Memento posted:So how effective is it to drop a thumb drive in a company car park with a file on it called "October_2014_Redundancies.PDF" that is actually a trojan? This is literally what one of the Toool guys in that video does as his day job. Another good one is to Google the name of one of the companies higher up management guys, get a USB drive that you scuff up a little bit and then drop it in the parking lot with a little masking tape or label maker label that says "[BOSSES NAME]'S TRIP PICS PRIVATE DO NOT OPEN" on it and watch some random lower level guy rush to jam that stuff in his computer thinking he has a secret porn stash. This also works with leaving thumbdrives that have the companies main competitors logo on it with a label that says something like "[Insert whatever month it is here] Potential Buyout Proposal and Slideshow" on it. People, especially people in lower level positions who feel overworked and underpaid can get extremely petty and the best way to trick them is to play to their petty and greedy natures. Everyone is curious, and if they have a chance to see something they think that the 1%ers or whoever are hiding from them (fake budget meetings and salary/payroll also works well for this reason) they will often turn off the part of their brain that governs rational decisions. jonsicoli posted:Or Kevin Mitnick, often considered one of the most famous hackers of all time, did most of his hacks this way. Although he had a sort of ace in his sleeve, he would use phone company networks to make his number appear to be coming from inside the company or from one of the companies other offices. If people think you are from their company they often don't even bother to use internal security measures that are supposed to get around these hacks (like passwords that aren't entered into any computer).

Effective enough that some companies and the US government have a blanket ban on being able to plug thumb drives into their computers at all.

Life hack: supplement your day job with a little espionage. It's really easy because no matter how many security powerpoints you give, people are generally friendly and helpful to strangers and stupid / curious about things lying on the ground. Most attempts by outside people brought in to evaluate security succeed, even against supposedly "hardened" targets like government installations because even when it's their specific job to keep people out, sure you can come in and wait for your cousin who is meeting you for lunch, oh you are carrying a big box let me get the door for you. Edit: and it's not a ban on thumb drives like a policy rule, it's been literally disabled (often at a hardware level) or booby trapped to immediately notify IT / security that there is a retard on the second floor who needs to have a serious and frank talk about their job or lack thereof if it happens again. Of course it's all mostly pointless because the smart people just waltz around your security designed to stop low hanging fruit because truly locking something down impacts usability, specifically of upper management (the worst offenders by far) and so never gets implemented. You can't stop someone from escaping with a "lady gaga" cd full of state secrets, the best you can so is stop the most common inadvertent leakage. Sometimes.

El Estrago Bonito posted:security stuff This is amazingly interesting stuff. A buddy of mine works at a Fortune 50 (not a typo) company, and the stories he tells me about corporate espionage are far more interesting than any spy stories I've ever read. I've been sworn to secrecy for most of the good stuff, but I can tell you about a call I got from him last week. He's at a relatively small manufacturing facility in a rural area. They don't do any fun crazy experimental R&D stuff there, they pretty much assemble things and ship them out. "Hey, Fai, guess how many unique attacks there were on our data systems. I bet you can't guess." "Dude, I don't know. Seven hundred?" "Two-hundred thousand." "gently caress, all that this month?" "No, that was before lunch."

I knew someone who shared this "tip" as something she did as a matter of course some years after she had graduated college and had a good job. It drove me crazy. She'll grow up to be the kind of old lady who filches sugar packets, except she'll be doing it at 43.

Instant coffee's kind of like Crystal Light, stuff that dissolves into water to make the actual drink rather than brewing it like tea or normal coffee. Most instant coffee is nasty. The best I've had is Trader Joe's store brand.

They make coffee bags. They're not bad. My father used to get them, but he was old and had Parkinson's disease so they were by far the easiest thing for him to use. They definitely tasted better than instant coffee.

Did it used to be 18 and they added one for extra value? Does 19 keep it under a certain weight where 20 is just too much?
