While many were skeptical that the n3td3v agenda has any influence whatsoever after numeros failures and embarrassments, there were still a handful that were hoping that theycouldmeet with success. Unfortunately this did not occur and we witnessed oneofthe word failures in modern web application security history. A fullarticleon this event has been cataloged at the following site - http://websec2008.blogspot.com/ Brief excerpt ~~~ Saturday May 3, 2008 media and security researchers have come to the conclusion that "Web Application Security Awareness Day" was a completeandutter failure. This stunning revelation comes just two days after theeventcame to a close, without a single submission or person recognizing the event. "We just kept waiting and hoping a single submission would come in. Wewerethinking that maybe the researchers had their clocks set wrong or theywereworking hard on a release that just couldn't cut the deadline", said awellknown industry expert who wishes to remain anonymous. ~~~ Please visit our web site and we will keep you informed of anydevelopments.-Howard Jurgenmeit Internet + Web Application Security Blog Staff Writer http://websec2008.blogspot.com/ websec2008 () gmail comI'm sure they'll be other theme days though that others will start, like a Buffer Overflow Security Awareness Day that others can organise. I'm just leading the way of a new trend, my day wasn't successful, but if HD Moore or others announce some other theme day, i'm sure it will be a success.
Andrew Wallace, it's only a failure because you're the one promoting it. -- lounger
