Go Software! KiTTY and Komodo Edit
2008-11-08 09:45:00 Odd Title... but it's 3:30am. The first thing I wanted to mention was KiTTY ( via /dev/random). It's a fork of PuTTY, which is nice given PuTTY is on a rather slow development cycle, and new features are almost non-existent. Some of the features include folders within the saved sessions box (although, not implemented as "friendly" ... More About: Software , Kitty , Edit , Komodo

Microsoft Out-of-Band Bulletin
2008-10-23 07:55:00 So, for anyone who didn't get the email, or hasn't heard yet... it looks like Microsoft is releasing an Out-of-Band Bulletin tomorrow. I'm excited to find out why there was cause for an emergency patch release. Side Note: Possibly the shortest blog post ever.

NoScript Force SSL
2008-10-20 21:17:00 I've always commented that I'm not a big fan of NoScript... I find browsing "modern" websites to be almost impossible with the plugin installed. For this reason, I don't know how popular it is with "the masses". That being said, I use it because a hindrance is better than a gaping security hole. However, I've now ...

Why I Changed Feed Aggregators
2008-10-13 06:40:00 For the longest time I've been using Bloglines to read RSS feeds. I've used standalone readers in the past (NewsFox and Viigo) but I've found that there's no way to sync them (I read feeds on 3-4 computers, as well as my phone) and that was a real problem for me. Bloglines is very clean ... More About: Feed

SecTor - Day 2
2008-10-09 21:36:00 I'll start of by saying the second day of SecTor was amazing compared to the first day. We started off with Stepto giving the opening keynote. While it wasn't anything groundbreaking, it was exactly as advertised and well presented. I fully enjoyed hearing him walk through how he got into security, his time with MSRC ...

SecTor - Day 1
2008-10-09 05:05:00 I debated what to write here, and if I would present the positive or negative points but I figured the only fair way was to describe both, so without further ado, I present SecTor Day 1 - The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. I figured I'd describe my day from start to fishing, instead of ...
SecTor - Training
2008-10-08 06:16:00 So I was lucky enough to be able to take part in SecTor training this week (as I previously mentioned). I spent all day Monday in HD Moore's Metasploit training. Having been been an avid metasploit user for quite some time, I was hoping that the training would include some features that were unknown to me. ... More About: Training
SecTor Goodies
2008-10-07 07:53:00 So I spent today in training @ SecTor. I attending HD Moore's metasploit training and rather enjoyed myself... I picked up a couple of things that I'd been previously unaware of. Since I was already onsite, I took advantage of the open registration booth and picked up my SecTor goodies. Instead of the cooler bag (last ... More About: Reviews , Goodies
Python 2.6 Released
2008-10-02 07:58:00 I haven't been blogging much lately (hopefully that will change shortly). However, I wanted to make sure I mentioned this. Python 2.6 has been released. What's new in Python 2.6 can be found here. More About: Released
Server Move Updates ? Interesting Occurance
2008-09-11 08:01:00 Howdy All, My server has hit 2.5 days of uptime (I've had it for almost 2 weeks, and that's the most uptime it's had yet). I finally (after fighting with tech support) was able to get them to swap the hardware and I haven't had a segfault yet, even though they still insist it wasn't a ...

Google Chrome DoS
2008-09-03 16:59:00 Well it certainly didn't take long... I noticed this on milw0rm this morning. It seems that someone has found a DoS in Google Chrome . What's interesting is that one of the thngs that Chrome does is process separation between tabs (or so they claim), yet this DoS manages to take out all of Chrome, not ...

Server Ups and Downs
2008-08-31 17:57:00 I had mentioned that there may be some downtime as I transitioned this site (and a number of my other sites) over to new servers. I'm starting to think that this will never happen. I mentioned the servers that I had ordered last week from 1and1 (a company who's service I've been impressed with for ... More About: Server
Server Transition
2008-08-26 21:03:00 Hey All, I just wanted to let everyone know that this website will be transitioning over the next few weeks (just in case their are any ups and downs along the way). I was starting to hit the occasional database connection limit exceeded (the sole downside that I've found with my host is that connections are hardcoded ... More About: Server , Transition
ASUS EEE PC
2008-08-26 02:48:00 So I finally got a ASUS EEE PC. I've wanted a small laptop for a while now, and there happened to be a great mail rebate option (valid in Canada until Aug 31st for anyone thinking about getting one). I went with the 900 in Galaxy Black. The first thing I did was set it up ... More About: Personal , Asus
SecTorAttendees.com
2008-08-22 22:54:00 Just a quick little note to share with people. In my efforts to add to the social activities associated with SecTor and to foster discussion, I've created a new website, SecTorAttendees.com. On the page you'll find a forum and a mailing list. I would invite everyone who is attending SecTor to join both and share ...
Five Part Non-Technical Series
2008-08-21 02:17:00 Hey All, I wanted to do a brief repost over here to direct everyone to the 5-part non-technical blog series that I did on cons (for the most part) and con experiences. This was my contribution to blogging following Blackhat / DEFCON. Being a Research Engineer at a Blackhat Booth Competitors Can Be Civil Why DEFCON Sucks Why the Social ...

GMail cuts threads at 61 emails
2008-08-19 20:15:00 I thought this was interesting... I don't seldom have emails that are this long, but since every survey submission is seen as part of the same resonse, I've been seeing it. It appears as though every 61 messages, the thread is cut and a new one is started. Has anyone else seen this and possibly ... More About: Gmail , Emails , Cuts
Denial of Service Survey So Far?
2008-08-19 16:34:00 Hey All, Thanks to everyone who's filled it out, for those of you that haven't... you still can (survey). A large number of people are prefering to stay anonymous, but I have gotten some rather interesting comments. To date 169 people have filled out the survey. If all goes well, I'm hoping to start analyising the ... More About: Security , Apple , Adobe , Survey , Service

Blackhat / DEFCON are over? Next is SecTor
2008-08-16 08:33:00 Hey Everyone, So Blackhat /Defcon is behind us... Instead of blogging about the talks, I've taken a different approach and I've been doing some non-technical blogging. In the end it will be a 5-part series, but the first three are already up. They are: Being a Research Engineer at a Blackhat Booth Competitors Can Be Civil Why DEFCON Sucks The last two ...
