Penetration Testing with Kali Linux will be available for purchase starting on 05 January, 2014. Offensive Security students and alumni will be receiving an email from us within the next week with information regarding discounted upgrades.

I wonder how much the upgrade will be for those who already have PWB version 3.

Also, I initially purchased…[Read more]

Don, what have you done to me?
I am hooked now…

I just started working on the challenge and now I am late for an appointment!!!
Arghhhhh!!!
🙂

Thanks Dynamic, I kind of needed someone to tell me that!
I will book my exam today… ;D

I totally agree with impelse. $999 for an exam + about $50 for shipping your certificate, that’s really expensive.

Also, it’s an extra $400 every 4 years. But I guess that’s more or less the same as paying $100 per year to keep my CISSP… :-

In average, it costs me about $500/year just to keep my certifications… 😛 But, they really opened…[Read more]

Thanks Ziggy,

That’s basicaly the only reason I found for renewing it. I am not sure I am ready to spend several thousands dollars to get GCIH, etc to finally get to GSE… :-

You what, I have a question related to this topic.

Should I “renew” my GSEC certification, given all the other ones I have (see in my signature)? It’s more of an intro cert…

I am paying from my own pocket… :-

Congrats!!

Hmm, yeah maybe it’s just me…

IS it possible to find out how many people attended? The only thing I could find was on wikipedia: “In 2010, over 10,000 people attended DEF CON 18”. Not really precise…

I wonder how many people showed up to DC21…

Another great book is “Hacking Electronics: An Illustrated DIY Guide for Makers and Hobbyists” by Simon Monk. http://www.amazon.com/Hacking-Electronics-Illustrated-Makers-Hobbyists/dp/0071802363/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376915568&sr=8-1&keywords=hacking+electronics

This books really slowly takes you to a good level in electronics by explaining…[Read more]

Is it me or there was less people attending Defcon this year?

Maybe it was better organized or something, but it really felt like it wasn’t that crowdy…

Maybe Defcon is slowly going down?!?

The BeagleBone Black is too powerful for what I am doing!!

But it’s crazy to see what we can get now for $45.
I will stick with my Arduino Uno for now, but I will definitively get this one later this fall.

Thanks Don! 😉

Good job! ;D

Are you sure about that caissyd?

Maybe I wasn’t clear, but my whole post was about the fact that “hacking” means a lot of different things…

Let me use another example: Writting expoits in assembly is not the same as cracking a WEP key.

You can end up linking the two together, for example you break the WEP key, you get…[Read more]

Hi d3v0t3d and welcomed to the forum!

First of all, you’re at the right place. There is an enormous amout of material to learn and like superkojiman said, it takes a lot of time to get good at this. Think in years, with a big fat “S”.

But what got you interested in hacking? It’s a huge and really diverse. hacking your way on an internal network…[Read more]

Again, thanks everyone!! ;D

Thank you very, very Don for this opportunity!!! ;D

I used the cccure questions and the Shon Harris practice test book. Both were okay for testing myself on facts and definitions, but they were not very much like the real exam.

I totally agree.

In addition, I used practice questions from another book (can’t remember the book’s name) and I also bought the “official” practice…[Read more]

make sure you stop by the “Be the Match” booth in the contest area and say “hi”… and perhaps sign up for the National Bone Marrow Donor registry (which just requires filling out a form and swabbing the inside of your cheek).
