$100 Answers

$100 Answers is a series of posts that provide relatively brief answers to common information security questions. The name $100 Answers is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the types of "quick" questions I get from clients.

If you have a question that you'd like to submit for a $100 Answer, send an email describing your question to kevin@k2dd.com with a subject line that begins with "[$100 Question]" (without the quotes).

Dedication

  • My grandfather had a wonderful shop in his basement. To me, it was a place of mystery and fascination, and I would spend hours wandering through it, looking at all the tools and projects in various states of completion. Not being much of a wood worker, I've never had the need for such a shop (not to mention that I lack a basement), but recently it occurs to me that my gear, computers, and software are my shop. This site is for my late grandfather and everyone else who takes personal pride in carefully executed work.
