Friday Squid Blogging: Searching for Giant Squid by Collecting Environmental DNA
The idea is to collect and analyze random DNA floating around the ocean, and using that to figure out where the giant squid are. No one is sure if this will actually work.
As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered.

[posted with Bruce’s permission] My research group at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Germany) is conducting a survey to test the reliability of CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System). If you are currently assessing vulnerabilities using CVSS, we would greatly appreciate your participation which contributes to the improvement of vulnerability management. The survey takes 30 min on average (according to participation time we measured so far):

There has been a lot of critique on CVSS, and we are conducting a rigorous experimental investigation of some of these critique points. The survey will be running till the end of January.
If you are not scoring vulnerabilities using CVSS, but know people who are, we would be very grateful if you helped us and distributed this survey to them. By now we have around 160 responses, and it would be good to have 250-300 for robust statistical hypotheses testing.
Thank you!
