its been a long week so far...

This week has seen some serious troubles manifested in the financial markets. Additionally it has been one of the most surreal times in my recent neurochemical life.

I have had no electric for the past 96 hours. My wife and kids went to stay with my mother-in-law. Candles, flashlights, radios and ipods were about all I had. In fact I was just getting used to listening to audio archives from blackhat 2008.

The best talk so far was Billy Hoffman. A self described southern, fast talker, and excessive red bull drinker. This is at least 6 months worth of appsec research for me.
The best part was the description of last years talk eluding to a "dehydrate" function. Where javascript is represented as white space. He described it in the book he co-authored "ajax security".
