The Linux Ninja

I started listening to the Security B-Sides Las Vegas 09 audio release by the Security B-Sides guys (I believe Jack Daniel did most of the audio editing) after forgetting that the mp3 files had been out there for awhile. You can either subscribe to the B-Sides RSS feed or subscribe to the podcast in iTunes. So far I have finished listening to to a talk on WarVOX by H.D. Moore of the Metasploit project, a talk on using BeEF + Cain for snagging and cracking password hashes, and a good talk by Mike Kershaw, author of kismet, that covers developments in lorcon and kismet and integration into metasploit. These have all been really interesting and informative to listen to and are highly recommended.

The BruCon conference was held at the end of September and they released the presentation materials and video soon after. You can find the video on the BruCon website here and the materials here.I’ve started watching Chris Nickerson’s (of Tiger Team fame and currently one of the hosts on Exotic Liability in addition to his day job at Lares Consulting) talk and it’s been really good so far. The videos look to be a little bit fuzzy so I recommend following along in the PDF versions of the slides.

I hope to take some ideas from these talks and start making some posts on using the tools and methods talked about and applying them in virtual environments for those that are inclined to do alot of self-learning, so please stay tuned….
