In a lot of work I've done in the past 5 years I've learned the term dual-use. It is the sword with two edges, it can cut the enemy and it can cut the user. From my website you might have noticed I'm an astronomy buff. There are have been huge advances in that field in recent years. Two technologies have help significantly with those; one is adaptive optics and the other is the artificial star. Both of these where and are military technologies. I when to a conference at the Chateau Laurier this September http://antem.ee.umanitoba.ca/antem_amerem2010/Home.html This was a dual conference half had military-ish applications the other medical. But essentially it is the same technology. The same technologies that are used to take lives are used to save lives. I understand where Rick and Dan are coming from. A certain amount of healthy respect must be given to those dept. who's job is protecting the assets of a country. I understand that the same people I depend upon to keep information and ideas on the Internet flowing are the same people that might be tempted to constrain the same flow. I think you understood the post for what it was. Just letting those that are interesting in the field of cyber forensics that this was happening and that I thought it was cool. OCLUG is full of very talented and intelligent members I was sure someone them would find the challenge worthwhile? -- DWW
