[Full-disclosure] Off Topic: Information Security research paper help
I'm not the original author of this message, saw it pop-up on Snort-Sigs and as a graduate student myself I figured I'd give this guy a hand to get more visibility. I'm not so sure it's a troll. YMMV. -John Message below, unaltered: Hello Snort and Emerging Threats communities, this is off-topic so I apologize in advance. I am in the midst of a graduate thesis paper hinged around the Information Security environment and the use of Apple products. My undergraduate degree was in Computer Science where I minored in Information Security (I am one of you, at least to a small degree). My graduate degree is in Psychology with a focus on how technology, particularly the security aspect of technology, affects what we do, say, and think. As such, I'm reaching out to the Information Security community for some help in this paper. Simply put I am trying to gather evidence to support two observations as well as a behavioral idiosyncrasy between a niche facet of the Information Technology field and subsequent behavioral attributes. If you would, please take the time to respond to these two questions which are not mutually dependent on each-other. 1) Do you use Apple products for your Information Security duties, either exclusively, or occasionally? 2) Have you, at any point in your professional career (professional, being the key word, please do not respond with the context being prior to obtaining an Information Security job) entertained thoughts of homosexual behavior? Feel free to respond to the list or to me directly. Thanks very much in advance to all who respond and again, I'm sorry for this off topic post but a good sampling from the Information Security industry is necessary for my results to be valid.
