Black Hat 2008, Las Vegas

The Black Hat 2008 briefings in Las Vegas, Nevada, held at the Ceasar's Palace, was great as usual.
Imagine 5.000 or more IT security techies on the same 5.000 square meters for a week or more.
Hehe, well, it is our week a year. You'll see all kinds of profiles attending the briefings. The black t-shirt
with a-cool-binary-image wearing techie, to latex wearing sales and promotion babes. It is sometimes a bit surreal
but very inspirational to visit these kind of convents/conferences, but I and my coworkers really enjoy every minute of it.

The latest greatest discussed vulnerability was of course attack caching nameservers.
Very scary vulnerability indeed. More information and a link to hole article can be found here.
