Code Red was a bundle of laughs

The following is an analysis of a worst case virulence for a computer worm, using existing mechanisms and a modified infection strategy. Such a "Warhol Worm" could infect every vulnerable machine in a 15 minute time period, outpacing human defense.

I'm not totally convinced by his timing analysis - I look forward to seeing the simulator results...

BiCon flats of six

The BiCon accommodation is organised in flats of six people. This year I want to be in a flat with [livejournal.com profile] purplerabbits and [livejournal.com profile] coracaskia. I've mailed Giolla and asked him to put our flat next to [livejournal.com profile] ergotia, Lily and [livejournal.com profile] countess_sophia's flat.

So we've got three spare spaces. Anyone not know where they're staying and want to share? [livejournal.com profile] adjectivemarcus, [livejournal.com profile] katyha and [livejournal.com profile] dr_d makes three, are you guys already sorted? Any other takers?

hoping to stay with some of you nice people,

Created an LJ for Bicon 2002

I've created an LJ community for posting Bicon 2002 updates: [livejournal.com profile] bicon2002. Neat, huh?
