It’s amazing isn’t it? Just when I thought I understood the talk and what I wanted to write about I would watch it again and come out with a completely different interpretation. Thanks for the comment. Dan

I happened to walk into Richard’s presentation at Black Hat this year, on a whim. The presentation I wanted to listen to at the time was boring me, so I wandered into the room where he was giving his talk.

“Stairing Into the Abyss” absolutely moved me. Afterward, I went up to the front, shook his hand, and thanked him for his presentation. I then went upstairs to buy his books, and when I found they didn’t have them, ordered them immediatly from Amazon.

Thanks for the post.

The “big deal”, Karen, is that they say they do not use all the information they collect. Then why do the collect it? They record ever singe keystroke you push on your phone. The do this all without your consent and with no way to stop it. They also broadcast information from a supposedly secure connection (SSL). Another thing is it slows your phone down, this software gets all incoming test messages, calls, and any other incoming transmissions before they are announced to you. For example, you get a text message from a friend, before your handset registers it and lets you know you even got the text, this software captures and sends the text to a data center somewhere. My biggest problem with this is that the collected data can be gathered by someone with a nefarious purpose. If data is generated, stored, or collected, it is vulnerable to being compromised. Also keylogging and rootkit software are big no-nos in the computer world, every one of them is considered malware.

I don’t get what the big deal is about. They are only collecting information for diagnostic purposes. They say that over and over again. Besides, it will keep my child safe someday if she is missing it’s software like this that will help find her.

I never thought of it that way. I like how you thought out of the box.

It’s only going to get worse with the way technology is going. I’m taking a database class through Stanford online and we’re learning about this kind of stuff.
