So looks like Bruce Potter may be coming to speak at our ISSA meeting here in Tidewater. I had been talking to him about this for a bit and tho he’s about to be a Dad again, he’s willing to take some time out to come down to give a presentation. Very excited.

So found these on reddit.com this morning:

– http://www.damnvulnerablelinux.org/index.html .. a nice version of linux thats easier to hack than the normal version ( but not much

– http://www.wpacracker.com/ – a payware WPA cracking tool .. also nice .. passwords are getting WAY too easy .. everyone is using 12 characters or more right?

More fun soon.
