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.
It feels like 'they' are talking about HTLM code,
When the bad guys are on 'The Cloud'.
