Hacking the CPU using Java

This just came into my Snarfer!

How can I not love the fact that hacking the CPU - the hardware - is the next big threat? I mean, how do you patch a CPU?

IT-manager: "Oh, its patch day. Let me just shut down the boxes."
(Shuts down most boxes in the server room)
IT-slave: "Oh, so silent it suddenly became. It's almost as when I was a kid, and only had my Nintendo DS to play with!"
IT-manager: "Yea, well, lettus gedon widdit."
(They open each box, snap out the CPU, add a transistor or two to the CPU, stick it back in there, and put the lid back on. )
IT-manager: "Cross the fingers, and hit the POWER button."
IT-slave: "Please, please, pretty please, let the main server start again."
(The server spins up, lamps blinking red, green and blue. An ambient light comes out of the cup-holder and after a few seconds, the screen flickers blue, then black, and finally back to blue. A Log-On screen appears on the screen).
IT-manager: "Ah, it worked again. God, I miss the days with automatic updates from Microsoft."
IT-slave: "Yea, when do you think Intel will start with automatic updates?"

A must-read from Security Coin

A quick link for you today! 

Security Coin (a blogger - not cash) gives some very appropriate comments on the anti-phishing e-mail encryption tool from Voltage!  

I have not tested the secure email solution from Voltage, so I have to take the Random Infosec Guy on his words about the solution.

 

Airport Security Video - the TSA Gangstaz

When things are taken to extremes, there will always be jokers out there taking advantage. Airport security has been a long time standing joke.

This music video takes things to the extreme alright!
