[plug] PHILIPPINES ON THE WORLD MAP

[gp]

Sorry off topic but this is really Pinoy IT news.
Did know that the Philippines was mentioned in at least  2 papers 
presented at  BLACKHAT USA 2004 (Computer Security Convention)  this 
week. First it was mentioned  where Hackers should not  mess around 
with. Sensepost speaker told the audience that you don't want to mess 
around with the Russian Information Ministry, Bulgaria  or  DOST--- 
hehehehe Philippines's Department of Science and Technology. Sensepost 
presented a paper how to confuse hackers and re-direct them to countries 
but he mentioned the above countries not to be mess around with.. What 
amaze me was another  presentation on Spam and Covert channels. Here the 
speaker from  Computer Science Corp talked on analysis on spam and 
Convert channels. Naka nga- nga ang lahat noong sabihin how cutting 
edge  mag communicate ang mga Pinoy thru seemingly spam but was actually 
a convert channel of communication. It is like the speaker alluded  that 
group of Pinoy spam ring based in the Philippines, US, Canada and France 
were communicating differently. Medyo nakakahiya  sa akin but it made me 
more  proud to be Pinoy because  it made everybody in the room aware 
that  Pinoys are not behind in  IT. In my opinion medyo cutting edge 
ang  mga Pinoy. I hope the energy will be made use positively.
