Last week when I was testing the latest version of RootkitRevealer (RKR) I ran a scan on one of my systems and was shocked to see evidence of a rootkit. Qiute by RootKit.com

Imagine you buy a Sony or BMG Audio CD. You agree with the EULA, then your system got hack by Sony.

About the DRM software from Sony that used rootkit technologies. The company behind the technology, First 4 Internet, has now released an update for the software. After visiting the web site, downloading and installing the update, it now seems that the DRM software no longer attempts to hide anything on the computer. The rootkit driver (aries.sys) is removed from the system during the update.

I dont think i will buy any Sony & BMG CDs or even PSP!!

Every year in late October and early November, he explains, Earth passes through a river of space dust associated with Comet Encke. Tiny grains hit our atmosphere at 65,000 mph. At that speed, even a tiny smidgen of dust makes a vivid streak of light--a meteor--when it disintegrates. Because these meteors shoot out of the constellation Taurus, they're called Taurids.

Summary: This spring's IIW was full of interesting people and interesting discussions with people from around the globe.

We recently completed the 38th edition of the Internet Identity Workshop. We had 330 people from around the world who called 169 sessions. As usual there was lots of energy and thousands of side conversations. IIW is a place to get things done and it showed in the energy and the comments people made to me about how much they enjoyed it.

As you can see by the pins in the map at the top of this post, there were attendees from all over the world. Not surprisingly, most of the attendees were from the US (241), followed by Canada (11). Germany, India, and Switzerland rounded out the top five with 9, 8, and 7 attendees respectively. Attendees from India (5), Thailand (3), and Korea (3) showed IIW's diversity with attendees from APAC. And there were 4 attendees from South America this time. Sadly, there were no attendees from Africa again. Please remember we offer scholarships for people from underrepresented areas, so if you'd like to come to IIW39, please let us know. If you're working on identity, we want you there.

For states and provinces, California was first with 122. Washington (16), Utah (10), Texas (10) and New York (10) rounded out the top five. San Francisco (14) Oakland (13), San Jose (12), Seattle (11), and New York (9) were the top cities.

In addition to sessions, we have a demo hour on Wednesday that is a little like speed dating. There were 20 different projects highlighted. There's always more than one session that I want to attend in any given time slot and choosing is hard. That's a common refrain. Luckily we have sessions notes that we publish in a Book of Proceedings.

Here's pictures from all three days courtesy of Doc Searls

You belong at IIW! IIW is where you will meet people to help you solve problems and move your ideas forward. Please come! IIW 39 will be held October 29-31, 2024 at the Computer History Museum. We'll have tickets available soon.

Summary: We held the 39th edition of Internet Identity Workshop last week. Like always, it was a great week.

The 39th edition of the Internet Identity Workshop wrapped up last week. We have 364 attendees from around the world who called 178 sessions. I can't begin to describe the energy of the identity community when they all get together to discuss their favorite topics. If you like identity, or simply want to be part of an enthusiastic technical community, you should come to IIW.

As you can see by the pins in the map at the top of this post, there were attendees from all over the world. Not surprisingly, most of the attendees were from the US (251), followed by Canada (18) and France (14). Germany, Japan, and Australia rounded out the top six with 12, 9, and 7 attendees respectively. Attendees from India (5), Columbia (3), and Chile (2) show IIW's geographic diversity. Sadly, there were no attendees from Africa again. Please remember we offer scholarships for people from underrepresented areas, so if you'd like to come to IIW40, please let us know. If you're working on identity, we want you there.

For states and provinces, California was first with 131 attendees. Washington (19), Utah (14), New York (9), and Massachusetts (9) made up the rest of the top 5. San Jose (20), San Francisco (16), Paris (12), Oakland (11), and Seattle (9) were the top five cities.

We'll have the book of proceedings out in a month or so with notes from the different sessions and descriptions of the 20 demos given during demo hour. Past proceedings are available here.

The next IIW takes place April 8-10, 2025 at the Computer History Museum. This will be IIW XL, number 40! We'll have registration open the first part of December. If you're interested in sponsoring, send me a note.

Not much has changed on the internet since this episode appeared five years ago: endless pics of naughty bits, cyber minefields, perpetual gossip, and . . . Christ. It's "the End" versus "the sun will come out tomorrow." So, whose side are you on?
