I was at WOOT and it is supposed to bring academia and commercial (i.e. "hackers") together to share ideas. The funny thing was the whole time I thought that the commercial folks were showing the out of touch academic folks what real, hard core security research was about while the academic people probably thought they were enlightening us! Charlie BTW, as a plug, the paper I was a co-author on is under the "daniel" directory :) On Aug 1, 2008, at 10:25 AM, Dave Aitel wrote:

I don't think it's w00t's fault, either. I think the research communities are diverging into public and private, as this research gets more expensive to do. USENIX may not be the place for academic treatment of offensive security research. A friend of mine wonders if there's any future for academic treatment of the subject at all. He wonder's wistfully of course, since he likes academia. Anyways, either be scary or be silly. There's no middle ground here. It's a fundamental truth in this field: You're either in, or you're out. - -dave -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIkysFtehAhL0gheoRAnyWAJ9TKJVNITG4RHQe/gFkA5oF4ar/SwCeMEdj J0NkyoTLEpaNjC8LU8C70nM= =hdCB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
