[NBLUG/talk] Blog about the Sony hack and the MS Windows registry

[Omar Eljumaily]

Thanks Sujit.  I'm working on a sort of configuration minder/store for 
Linux (that I mentioned previously here) that hopefully I will be able 
to open source within a few months.  I'm learning a lot for that, and 
will probably run into the issues that you are bringing up.

The issue of obfuscation, either done purposely or not, is a problem for 
security, I think.  When things are super complex, it gives lots of 
opportunity to exploit the complexity.

Another very good example of that issue is Bitcoin, which very few 
people understand, and some of the people who do have been able to 
exploit the complexity.  Just my take.

Thanks,

Omar
