SploitCast Gets Made

SploitCast Episode 4 "New SploitCast, good stuff" reviewed by Phillip Torrone of Make Magazine.

The guest speaker was Ab3nd discussing Emulating Magnetic Cards. We saw him present this topic at Schmoocon 2006, loved it, and asked him to join us on SploitCast. He graciously accepted the invitation and we had a great time. Episode 4 focuses on the dangers of magnetic cards, the methods of emulating them, and their future. We lightly discuss the subject of RFID and related problems. Ab3nds' Schmoocon presentation and code can be found here.

Make editor Phillip Torrone also posted a review of SploitCast following Episode 1, "Good show for the security minded". The crew members of SploitCast are all huge Make Magazine and O'Reilly fans (we all have our collections of O'Reilly animals on our book shelves) so this is awesome.

GPS On A USB Flash Drive

I couldn't resist posting this, a GPS on a USB flash drive, Trackstick. The technology is awsome although I'm not sure all of its potential applications are. Imagine what, uhm uhm, a certain noisy administration could do with these, or might be already.

It might be fun for students in the classroom to track business travelers on their world wide journeys or extreme adventurers on expeditions all in real time.

The GPS records date, time, location, direction, altitude, and speed. It receives signals from 24 satellites and has a built in 1MB memory, enough to store months worth of travel data. You can use Google Earth amoung others to re-trace routes using the stored data. The perfect high-tech travel log.

I do want to emphasize that I don't condone most of the uses that Trackstick promotes for this devise on their website, which I purposely left off.

"Mac-On-A-Stick"

I thought this was interesting
and I wanted to pass it on.
It is directions to use Mac OS and
Linux from a portable

flash stick. An older 32MG
flash stick will do, imagine what you could do with 4G's. The complete instructions can be found here.
