Thanks for the 'crowd sourcing' term. What I am doing is trying to relate 'crowd sourcing' the today's buzzword 'Cloud'.
I found the video, realized it's not HiTB but Defcon. It's at " http://www.securitytube.net/Screen-Scraper-Tricks-(Extracting-Data-from-Difficult-Websites)-Defcon-17-video.aspx ". I briefly read Amazon's Mechanical Turk and it resembles some UX(usability testing term) 'cloud' solutions currently offered. FYI, I am in a QA role so am interested in such 'real life' computing power vs AI. If you view the video, the speaker(Amazon's Turk webpage as well) shared the very low cost of mass intelligence required. This is a threat that should not be underestimated when we think of e.g. attacks/bruteforce coming from sophisticated engines when cheap, massive skilled labour are exploiting the assets. Imagine 'crowd sourced'/'human cloud' blackhat computing power pounding on our public sites or worst, conducting mass social engineering 'attacks' to our staffs, online and/or in real person. I might be thinking too much :) On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 2:21 PM, Ang Chin Han <[email protected]>wrote: > On Fri, Apr 23, 2010 at 7:41 AM, James Tan <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I am involved in 'cloud' solutions and read interesting articles of > 'Human > > Cloud' (some terms I made up to let you imagine better).
