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.

    One of my favorite quotes. But the actual quote is "I do not reject your Christ, I love your Christ. It is just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ."
    Gandhi never actually said he did not like Christians, just that they do not act like Christ.

    They might have shutdown decafme.org server but that is simple to get around. Full details: http://praetorianprefect.com/archives/2009/12/reactivating-decaf-in-two-minutes/.
    Plus the whole Hoax angle is totally false itself.
