The Shmoo Group

I guess I have hit a nerve here?

That is what comes when you crow about pwning things. Especially when it comes to injecting pictures of a goat's anus.

 What The Shmoo Group (TSG) say about themselves:

... a non-profit think-tank comprised of security professionals from around the world who donate their free time and energy to information security research and development.

The words above are from the group - TSG - a group of hackers from 2006 who claim to have answers to security issues. It is more like a front to present a business case for their existence (well that is my opinion)


The Shmoo Group had various projects to present at ShmooCon, an event to promote themselves, including Google's Summer Of Code and a host of other things to promote the FUD around wireless security.

This is just what the AV and Anti-Malware industry does to promote fear so that computer users purchase their products.
