mmmm kay. still doesn't really explain things that much. but ok...

So as someone who doesn't frequent IRC...someone please explain? DB died?....no backup?.....your shitting me right?

Im a hardware whore and its been about six years since i've built a pc for myself from scratch. Im still using my old dual core conroe with 4 gig ram. so i thought i'd give myself a present. pretty much for all round use..grunty enough to run games and a few vms along the way with a bit of future proofing and room for expansion and upgrades.

Just need an opinion on these builds. Feel free to offer constructive criticism. Option One: Intel Core i5 3570K ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard HIS Radeon HD7850 2GB Corsair Vengeance CML8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 CoolerMaster HAF XM Case OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W Modular Corsair Force Series 3 120GB SSD CoolerMaster Hyper 412 Slim CPU Cooler Total Price: $1155.00 Option Two: Corsair Hydro Series H60 CPU Cooler Intel Core i5 2500K ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard HIS Radeon HD7850 2GB CoolerMaster HAF XM Case G.Skill Ares F3-1866C9Q-16GAB 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 Corsair Force Series 3 120GB SSD OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W Modular Total Price: $1255.00

I bought another tplink TL-WR703N from ebay for this project: http://www.minipwner.com/ Same internals as what this guy uses just cheaper. Cost me $25au free postage. It's a network tap, wifi access point. Could this be a substitute/companion for the interceptor?

Picked up one of these today. $9000au plus $3000 trade on my old xvs650 Dragstar. 9781kms on the odo. 1 owner, old bloke who apart from the occasional maintenance ride, had it garaged for 3 years. Photos to come after I give her a good polish :) http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2005models/2005models-Yamaha-FJR1300.htm

Well the TL-WR703N arrived from Hong Kong. Pretty happy with it overall. Surprisingly good range for a strip based antenna. I managed to turn it into a nice little PirateBox within about 15mins all up. Really easy to follow the guide. Blogged about it here: http://dunjen.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/digital-dead-drop/ I'm thinking I'll import another very soon and see what else can be done with it.

Well i successfully got metasplut and armitage to work on the vm install of backtrack5 r2. Now i'll work on actually using it on my home network and then updating everything. Never majorally into linux, let alone backtrack...but i thought fuck it, its about time. thanks again for your help :)

thank you very much mate, i appreciate the time you took to explain it to me. i shitcanned the vm and i'll start again, (cool thing about vms:) ) you're defintely correct about things working from the box, as armitage and msf all work as they should when using the "live" backtrack... i'll let you know how i went.

BackTrack 5r2 in virtual box VM... ran msfupdate ran msfconsole tried to run armitage now i get : org.postgresql.util.PSQLException ERROR: relation "workspaces" the fix for this? run msfconsole.......WHICH I ALREADY FUCKING DID! ran it again.......SAME FUCKING ERROR> RAAWRARRWRASRARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

Thankx for all the replies, dudes. I'm just going to go with backtrack in a virtualbox and see how that pans out. Winblowz is just too meh. cheers :)

fresh install of windows 7 x64 downloaded metasploit community edition (armitage is bundled) installed went to Framework Update updated all ok Created an account using their web browser GUI and activated using a community license. Closed browser. started armitage and was asked to connect to the database.... changed the details in armitage to the port that metasploit install said it was on 3790 entered the logon details for the account i created in the webgui. armitage attempted to connect and then.......nothing....box closed... no errors...nothing. i really haven't got a clue beyond this.... any ideas?

Just build them up as a couple of linux boxes or as honeypots.

As far as i know, the lan tap kit isn't produced by the hak5 guys, so it's up to the manufacturer as to what they put on it.

Just bought a TL-WR703N off ebay for $25au from hong kong. Can't wait until it gets here. Oh and the guy above mention minipwner... http://www.minipwner.com/index.php/what-is-the-minipwner

That is until you start bringing BYO (Bring Your Own) devices into the mix. Companies want to enjoy the benefits of reduced costs by having their employees use their own phones for example. They maybe subsidizing their data plan, but that shouldn't give them the right to snoop all their employees data. If the company is supplying your hardware and your software and your pipe, well yeah they do have more rights.

Metasploit may be a little advanced now...but don't give up on it dude...thats how you learn. I haven't got a fuckin clue half the time but that doesn't stop me from trying stuff. :)

We use Manage Engine at work...local government about 1500 users... http://www.manageengine.com/

Here's one that I always like to throw into the mix. I found this one to be an awesome and quirky indie type hacker based film made right here in Australia. Seriously, spend some time and give this one a look. It comes across at a little amateurish, but honestly one of the better "fictional" movies I've seen on hacking scenarios. here's the link... http://www.insecuritymovie.com/

So how do we legally jam/disable/shoot these things down? :)

sandboxie is the way to go.

thanks for the response, i decided to keep the ibm on 2003 server and keep using my core2duo for vm via promox. ive been thinking about saving for a hp microserver. they come with the proliant server support warranty which is pretty much an "enterprise" warranty in which they actually come to your house to replace any faulty parts for you!!!

Quick question, i have an old IBM xseries 226 server with dual xeon cpu's. Unfortunately when i went to install 2008 r2 it failed, giving a mismatched cpu error. Seems as though the cpu's revision do not match. So i've been running 2003 server since...no problem with this. I have been thinking of migrating physical to virtual and using vmware esxi hypervisor which requires a 64bit environment. The xeon's support x64. What I wanted to know is whether the same cpu mismatch issues would occur if I install esxi. I just want to save some time and effort; if it won't work I'm not that worried. Anyone out there know at all?

Mi5?...pffft everyone knows MI6 is where its at ;)

And to you too Snubs !!!
