I'm working my way through the new Metasploit for Penetration testers book by David Kennedy, Jim O’Gorman, Devon Kearns, and Mati Aharoni and I have to say it's pretty awesome. It's not just about how to launch ms08-067, it's also about the thought processes behind pen testing and compromising …
Google+ and Google Apps Customers - A Rant
Google, hey Google.... could you come over here for just one second? Cool.
OK Google. W.T.F? Seriously though W.T.F?
You've launched Google+ to great fanfare, you've got your eyes on facebook like it's the most popular guy at school and you'd just like a little bit …
Pre-requisite period of blog silence
I'm sure the readers of my blog, yes, both of you, have noticed that I haven't actually posted anything in the past few weeks. I understand that it is customary after starting a blog that one puts effort in for a lest a month before abandoning it for something new …
WiFi Auditing gear
I had a nice surprise waiting for me when I got back from Bsides London (Awesome), DC4420 (Frighteningly awesome) and Infosec2011 (Mostly lame). The final piece of my WiFi auditing kit had arrived. I now have the Alfa AWUS051NH, 2.4GHz directional antenna & 5GHZ directional antenna.

GPEN
Yay, I passed my GPEN yesterday. Scored 94%, but I reckon I could have got 98 if I hadn't of fluffed a couple of simple questions. I had an hour left on the clock when I finished so I guess I should have slowed down a bit. I aced the …

It's been a while since I posted, so I thought I'd put up something that has been bothering me for a long time, and isn't about bulbs ;)
Every security pro knows what a rainbow table is, at least they think they do. I was certainly in that position until I …
GU10 4W 5050 SMD 20 Super Bright LED
My replacement LED bulb came on Friday, and I've had it installed for a few days to see what it's like.

Samsung n220 netbook running Ubuntu Netbook Edition
I've made my mind up about the travel netbook and gone for the Samsung n220 with the long battery life.
First Impressions
It's small, light and good looking; everything you need in a netbook. Running Windows 7 Home Starter with only 1GB of RAM is not a good idea. It …
Which netbook to entertain a 3 year old on a plane?
The Enemy family are of on our holidays this summer, and now that version 2.0 is 3 she is getting very hard to keep entertained. We have a 4 hour flight ahead of us, and who knows how long waiting around in departure lounges, and having Disney on tap …
GU10 48 SMD warm white LED mini review
My GU10 48 SMD warm white LED arrived yesterday and I quickly installed it in my Kitchen halogen light fitting to see how it did.
The colour temperature is defiantly closer to the original
halogen that it replaced, I certainly can't fault it in that regard.
However it is defiantly …
