Jason Kendall's blog
Is it me? or has information security completely changed? Give you a bit of a background - I live, breathe, eat and sleep computer security. I'm not one of those"masturbating monkeys" as Linus puts it (I was gonna write this blog post, before Marcel told me about his rant about security guys). I do; Intrusion Detection, Protocol Analysis, Threat and Risk Management - I also do digital forensics etc. I get my hands dirty where ever I can. I'm not one to point out an issue, and say fix it - I prefer to get in there and work with the people in the know to fix the issue as well. I commend Dan Kaminsky for the epic work done on the DNS flaw - I only wish I had of sent that email to him the 2nd day after the biggest co-ordinated patch release in history. I had almost nailed the issue. But, that's not what this rant is about. |

Looks like this missed a few radars: Google and O'Reilly will be doing the Open Source Awards again this year at OSCON 2008. The nomination process is open to the entire open source community, closing May 15th, 2008. Send your nominations to osawards AT oreilly DOT com. Nominations should include the name of the recipient, any associated project/org, suggested title for the award ("Best Hacker", "Best Community Builder", etc.), and a description of why you are nominating the individual. Google and O'Reilly employees cannot be nominated. I'd suggest: Jason Kendall - Best Hacker :) Send your nominations TODAY! |

François! Ah, I see you are working on your personal website. Does Marcel know you're doing this on company time? I see you're keeping a list of wines Marcel has recommended over the years for him. Very nice! But you really need not manipulate all that HTML, we have extensions for that. I know Marcel is a fan of Drupal – and in my time, I've been fortunate enough to spend some very quality time with some of the people from the Drupal camp. I, however, am I Joomla! groupie, and I'd love to show you how easy it is to build your own personal website. |
