Reports from the Linux Security Summit
The Linux
Security Summit was held August 20-21 in Seattle, Washington.
Unfortunately, that overlapped Linux Plumbers Conference, so LWN was unable
to attend. But both James
Morris and Paul
Moore have nice writeups of the summit. From Morris's: "
As with the previous year, we followed a two-day format, with most of the refereed presentations on the first day, with more of a developer focus on the second day. We had good attendance, and also this year had participants from a wider field than the more typical kernel security developer group. We hope to continue expanding the scope of participation next year, as it’s a good opportunity for people from different areas of security, and FOSS, to get together and learn from each other. This was the first year, for example, that we had a presentation on Incident Response, thanks to Sean Gillespie who presented on GRR, a live remote forensics tool initially developed at Google."
