Re: HITB Security Conference 2003 website rant

[harley mcdonald <harleyqmcdonald () yahoo com>]

evidently they think being "swamped" is more
acceptable than "we don't do regular backups and it
screwed us"

i wonder if i could use that one.

"i deleted everyones files off the server can you
restore that?"
"sorry, boss, a little swamped over here"

A hard disk crash, eh?  Most unfortunate.  At least
that's something I
can accept.  It doesn't help as far as getting my
hands on the material,
but it's something I can deal with.  The not knowing
is the worst part. 
HITB should realize there's a difference between
"swamped" and "up the
creek".  I hope they manage to recover their data from
the disk and/or
get the presenters to re-submit their material.  They
still should have
said something to the effect of "Due to technical
difficulties..."

Thanks for the update and the link.  From what I
understand the LSD group
will soon be posting some material about the 'doze RPC
vulns on their
website.
