- Up; poked mail & slides. Out to Dave Jones' talk on the trinity fuzz tester: he had a great demo fuzzing user-space using the 'execve' syscall passed tons of random junk instead of parameters - it was good to see 'cp' crash but libreoffice start fine; interesting tool.
- My ongoing general disapointment with Anti-Virus software in general got another data-point: ClamAV claiming that wordml2ooo_draw.xsl contains credit card numbers. The normal handling of this sort of thing is to white-list some specific 'credit card' numbers - leaving a barrel of fun for the next person who will tweak the co-ordinates.
-
Enjoyed Sarah Sharp's USB talk - what a bus-load of device-specific
failure; most internal mouse/keyboard are I2C to avoid the USB power-drain.
Quick sandwich for lunch; gave my LibreOffice talk.

- Met Phil Robb after a nice UEFI talk, caught up with Dirk, fixed a few more impress remote bugs; back to the hotel for some mail chew; pizza, call with J. Read Markus' thought provoking blog on copy-left licensing. Bed.
