Offtopic - your name is confusing. I assumed you were Steve Gibson's spin-off into security, which is a poor association to have as he is widely considered an amateur in security matters. Very vocal and assertive, but an amateur nonetheless.

I'm quite the fan of Steve Gibson, infact I use grsec on my boxes, sadly we only noticed this after our initial release, when it really was too late.

If Steve Gibson hears of this, or reads this, my apologies, this was not intended.

(also this was a reference to the movie Hackers, which in turn a reference to William Gibson)


Steve Gibson and Gibson Research Corporation are not affiliated with the grsec guys. This is quite confusing.


He isn't?

Sorry that really is a mistake on my part. I thought I saw his name attached to it. I'm probably thinking of someone else, again I apologize to all parties involved.
