Not a really an exciting week in security, except for some new MyDoom variants, Firefox vulnerabilities, and Checkpoint buffer overflows. There's also some moronic ssh brute force activity going on. I've seen some failed logins for guest, test, admin, and root from hosts such as 195.182.228.9, 211.68.120.41, 134.21.2.227, 61.193.179.162, 211.224.128.142. Not to single them out, or anything. It's just pretty stupid.
I recently saw The Bourne Supremacy and I, Robot. The former was quite good, but the shaky camera motion made me sick; the latter had impressive computer-generated models and breathtaking camera angles, yet included almost no plot or storyline. I probably should have read the book before seeing The Bourne Supremacy, though, oh well.
My second week of work was good. I'm slowly becoming more comfortable with the environment and operating procedures at igxglobal. I have some long-term projects now, which will undoubtedly test the strength of my organizational skills, as well as problem-solving skills. The commute has not improved, though. The trip home (Hackensack -> North Brunswick) still can take anywhere from fifty minutes to two hours, depending on the idiocy of the commuters.
