In a profession whose members have a reputation for being unable to wear matching socks, Langner is a bona fide dandy.

I enjoyed reading along about this on the Langner blog during late last year and early this year.

Ralph Langner did most of the research then Symantec refused to credit him.

Here's a much deeper and more technical presentation Ralph Langner gave on Stuxnet.

John Langner at Chi wrote a program called Procrustes, which took in fonts in some grid format and turned them into a sequence of vectors.

(36 page PDF) Langner was the first researcher (outside of those who were involved in its creation) to discover Stuxnet.

Markoff and the NYT talked about Siemens at Idaho National Labs in February, Langner said it out loud at TED and Wikipedia puts it straight on the US and Israel.

The audio recording required to shoot down the tiny fraction of this story Langner objects to would be very boring listening indeed --- because, of course, you'd have to trawl the whole thing to verify that he didn't crack wise about California blondes or D&G shoes.

(pay special attention to the national laboratory discussion) It doesn't sound like Langner is presenting any proof per-se, but then again it's not something I'd stand up on a chair and prove if I could.

I don't want to sound like I'm defending bad reporting, but the VF articles has substantive concerns about Langner as well --- for instance, his prevalence as a authoritative source for lots of other journalism about Stuxnet --- and one way to dodge that is to redirect attention to stupid stuff like what kinds of shoes he really prefers.

That was one of my favorite parts of Langner's TED talk, he was like "You really want me to go there?

This is a hypothesis put forward by Gerald Langner in the last chapter of “The Neural Code of Pitch and Harmony” 2015.

“Did you notice, yesterday I wore ostrich?” Langner loves the attention that his theories have gotten.

In the middle of the article: >Ralph Langner, a researcher who conducted an in-depth analysis of Stuxnet after the malware’s existence came to light, noted that “a water pump cannot carry a copy of Stuxnet”.

The article is ostensibly not even about Langner, even though it quotes and discusses him warmly throughout.

Langner studied psychology and artificial intelligence at the Free University of Berlin.

Langner's complaint makes it sound like a hit piece.
