eyes is that CNN covered a college football coachquitting today instead ofspending the entire day on this story. And theIranian protests, too - nowthere's a much more significant story.
That's because football and protests in Iran actually *matter*. ;)
It's the old SIEM saw - how do you find the data you really *need* to see? In reality, most of your IDS alerts are as useful as your average router syslog message - or less. Without a plan and some good technology you spend entirely too much energy focusing on trivial crap (and still in the end miss the Big One). The Detroit Self-Immolater deserves more press than the college coach thing, but not infinitely more. You're still infinitely unlikely to encounter an airplane bomber, but you will lose the football pool. -chris -chris _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
