SecurityDude’s Greatest Hits – Year 1

By securitydude

SecurityDude, CISSP-ISSAP is an IT consultant, Security & Privacy Advocate and blogger at large with over 20 years IT experience. SecurityDude shares tips, tricks, and info that the average networking professional will find interesting and indispensable.

It’s hard to believe, but it has been more than a year since my friends at Network Instruments invited me to contribute to their blog.  This is the first blog I have worked on and I was unsure if anyone would actually read my posts.  Fifty-odd articles and 28,112 readers later (but who’s counting), it seems a few of you are interested.  I had originally been tasked with writing articles dealing strictly with information security, but my posts have ranged from politics to consumer electronics and many subjects in between.

I would like to take this opportunity to provide readers with a handy clickable index to all of my past articles.  All articles are in the order I wrote them, from earliest to latest.  I hope you find these and future postings useful.

    Any anonymous way to get a secret phone in canada?

    Hi Brad,

    I am afraid I am not familiar with Canadian pre-paid offerings. Here are links to some of the providers.

    Bell Mobility Solo:

    Fido Prepaid Service:
    http://www.fido.ca

    Rogers Pay-as-you-go:

    Telus Mobility Pay & Talk:
    http://www.telusmobility.com

    To maintain anonymity, you need to be able to walk into a store like Target or WalMart and pay cash for the phone and pre-paid vouchers to recharge minutes using your phone. I checked walmart.ca and I didn’t see an option for buying a pre-paid phone.

    If you live (really) close to the US border, you could purchase a pre-paid phone here and activate it from a payphone. You would just need to buy minutes occasionally to keep the phone active.

    Cheers,

    SecurityDude
