    It would seem this Workshop would be representing 

    the State of Art in Offensive Technologies.

    I also read the New York Times article on

    "U.S. Steps Up Effort on Digital Defenses"

    http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/28/us/28cyber.html


    Both are several years behind the curve.

    The info in both articles suggests a lack of

    comprehension of the current state of the Art

    according to our paradigm intel.


    The WOOT workshop is clearly from a defenders

    point of view, the NYT article is no where near

    state of the Art.


    There seems to be a PARADIGM lacking for 

    even discussing offensive technologies.

    The context is much more urgent than 

    either article suggests.


    But the WOOT conference is a good start.

    The Paradigm continues to builld towards a 

    big ass whoopin.

    Blind Deaf and Dumb....



    It feels like 'they' are talking about HTLM code,

    When the bad guys are on 'The Cloud'.
