PS: Your Homework Assignments
Thomas Ptacek to retract all stupid commentary from world wide web.

examples: "I don't think this is a timing attack; it's a side-channel
attack that exploits the fact that OpenSSL's impact on the branch
prediction cache leaks information."
correction: timing attacks are a subset of side channel attacks,
therefore the above comment is stupid.

examples: "we were turning out more lines of code per day than my old
employer! Turns out I forgot about a little thing called QA"
correction: detailing how poorly "build security in" and solid
engineering are applied to your forthcoming security product is bad.
it makes executives and marketing angry!

many more to list.

i expect 3,463,492 words rewritten double spaced on formal retraction
by end of week.

,,,,,,,,,,,,

GOBBLES your homework is less gossip more sploits.
