Having a nice time, wish you were here.
Having a GRAND old time at the Lone Star Information Security Forum. There is more clue per square inch here than just about any other place I’ve been. It’s like ... I don’t know, it’s like a whole conference full of grown-up, well-dressed, well-spoken security geeks. It’s like Pacific Tech’s Smart People on Ice.
Ranum alone is worth the price of admission for quote mining:
“My iPod could handle THAT.“ (referring to processing 60-70 log events per second)
“By 2020 we’ll have the INFOCALYPSE, where every man, woman and child over the age of 6 will be a Windows system administrator.“ (Describing his dark vision of the future of security.)
“Mainlining Gartner reports”
Oh, and the food is good, too. It sure beats the standard cold cuts and potato salad fare I get at other conferences.
I have real hope that at least some of the answers I’m seeking will be found here, among people who are actually doing the work and solving this stuff.
