Lamers and script kiddies pay $5,000 to live in a South Boston warehouse for a week, dodging rats and angry Mark Wahlberg lookalikes while they try to bring down a Star Trek-fan BBS using Windows 95 boxes on a dial-up connection. This mash-up would create the Frankenstein's monster of security boutiques. It would be a one-stop shop for all of your security testing needs.
You'd have Immunity's CANVAS tool to test the security of your network, Veracode's SecurityReview service to test your binaries for vulnerabilities, and Matasano's DeploySafe service to check the seaworthiness of the products you're deploying in your environment. What else do you need? Okay, so it doesn't make a lot of business sense.
But at the very least it would reunite many of the key players from @stake: Chris Wysopal, Christien Rioux and Chris Eng from Veracode; Matasano's Dave Goldsmith (and former Matasano employees Dino Dai Zovi and Window Snyder); and Dave Aitel from Immunity. How's that for some brain power under one roof?
