@mcepl, I think fellow in question is Czech. Maybe I should show him this conversation so he won't hate me anymore. (Wait,do you hate me? :)
about a year ago from web-
Someone whom I didn't know & wouldn't let into building just told me USAmericans are bad people b/c they won't break such rules. #coworking
-
@bkuhn what? People break those kinds of rules all the time because they are trying to be *too* nice in situations like that.
-
@x1101, He argued I was a mean person for not bending rules & said he saw this more often in USA than his home country (I don't know where).
-
@bkuhn well, I am saying this 'he' is full of shit, and you're security aware.
-
@x1101 Most of social engineering hinges on peoples tendency to be too nice.
Bradley M. Kuhn likes this. -
@nybill most?
-
@x1101 Yea, some of it IMO is planned out, researched, and targeted.
-
@windigo alright already, password changed to ARSEHOLE ;)
-
Ha ha ha, that would be excellent - especially if you read it out to them. "Okay, your new password is alpha, romeo, sierra..." :)
-
I'll get the certificates ready! :D
-
Uh huh, come back to us when you grow up and have had a job where you may be lucky if all you got was fired for a security violation.
-
@dno, yeah, that's the point. It's b/c I deeply grok how successful strong social engineering can work that I'm such a stickler on rules.
-
@bkuhn who could hate you? That's just silly.
-
@nybill, yeah, now I have to consider whether the guy is on a long-con social engineering. OTOH, I saw his key work a door when I saw him.
-
@sandersch, ZOMG. There's a USENET thread called "Blowhard Bradley Kuhn and his fraud". On the Internet, everyone's hated by at least 15 ppl
-
@bkuhn they just disagree, but don't hate you. People only hate people like me.
-
@sandersch but you thrive on it man
-
@r7 it's my reason for living.
-
@sandersch and we love you for it ;-)
-
@xoke not in love, but hate? I think not.
-
@sandersch a few, I was thinking of certain people that were allegedly involved in the launching of furniture through the air...
-
@bkuhn Heh, well as long as you're on your toes. I'd hate to see you become a statistic. ;)
-
IMO all rules & laws must be followed unless one articulates clearly those laws are immoral& *must* then engage in public civil disobedience
-
@bkuhn that is exactly why I know so much about California's jaywalking laws
-
Yeah youre right
-
@mcepl @bkuhn isn't English. He's from #Baltimore.
-
@bkuhn only 15?
-
Disagree that there's a point here. Taking office sec seriously at your job is an American failing? I call BS
-
So, ok, we're widely hated out there. I get that and very much understand. But letting strangers into your work building? Ridiculous
-
An apple rant from me. Short version. They suck. Bad language too! http://ur1.ca/91p5q
