I particularly like the Arecibo message part. Shame the OG site doesn't seem to be up, but glad there's a waybackmachine link in the post


Sadly the domain name was from Freenom. All of the names registered with them have gone. I can't find a way to get my Mali domains back.


Oof. That's a shame. I've seen some folks automatically switching out dead links on their blog with archive.org versions. Is that something you're doing, or did you manually switch the ones you knew were gone?

I really do think more of us should be focussing on the "reasonable person" approach to this tech. Yes, it feels like magic. Yes, it's an amazing technological leap forward.

Good advice, particularly the point about not capturing conversations word for word. Much better to get the gist correct than strive to get everything exactly (and inevitably end up missing things).

I also like the "How Might We..." post-it strategy (outlined in http://www.thesprintbook.com/). That turns each point into an actionable question with a positive-spin.


> When the gate guard was deciding whether to let him in, they started bonding over the thermos he brought. Like, You got that thermos? My wife bought me that thermos! I’ve got the same one. And he’s like, all right, I’ll let you in.

I'm always amazed by the "social engineering" factor in these kinds of attacks. No matter how high your password-entropy, you're still going to get penetrated if you actually tell it to someone when they ask...
