VMware, Win7 & VirtualXP
<update-20091129> Very grateful to Timmedin for pointing me in the direction of his recent work with the same issue. In usual form, Tim has even packaged up a powershell script to automate the workaround. Check his fix here, much cleaner and slicker than my own. If your still curious, read on for the backstory. </update> […]
Kon Boot
I’m running behind the curve on this one, but after several of my usual sources suggesting KonBoot as a useful addition to any security toolkit. The premise of Kon-Boot is simple, by modifying the system kernel (Windows or Linux) upon boot there is no need to know the users password to access the system. Kon-Boot […]
Updated wardrive rig
This post should be short and sweet as Dale beat me to the punch with an excellent write up of wardriving with BT4. Thanks to some back and forth advice, Dale’s hardware setup is also nearly identical to mine so I wont repeat anything he’s already published. But his post did push me to stop […]

Zero wine just runs the malware using WINE in a safe virtual sandbox (in an isolated environment) collecting information about the APIs called by the program. The output generated by wine (using the debug environment variable WINEDEBUG) are […]
June SuperMondays Review
This review of June’s event is more than a little late, but it was still a great event. The format was different this time around, with an open podium. This produced some interesting and unexpected topics, the first being an introduction into the world of geocaching from Alastair McDonald. Alastair’s talk caught me unawares as […]
Starting out with physical security
Several months ago I was involved in a discussion focusing on steps taken to secure information systems, and came to the realisation that all the counter measures and protections where network and system based. As a joke I asked what was the point if someone could pick the building locks and walk out with the […]

Good night Milw0rm
Final Update: Crisis averted, Milw0rm is still up and functioning. Looks like Milw0rm is calling it a night. Haven’ t been able to get any official word as the site is unavailable. As the site is now unavailable it’s hard to tell what happened, but an ISC diary has this message from the site: Well, […]
kismet2gmapstatic: Updated versions
I’ve spent the day adding some additional functionality to my GPS mapping proof of concept (original here). The second release, kismet2gmapstatic-0_2.py, changes the scripts output to wrap the Google maps API call in a self contained HTML page, and contains multiple map images to mitigate the URL length limit. The third release, kismet2gmapstatic-0_3.py, builds on […]
