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:

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! :>
