Kewl ppl and projs

Met some really kewl ppl at the RSA show the last couple of days. Saw many of my old collegues from Addamark, Cable & Wireless, and Exodus. Everyone’s walking the floor and chatting away.

Met Raffy Marty from ArcSight. He’s an SE over there. Seems like a really kewl guy. He’s started a mailing list on incidents handling and stuff. When I get more info I’ll post it here.

Met a friend of Raffy’s (sorry, forgot the name) from OVAL.Mitre.org. He’s working on this new standard on describing how to check for vulnerabilities on hosts. Currently they have many of the host-based vulnerabilities described in OVAL. Definitely worth checking out.

This year’s show seems to be much busier than the last couple of years. From what I hear, the show was sold out quite a while back, unlike a couple years ago where you can make a deal w/ RSA even a week before the show started. Hopefully that will indicated a great rooster year ahead.

    Just to clarify, I am not an SE. I am in research and development, being responsible for all the content in ArcSight’s product. Anyways, the mailinglist is idug.cryptojail.net. The idea is to get people in the Bay Area together which are interested in intrusion detection, SIM, honeypots, incident management, … Have a look!
