CRM114 - Mutable Regex & Bayesian Spam Filter
Topic: Open Source Development 2:00 pm EST, Jan 21, 2003

Well, this looks like it may be "the" answer to SPAM. I'm not sure, but it's definitely interesting. The author makes some mention of training it to look at syslog and firewall output which I find very interesting.

I'm wondering whether I might be able to turn Snort into an adhoc anomaly detector using this. The main intention being some kind of pro-active tool for identifying either attacks or items that need to be tuned out as false-positives. Perhaps my tool could make "recommendations" on how to handle traffic to an operator or information analyst.

Viridian Note 00325: Open Source Speech
Topic: Open Source Development 4:52 pm EDT, Aug  6, 2002

Excellent Bruce Sterling speech at OSCON on OpenSource software.

Some choice snippets:


I had a long argument about this with Cory Doctorow. He and I were really going at this hammer-and-tongs, over the growing spam and virus crisis. And I thought that there needed to be some kind of political and legal solution. Like building a galvanized steel cage in Cuba and throwing all the spammers and virus writers in there as unlawful combatants who are clear and present deadly enemies of humanity.

...

As opposed to the sparkling lucidities of the free software developers! Free software, basically congealed by people who have some vague idea what they are doing, and are loathe to spend any time writing down specs, when they could be writing new features.

...

The computer business wants to be really hot and sexy. It's like eavesdropping on a rich kid's affair with a supermodel. He's the user, he's the customer. He's eager, he's gullible. But she'd better be taut, hot, and totally glittering, or he'll pitch her right off the edge of the loading dock.

...

In times of adversity, you learn who your friends are. You guys need a lot of friends. You need friends in all walks of life. Pretty soon, you are going to graduate from the status of techie geeks to official dissidents. This is your fate. People are wasting time on dissident relics like Noam Chomsky. Professor Chomsky is a pretty good dissident: he's persistent, he means what he says, and he's certainly very courageous, but this is the 21st century, and Stallman is a bigger deal. Lawrence Lessig is a bigger deal.

Y'know, Lawrence, he likes to talk as if all is lost. He thinks we ought to rise up against Disney like the Serbians attacking Milosevic. He expects the population to take to the streets. Fuck the streets. Take to the routers. Take to the warchalk.

You know you want to. Take over the development of some open source software. It's orphaned. It needs a home. Won't you take it home and love it?

Useful /. read on using higher order langs for development. The author makes a lot of sense. The fact is that even inside the enterprise I've rarely seen network daemons that needed the extra speed that development in C provides.
