VDPIN rant

Postby shui » Tue Oct 10, 2006 9:04 pm

In the year 2010, every possible way of securing a computer against online attack could be bypassed in seconds with the right software. So some brilliant sys admin came up with the idea of wiring a simple logic game that could be solved by a 20 year old computer in a matter of seconds into his security. Suddenly his system is hack-proof.

What the hell is up with that?

The thing that really pisses me off is that it works. In the game, I can crack the most secure government databases with ease, and yet a children's toy stumps me.

Clearly the reason Windows is so insecure is because they rely on Windows Firewall rather than Minesweeper.

VDPIN is standard? Did I miss something?

I'm deeply confused :(
