These Passwords seem Pointless

Jun 9 2015

Spotted in an American airport.

So very predictable.

Why go to all the trouble and cost to print this – on good card stock at that – but why not add a little effort and create proper logins & passwords?  And print only monthly? I wouldn’t connect to this network.

Remember, airport WiFi is the most dangerous network in the world.

Airport WiFi looks like this – here

It’s the most dangerous network in the world – here

Which is why I don’t use it – here

A Fast Way to Hide Information in a Photo

May 25 2015

Using a phone’s basic photo editing capabilities…

How to:

1 – take photo, in a dark location, with flash
2 – send
3 – tell recipient to lighten the photo

See? Black box-ish until lightened.

Possible applications:

– recipient has texts set to display on the lock screen

– recipient is in a crowded room, people are shoulder surfing

‘Natural Licence Plate Disguise Season’ is Back On

May 21 2015

I declared it over back in March, but then saw this last week, so now I declare the season to be back on.

(Jokes aside, this is a terrible idea that will get you pulled over real fast.)

A Quick Way to Defeat a Padlock

May 19 2015

The Attack

Forget breaching the lock.

Instead, remove the plate and loop the lock is attached to.

The Defence

Install the plates and loops on the inside of the doors.

Same thinking as to why the hinges on your home’s exterior doors are located inside your house, or should be.

Writing a Country Song about Phishing

May 8 2015

My neighbour and I started writing a country song last night.

A video posted by Keri Blog (@keriblog) on May 7, 2015 at 7:33pm PDT

I had a virus, now nobody emails me” 

Brian: I used to talk on email all the time, but then I got a virus
Keri: what did it do?
Him: told everyone I thought they were fat
Me: snort
Him: I told them it was a virus, but no one believed it and stopped talking to me
Me: (this happens) 

Ahh Thursday night, best night of the week. Bet I jacknifed 4 times, got invited to a party and was even drunk dialled, my favourite.

(why it’s the best night, and blog tag = #ThursdayNight)
