Congrats, Dan! I find especially impressive the fact that this work was a part of a student project. You certainly seem to be teaching them well down there in Texas! (But what else to expect from someone with results like yours )

I also like the web page about the discovery - clear, complete, slightly understated. No symptoms of slashdotting yet, BTW.

Heck, even NYT almost got it right (first paragraphs are a bit off ("which could permit an attacker to secretly search the contents of a personal computer via the Internet"), but they cleared it up later in the text).

Impressive, all together!
