White at heart

Post interview remarks to Dan after his talk:

"

Black Hat founder and organizer Jeff Moss asked Kaminsky in a press
conference following  his presentation how much he thought he could have
gotten for the vulnerability on the black market, if he'd decided to sell it
to hackers or criminal syndicates instead of warning the world.

Kaminsky declined to guess a figure.

"The value of this class of bugs is high enough that it justifies very
extensive research," he said. "If there is such value by investing in the
attacks, we have to invest more. "

Black Hat yet white at heart. Thank God he is.
