Billy: got the visa [for my trip to Vietnam]. heading 2 a starbucks so i can work. Kevin: Great. sounds like it was painless Billy: well... they didn't imprison me in a bamboo cage or anything if that's what u mean...
Once upon a time, someone datamined all of TinyURL. And someone saw many wondrous things, like XSS payloads, Email spam, IRC conversations, traffic, and FTP urls with inline basic auth credentials. And so around that same time, for reasons completely and totally unrelated to the datamining, that someone acquired a fairly large collection of Trance and House music.
And then, (after almost losing chunks of the data...) many years later, that someone was up very late at night, minding his own business when a blood curdling voice disrupted his peaceful Zen-like state ...
fa-fa-fa-Follow me to the pa-pa-pa-Planet of la-la-la-LIQUID SKIES!

PS. His name is Gary McGraw from Cigital
No way. Gary McGraw shits more 1337ness in a week than I've done in 12+ years of hacking.
Its early (Actually very very late). Still trying to understand the implication of this. Lots of people in the web security space and beyond have been saying it for years: The browser is the new OS and JavaScript is the new shell code.
Only it was never designed to be an OS.
The long awaited Google OS is an open source web browser. I'm going to sleep.
(PS. Did I miss read page 10 through blurry sleep dep eyes? Did google really couple an input fuzzer to a web crawler for public sites?)
As I've mentioned, there is a business intelligence guy at work who is basically a glorified RSS feed reader. However every now and then there is a nice "under non-disclosure" piece that comes through that makes me glad I re-thought killfiling him.
