Ärende: Interview with Dan Kaminsky on Microsoft's security

Could you introduce yourself?

Sure. My name is Dan Kaminsky, and I am a security researcher focusing on
applied mechanisms for analyzing and understanding very large scale networks. I
have been working and speaking professionally in this field for a little more
than six years, first at Cisco where I focused on the mechanisms required to
secure network monitoring systems, and later at Avaya where I consulted for
their Enterprise Security Practice. I recently departed Avaya, and am exploring
new opportunities. I've contributed to several books, including "Stealing the
Network: How To Own The Box" and "Aggressive Network Self Defense", but I'm
most well known for my talks at the Black Hat Briefings and Defcon. Themed
"Black Ops," they tend to twist standard protocols such as SSH, DNS, and TCP in
new and unexpectedly useful directions. Tools discussed have included Scanrand,
a surprisingly simple piece of code that nonetheless increased network scanning
speeds by an order of magnitude, and the OzymanDNS suite, which most recently
has been expanded to streaming video over the Domain Name System.

I'd like to think I contributed a bit towards people seriously doubting MD5,
but Xiaoyun Wang's team out of China had way more to do with that than I did.

You were guest at the Microsoft Blue Hat event. Did you find anything
surprising or unexpected?
