Listers, Kindly fill in the survey. Best Regards ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Dawit Bekele <bekele(a)isoc.org> Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2014 22:36:33 +0000 Subject: [AfrICANN-discuss] Fw: ONLINE COMMUNICATIONS AND CONFIDENTIALITY – WHAT DO YOU NEED? To: "africann(a)afrinic.net" <africann(a)afrinic.net> ONLINE COMMUNICATIONS AND CONFIDENTIALITY – WHAT DO YOU NEED? Date published04 August 2014 Tech Matters<http://www.internetsociety.org/blog/tech-matters> Christine Runnegar<http://www.internetsociety.org/who-we-are/people/ms-christine-runnegar> Director, Public Policy RSS<http://www.internetsociety.org/blog/author/583/feed> Subscribe<http://www.internetsociety.org/node/583> [http://www.internetsociety.org/sites/default/files/styles/470px_wide/public…] When you posted last night’s party photo on social media, did you think about who might get access to that photo and how it might be used? When you sent an email to your friends about your government’s policies, who did you think would be reading that email? When you searched online for medical treatments, did you think anyone would be tracking your searches? Communicating Confidentially There are many reasons why Internet users might wish to be anonymous online, keep the content they are reading or sharing confidential, and why they may not want others to know which services they are using – privacy; personal security; concerns about surveillance by governments or private companies; concerns about potential repercussions for statements made in social media and/or hosting blogs for “cyber-activists”; and concerns about conclusions that may be drawn about them based on what they see and communicate on the Internet, to name a few. Each use case might require different tools and strategies. To better understand the problem space, we would like to collect information from Internet users that will help us gain a more complete understanding of their needs and expectations for confidential communications online. Take the Survey! The Internet Society invites you to participate in an online survey to help us better understand what are your needs and expectations when it comes to communicating confidentially online. Click here<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/confidcommunications> to start the survey. The survey will remain open until 26 August 2014. Please help us gather more information by sharing the survey invitation with interested people. Thanks in advance for your help with this initiative. -- Barrack O.

HACKING IS NOT ABOUT TOOLS
by Gichuki John Chuksjonia 04 Aug '14

04 Aug '14

There is this notion i have seen with different Security Firms which believe as long as they have tools, they can do penetration testing for everyone. This is wrong, since real blackhat hackers, the ones whom are defending your clients from don't use automation to break into these infrastructures. Script Kids will do that, and if a Security Firm is doing that too, then you hired script-kids-company (quarks) too. I think its important people start doing things with passion especially with the service industry, get into extra miles, show these organizations how real blackhats will bypass restrictions and security, not nmap an metasplout snapshots. Lets stop failing our country, especially with Cyber Warfare already backing each door in our infrastructures. ./Chucks -- -- Gichuki John Ndirangu, C.E.H , C.P.T.P, O.S.C.P I.T Security Analyst and Penetration Tester jgichuki at inbox d0t com {FORUM}http://lists.my.co.ke/pipermail/security/ http://chuksjonia.blogspot.com/
