Thanks for doing this. I thought about doing one myself but I don’t have the time anymore.

For me it was WarGames.

Ditto

Check out airmon-ng. Then run wireshark on mon0.

I look forward to seeing this film. I watch a lot of movies and it’s good to see a film like this being made.

The waiting is the second hardest part, with the exam being the first. I somehow missed my results (I actually think they got lost in the mail) and had to contact them. If for some reason, you don’t pass, don’t beat yourself up too bad. The test, as you know is brutal. There’s no other word for it. There were many when I took mine who were on…[Read more]

I’ve got an asus eee pc 1005 ha netbook that runs backtrack just fine. Search google for linux compatible laptops. There’s a site out there that lists laptops known to work with different flavors of linux.

In your study of the legitimate wireless traffic, was it using dhcp? If he’s trying to lock you out, it’s possible that he’s using dhcp and is only allowing a dhcp range of one address. The packet capture should give you a clear idea of why you can’t connect.

I agree with Dragon. You need to study the legitimate traffic to see what works. Capture the traffic. Packets don’t lie.

Thank you Vivek for another great series!

I was thinking of getting the Linux+ as a primer to the RHCSA/RHCE since I don’t actually work with linux professionally. There are a lot of Network Engineer jobs in my area that want Unix/Linux knowledge. After CCNP:S in a couple of months I might pick up Linux+/LPIC-1 for fun along with CWNA/CWSP (which not very many people have…

How about?

Hacking Wired And Wireless Keyboards Using Electromagnetic Emanations

or just about anything at http://www.willhackforsushi.com/

I would start with learning all you can from the megaprimer videos on securitytube.net. Click on the “Groups” tab to see all the megaprimers.

Sorry to hear about this. BUT don’t sweat it. It sounds like you learned a lot and that is the most important thing there is.

OK here’s the deal. Residents plugging in a LAN port on their wireless router into the internet wall jack (supplied by the complex) used to be the bane of my existence in my former job. I used to hunt them down daily.

You first need to know what the correct address scheme is for the internet provided by the complex. Frequently they will use…[Read more]

Laura’s course is NOT a security course. It covers the same material as in the book she wrote. It just makes it easier because you are following along in the traces she demonstrates. It is not a substitute for a GCIA or OSCP or any other security course. As I said that’s comparing apples and oranges. What you will learn is how to dissect packets…[Read more]

Hi Don,
I’d like to hear the recording but the signup page takes you to a “The webinar is over” page….no place to sign up. Please post a link to it when it becomes available please.

I’m sooo busy with my new job that I can’t access EH as often as I used to. Also, the information and advice this site has given me was instrumental in me getting…[Read more]

I think I’d point out that if they don’t allow you to use linux then they need to come up with some big bucks for the windows pentesting apps. Otherwise you can’t do your job properly.

I’ve taken the course and for me, it was worth every penny. My wireshark knowledge was pretty good before taking the course but after I took the course, I’d say it increased exponentially. In fact, the certification was probably why I got my new job. I’m doing a lot of troubleshooting log files and quite often, we’ll have to look at an actual…[Read more]

Starting with the obvious:

• Use a live cd such as backtrack on a usb stick
• Change your MAC address
• Use someone’s unsecured wireless router away from your house and preferably state (illegal)
• Use regular security precautions- http://thc.org/papers/COVER-1.TXT
• Use a VPN like vpntunnel.se that has been paid for with an untraceable money order under a…

You’ll also find that “youthful indiscretions” hinder being hired in a lot of security positions.
