for the question of the week, here's a half-assed guess after a bunch of half-assed google searches:
PaX

Heard you say people are asking about more security podcasts. Marcus Ranum has one that just started called RearGuard Security http://www.rearguardsecurity.com/
It shows promise.

For Andy's Syngress Question - what ASLR algorithm was used in the old RedHat kernels (RH9, FC1 and such). My best guess is that I believe he was referring to Exec-Shield’s PIE algorithm (Position Independent Executables). I remembered something being discussed on the dailydave regarding RH's ExecShield with a flawed PT_GNU_STACK.

Andy is right, I suggested the fake WEP packets on the wifi list ages ago and it was discussed and decided that it wouldn't help.
