I just got Ming, the Flash library, working in Ruby. I'm instrumenting the pure-ruby Ruby-AES library to "snapshot" each transformation of the AES round function, and playing with different ways to visualize substitution and permutation. I'm hoping to lay out step-by-step transformation of AES blocks, left-to-right, on a 34"x24" poster for Black Hat.
Our Chicago intern, who we found on Hacker News, is going to be helping me with this project this week. He doesn't know it yet, though.
I'm also finishing our "official" poster for Black Hat, which is a hex/ASCII chart with "interesting" characters highlighted (like a calendar with holidays).
Starting sometime in the next couple weeks, I'm coming off a solid 18+ months of back-to-back consulting projects and moving back to product work for Playbook (http://runplaybook.com), Matasano's product. I have a lot of customer calls to make. Another thing that entails: recruiting a jQ/frontend Ruby developer in Chicago. Leads welcome!
