SensePost’s Training @ Black Hat Vegas ’10 (win something)
After hearing our talk was accepted at BlackHat, we’re happy to announce that our training will be back for it’s 9th straight run. Speaking of a run, we’re going to be hosting the usual marathon of courses: cadet, bootcamp, combat, web 2.0. But, while the names remain, we’ve spent some time updating the material. In particular, bootcamp, combat & web 2.0 have been through the ringer. We’re hoping to get some detailed info on the updates out in the coming weeks.
ITWeb Security Summit 2010 & Afterparty
The ITWeb security summit is coming up next week from the 11th to 13th of May. This is a conference we’re quite excited about, and have been involved in for the last few years, but most recently, we’ve been able to further our involvement beyond just speaking.
For years I jealously watched as SensePost’ers would trundle all over the world shaking hands and drinking beer with the leet haxors of the world. Then a few years ago, the ITWeb Security Summit brought over Kevin Mitnick. I remember sitting in the audience awe’d not so much by what was said (sorry Kevin, I’m sure it was interesting) but at the fact a real celebrity hacker was meters from me. I still keep his lock-pick business card as a memento. Since then, the summit has gotten bigger and better. ITWeb previously brought out people like Bruce Schneier (who I think thought I was a stalker), David Litchfield, Johnny Long (he’s African now), Johny Cache, Richard Stiennon, Roberto Preatoni and Phil Zimmerman (he video conf’ed in from his hospital bed after emergency heart surgery).
Password Strength Checker & Generator
In my previous role working as a security manager for a large retailer, I developed some password tools for various purposes, primarily to help non-security people with some of the basics. I licensed them under the GPL, and I think it’s about time they saw the light of day.
There are a couple of tools, which I will explain below. They’re all written in JavaScript, primarily because it is cross-platform, but can be centrally hosted. They all work in Firefox and Internet Explorer, although the automatic copy to clipboard functionality of the service desk tool is IE only.
