Try to keep up

Since I've got back from Defcon 20, Work has been Crazy! Long hours and lots of overtime. So hopefully by this weekend, if not sooner, I'll post the talks and my notes.

Defcon 20 wrap up

Wow, and that was a party! My first and the last held ninja party, and what an experience.
Dual core, dj jackalope, and minibosses were amazing! Meet quite a few people, including a Red Hat teacher, a Web application consultant, 2 guys who had worked together on a few projects including XBMC, voip, mesh networking, a college student that is trying to build a defensive blog/wiki, saw Snubs and i86, and a set of brothers interested in the raspberry pi and they have a Hackentosh running. So it was great to meet so many technical people.

Got back to my room at the Rio at 3 am and slept till 10:30 am, showered, cleaned the room, and checked out.
On our way to the conference ran into Darren Kitchen of Hak5 and talked for a bit on mesh networking, like what the ninja telco did this year or with Android meshing. So that was cool. 

I looked at what was on my schedule for today and decided that I wanted to go to the sky talks, since they aren't recorded, and got some great info. I will post my notes on the block when i have time. 

So I got a few more bawls energy drinks, a physical Bitcoin, and a Defcon hat.

When to a sky talks about how network sucks, because people don't take the time to configure their own setup, which had a follow up WIFI village talk about making your own mesh networking using 2.4 spec, 802.15 which will be made available soon to play with.

The next sky talk was about how any device that is wired has a radio frequency that you think gives off, enabling you to sniff it with some specially made equipment.

And the next talk was about mobile pen testing framework, to test to see if your network has unsecured mobile devices.

After that we jumped into the car and have been on the road since. Traffic has been bad, but for now we are moving.
More to come lots of data to throw up here over the next few days.

Ninja party

This is the last ninja party, and I am going to it! I haven been before, looks sweet! So far amazing talks today. And am really digging all the projects with Android, removing the java, making mesh networks, just to name a few.

I am going to reboot at 7, then the chill out lounge for bit. I'll miss the white hat ball, but I'd rather be at the ninja party.

Great 1st Defcon day

Great talks, got my new Pineapple mark 4, got the new Katana 3, people picked up a few stickers and shirts. I am very happy with my nexus 7! It went all day with recording every talk I went to and it still had a charge! I more to come.

We are in line...

We wanted to try and cut the line waiting line, and so we got to Vegas at 12 am on Thursday morning... I and we are now sitting in line, 4th, 5th & 6th in line. The a few goons working, another group of people in line, a few too many drinks, and then trying to sing.

I'm using the new Google nexus 7 tablet for this Defcon. We will see how it holds up. More posts to come

Defcon or bust

I won 3rd place for the Defcon Art Contest!  Epic!  And now we are on the road to Vegas.  More to come!

Raspberry Pi update

I bought 2 Raspberry Pi's, and I'll document here, what I did with both.

I am doing this on a Windows 8 Release Preview 32 bit, build 8400, AMD Athlon 7550 Dual-Core 2.50 GHz, 4 GB Ram.


First I went to Raspberry Pi's Official Site, under the download page and Downloaded the OS's I wanted.


Then I downloaded Win32DiskImager , then un-ziped it. 


Very Important, I right clicked Win32 Disk Imager, and ran as administrator. 

I clicked on the Blue Folder Icon, then browsed to my un-ziped OS, in this example its archlinuxarm-13-06-2010.img


I select the drive letter of the SD card in the device box. Make sure to select the correct drive; if you get the wrong one you can destroy your computer's hard disk!


I click Write and waited for the write to complete. 


After that, I exit the imager and ejected the SD card. 


Plugged the card in the Raspberry Pi, power it on, and it booted up.

The First OS I put on was Pwn Pi.

It's a security suite for the Raspberry Pi.

Default Login username is root and password root.

The picture above is what the desktop looks like.

After that I switched to my second Pi and plugged in the Debian "squeeze" OS.

And plugged it into my 55 inch projection tv via the RCA jack, and it looks great!

So below I wanted to test my Discovery projector with the Raspberry Pi.
