Gene:

That is simply not true. There are many excellent security people who hang out at Hammer of God, and many of us worked with Tim when he first developed Hackback. I remember your comments in News Bites, and remember thinking WTF as you were not even in Vegas. I even asked Tim if you had requested the white paper (which was not out then) at which point you had not. But you have no problem in saying things like Tim has not done his research when you didn?t have the slightest clue what we had been working on at the time. Typical SANS style. I know you Gene, and if half of your work is operational, then the other half is getting someone else to fix what you broke in the first place.

As for the rest of you people, why not do a bit of research yourselves. All of you saying things like hacking back after a port scan or the fanciful ?shooting people for looking at you wrong? clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Hackback works, and it is something that works now while everyone else is running around with their heads cut off.

As far as Bruce goes, well, what else do we expect from someone who gets paid to have the opinion he does? Don?t forget what business Counterpane is in.
