I'm incredibly sad to report that Andrea Bittau died in a motorcycle accident on Saturday. Andrea was one of the most cheerful and likable people I've ever met. He was also a brilliant engineer, undaunted by the most intimidating challenges. I've never known anyone as good as him at diving into a huge messy pile of someone else's code and figuring out exactly how to get something done--often through an amazingly clever and original simplifying hack. Andrea was one of those rare security researchers who could be equally effective on the attack or the defense side. Though he put the final nail in WEP's coffin and later blew away the Oakland 2014 audience with his demonstration of blind return-oriented programming, he will be equally remembered for his contributions to the TCPINC working group, fine-grained privilege separation, and cryptographically-enforced control-flow integrity. Andrea will be sorely missed. David
