I have decided to stop swearing when tools don’t work and fixing them or implementing my improvements and then send them to the tool author instead. The point is to give back to the community since after all the community gave it to me for free first :). As part of this initiative as I was …
NOTE: I also posted this to the BeEF Project Wiki here Some Backtrack 5 security tools need ruby 1.8 (i.e. whatweb) and others ruby 1.9.2 (i.e. BeEF). This script automates the switch. By setting the ruby environment to the correct ruby version we can run all tools. This script aims to make this small task …
Five years ago, using a software system to monitor Internet usage may have been seen in some quarters as the preserve of large companies, and not so much of a concern to SMBs. Productivity loss, time wasted on non-work related browsing and excessive use of video streaming, are a few reasons why more and more …
I will be giving a lightning talk at Brucon next week. My goal is to give a quick overview on the vast amount of tests possible before you have permission to test a target. This is particularly useful if you are given a short test window but you are willing to put the extra effort …

Update 08/08/2011: Added link to further evidence of Shon Harris spamming via blog comments from ittraining blog at the bottom of the post. I have maintained this blog for some time. I appreciate comments but sometimes there is spam that unfortunately gets in: In particular, I was interested in the CISSP spam: The CISSP post …
This is just a quick note to let you know that I recently put together a Backtrack 5 Installation Script on the BeEF project wiki here. You won’t have to install BeEF by hand on your Backtrack 5 H4x0r server farms and clouds anymore ;).
When you are running a business, you depend on technology, devices and IT services, you need to be aware of several security implications. The greater the level of access to the numerous systems you have in place, the greater the number of security precautions you must take to protect each and every part of the …
Let’s imagine the following fictional scenario: You are operating on a shoe string security budget. An old Windows XP SP0 machine was compromised and you are tasked with acquiring a raw hard drive image so that you can perform some forensics on that image later on. To keep things simple we are leaving memory forensics …
