why are all security courses focuses on tools?!?
I've not taken 1 course via Cybrary, Pluralsight etc related to security that has taught anything valuable. they all teach about Owasp 10 and some basic networking then just straight into tools for enumeration, sqli, blah blah. Is there any good resource out there that might teach you to manually find vulns or writing your own tools. I'm talking a full fledged beginner to security engineer course or is this just a dream?

Request: Recommended Reading for Cloud Security
Hello /r/security. My company is gaining a footprint in cloud services for the rest time since our inception. Specifically, we are looking at Azure as an offsite DR replication point. I'm sure down the line we may expand into OWA, Office, and possibly some IaaS VMs. None of this will be public-facing. This is somewhat of a new realm for me as well since I hopped over to security from system administration.With that said, I would like to request any good reading you might know of or can recommend for ensuring that our cloud presence is properly secured. Thanks in advance!

Quora and you
Do you have a Quora (quora.com) account? Quora has acknowledged and claimed as a feature a very serious authentication(-less?) issue. You may have noticed that when you receive an email digest (possibly others), you appear to auto-login to the site. This might not seem unusual, although still questionable, and it has been brought up before. It logs you into a new session.What you may not realize is that if you forward those emails to someone, say you wanted to share an interesting article, the recipient of your forwarded email WILL be able to login as YOU. Quora says the auto-login link ability expires at some point, but the countdown only begins after the link is clicked initially. As for how long this countdown is, I can't say, but the deeper issue is that every account that I can tell is vulnerable, since an auto-login feature comes with all those emails. Initially I thought that it required a google account connected and it may, but now I am not sure. I alerted Quora who acknowledged the risk of forwarded email recipients being able to login as the original recipient and concluded it was an acceptable risk. I would not have typed this up without the bug report having been marked closed by quora.Full access to the users quora account is given, which means you can unlink trusted accounts and link your own twitter, facebook, google or linkedin, effectively hi-jacking the account completely. You can impersonate, edit and modify comments and articles, or just delete the account altogether. So next time you want to forward an article to a friend, or receive a forward, keep that in mind.
