Richard, it was an updated version of the talk I gave last year. From your original blog post last year... it seems that you understood my talk, but didnt "get it". There is no NEWS about network early warning systems... as I said in my talk... there is nothing new about what Im going to say. Most people just dont do any analysis. Now, what I dont like is that you post shit like this just to be confrontative. I mean... are you still presenting your OLD TCP/IP Weapons School? or talking about your OLD NSM stuff... come on. Be a bit more zen mr Tao. Follow the way. Be the way.

I don't have official attendance numbers, but it looked like about 250 - 300 people total, with about 100 or so being in the log management track and the rest in the encryption summit.

Also, just to be fair, most of the presenters were end users, not vendors, though there was one particular talk that I'm pretty sure was written by the vendor. Other than that, though, it really wasn't a sales-fest.

Also, Richard, I don't know if it was the same NEWS talk from last year, since I wasn't there. Maybe it has been updated since?

What was the attendance like? I didn't hear about it ahead of time and thought about going for Tuesday but the $2145 for 2-days of workshops/talks seemed, well, insanely ridiculously high.

Looking forward to seeing a few of the articles but since a large number of the presenters are vendors I think I'll save myself the $2K and just have them come in to spend time with me personally while they pitch me.
