heh, ok, I will leave it at that and see if anyone else feels differently

Maybe they are. If I carry my phone in my pocket and sleep beside it, but then leave it in a different room / semi-public place for a short while, actually that is the only physical attack you need to worry about

the two example I give in the question show that it is not absurd - these are real use cases that it is worth considering how to protect against

hm, maybe I've not expressed myself then. It's also to do with capabilities of attacker - I'm not worried about people who have invested a lot of preparation in targetting me in particular, it's opportunistic attacks

hi, hoping to get my question reopened as I don't think it's a dupe (and I've fixed the answer-with-questions issue). Need one more vote. Can anyone help out / suggest anything remaining that needs to be improved?

@RoryAlsop thanks rory, reworked it so the answery stuff is now background material in the question

("In particular I consider this to exclude any attacks that involve opening the case.")

@tylerl in the general case, yes, but I'm not talking the general case

Hi, just asked this q, got marked as duplicate, I don't think it is and have updated Q to explain why. security.stackexchange.com/questions/44579/…

Is there a Sec.SE CTF team @ 44con?

inspired by this epic rant me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design

HipHop for PHP: for when you find you've accidentally used PHP for a mission critical, high volume website

if you think it would be more constructive, I'd be happy to make it just a splunk question - i.e. how to use splunk to achieve that goal. that would remove the product recommendation part.

@LucasKauffman, re: home network monitoring q, I did wonder as I was writing it, but having looked at the other SIEM product questions that were not closed and had moderate numbers of votes I thought it would be useful

@Tidalwave @Iszi, thanks.

@Iszi, agreed, I was really just thinking about how easy it is to read that question from scratch. I thought it would work better with your privacy question up front, then perhaps a smaller reference to the security question at the end. No matter how it's phrased, it's still an important question, I'm glad we've got it :)

Morning. @Iszi, what do you think about rewording your "why privacy if nothing to hide" question to be more standalone? I feel it could become an excellent question + set of answers, but as it's currently phrased it mostly talks about another question (which IMO isn't very interesting and has a trivial answer). I can see why it's like that, but now it seems less important. security.stackexchange.com/questions/7666/…

Any recommendations on what to do with this (crypto.se) question, if anything? crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/8957/…
