Panel: Internet Wars 2006

Presented at DEF CON 14 (2006), Aug. 4, 2006, noon (110 minutes)

In this panel session we will begin with a short introductory presentation from Gadi Evron on the latest technologies and operations by the Bad Guys and the Good Guys. What's going on with Internet operations, global routing, botnets, extortion, phishing and the annual revenue the mafia is getting from it. The panel session itself will be hosted by mudge. The members will accept questions on any subject related to the topic at hand, and discuss it openly in regard to what's being done and what we can expect in the future—both from the Bad Guys and the Good Guys.

Later on he cut off the oxygen supply to his brain by wearing a necktie for AboveNet, MFN, and PAIX. At the moment he is President at ISC where his primary duty is to sign paychecks for the people who bring you BIND9 and F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
