Dan Kaminsky: the Demigod, and a nice guy
Dan Kaminsky went from regular IT Security guru to IT Security demi-god this year. There’s something about internet celebrity. Lots of people get a big head and turn into jerks during their 15 minutes. But not Dan. He really is a nice guy. I have to say that I think Dan Kaminsky deserves all the kudos & press he’s gotten this year. Here’s just a few:
- Most recent Wired Article
- Boing Boing – Cory’s probably just trying to write an interesting blog, but it got a little snarky if you ask me.
- Wired
- Dan’s so famous that some jokesters made a Fake Dan Kaminsky board at DefCon
But I have to give a special shout-out & thankyouverymuch to Dan, his girlfriend Crystal, and Johnny for taking care of me at Toorcon SD. They were all extremely kind and generous and gracious to me. Here’s Divide’s photos of Dan, Crystal, and me from earlier in the night. (Go to Divide’s photostream on Flickr and Toorcon specific gallery)
