logging failures i can see the particular stupid logic of (“we need it for troubleshooting”) but why on earth would you log a hashed password on success? what operational capability does that provide?

how is that even an “exploit.” “you can exploit the library to download and run arbitrary code by using the built-in feature designed to let you download and run arbitrary code.”

ate poo poo on live tv posted:This seems like a fine question even if you are blind. As long as you have the clock defined as a mathematical construct, which it already is, it's a circle with discrete hours defined every 30 degree's and minutes defined every 6 degrees. Then you are just asking the person to do some geometry with the "cleverness" to understand how a clock works. For a millennial or a blind person who has no concept of an analog clock you just explicitly define the clock for them. an interview question that uses a concept that is intimately familiar to one subset of respondents but alien to another seems risky from a fairness perspective. even if your explanation of an analog clock is really good, the people who need it explained are going to have to use part of their brain to for understanding it that the other group will be able to use on the programming problem itself.

Achmed Jones posted:nah i misunderstood. "bottom" was for bdsm thing, not for "gay guy who prefers a certain type of sex". when read correctly it's fine fwiw i read “bottom” as the bdsm kind and had the same reaction because i didn’t realize that it was supposed to reference a specific archetype of sub rather than generalizing across the whole category

Subjunctive posted:FB got a lot of education (including security education) mileage out of little posters above urinals and on the back of washroom stall doors. the qr codes were a little awkward over the urinals, but they always put one by the door or some other “safe” spot so you could reasonably aim your camera the security education required you to scan a random QR code you found in a bathroom stall?

there's some ops guy at work who is trying to write some script to a monitor a thing. nobody has asked him for this. nobody wants it except him. but he's running into trouble because the only api that can be used to monitor it can't be invoked by an arbitrary script running somewhere. so he comes to me to ask my recommendation for how to handle it. he doesn't like my answer of "don't, nobody ask you to do this," and then we have this conversation: him: how do backend services use this api? me: their iam roles give them permission to do it him: oh, can i get that permission attached to a role i can assume? me: no him: i'm pretty sure that's possible no poo poo it's possible dude, i'm just not going to do it. this guy spends half his time complaining that my team builds things insufficiently securely and the other half of his time requesting nonsense like this.

CommieGIR posted:He gives you poo poo about insecurity and yet he wants to attach his monitoring script to the api and get elevated privileges to do so? Why can't he just do what he wants through log aggregation and monitoring of said logs? for stupid historical reasons that are not his fault he doesn't have access to our logs. but this is because there's a huge loving wall between what he does and what we do, and the thing he's been told to do is throw some data over the wall (into an s3 bucket) and forget about it. but he wants to monitor everything we do with the data once he throws it over despite, again, him not being asked to do that in any way by anyone

at the london science museum many years ago there was an exhibit called "don't touch." it was a big metal column with a big sign reading "DON'T TOUCH" on it. it hummed with the sound of electricity. on the floor was a big sign with arrows pointing to it reading "DON'T TOUCH." there was a convenient bench nearby where you could sit and watch person after person walk up to it, touch it, and get angry that it shocked them.

a couple of jobs ago one of the staff engineers started a voluntary salary survey and shared it to the entire company as his hackathon project. he was smart enough to only do it after he'd made himself unfireable, which was good, because the c-suite was incensed.

well-read undead posted:this is a super clear no-one-good-answer topic, because the characteristics of your deployment environment matter a huge amount. web app? fire poo poo out there, you can roll it back instantly if things go bad. mobile/desktop app? now a fix/rollback requires end users to receive an update, so you gotta be more careful. embedded software in an on prem device? lol idk how the gently caress that poo poo works at all plus, in some domains, change risk can vary over time - the correct deployment philosophy might be different on black friday or new year’s eve than then it was the week before. when reading someone else’s confident prescriptions about the correct way to do deployments, pay close attention to how well their circumstances match your own.

the one phishing test email i fell for was purportedly from hr right before halloween asking us to not wear inappropriate costumes on the holiday - and which included a link to pictures of past colleagues making bad costume choices. yeah, i clicked the "look at pictures of your racist and/or slutty coworkers" link. the only consequence was a popup calling me an idiot so i'm not mad.

a couple of jobs after that one the security team sent out an email announcing mandatory security training and the cto immediately followed it with an email saying "that was phishing, don't click it." it was not.
