I'm seeing this post with fascination. Are we really this starved for contrived humor or personal potshots that lead nowhere ? Very very few things in this world are original and elegant. Most of the elegant things in security or for that matter any kind of software is the math behind it. Otherwise most of it is grep through a datastream. Innovation is possible with both techniques.. I remember Frans Veldman who did an astounding job with TBAV [1] .. if you break what he did down , it could be considered a more sophisticated grep .. but in function, he achieved a brilliant generic detector ( and in a limited scope , cleaner ) for that time and age. I was propably 13 back then and did not get over the sheer elegance of his "grep" for a while. He pulled it off just when it seemed like the curve for innovation was tapering for the AVers. Most people knew all that he did but did'nt see what he saw. While I don't know anything about the company that is the target of this post, it may be wiser to reserve comments till their release. They seem to have a fairly educated team. [1] - http://utopia.knoware.nl/users/veldman/frans/dutch/tbav.htm#history P.S. Vanity.. vanity .. all is vanity ;-). _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
