Security Supersite: Black Hat: Security Conference or Burglar School?
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 07/31/2003 05:22 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
Security Supersite has posted an article on the Black Hat conference
While writing my column earlier this week I got mad at the organizers of this week's Black Hat conference in Las Vegas.. After all, why try to train people to write the worst, most invasive and difficult to defend against attack software?
Their main argument is that security professionals need to understand attacks, even the worst ones, if they are to defend against them. Even if there's clearly something to it, I'm not sure the argument completely works. I just don't like the idea of so openly spreading knowledge on such potentially destructive technologies.
