[nycbug-talk] Defcon News Blurbs

[Isaac Levy]

Hi All,

In the Vegas airport after Defcon 16 with *lots* of time to kill, and  
thought I'd toss some fun tidbits to the list:

OpenBSD and PF in the opening paragraph:

FreeBSD jail(8) used again for this year's CTF competition servers,  
nobody breaks out yet (more on this to come from me in the future...)

An interesting talk:
Toasterkit, a Modular NetBSD Rootkit
Anthony Martinez Systems Administrator, New Mexico Tech
Thomas	Bowen Systems Administrator, New Mexico Tech

Also- ran into a fistfull of folks from the NYCResistor group,  
hardware hackers who have a space in Downtown Brooklyn:
