-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So yesterday at the CANVAS user's group meeting people were starting to talk about the massive hurricane headed in our direction. Mostly in Miami people ignore hurricanes. So when they do start to talk about evacuating that means things are probably going to be bad. Last time "bad" was no power for several weeks, which meant no sewage for tall buildings and no gas for cars (those pumps are electric). Driving in Miami is dangerous at the best of times, but when the traffic lights are all stuck blinking yellow it becomes suicidal. Other than hurricanes, we did get a chance to talk rootkits at the CANVAS user's meeting. I don't necessarily see Immunity's role as "build the world's most cutting edge rootkit". But having a rootkit that penetration testers can use with a double-click is just as cool as having an exploit that breaks into the host with a double-click. Kostya also made me take the NOP Certification, which I'm happy to say I did, in fact, pass, much to Kostya's evidenced surprise. :> In honor of such excitement, there's a "special" here on the news page: http://www.immunityinc.com/news-latest.shtml - -dave P.S. If you're going to post about the rootkit on ZDnet/etc, please note it was Daniel Palacio and Bas Alberts who worked on that project, and not me. Realistically though, I hope lots of people download it and extend it. There's no I in hacking! :> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIwW/PtehAhL0gheoRAlK7AJ0eEEEr712ML3OBUiNq3KShQ6ZH5gCggK3k R+NOr/iFlaWix3edHC9Vi+g= =SiVu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
