I am being sponsored by Syntress! They bought me an amazing dedicated server to run catonmat on. If you're looking web services, I highly recommend the Syntress guys!
I love to read science books. They make my day and I get ideas for awesome blog posts, such as Busy Beaver, On Functors, Recursive Regular Expressions and many others.
Take a look at my
Amazon wish list, if you're curious about what I have planned reading next, and want to surprise me. :)

I've got two questions that might somewhat deflate the presentation:
#1 In the SQL injection 'union' attack (clever!) how did the attacker know the columns names and types... inside job? Surely probing on that by an attacker would leave massive traces
#2. In the XSS attack, surely the site would not announce itself as 'evil.org' ... would the name be utterly shrouded, or would there be a placeholder name, and if so... what would Alice be aware of it? ah the zero-size iframe... clever again
