Bookmarks for August 12th through September 3rd
These are my links for August 12th through September 3rd:
- System Advancements at the Monastery » Blog Archive » Learning By Doing: Challenges, Data Sets, and Practice Sites – Security training is very important for any organization. When developing a training program, do not forget about the security staff. I am all for sending people to SANS and other company’s security courses. Once your people come back, how will they practice what they have learned? Hopefully, everyday at work does not involve tracking inventive hackers through your network. Hands-on security is the best way to develop skills and stay sharp. This is where security challenges, practice sites, and examining attack data can be fun and of great benefit. It all provides an opportunity to test one’s knowledge along with the security tools used for discovering vulnerabilities and defending your organization.
- Network Pentest Lab « Security Aegis – We used an existing set of hack challenge ISO’s, sandbox VM’s, vulnerable software, and vulnerable OS’s to create a 6 target lab that can be expanded upon.
- Pentest Labs: Web Application Edition « Security Aegis – Over the last week, we busted out our red plastic shovel and our bucket shaped like a castle to dig a little bit deeper into our sandbox. Recently, we addressed the flexibility and overall necessity of a virtual lab for network pentesting, practice, and testing.
- Dump Windows Event Logs To CSV Text Files (VBScript) – This DumpEventLog.vbs script hopefully is better or at least sucks less, it’s features are:
Writes output to well-formed CSV text file (one line per log entry, crazy Microsoft formatting cleaned out). - Step-By-Step: Turning a Windows 7 DVD or ISO into a Bootable VHD Virtual Machine –
- How To Disable USB Ports To Prevent Malware Infection – There are plenty of ways to disable usb ports and you don’t need any special software.
- http://www.stoned-vienna.com/ – Stoned Bootkit is a new Windows bootkit which attacks all Windows versions from XP up to 7. It is loaded before Windows starts and is memory resident up to the Windows kernel. Thus Stoned gains access to the entire system. It has exciting features like integrated file system drivers, automatic Windows pwning, plugins, boot applications and much much more. The project is partly published as open source under the European Union Public License. Like in 1987, "Your PC is now Stoned! ..again".
- Run Internet Explorer 6 (or IE7, or IE8) images in VMware Fusion on Mac OS X – Ryan Parman – Because of that, we need to go the long way. We’ll download the “officially sanctioned” VirtualPC images containing a time-limited version of Windows XP SP3 and Internet Explorer 6.0, and then we’ll convert these images to the kind that work with VMware Fusion (which works on Mac OS X). This should only need to be done every 3 or 4 months when the images expire.
- WordPress to Syslog – WPsyslog2 is a global log plugin for WordPress. It keeps track of all system events and log them to syslog. It tracks events such as new posts, new profiles, new users, failed logins, logins, logouts, etc.
- InfoSec Zen » USB Keys & Metasploit for fun and profit – This article describes a combination of techniques to achieve a USB key that operates silently & remotely so that key recovery is not required to know who inserted the key or to gather data from their system
