Blue Security Comment Watch

I get a few comments and trackbacks to my blog postings every week and realize that many of you either get my stuff through RSS or e-mail and tend not to ever see those thoughts - that do add a bunch to the conversation. So every so often I'll go through and point out interesting discussions.

Not unexpectedly the Blue Security post garnered the most comment activity, with a chap called Spy der Man discussing some open source efforts (dubbed Black Frog) to distribute the Blue Security techniques. I made the analogy between Blue and Black Frog to Napster and Kazaa. Martin McKeay covers the issues with Black Frog in this post (http://www.computerworld.com/blogs/node/2559).

I also heard from Martin and Michael Masnick of TechDirt to clarify their sentiments about Blue Security's demise. They are chagrined about the spammer's victory. I'm much more sanguine and not surprised by the entire episode. Live by the sword, die by the sword - as they say.

In any case, thanks to all that contribute comments to the blog. It's that kind of discourse that makes this a lot of fun.
