Someone wrote me on Twitter and asked if I had a webpage about my 1968 Mustang, and I said I didn’t, although it was a good idea for those that are interested. So I made a quick page here on my website that I will keep updated with it’s progress.
Check out the page here. Thanks.
You can also find it under the “Pages” links on the right hand side of the homepage of the blog.
This is an image that’s been floating around the past couple days on the internet. I have no idea where it originally came from.
I don’t pirate movies, I buy movies from iTunes, which, skips all the nonsense illustrated above and just gives you the movie. Which, really, is all we want anyway right?
I thought this image kind of sums it up correctly though.
Stop Google Buzz From Showing the World Your Contacts – google buzz – Lifehacker.
If you are a person who values their privacy and want to secure you Google Buzz contacts, I.E. Not show everyone in the world who is in your contact book, follow the directions above.
I’ve done this, just for good citizen’s sake, as well as manually blocked some people that I don’t trust. Keep on top of this stuff people! As an online community becomes more ubiquitous, the more risk you present in revealing too much.
Tuning Snort with Host Attribute Tables – CSO Online – Security and Risk.
Here is an article I wrote for CSO magazine, thought the readers of my blog might like to check it out as well.
I was asked to write a fairly technical article for CSO magazine about Snort, the problem is, which part of Snort do you write the article for? An article about Snort can be very technical or not so technical. One of the advantages of having Open-Source software.
In any case, enjoy.
Will Hack For SUSHI » MiFi Config Hack.
A post by friend and collegue at SANS Joshua Wright. Joshua is one of the guys I know that is really proficient at hacking wireless. Bluetooth, wifi, etc. He does some really wonderful work at that, and he’s fantastic at it.
This post is about him hacking his Mifi (Verizon). He has two posts on the subject you should check out if you have a Mifi.
The other post is here.
So, after my post about ask.com’s network… Here’s another quiz for you.
Feb 15 09:16:39 localhost kernel: IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:03:47:f1:52:0d:00:18:01:b6:c1:4d:08:00 SRC=121.242.15.135 DST=192.168.x.x LEN=72 TOS=0×00 PREC=0×00 TTL=45 ID=32394 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=52764 DPT=22 WINDOW=46 RES=0×00 ACK PSH FIN URGP=0
Enjoy.

Thanks Shirkdog for pointing this out.
So, in the spirit of another post I put up recently, I am monitoring my firewall logs for anything strange and I keep seeing this:
Feb 8 14:47:55 localhost kernel: IN=eth0 OUT= SRC=66.235.120.71 DST=192.168.x.x LEN=455 TOS=0×00 PREC=0×00 TTL=49 ID=33745 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=80 DPT=58709 WINDOW=54 RES=0×00 ACK PSH URGP=0
The Source is Ask.com, the DST is my webserver, but take a look at the Ports. SRC port 80? DPT 58709? Anyone else see anything like this? This is being denied at my firewall because of my ESTABLISHED,RELATED line. So, the connection was not made from here. It’s initiated from the outside.
What’s going on over there at Ask.com?
I took away the WP Greet Box for awhile based on the fact that I didn’t really have it configured optimally. I wanted the Greet Box (which is a little pop up widget that say “Hello, welcome to the site, you can subscribe here” — pretty much) because on several of the themes I have been partial to, had no obvious way to subscribe via RSS. I’ve fixed that now with, as the blog will advertise that it has a feed in the URL bar now (for most modern browsers), also with a link over in the sidebar that points you to the feed. But I wanted a little something, non-intrusive, that pointed to the RSS feed when you came from certain sites. (Digg, StumbleUpon, things like that). So it’s there again, but only if you get directed from certain webpages to my site. Which, actually, is the majority of the hits I receive. Basically it’s just an experiment. Bear with me.
