The difference between a monkey and a gorilla

[Dave Aitel <dave () immunitysec com>]

As Jared Diamond (http://www.pbs.org/previews/gunsgermssteel/) says, 
humans are basically just a strange sub-species of chimpanzee. Likewise 
I wonder if security researchers are tamed and channeled hackers, or if 
hackers are the bizzare sub-species that consumes more resources than 
you'd expect, and create more art than you'd imagine. In a bit of 
meta-irony, Weld Pond is the one who introduced me to Jared Diamond.

In any case, I'll be at What The Hack (instead of Vegas) or XCON 
(http://xcon.xfocus.org/speakers.html) if you want to chat, be you 
monkey or gorilla. If you want a CANVAS demo I can do that too. :> My 
XCON talk is on some of the weirder work I've been doing lately. After 
Halvar's post of the government sponsored corrolation effort to find 
exploitation and DDOS frameworks (http://cryptome.org/traceback.htm), 
I've been thinking of ways to avoid such corrolation efforts. Is anyone 
else working on that sort of thing?
