Paterva: Privacy Hacking

A few weeks ago a post on our internal list pointed me at a tool called Evolution put together buy some company named Paterva. I've been playing with it quite a bit, and have even used it to demo some stuff to germalists.

Then today I say that there will be a 27dinner in Pretoria tomorrow. To my surprise Roelof Temmingh (previously of Sensepost) will be speaking, and what's more he is the founder of Paterva and one of the authors of Evolution!

I have high hopes this may be one of the best 27dinners yet (no offense to the marketing types) and if you will be in the Pta region tomorrow, come check it out.

If you won't be in the Pta region, then go check out Evolution anyway. The second beta of the standalone GUI was released last week and I am about to start playing with it. If it's anything like the last one, the web version is more functional (unless you decompile the java classes and modify the static search terms, but I would *never* do that), but the GUI gives you a good idea of it's functionality. A company and a tool to keep your eye on.

(P.S. Is it just me, or is South Africa rocking the information security party?)
