The UK Cyber Security Challenge website is behind schedule this year due to the fact that the designers built a nice looking site that was 'about as secure as a wet paper bag' and thats a direct quote from one of the challenge organisers.

They now have two 'security' teams working on the site, one trying to secure it and one trying to break it!

Tried to do something similar to this a few years ago at one of my previous workplaces.

If I remember rightly we VLAN'd into the smallest lans we could get away with and rolled out the policies per VLAN giving it a week or so of monitoring between each rollout to see if anything fell over.

We got 4 VLANS swapped over and were running about 500 (out of 2500) machines and 8 (out of 20) of the servers before we had a major issue with the network (totally un-related) that stopped the change over dead in it's tracks. 

Never did get to finish that as a new contract kicked in shortly after and all the workstations and network got ripped out and replaced from scratch.

Thats not the sort of thing they should be saying really as it throws down the gauntlet - Skype issue on the Mac

Not having an i-phone myself (am an android man) I'd ask what security/av software is available for the i-phone?
I know a few of the mainstream AV houses have produced stuff for android and the stuff on my phone has picked up one rogue app so far. 

Why is everything i'd like to do this summer happening in the SAME DAMM WEEK!!

Your not working  for (or for a subsiduary of) sony are you?

Have disabled it.  Better not have it in BT5

I'm greedy and I have BT4 as a dual boot (with ubuntu) on the laptop and the main OS on my 'other' PC (lower spec non gaming one).  'Other' PC still has enough guts to allow me to run two VM's at a time as targets.

They are still handing out BT3 iso's with the WiFu course!

Just downloaded the course software from their site!  Guess what i'm doing most of this bank holiday weekend 

I had a similar problem with another app and ended up sticking a 2nd network card in and buying VM Workstation so I could tie the VM's down to a specific card

Your timing is awsome as i'm on the last few chapters of the 'hacking exposed - wireless' book and am looking at signing up for the backtrack WiFu course later this week.

lorddicranius, i've got an android phone (samsung galaxy) and theres an opt in/opt out for them collecting anonymous data on certain apps.  Doesn't mean they're not collecting stuff in the back ground but they do bring up messages on the screen when you use certain apps

To all the UK based members, it was a very good day. 

The good news is they are planning another one for later this year, date tbc but probably around sept/oct time. T

hey are looking at branching out and holding one somewhere else in the country (up north like) as well as the london venue

Know what you mean with that.  After umpteen years doing servers, running manic workshops supporting a lot of users and pc's and basically being able to get stuck into the hardware/ builds etc, i'm stuck doing info managment at the moment and it's driving me scatty.
Working on a crap project thats going to hand over the control of our hardware/ software to an outside company and basically end up managing user accounts/ setting permissions on data.
It's only the private pc repairs, my lab rig and a bit of online gaming that's keeping me sane atm
