StopBadware has a proposal for a session for the B@10 conference. We thought it would be neat to have a panel discussion about how groups have used, are currently using, and could potentially use the Internet's generativity to help protect users from malware and related issues. We thought maybe JZ could moderate and we could get an interesting cross-section of people to be on the panel: someone from a security vendor, maybe someone from Google, perhaps a member of Cult of the Dead Cow (a gray-hat hacking group), perhaps Jimmy Wales or someone else successful at harnessing Internet crowds, perhaps someone from Digital Natives or Second Life, etc.
Harnessing the Generative Internet to Fight Badware
 
The generativity of the internet is its greatest strength, and also its greatest weakness. How can we harness the collective power of generativity to combat the uglier side of what openness brings to the net? StopBadware aims to use community action to fight badware. How have other groups used, are currently using, and could potentially use the Internet's generativity to help protect users from malware and related issues?

Harnessing the Generative Internet to Fight Badware

The generativity of the internet is its greatest strength, and also its greatest weakness. How can we harness the collective power of generativity to combat the uglier side of what openness brings to the net? StopBadware aims to use community action to fight badware. How have other groups used, are currently using, and could potentially use the Internet's generativity to help protect users from malware and related issues?

Coordinated by: StopBadware team (esp. Max & Erica)

Potential panelists (this is brainstorm, no invites or confirmations yet):

  • JZ as moderator
  • someone from a security vendor - possibly someone from Trend Micro or Alex Eckelberry from Sunbelt
  • maybe someone from Google - Eric Davis?
  • perhaps a member of Cult of the Dead Cow (a gray-hat hacking group)
  • perhaps Jimmy Wales or someone else successful at harnessing Internet crowds
  • (perhaps someone from Digital Natives or Second Life, etc.)
