In addition to his previously mentioned 2600 Magazine publication, Matt has been published in the (arguably more prestigious) Dr. Dobb’s Journal. You can find his article, detailing a multi-threaded PRNG implementation, here.

Congrats!

For that that haven’t caught it yet, Enferex (Matt) has an article published in the current (Spring) edition of “2600 – The Hacker Quarterly.” The title of the article is “MP3 Data Stream as a Covert Means of Distributing Information.” Page 16. 2600 can be found at any Barnes & Nobles.

Erik and myself headed down to CarolinaCon in Durham a few weeks ago. Have to say, it was fun! It’s a very small con, perhaps 100 people. There were some great presentations ranging in subjects from the McColo story (a co-location facility that housed a large number of servers used by people committing fraud and spamming).  The story included how people got them de-peered so they were disconnected from the internet and why it’s gone. TXS spoke on reverse engineering subjects, and some other talks that slip my mind at the moment. Sorry for the late update, but I had to say it was fun! Had hoped to make NotACon this year, but once  again missed it. Perhaps more locals will make Carolina Con next year?

Wow, probably one of the shortest 2600 meetings ever. That was not a bad thing per-se, as many of us had plans that occurred around the same time. What this does suggest is the dedication of people coming out. Even though some had plans, people still tucked away the meeting in their agenda. This month, the attendance was, in clock-wise order from where I sat: tele, cdated derez, x17root, Justin, Dave, remad, and myself.

Sunpuke did not make it out, as he was scoring some most-leet seats at the Jewish Mother, for a concert, to which a few of us attended. “Most-leet seats you say Bill?” … “That’s right Ted!” … “wiggly wiggly weeewwww!” (Bill and Ted reference), and their most non-bodacious dudical vernacular. Till next month?, keep it out of the middle endian.
