In this edition of RB2 you'll hear Paul Craig's Kiwicon 3 presentation, Hacking Scientists. As you'll hear, Paul has developed some fuzzing methodologies that he's applied to scientific software.

This sort of software -- chemistry stuff, fluid dynamics stuff etc -- is used by weapons designers, pharmaceutical engineers, car manufacturers and all sorts of very interesting people.

In other words, this software is found on the same systems as the world's most valuable IP. It's good stuff to find bugs in.

Anyone know if any of the content from Kiwicon is archived anywhere? Most of the overseas cons at least put the presentations up somewhere and i'm curious if there are archived copies in existance...

Nope... just me

I'm the only one there with an audio recorder. I recorded most of the con, but a lot of stuff just really wouldn't work as audio podcasts.

Was there a particular presentation you were interested in? I can go through my archive and see if I can find it for you...
