[backstage] Sony Phone Home?
This via Rocketboom.com http://www.doxpara.com/ http://www.doxpara.com/planetsony2_europe.jpg Welcome To Planet Sony Submitted by Dan Kaminsky on Tue, 2005-11-15 09:28. Sony. Sony has a rootkit. The rootkit phones home. Phoning home requires a DNS query. DNS queries are cached. Caches are externally testable (great paper, Luis!), provided you have a list of all the name servers out there. It just so happens I have such a list, from the audits I've been running from http://deluvian.doxpara.com Gordo -- "Think Feynman"/ http://pobox.com/~gordo/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]/// - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.

RE: [backstage] Patronising
I have to agree. It's a lot of work and tons of running around. But its honestly worth it in the end! I'm currently helping out by hosting a few events in London at geekdinner.co.uk (sorry had to get the link in). I'm sure with a few tries you will start to get about 20+ people going along every month. I know for a fact that there is a Russian programmer who has just moved to Leeds and would love to meet other developers in the area. Reminds me I need to get him on this list. His previous work includes reader2.com, myprogs.net and the new myfilmz.net. Remixing BBC content is/would be right up his street.
