Oh too bad, I just got an Irc client to work on my Iphone, I was geeking out, wanted a good channel  Thanks for the reply.

Ive been reading some old posts and saw this.


Just wonderin if this is still used. Ive been trying to connect, and my client "BitchX" is not connecting. Any Ideas?

I learned VB, but found it to be very very limiting, so when I hit it's limit's I stopped learning it.

Thank you for the advice, I wasnt sure what language I was going to learn first. I have an Iphone, and I have a Terminal application on it. I have started learning some basic Unix commands, and found my little Iphone can do a lot of really big stuff . 

I will take your advice and start learning C/C++ I'm pretty sure sure Iphone apps use C, or at least a version of C. So that would kill two birds with one stone for me.

My main goal is to get better at at computer security stuff, so I will try to find a VmWare image of backtrack.

Thanks again for your advice to my noobieness type questions  

I have a "Theory" so to speak. I know that Linux is one of the main "languages" hackers use, however, from my limited knowledge and understanding. Linux is UNIX based is it not? Mac OsX is also UNIX based? So I have started to learn UNIX, to improve my basic knowledge and understanding of Linux/Mac osX (I have a Mac and have some great ideas, just want to be able to put them into programming).


Do you think I'm on the right track? Or would it be a better use of my time to delve deeper in Linux and not bother with Unix?

I feel like I have a pretty good head for Networking, Computer Issue/Resolution, and some basic hacking. However, I "stand on the shoulders of giants" so to speak. In other words, I typically use others genius (such as there programs) to do most of my EH.
Any Ideas?

Good to know, and good point Thanks!

I will  . Ill be getting it in the next few days.

Did you ever get this to work? That would be awesome if you did.

I love my Mac absolutely love it. I have a sweet setup, I have Mac Os X Server, Linux Red Hat, and Windows (I know, I know, it's a sin to have windows on my apple, Dont Ye Judge least ye be Judged... or something like that), All natively installed. I use Fusion for quick switching. For my wireless security testing I use AirCrack. I have a virtual machine I use just for that. I also have AirCrack installed on my Mac Via Macports but the linux version can do much more easier.

I have used both Parallels, and Fusion, I prefer Fusion.

I use Kismac NOT Kismet, to gather information about networks and import the findings into AirCrack, and use that to test my Wireless Security.

With a few easy work arounds, in my personal opinion, Macs are the way to go... If you can afford them of course... Im still paying for mine 

I would think that it would be frowned upon to disable the chip. Does anyone know if it is illegal? Has anyone gone through Airport Security with there passport chip disabled?

Here's a couple cool ways

I was curios to  see if anyone has successfully hacked a Iron-Key. I'm ordering one, for "fun". Just want to know if my 140 dollar investment was worth it
