Note to the Oak Ridge National Lab security team

Quizikle left a comment to yesterday's post about the unfortunate subversion of the ORLN network:

Here's how to make a computer 100% secure:
Don't connect it to the Internet.
Don't turn it on. No...come to think of it, that doesn't work. Don't plug it in.

It made me think of Marcus Ranum's classic Ultimate Firewall, now updated to include Intrusion Prevention and Deep Packet Inspection Application Security.

That's some security, right there.

If you are interested in security, or want the distilled security wisdom of the ages, this is a good place to start.  Painless, too.
