I think Dan Kaminsky is on this list. Any other tidbits you can add
prior to Black Hat?

Kaminsky Breaks DNS

Well, sort of.
Today Dan Kaminsky released a first, as far as I can recall. A
coordinated patch was released today by Dan Kaminsky of IO Active that
fixes a vulnerability that apparently exists in all DNS servers.
Unlike other researchers who give up the gory details, Kaminsky took a
wiser path by smiling and nodding. He’ll give up the goods at Black Hat
in August. That should give folks enough time to patch their systems.
