Bridging the Gap Between Hackers and Academics

Tal Garfinkel writes "There has long been a disconnect between academic computer security and underground forums like Black Hat and Phrack. A new USENIX-sponsored workshop called WOOT (Workshop On Offensive Technologies) is looking to bridge that gap by providing a high-quality, peer-reviewed forum for attack papers, with top reviewers from the academic, open source, commercial IT, and information warfare communities. Got a great attack paper? See if it makes the cut at WOOT."

Yup, "Academics" AKA "Pseudo Intellectuals" AKA "People who sit around and brag about their educations", don't know the difference between "Hackers", "Crackers" and Script Kiddy's".
