DECAF Was Just a Stunt, Now Over

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the insecure-security dept.

An anonymous reader writes to tell us of the de-activation of all copies of DECAF. The creators have announced that the DECAF project was nothing more than a "stunt to raise awareness for security and the need for better forensic tools." Originally DECAF was billed as a tool to stop Microsoft's forensic tool "COFEE" and was covered here earlier this week. In addition to their message of security the authors somehow manage to interject a discussion about religion, so who knows what the real goal was.

    I think you meant this:

    1. Make fake software.
    2. Make fake software work like it will outshine proprietary software.

    Ironic that the message to be learned from a group of people pushing a religious agenda is "Don't be gullible."
