i've been thinking about this for a few days and i think something should be named after him or a foundation or charity setup in his name.
even a new mailing list named after him or some good cause to come from his life to keep his alias in circulation for future generations of security folks to learn about him. i'm very disappointed he wasn't mentioned on securityfocus but those folks are on the same downhill spiral as yahoo inc anyway, so why should we care what securityfocus are doing. its time to get brain storming on this, but i want him to stay in memory long after we're gone.. me and dude vanwinkle weren't best o friends or best o enemies but i did read his posts everyday and thought he was ok. i will leave it upto the funsec crowd and gadi evron to organise and decide if something and what should be named after him, i don't want to be part of organising, i'm just throwing the suggestion out there for the real decision makers to decide what the next step should be in remembering the dude. i have a mailing list called n3td3v so if i get killed there is something for me on the internet to keep my name in circulation, its time there was something to remember dude vanwinkle. i'll leave it upto the higher ups to decide if this is a good or bad suggestion its not upto me to decide on things like this. gadi evron is a born leader, so i give it to him to lead this and decide on what should be setup or named after him. and if nothing is setup and named after him, then i will do it myself, because i think something should. so folks, get brain storming and we can come up with the best tribute for to remember the vanwinkle by. we don't want to name a worm after him or anything like that, let's keep it lawful and whitehat lolz. i will be montioring the conversation closely and if i think something is wrong with what you are doing i will step in and make my views clear on matters. but i think gadi evron is competent enough to come up with a fitting tribute to name him after without me putting my weight in. my weight however will always be available to step in if i don't agree with whats going on. lolz. i don't like gadi evron,however, he is the biggest person after me on the mailing lists, so i elect him to do it. i am big in the security community, bigger than evron, but i want him to do it cos i decided.lolz. hackerz+security experts unite...to create something for the dude. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
