On Dave and Gunnar show

There is now an interview of me on the Dave and Gunnar show (episode #51). I talk mostly about How to prevent the next Heartbleed. I also talk about my FLOSS numbers database (as previously discussed) and vulnerability economics. There was even a mention of my Fully Countering Trusting Trust through Diverse Double-Compiling work.

Since the time of the interview, more information has surfaced about Heartbleed. Traditional fuzzing could not find Heartbleed, but it looks like some fuzzing variants could even if the OpenSSL code was unchanged; see the latest version for more information. If you learn more information relevant to the paper, let me know!
