  1. If you plan on using flash a lot, most likely you can use it to earn back the expense of buying it. If you just want it for something quick, check out some of the cheaper (but still good) alternatives like swish. But for christ's sake, please don't ask how to download illegal software anymore. At least once a week, someone hops on these forums expecting a freebie.

  2. In Orlando, coming back from Pleasure Island maybe? I don't know, was too drunk.

    Ah, the night of SAP and Universal Studios. Back at the hotel now.

  3. I've got issues with Security Now! They are trying to do good things by explaining everything in a very dumbed down way but Steve Gibson bothers me because he jumps way overboard on things and isn't always technically accurate.

    I second that.

    As for beginning. There are many different ways you can go, because hacking is a broad term. There are network hacks, software hacks, etc.

    I know this is a bad answer, but if want to get a good foundation, the best thing to do is learn one of those two, if not both. O'reilly has some great books out there on networking, as well as many good books on programming. If you want to start dissecting software eventually and finding flaws in it, it's almost essential that you have a good understanding of C and assembly. Then I would start digging into books like this. Also, reading through exploit code can teach you a lot. Check out milw0rm, Exploit Tree, and Security Focus for some great exploit code.

    With regards to networking, I would recommend picking up a few books on networking (Cisco, etc.) and see if you can find a few devices cheap on Ebay. Then start picking them apart, and testing out hacks. There are many good documents out there on packet forensics, and network flow. I would really read up on how networks really work, eveyone knows the basic concept, but computer networks are incredibly sophisticated and there is a lot to learn. In fact, I don't think any one person can possibly know all there is to know about digital networks, so there is always more to learn, and more vulnerabilities to discover.

  4. mmmmmmmmm, is there anything better than being schooled by a hot asian lady? I can't think of one, 'cept maybe asian catholic school girl with an English accent who can cook, loves to play games and watches pr0n for new ideas on how to school you.

    'Scuse me, I gotta go call my wife..............

    HAHAHA, awesome.

  5. The current setup in my apartment

    SAP rented out Universal Studios for members of the ASUG conference. Yes, they rented it out..... Anyway, picture of some of us partying at Universal talking geek.

    If you are still wondering how this picture is geeky, remember that there is nothing more important to a hacker than asian chicks.

    That and, surprisingly enough, she is one hell of a coder.

  6. ... it's why he got into this whole security business: The chicks dig it!

    Dude hacking always gets the chick. If I weren't a hacker I would have never gotten my girl.

    Funny thing is, she's a far superior coder than me. Got her B.S. in CS at Carnegie Mellon, and she schools me all the time.

  7. Check out Ettercap and Dsniff. I have used those tool collections on switches before. And of course something like Ethereal is good for analyzing the traffic.

    Of course, if the router holds on ARP table, you may need to investigate it's ARP lease, otherwise you may find yourself having a difficult time performing a poisoning attack.

  8. I'll be there. Got hotel reservations already, still need to book the plane ticket though, haha.

    I'll be taking my thinkpad and recording equipment, because SploitCast will be doing some recording throughout the DefCon weekend. Also taking lots of money to drink and gamble away.
