the blue pill - once more, with feeling

i kinda hoped to never again darken my blog with those two words again... i even resisted the temptation to point to the response to the matasano challenge and say 'nyah, nyah, i told you so'...

and frankly, i'm not even interested in debunking the hogwash about it being 100% undetectable anymore - i know that perfect protection from detectors is impossible, joanna knows it's impossible, and i know that joanna knows that it's impossible...

if it were any of that stuff i've already posted about before i wouldn't be posting again because i've already said my peace about that... no, despite all the faults, all the criticisms i've made, the one good thing i was able to say was that at least she didn't release it - at least she was being responsible...

now even that is gone... maybe i should write viruses, slap a research sticker on them, release them and call it good... does that work? no? i didn't think so...

was there a compelling reason to make the stealthkit available to the public? was someone feeling the heat over some ridiculous claims and rather than eat crow decided to let those detractors test it for themselves with the cop-out caveat that it's not finished?... seems a plausible explanation - at any rate, congratulations joanna on becoming part of the problem, i'm sure that black hat you've made yourself will go over well at that conference by the same name...
