You can't be serious? Here's them asking for regulation of digital arms: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/03/zero-day-exploit-sales...
John's blog post sure has a hell of a lot of conjecture and opinions in it for someone so hellbent on discrediting closed source forensic tools for doing the same. John would have a lot more credibility if he would shut…
Why did anyone need this challenge in the first place? Couldn't someone have justed ASKED a good exploit developer what they would do and what the impact is? No, I guess we're all up for wasting people's time and…
What in this article associates USAID with the intel community? The fact that they both use technology?
Ask any random person what they think of when you say "hacker." PROTIP: it's not your typical employee of some random consumer web startup, working 12 hour days and pounding redbull. It's someone who bypasses technical…

"Physicists and computer scientists have long speculated about whether the NSA’s efforts are more advanced than those of the best civilian labs. Although the full extent of the agency’s research remains unknown, ___the…
That's a pretty amazing hyperbole from kaepora (twitter description of incident vs actual e-mail response from Apple). And later, Apple accepted the fix: https://github.com/cryptocat/cryptocat/issues/542#issuecomme...…
Tough talk from someone who can't even be bothered to use PGP. There are lots of people doing real good out there, like Moxie Marlinspike with BitHub, the kickstarter audit of TrueCrypt, and work in the CAB forum and…
