Police website got hacked, so what?

How-to: Cloning a (Laptop) Hard Drive using DD over the network
As hard drives are growing, dying or trying to evade us, the need for cloning disks are growing fast. There are many uses for cloning disks, including: forensics work - you need an exact copy of the drive in order to reconstruct the data backup - you need an exact copy of the drive in order to restore it when (not if) the drive dies, or the data is lost outgrowning the disk - the oh-so-big disk you got some years ago is stuffed and ready to explode stealing the content - you may want to copy the contents from someone else without their consent (this is illeg

Security 2009 report
As promised, here is a report from the Security 2009 Conference that took place in Oslo in October. The conference had focus on security issues related to the current economic situation, and how to deal with these issues. IMHO, the conference fell a bit too heavy on product vendors jerking off from the stage, although most of them did quite well at controlling their need to mission their own solutions to be the right one for all. As we all know, there is no "one-size-fits-all" when it comes to security. It all depends on the risk profile of the organization, and their security strategy to uphold their profile. I'll hold my horses for now, this post is a report, not a rant...

Why am I not surprised? We need to find efficient ways of controling and fightin
