I did a blog post about it here: http://jasonseifer.com/2010/02/08/using-concentrate-for-pomo....

When rats were fed a diet completely lacking tryptophan for a short period, or a diet containing only one fourth of the “normal” amount for a more prolonged period, the results were surprising: They kept the ability to reproduce up to the age of 36 months (versus 17 months for the rats on the usual diet), and both their average longevity and their maximum longevity increased significantly. They looked and acted like younger rats. (A methionine-poor diet also has dramatic longevity-increasing effects.)

It has nothing to do with your post but I found it interesting.

* Water only when I'm thirsty

* Orange Juice

* Coffee in the mornings

* Raw whole milk

* Homemade beef broth

Alcoholic wise:

* Craft beer

* Wine

* Vodka

* Scotch

And that's about it.

They shook his hand and left.

Yep, don't worry, no need to call a lawyer everything's cool. High five?

The author of the article had left a default whitelist on the production box that whitelisted /dev/random as being readable. The attacker compiled a program (took a test I'm guessing) that included /dev/random. The author found out based on ip and sheer luck that the attacker was a user of the system that he had corresponded with previously.

The reason I summarized this is because I wasn't totally clear on what codeboff.in was from the article. It makes sense how an attack like this could happen. The author seems to really know his stuff and the attack vector really was a small oversight. It's pretty unsettling to me, though, how persistent/insane this attacker seems.
