Decision Making: Exploring beyond your bounded awareness



Here I am going to talk a bit about what bounded awareness blocks crucial and critical information from registering into our consciousness. You could be a CEO, a Project Manager, a Father/Mother facing a teen issue, just about anyone. Now getting locked into this kind of mode will not help us come to a decision which might help us make a Killer Decision.

Here I talk about my experience from my maritime career where I kind of compare it with a situation in dense traffic in a busy English Channel. It's real busy channel and you are navigating with all possible means.
  • Radars
  • Watchmen
  • Extra watch on the forecastle (front part of your ship)
  • multiple GPS
  • Land Bearings (taking positions of multiple landmarks/beacons to mark them on the chart)
  • Advanced Electronic Charts
  • And lots more by now I'm sure (I quit in 99)
Still known and experienced Captains have had head on collisions! Why? Listen to what I have to say about it.

We will also continue the article later...

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op...
