Last bit from Infosec 2006

Well, my fingers are back and healed now on my trusty laptop. Thought I'd share a few pics I took on my mobile at the show. Just wilt at the stunning quality of the built in camera. (I use the word camera in a very loose fashion...)

It was madness on the 24th (day before), this pic shows the state of the place during the afternoon before the show. Utter chaos, cables everywhere, bits of debris, paint, nails, screws, hinges, you name it, miraculously transformed for the following day...

Sun didn't have it's own stand (yes I know, we ask the same question), so we were fortunate to be able to piggy back on our bon amies 'ActivIdentity'... Naturally, our EntireID proposition was on display (which contains some ActivIdentity stuff)

It was a big show, virtually all the famous names were about and a bunch of folks I hadn't come across before. Stuff on display included a lot on anti-virus, firewall, VOIP, ethical hacking, server security, card management, encryption, but nothing really new and funky. Looks like a year on consolidate to me..

Coolest piece of technology? Well, nothing really jumped out at me, but these two fellows were quite amusing. Walking around in a moody fashion with dark glasses, struting around like the management, but never saying a word. They had backpacks with big speakers and modified laptops fitted. The screens were on a big pole that came out of the top of the backpack to an LCD panel above their heads... thus they advertised around the halls.

There were also some fluffy bunny girls, but damn, the mobile camera was too slow at reloading! ;-)
