Seattle Cypherpunks

Seattle-area Cypherpunks Get Together Thursday, September 28 7:30 PM Seattle Center House/Food Circus Entrance opposite the Flag Pavillion look for a table with a Compaq laptop busily signing keys This is a very informal, unstructured get together. More of a chance to meet other folks with similar interests. With all of the recent activities in crypto-land, I'm sure there will be lots to talk about. Bring a disk with your key so I can put my ancient 386 laptop to some good use. I'll also load up some relatively new Windows crypto software for show and tell. Eastsiders (Bellevue/Redmond environs) that don't feel like braving the bridge, let me know. I've got a van and will be headed west from Carnation and would be happy to car-pool. Hope to see you there... Joel McNamara joelm(a)eskimo.com - http://www.eskimo.com/~joelm for PGP key Thomas Jefferson used strong crypto, shouldn't you?

Hmm, after having looked at the syslogd code, it looks like this particular bug has been fixed for at least several years. However, there sure are a hell of a lot of fixed size buffers being alocated off the stack and some of them are being used in unsafe ways. -- Sure we spend a lot of money, but that doesn't mean | Tom Weinstein we *do* anything. -- Washington DC motto | tomw(a)engr.sgi.com

"Going after Netscape"

I think we need to be very careful not to do things like we have a vendetta against Netscape. Netscape has a Cypherpunks presence, of course, and His Andreeseeness was even on the list for a while last December. Today's "San Jose Mercury News" had a photo of Goldberg and Wagner and a fairly long article about how James Barksdale, Pres. of Netscape, plans to hire them to help improve Netscape's security. He even made noises about thanking them for their cracking efforts, and said improving Netscape's security is a high priority. It's sort of hard for me to imagine a company being more "Cypherpunks friendly" than this. (I mean about the issues that interest us.) So, keep on "attacking" Netscape (kudos to Ray, by the way, though I've seen Netscape bomb on certain sites, as with the Cypherpunks archive site, as several of us noted a few months ago...probably a different problem, but indicative that Netscape can be corrupted). But let's be careful not to convey any flavor of this being a vendetta. --Tim May Notice: Don't expect me to reply to trivial questions and complaints. ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.
