Reading Jeremiah Grossman’s recent post on what’s happening, and what’s to come reminds me of what network security used to be like: attacks on the infrastructure has caused plenty of damages, and thus the effort focused on defending against them.  This has led to the current (relatively more matured) state of the network and hosts security domain.

It’s hard for people to care about anticipated dangers, till it becomes true on a large scale or when it happens to them, sad but true.

Nonetheless, it’s high time industries/companies/individuals start to look seriously into attacks at the web application level, because it has been the path of least resistance for the attackers for a long time already.

And time for the whitehats to really prepare the answers needed by the masses in time to come.

Ok, I probably didn’t put the point across properly previously, so let’s try again:

For those who do use public WiFi, here’s a good chance to protect your web traffic from sniffers at ZERO MINIMUM COST! :)

Am starting off with SecureMe for the more technically inclined.

(Heh, it’s pretty fun to be typing this from outside whilst using SecureMe.  But that’s not the point.)

If you’re ok/familiar with installing + basic configuration of software (namely an OpenVPN client) and know how to configure your browser to use proxies, you’re the guys/gals I’m looking for!

Let me know if you wish to have a VPN + proxy + DNS resolver service for no minimum cost (read: donorware should you feel like it).  Am limiting this offer to the first two people for now.  (The same offer still stands for those who’ve responded to my earlier call for helpers, so don’t worry.)

The only things I need of you:

1) you need to be savvy enough to at least know how to install stuff on your computer, and to configure your browser

2) also, it would be good if you can help me in my efforts to make his easier for the less technically inclined.  Not a requirement though :P

So…let me know if you want to try this out for free!  I promise to keep it free/donorware for these two respondents as long as I can run this service ;)

You can contact me via Twitter or Facebook (you should be able to find the links at least), or if you’re paranoid enough not to use these services you could alternatively email me at secureme{@T}rayfoo[dot]info and I’ll get back to ya asap.
