Man Accuses Samsung of Keylogger; Got It Wrong : Read more

 

[alikum]

LOL. A man trying to gain fame without proper analysis! Shame on you! You call yourself a security expert? Relying on only 1 tool and not verify your claims???? Dude, you sure are one heck of an expert!

Wow, I work in the IT Industry and it's pretty damn easy to differentiate between spyware and a freaking language pack. I mean, what, did he think the directory had Microsoft published INIs as a trick? At the very least he didn't think of running multiple anti-virus programs? And no, keyloggers aren't "virtually undetectable": the areas of the registry where StarLogger sets it's self to start are pretty well known and if a Security Consultant doesn't know HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run by heart then that's just sad.

 

[okibrian]

Yeah, he gained fame alright...but I don't think it's a good thing here. How is going to look to NetSec Consulting Corp for security consulting now?

 

[wannaturnuptheheat]

Biggest oops in recent tech history, I tell you what...

 

[goatsetung]

Whooops..... eh, yea.... nevermind guys, I uh.... nevermind. Hey look over there!

Notoriety is earned.

Making the claim "The findings are false positive-proof since I have used the tool that discovered it for six years now and I am yet to see it misidentify an item throughout the years." goes to show that he is a fool and it's inexcusable.

There's no such thing as a defect free antivirus application. Vipre isn't even in the top ten.

 

[nebun]

take a look at his name, lol...how did he get all those certifications?

 

[heycarnut]

Here in the Silicon Valley, anyone that puts a string of 'certificates' after their name in print is laughed at: bozo factor is nearly certain.

QED

An Adjunct Professor at UoP? Isn't that like Jr. Custodian at Wendy's? Is that 'school' even accredited?

In any case, I hope NW salvages what is left of their reputation by having this neophyte, and his cohort, walk the plank. Any customer of his company should RUN not walk, to the competition.

i very much agree with you on this one

 

[killerclick]

You idiots already forgot about HBGary?

 

[eddieroolz]

Language Pack. Ouch...

 

[back_by_demand]

If you rearrange the letters after his name is spells
"Epic fail loser"
Give or take a few letters

Vipre is one of the best antivirus and antispyware programs on the market. It is not a free application and its worth the money especially in a business environment that is dominated by terrible products like SEP11 and McAfee.

what an ace! I hope he got fired

 

[shadowamazon]

University of Phoenix? what do you expect?

 

[tommysch]

U of Phoenix... ROFL. They dont use VirusTotal it seems.

 

[ProDigit10]

Bwahahaa!
And they need to have a masters degree for that?

He probably was hoping to win a case, without knowing they would see if they could verify these findings?

 

[of the way]

...someone needs a different line of work.

 

[Guest]

So, because the tool has never been wrong in his experience before, it can't possibly be wrong now and he blindly trusts it without doing ANY other research?

IMHO: What a complete utter moron and fool.

 

[chick0n]

This guy is getting paid how much every year to spread "bs" again?

so much for being an "expert"

 

[Marco925]

I hope he doesn't put this in his CV

 

[The_Prophecy]

Oops... bet he's rather rad in the face now! Lesson to everyone... always verify stuff like this so you're sure you know what you're talking about!

 

[cookoy]

reminds me of the saying "The Titanic was built by professionals/experts and the ark was built by an amateur." If he were to grade himself, what would he get? F for fail.

 

[Guest]

Wow. Career fail.
