I feel like I'm missing a lot of information due to lack of context here.

this, plus slides are intended to accompany a presentation - I don't bother to watch videos of presentations though. I'd really prefer a transcript.

Exactly - I read pretty quickly, but usually don't have the time/patience/inclination to watch a whole 30+ minute talk. Transcripts are the best, I wish more talks had them.

The video should be available within a few months.

On slide 37 it mentions EICAR, which I think is a very cool program. It's an all-ASCII executable, and it's used as a test file for antivirus programs. http://thestarman.pcministry.com/asm/eicar/eicarcom.html Just put this in a file and your AV should detect it:

  X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*

I wrote a write-up of it https://code.google.com/p/corkami/source/browse/trunk/misc/e...

Ange Albertini is awesome. His other slides in Speakerdeck are also great.
