look for a footer, vault is their then it's not mr schneier!!..

I like how for "printing" they show the "busy" icon.

Lol. Too true.

This Guy is Absoulotely Amazing

There is a lot of visual noise on this. I met Bruce at the Cape town ISF and he is a brilliant, intelligent and captivating speaker. This video does him no justice.

[GolumTR]

Bruce is a very intelligent and sensible man, but the editor either has ADD or was ordered to edit like a ten your old.

I mean they change cameras every other sentence. Visual noise.

[brianpococksurrey]

Hmm...

A bug every 10 lines of code? Maybe, but good programmers debug, look over their program, and use every known method to try to see if their program has a risk. There are some undocumented bugs (mostly only in low-level programming), but they're caught if a program is properly, and thoroughly tested.

No software is risk-free nor "uncrackable". If you have a disassembler and moderate to advanced Assembly knowledge, then everything is open-source.

Knowledge is free.

You're ignoring the fact that computers are logical while humans are emotional and will, beyond a doubt, make errors. 10 lines of code is obviously an arbitrary number but gives us an insight to the amount of coding mistakes that are made.

You show me a perfectly written piece of secure software that you've compiled, and I'll show you a hacker that put a trojan into your software by altering the compiler you used. Thinking like this is how you achieve real security.

I made that a year ago, I know just how wrong I was.

Thanks for the insight, though! :)

Why did the editor feel the need to cut to a different shot every 3 seconds? And the swirling background makes me feel woozly.

[Schneelocke]

You rock, Bruce!
