Well it seems as if they've pushed back the realize of Whoppix 2.4 till the 10th, the more I read about it the more I get interested. The Demos that they have are pretty interesting to :D

I got an older laptop that I can use this with, I can't wait for it to come out.

WhiteHat Knoppix (Whoppix) is a knoppix 3.6 remaster designed to be a standalone penetration testing toolkit. Heavily modded by muts, Whoppix includes a full set of penetration testing tools and a huge repository of exploits (Framework 2.2, Packetstorm and Securityfocus exploit archives).

Dowanload will be available on the 10th Oct HERE

A friend had just called me all in a panic because a disk holding all of her papers for class just crapped on her. She stuck it in the machine and it told her that it can not read a MAC formatted disk. Unfortunately for her she has only been using PCs, so when she asked if I could help my first reaction was like there is no way windows can read a MAC disk. Well I checked and they actually have software that can do it, Executor is one solution. Executor is a Macintosh Emulator, I'm not really sure of all of its capabilities but I'll download it and test it out at home. Well hell....If Windows can do it then Linux obviously can do it better :D and damnnit it does. Besides Executor being able to run on Linux, you can read Macintosh Hierarchical File System (HFS) thanks to kernal 2.x.x. I can prove it too..... See. So we'll see if I can open the file from home, then we'll see if she's really hosed or not.

I couldn't really tell you why I'm up so freakin early, I did fall asleep on the floor again. Another one of those nights where a talk on the with my best friend turns into falling asleep next to the phone while its on speakerphone. I think it was a weird dream I had that woke me up....ormaybe just the frog in my neck that was killing me while I slept. Anyways, I've been up for about 40 mins though...got up and got some cereal...transferred my space heater to my bedroom from the computer room...try to figure out why my network seems to act up when there is something plugged into port 3 of the switch...do another base-config on my fresh debian install....see, just typical stuff people do when they just happen to get up too early.
I've been joining a lot of different websites lately, all of them dealing with hacking or technology. They all seem to be good sources of information and if they are new they seem like they will one day develop into that. I think I've joined a few too many though cuz I think I may have forgotten which ones I went to already.
I'm kind of tired, but that still isn't keeping me away from this computer. I wanna lay back down but I know that if I lay back on the floor that I'm not gonna be comfortable in any way. Right now my room is too cold to be of any comfort either, so I guess I'm stuck here for now. I applied for this "Desktop Support Analyst" position and the guy keeps emailing me back wanting more detail in my resume. I guess I can work on that but the problem I'm having is figuring out what to put and how to put it. Anything that I've learned about computers has been self taught, I've only taking one computer class that I didn't know what I was doing. (That was high school in an IB Programming class that I hated) So trying to put down my experiences and trying to some how make them look a little bit more formal is what's killing me. I guess there is nothing more that I can do except do it, so we'll see what I can cram into there.

I keep forgetting these simple commands for some reason, so I'll put them here (Redhat 8):

Burn the ISO after I've downloaded it
cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,0,0 blahblah.iso

Burn the VCD after I've downloaded the .cue and .bin files
cdrdao write --device 0,0,0 blahblahblah.cue

Create an ISO image from directory
mkisofs -r -o /image.iso /dir_of_files_to_use

:::EDIT:::
I just finished a Debian 3.0 (Sarge) net install that was fairly painless, however, the machine on it is too freakin slow and my retarded self downloaded the desktop environment when all I really needed was a file server. I'll figure out how to take all that other junk out later.

You think you know what cool is..... but you have no idea

See what cool looks like

....and I definitely know you don't what being "too cool" is.

You know what, I think I may really have to try out that Whoppix but I'm gonna wait for version 2.4 to come out this week. I think I'm gonna have a lot of fun with it.

I'm hearing a little buzz about Whoppix, a linux live-cd distro geared towards penetration testers and also those who wouldn't mind getting their hands on a website full of exploits all rolled up into one convenient little package. I'm currently at work so there's not much I can do from here. I'll download it and play with it when I get home though.
I had changed my stats counter a few weeks ago to use the one from Statcounter.com, and I will definitely say that I am very pleased with the results of that and with IpLocator as well.

Started playing a wargame over at Next Generation Security, I would definitely say this is some very interesting stuff hopefully I can make the rank of "g00r00" so I can start on the next one. I've done a couple of these before but I've always seemed to have gotten bored or just forgotten about it. I think I'll stick with this one to the end, I need to add to my skillset and this is just the way to do it. I'm currently at a level 5 working on level 6.... my goal will be to get my skills to the point where I can pass their certification exam.
Other than that I had a pretty damn good weekend, hung out with my best friend for the whole time which is always a plus. If she wasnt around I would probably be spending a lot more time staring at a blank ceiling than I already do. :)
