I hope that won't mean that these bugs will stop being released to places
like BugTraq etc. Information Security personal like myself still like to
look at these bugs and on occasion use them.
Cheers,

Hi everybody.

You may have heard some about the No More Free Bugs campaign (
http://blog.trailofbits.com/2009/03/22/no-more-free-bugs/
)  Basically, it is the chance for researchers to unite to get paid
for the hard work we do.  As long as folks continue to give bugs to
companies for free, the companies will never appreciate (or reward)
the effort.  So I encourage you all to stop the insanity and stop
giving away your hard work.  If you believe in the No More Free Bugs
campaign, please include our logo (http://nomorefreebugs.org/logo.jpg)
on all of your presentations at security conferences.  I think it
would be really great if vendors sat through an entire conference and
every talk had this logo on it.  I'll definitely have it on my
BlackHat Europe slide deck next week.

Also, I'd like to announce the CFP for the 3rd USENIX Workshop on
Offensive Technologies (WOOT '09).  Check it out at
http://www.usenix.org/event/woot09/cfp/
.  This is the only conference around that brings industry and
academic security folks together.  Its a chance for industry
researchers to show off their work to the academic community and vice
versa - I'm being very kind here to academia ;)  Planning on
submitting something cool to BH USA?  Submit it here too and present
it again a week later.  It would be great if WOOT became a showcase of
the best research of the previous year.

By the way, I've decided instead of getting a blog or twitter account,
I'll just send emails on daily dave!

Take care,

Charlie
