Month of the Kernel Bugs
Thu, 2006-11-02 00:04 — MarkBThe security world thought the Month of Browser Bugs (MoBB) was somewhat scary. Well, the Month of Kernel Bugs (MoKB) is amidst us now, and we only thought that killing user's web browsers was bad - let's attempt to kill/exploit/smash the code that keeps the CPU hot. In all seriousness - I'm interested to see how far MoKB goes, as it will definitely make life interesting now that people could crash servers and workstations. So what will the final tally be for DoS, Remote Code Execution and/or Data Coruption be?
BackTrack, a new Pen-Test LiveCD
Thu, 2006-02-23 23:31 — Christopher  |
I just happened to notice that BackTrack 3.0 Beta has been released. BackTrack is an amalgamation of two previous projects; WHAX and Auditor. This CD is full of useful tools for conducting penetration tests. New features include a python development environment, updatable exploit archives for milw0rm and Securityfocus, one-click setup for Nessus and Snort, and the inclusion of the free VMWare Player. I havn't had a lot of time to experiment with it, but I did find that the current beta seems to have poor WiFi support. They do mention WiFi scripts and drivers on their to-do list. |
