    I remember a joke email I got once

    "We are very poor techno terrorists, so we would be grateful if you would delete something important on your machine and then tell everyone you were hacked by us"

    Or something like that... made me chuckle.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Two years later, it's almost impossible to find online info about Kobe. If you do a general search with Bing or Google, you just aren't going to get a relevant hit. However, if you do a search on, say, eweek.com, you can get a little more info: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/Wi...s-Find-502218/

    It's already forgotten, but Matousec's bogus alert generated reams of commentary in 2010. Now, if you go to Matousec's site and do a search for Kobe, you get dumped into some crappy search engine that does an Internet search without searching Matousec.com at all. Yeah, that inspires confidence in Matousec's integrity. Heck! I didn't even know there was a search site called Wee-B-Hos.com.


    Frankly, I was hoping that I might generate a response from either R2D2 or C-threepio, and actually discuss Matousec's firewall tests. oh well. I'll get back to the topic later.
