o Top quality ventilation. My exhaust fan is the size of a small volkswagen.
o A long-handled whisk. OK, several of them.
o Lots of seasoned cast iron.
o A freezer full of homemade stock. Nothing else goes in the freezer except ice cubes and ice cream. Ban the nasty bouillon cubes, man.
o A terrifyingly sharp chef's knife.
o Orange extract.
o Olive oil. Lots of olive oil.
o An open bottle of Gigondas. Or, if you're buying, Chateauneuf du Pape. And a wedge of delice de bourgogne.
There are a few other requirements, but we can mostly make do if these 'ingredients' are available.

Straight, No Chaser
It's possible I'll change my mind, but at least for now, Straight, No Chaser is the ultimate. Current edition: on 5 by Monk by 5, SACD.
Thelonious Monk rewired me long ago.

I'm alive
The news:
The University of New Orleans is now designated as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Research (CAE-R). We got the news today (April 21).
We have the Scalpel file carving application carving 30 file types at line speed w/ in-place file carving... New release of Scalpel on the way, really. Truly.
I'll be in Montreal at Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal for sabbatical this summer and fall (2009).
The reverse engineering class I've been teaching during Spring 2009 at the University of New Orleans has silenced me. Huge amounts of class prep, but a very nice experience. DOS boot sector virus disassemblies, anyone?
French Quarter Festival was super. The Renard Poche band blew my mind. And Bonerama hardly sucks.
Jazz Fest time. Brass pass in hand.
DFRWS / USENIX Security in Montreal during my sabbatical. I'll be teaching at two day tutorial on (teaching) reverse engineering at USENIX Security.
Wear purple.
Peace,

Flickr
I've been spending a lot of time improving (or try to improve) my photography skills lately, concentrating mainly on macro shots. I use a Nikon D300 and various Nikkor lenses, supplemented with a Sigma 150mm macro for extreme closeups. I'm using Flickr to publish photos and solicit feedback--my page is http://flickr.com/photos/2gsandad/.
Digital Forenics Research Workshop (DFRWS)
So it's really a conference now, but DFRWS makes a good acronym and is well established.
The DFRWS will be in Montreal for 2009, held one week after USENIX Security (also in Montreal), from August 17 to 19, 2009. The conference hotel is the Delta Centre-ville Hotel, a perfect venue and at a beautiful time to visit Montreal.
Now is the time to get working on a good paper: the due date for paper submissions is March 19, 2009. The CFP is available at http://www.dfrws.org/2009/cfp.shtml.
Look for details of the 2009 DFRWS forensics challenge soon, which will be based on PS3 forensics.
It's looking like Portland for 2010, but that's still under consideration.

DC3 Challenge Results
The results of the 2008 DC3 digital forensics challenge are now available at http://dc3.mil/challenge/results.php.
This year, the University of New Orleans team, consisting of Andrew Case (CS undergraduate), Brian Roux (CS M.S. student), Lodovico Marziale (CS Ph.D. students) and I took fourth place overall and second place among academic teams. The DC3 provided challenge materials to 199 teams. Of these 199, only 20 submitted solutions to what turned out to be a very difficult challenge.

A plug for a great book...
OK, so I'm biased. But I think Elsa Hahn's new book on cooking in New Orleans is super. And it's not because she chose some of my recipes, but instead, it's the whole package. Great stories, great photography, and a lot of hard work on her part.
Check it out.
