Things I learned at DEFCON15.
1) No matter how many firewalls and how much encryption you have on your box in your room, it won't matter when the thief picks your lock, your deadbolt, your combo lock and clones your RFID keycard in less than 4 minutes when you leave for work.
2) Change all your passwords. If I get on your wireless (which I can, even if you encrypt it) I can steal your passwords for chat, email, forum access, myspace, whether or not you use HTTPS protocol.
3) Pay cash for everything. Credit cards are traceable, clone-able, and steal-able. I pay my bill online, too. It uses the HTTPS protocol. I'm safe, right? (see above)
4) Change your locks on your door, and don't just buy the cheapest one (see above).
5) I'm not appreciated at my job.
6) Joe "$Kingpin$" Grand is a badass.
7) RFID in your password is currently a very bad idea. I watched someone read birth certificates, photos, and travel info off the RFID in an English passport. Then he cloned it, as well as cloning Vet tags in an animal and 2 door access key cards. I'm sure it'll get better, but currently this isn't the safest way to secure ANYTHING.
