My friends at other fine mastheads have been reporting things too, but they’re out drinking so fuck ‘em. http://arseh.at/709 #auscert
Since I’m on @zdnetaustralia’s team this week I’ll pimp once more. All today’s #AusCERT coverage is at http://arseh.at/708
On the shuttle bus back to the hotel. An early night is needed before another early start. #auscert
@BernardKeane No no Mr Anderson is my physically here at the Gold Coast conference. I just saw a current image.
Gawd Fairfax’s Doug Anderson looks like a lizard that the dog buried in the back yard for a few weeks and dug up ‘cos it felt depressed.
OH: “Fuckin’ NBN!” #auscert
First @zdnetaustralia photo gallery from #auscert is @mkotadia’s “AusCERT 2011: Booth babes and all” http://arseh.at/6zw #auscert
Me at @zdnetaustralia: “Son of Stuxnet within a year: expert” http://arseh.at/6zv #auscert
MOAR DRINKZ! #auscert
@piawaugh Blunt is what I do, of course. /cc @AUSFestivus
@deconstructo @benpobjie Dodos and tapirs are not interchangeable. I should know. I learned this the hard way.
@AUSFestivus @piawaugh Bah! All data is a “file”. All size limits are arbitrary, the result of under-resourced networks. [ducks]
@Steve_Lockstep As I hear all these key-hiding techniques being described, I’m thinking this whole field is somehow wrong. #AusCERT
@sylmobile At the end of a long day about industrial control security, it’s more slow head-nodding than dancing.
“Key management is epic fail for many systems.” #auscert
@AndrewRJamieson The lighting on your bald spot is fine, Andrew. How long does it take to set up a strategy for these attacks? #auscert
Another @zdnetaustralia story filed! I can now pay proper attention to this presentation, which is being punctuated by songs. #auscert
I see @agarner is tweeting this session on resilient networks, while I’m sorta busy finishing off a story about something else. #auscert
If your organisation is affected by a natural disaster you may become the victim of a media-generated DDoS attack. #auscert
“We are in a Golden Age for disaster recovery,” what with number and severity of natural disasters of late. #auscert
@bengrubb @darrenpauli Perhaps we could have some sort of cross-masthead security-related cheese-fest later? With wine? #auscert
@bengrubb It comes from working in live radio. You have to listen to the on-air program and cue other material and talk on the phone.
@bengrubb I have half my headphones in. I’m listening to both things at once. Well, flipping between. #AusCERT

RT @glengyron: “Cruise missile grade software” written in billions of lines of poorly compiled Ada? #auscert [Oh. Um. Yes. I guess.]
Me at @zdnetaustralia: “Firms ignore ID theft risk”, says @BennettArron http://arseh.at/6zl #auscert
I say “the expert” because I haven’t checked whether this conversation is outside Chatham House right now. #auscert
“Son of Stuxnet” only a year or two away. And Stuxnet was “cruise missile grade software”, says the expert. #auscert
Gosh @JuliaGillard aren’t you busy enough doing things like, oh, running Australia without dancing to the tune of tabloid arsehats fools?
+1000 RT @NewtonMark: Excellent. A Prime Ministerial statement on #planking. Just what the world needed. http://arseh.at/6zh #ffs
Hah! Penetration technique into SCADA system: Mock up Siemens documentation CD/DVD, with Stuxnet inside the PDFs. Mail it in. #auscert
What if the US Declaration of Independence had online comments? http://arseh.at/6zg HT @johnemcintyre
Eric Byres now speaking on SCADA security in a post-Stuxnet world. http://arseh.at/6ze #auscert
“Amazon cloud used in PlayStation Network hack” http://arseh.at/6zc Ping #auscert people!
RT @NewtonMark: I just love hearing people from electrical utilities theorize about the NBN :) #auscert [Hah! Theorising is democracy!]
“From the Smart Meter point of view, every device in the house is potentially hostile.” Where is the network boundary? #auscert
I don’t think ANY #AusCERT is streamed live, @jonoabroad, some sessions happen under Chatham House rules. Can someone confirm? Video later.
@cynthiabadiey Oops, sorry, I’m talking Australian. “Compo” is “compensation”.
Shameless plug: @zdnetaustralia’s #AusCERT coverage kicks off with @mkotadia’s video and story at http://arseh.at/6z9
RT @cynthiabadiey: Anyone else have the post-SuiteWorld virus? Symptoms include scratchy throat, body aches… #nsw11 [Yep. Can haz compo?]
Patch Monday podcast revised: “Social business + cloud != revolution” with @dahowlett http://arseh.at/6z6 #nsw11
@firstdogonmoon Better version: “There’s no I in team but there is a U in cunt.” #crikeyisms
Patch Monday podcast: “Social business + cloud = revolution” http://arseh.at/6z6 #nsw11 [Headline logic opposite of what I filed?]
Bennett Aaron’s TV documentary “How To Steal An Identity” is at http://arseh.at/6z5
Bennett Arron sets up stall offering “free identity protection”, only 1 in 20-odd people do NOT hand over all their ID to his scam. #auscert
@deconstructo No no, I’m at the AusCERT Conference. “Ouch” because… well… you’ll see the video in due course.
Ouch. #auscert
This’ll be fun. #auscert

Op-ed filed for @technologyspec. It includes the phrase “if you fancied fancy functionality”, which pleases me. But then I’m easily amused.
RT @lyndons: I always mix metaphors for breakfast: 1 part Vodka, 2 parts Espresso, 1 teaspoon Kahlua :) [Jaysus wept, that’s fierce.]
Mixing metaphors. Grrr.
@jeffsonstein Thanks, Jeff. For some reason I seem to write my best headlines before 6am while working in my underpants.
“Patch Monday” podcast filed. Working title is “Social business + cloud != revolution” and it’ll be online mid-morning Sydney time. #nsw11
Mon plan: Wrap up “Patch Monday” podcast and a @technologyspec op-ed, then lotsa writing from the AusCERT conference http://arseh.at/5se
@The_Knuckle You’d be finding that @mkotadia and I are here at #auscert for @zdnetaustralia, with some others.
Why Business loves the Cloud, by @onefte http://arseh.at/6yx Ping @mkotadia @bhaverty HT @AlisterAir
Hello, Monday. Please be gentle with me.
