@marcan @dysfun yeah Steve Gibson is the guy who looks like a vacuum cleaner salesman that makes snakeoil disk recovery software under the name "GRC" (and also cohosts a podcast), whereas Brad Spengler is the grsecurity guy who had a meltdown on Twitter.

@gsuberland @marcan @dysfun Lol I knew Steve was nuts and full of snake oil but this is the first I've heard the vacuum cleaner line.
