Multiple Uses for WinPcap

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

In a search to find an automated tool that will build network topologies from saved packet capture, I ran across this web site that is a partial list of the many uses of the neighborhood friendly WinPcap.

I am still on my search for a way to automate a topology build from a packet capture (Windows or Linux). If you have any ideas, please post your comments.

Linkedin Will Allow Group Discussion Forums

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

To revisit an post that I posted called A Need for More Features in LinkedIn Groups which I sent an e-mail to Linkedin asking to allow for the groups to send questions to one another, it has just been announced that it has finally happened.

Dear Matthew,

First, thank you for managing your group on LinkedIn. We sincerely appreciate the time and effort you devote to your members, and we know they value it. Together you have made Groups one of the top features on LinkedIn.

This Friday, we will be adding several much-requested features to your group:

  • Discussion forums: Simple discussion spaces for you and your members. (You can turn discussions off in your management control panel if you like.)
  • Enhanced roster: Searchable list of group members.
  • Digest emails: Daily or weekly digests of new discussion topics which your members may choose to receive. (We will be turning digests on for all current group members soon, and prompting them to set to their own preference.)
  • Group home page: A private space for your members on LinkedIn.

We’re confident that these new features will spur communication, promote collaboration, and make your group more valuable to you and your members. We hope you can come by LinkedIn on Friday morning to check out the new functionality and get a group discussion going by posting a welcome message.

Sincerely,
The LinkedIn Groups Team


Great Job.

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

In an attempt to build Ultimate Penetration Testing Lab Kit (UPTLK), I have started a list of tools, Live CD, Penetration Testing Labs and websites.  After looking at it I decided that this maybe a good list for a penetration testing at any level.  I am sure that I have not covered every item or I may have missed something; if you see something I missed please add to by commenting.

Odd as it may sound but a company Edgeos has put every geeks (well a large percentage) together Nmap and womanly curves.  Check it out  the “Damsels Causing Distress” here.
