It would seem this Workshop would be representing 

the State of Art in Offensive Technologies.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

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'.
