Ok, it’s settled.  We should all become moderators! 🙂  We are obviously all dedicated to this board because we are posting on Saturday morning. 🙂

Wasn’t there another thread about privilege escalation? 🙂

Sorry Unsupported, but I started laughing hard when I saw this one. If I had been drinking, it would have to clean my l…[Read more]

Or a disclaimer when you sign up that we are information security professionals and if you want your girlfriends Myspace hacked, you will be ridiculed?

Maybe their should be some text displayed that clearly states that we don’t help to hack stuff.

I am sure that such a note within the disclaimer showed at…[Read more]

I’ve narrowed it down to the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2915ABG or Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG, but I wanted to know some real world suggestions.

Thanks!

While I haven’t used those Intel® PRO/Wireless wireless cards, I do have an Intel® PRO/Wireless 3945 in my laptop (built in), and it works pretty good. I’ve had some diver iss…[Read more]

A lot of time I choose open source just because of my budget (free). 🙂

Yeah… One of my reasons for reading the books, is to gain new skills. I’m doing it on my own time, but I don’t have the money to go out and buy all the tools he’s talking about being the really great ones in the book.

Are you planning on robbing a bank?

No seriously, what exactly are you refering to?   Computer security?  Physical security?

With more information we can give you a clear answer.

amen…

I think for a lot of us, that’s the case, unless we really have a big contracted job coming up, etc.  But I generally use free tools where I can, again, if time and opportunity allow.

Windows XP is far from better, especially since it is being EOLed.  

In FULL agreement, unsupported.  I agreed XP was faster, not better, and even then, clarified on hardware with resources available.  I’d heard that disabling the Aero Glass helped a lot, but haven’t tried it.  Just like any GUI OS, the more you can (or are…[Read more]

I picture future wars to be like the episode in ST:OS, where the civilization wages war with each other on a computer and then the “causalities” are loaded into an incinerator, single file.

LOL…  It’d be nice if war were that simple, even when waged on computers…  But yes, I’d agree with you both, that in the end, the t…[Read more]

“OMG!  The real hackers are going to take advantage of this and p0wn us!”. 🙂

L-O-L!!!  ’nuff said!  I’m in full agreement, as it’s definitely nicer to come discuss with folks who understand the reality of it, rather than just the hype and ‘fantastic’-ness of it all.

If your buddies are involved, definitely keep us posted on…[Read more]

… You could also just run tcpdump if you want to see all packets (snort can do this too).

That’s like a needle in a haystack.  I’d also recommend Wireshark for a more user friendly and protocol aware application.

I completely agree with you, was going to add if you can read really fast use tcpdump lol.…[Read more]

Good luck!!!  Break a leg.. something like that.

Also, sorry about the active scanning comment.  I know you know better.  I did not realize it was you in the original post.  At first glance, I thought you were a newb. 😉

Haha! It’s all good, I still think I’m a newb ;D

Thanks guys, will post an update when I have one.

Thank you guys for responding back.

@unsupported, the hashes are from a lab machines that are not facing the internet, but I agree with you and thanks for the tip. I know that a password that is 15 character long will not be stored as LM hash. I used one in addition to setting NoLMHash, but it puzzled me when using metasploit hashdump I get both…[Read more]

However, in a penetration test, I would not really see a reason to perform these steps.  If you are doing an authorized penetration test you would want to leave the traces to show how to identify and clean-up.  If you are in a situation where you are testing an incident response teams effectiveness, then why bother hiding y…

Did you meet David Duchovny?

I did… and not just on camera. Nice guy. Actually, everyone on the show was quite enjoyable to be around. Nobody was phony… far from it.

Sounds like you’ve got everything in place, don’t forget us little people when you’re at the top 😉

Good luck with the exam next week.

Ok, now that this is all settled, welcome to EH-Net.  Sorry if I was sounding too harsh.  I was just trying to prove a few points.  It is nice to see the spark of security minded computer people.  You are more than welcome to stick around, learn a few things, and ask as many questions as you want.

I know I did not want you goi…
