You guys make me nervous in your analyzing how best to hack storage...

Not to worry. Nothing was said that wouldn't be covered the first day in Hacking 101. Unfortunately that may not make you rest easy.

Puna,

I have alot of money in NTAP and the last thing I and especially the company needs help with, is a hackers guide to access their storage systems via public threads.

I also have a lot of money in NTAP, and was one of the early NTAP fans here, along with DS and a few others. Trust me, no security hobbyist is going to get ideas on what to do from idle talk on SI. That is like saying that EMC is going to decide on product strategy based on what one of us posts here.

I think that one of the most useful things about SI is that we, as shareholders, can discuss aspects of the company and its products that investor relations departments prefer to gloss over or even sweep under the carpet. Security issues are one such thing; it seems that there's an implicit truce among many IT vendors not to bring up any product's security vulnerabilities.

Conventional wisdom in security is that the more open the system is, the more likely it is to evolve into a secure system.

Security by obscurity is like closing your eyes and concluding that you're now invisible.

The more discussion about the security of a system, the better.
