Mike Gagnon is an independent security researcher and a software engineer at Twitter. He's been doing research on defending against algorithmic complexity attacks. He and Ivan Balepin have a report coming out that analyzes attack vectors in a few popular open source applications, one of which is MediaWiki. They're interested in presenting their findings.
