DEBKAfile - Two Suspected Israeli Computer Hackers Face Extradition from London

Now this is what I call "corporate espionage." I picked this article up from the DD ( see prior posts ). It will be interesting to how this pans out.

Preventing turkeys from reading your AOL hacker chats

I wish all of the idiots who have developed an encryption plugin for their AIM clients would've taken a deep breathe and provided something like this from the frogs at Secway..Although its funny to realize such ex-blackhats as Nicolas "plaguez" Dubee work there.

The Elder Geek on Windows XP

Decent website for Windows XP fixes and associated nonsense.

MBA Elites try to predict future and fail

Today's bonehead move.
Some Adrian Lamo ripoff told BusinessWeek back in Feb how to pull your admission results to determine if you're one of the business elite. I find it hilarious that 1) the problem was never fixed and 2) that the university's are even bothering with giving the prospects a second chance to explain their actions. For such universities that are supposedly so good at understanding the human psyche and making good business decisions, how fucking dumb are you to think that everyone is going to obey the honor code and not look? With so much riding on getting into a prestigious business schools, who quite honestly wouldn't want to know early if they were admitted or not? Quite honestly, its a pure demonstration of typical business ethics and what is demonstrated by executive teams in attempting to gain a "competitive advantage."

What The Hack

It's that time again. 4 years later and its time to invade the Nederlands once more. In 2000, it was HAL 2000. This time its What The Hack. Hopefully this year the OpenBSD team doesn't get picked on as much and have their poster defaced or get their tent dropped... Just make sure you don't drop the soap if you see any of these guys in the group shower..

what the ....

I was minding my own business as usual until one of my friends pasted this to me. He seems like a good guy and probably misunderstood by the Man.... just like Frankenstein...

The DD

The Daily Dave mailing list . One of the few mailing lists out there that isn't moderated and still maintains to be intelligible from time to time. Probably the only mailing list that I bother to follow anymore. Well worth the wasted mail space.

Aitel also has a pretty decent pentest tool known as CANVAS. Much cheaper than Core Impact and definitely more useful than Nessus. Buy a copy and ensure Bas doesn't get too thirsty.

decent blog to read

Tom Ptacek's blog. If you're unfamiliar with Tom then look up his initial work in breaking NIDS while he was working at Secure Networks. I used his original work in my senior project regarding IDS and their falicies. He's also worked at a defunct start up ( Sonicity ) and now in charge of product marketing at Arbor Networks.

test
