And I'll be a 'broken record'...

Specifics, specifics and... oh yeah... specifics. Objects, broken out so
they ate with the flow or in support of objectives.

Something that doesn't dominate the purpose of the "Hello World" nature of
a 000 level, short-duration, essentials exam.

BTW, I had this exact same conversation with my security department
recently...

'Availability'

Security rejoicing in unavailable systems is like Eastern Airlines' union
rejoicing in what it called 'winning.'

At some point, one covers basic security, such as limiting access by IP, so
it's not an unintentional honeypot turned useful bot.

But to let security dominate the environment just destroys an exam... just
like 10 agents consuming 95% of I/O and 75% of memory, causing both system
crashes, along with 50% manpower dealing with false positives, defeats the
purpose of the system.

And these are SELinux enforcing systems too, hence why I take issues with
+10 proprietary agents.

P.S. I take security very seriously, being DoD IAT 8570 Level 3 on Linux,
Solaris and Windows, let alone endless financial services benchmarks. But I
also don't turn on the firehose when someone walks into the office wanting
to learn 'Essentials' either.
