Google Glass coming out has had some interesting implications to the world of security and forensics. I thought the QR code vulnerability was certainly unique and akin to the drive-by RFID vulnerabilities that exist. I'm sure we haven't seen the last of such issues. Google, of course, says this was all part of their plan to really shake out the bugs and round the rough edges that they didn't foresee. Is that claim more marketing than truth? Meh, probably a little of each. It's a nice idea, but I hardly think that even one thousand hacking oriented techies could even scratch the surface of possibilities for what this technology could potentially deliver, good and bad. Some interesting use cases have already come about, but I think the best are still to come.

Through the looking glass...blessing or burden?
