Re: [Vol-users] Windows memory forensics class

Hi Howard, I can definitely attest that NONE of the Volatility development team will be attending. Given a number of ongoing disagreements with SANS, with respect to their exploitation of open source developers and their refusal to respect the requests of those developers, the aforementioned training and their use of Volatility is not endorsed or sanctioned by the Volatility development team. We would hope that those who benefit from and value the contributions of the Volatility developers would not support those organizations that attempt to exploit those efforts for their own self-interests. By supporting those organizations, it only disincentives open source development. Alternatively, the Volatility team will soon be announcing a number of new training opportunities. These offerings will give analysts the opportunity to learn from the actual researchers and developers, as opposed to those attempting to regurgitate material they clearly do not understand. It will also be an opportunity to show your support for the open source developers who donate their time and resources into one of the most innovative projects in the industry.
