September is less than 30 days away and already shaping up to be one of the most exciting months from an InfoSec perspective that I’ve have signed up to participate in. This industry (artform) has been nothing short of amazing to be involved with. Sitting in a cube and reading about most of these things, vs going out and getting involved should be a huge learning opportunity. If you are within driving distance of Kansas City and are remotely interesting in information security , consider coming to these events!
I love google voice. LOVE. Like most people, I have two cell phones. A work phone and a personal device. I also use google voice to direct all carrier voicemails to my personal phone. This morning, I must have pocket dialed from my work to my personal phone. Why was that my last number dialed? Who knows… maybe I lost my phone and tried to call it to find it. By the time I get into the office, I had a nice little gift in my google voice inbox. Enjoy transcription below. Original audio embedded as well. Just remember, You have no chance to survive make your time.
If you are anything like me, you have invested a lot of Social Engineering man hours, dumpster diving, and the plenty of blood, sweat and tears in building your hacking lab into something worthy of being referenced as such. Wouldn’t it be nice to package up all that effort and take that hacking on the road with you? This article is not only going to give you some ideas on what you can put in such a lab, but I will show you how to take Windows host machines with all of those VM’s living in them and put them into something portable.
I will try to keep this to the point and simply split it up into two sections. Section 1 will cover what types of things you can include in such a lab. Section 2 will cover converting it all into one portable file and using that within VirtualBox.

We live in a regular neighborhood in Anytown, USA and that neighborhood had many wonderful things that make it a wonderful place to live. This includes very neighborly neighbors that are just trying to help.
Beginning Less than a year ago,
In an attempt to a productive member of a technology community, I shifted all my focus from being a complacent Sys Admin to an area I have always been an outsider looking in on. Information Security. I am no stranger to technology, and have had a strong passion for anything related to it for as long as I can remember. I just lacked focus…
LadyAda sells a pretty neat kit to allow you to give your USB gadgets power from 2 AA batteries. To create the “Boost” (save for batteries) The capacitors, IC Socket, schottky diode, etc.. took roughly 10 minutes to solder onto the PCB using these instructions, and another 15 minutes and 2 Altoids gum tins to give it the “Minty” part. Note: I spent the better part of 2 days locating these gum tins in the midwest. Eventually I found them at CVS of all places.
Recently I decided to give a talk to my office titled “Security Awareness”. I wrote it maybe 3 months ago, in a ‘stream of conscious’ style. After review, I realized it may not only need fact checking, but input from the community. I have yet to deliver it and need some help.
Our son wanted to be an Imagination Mover for Halloween. He actually wanted to be all of them, but we chose “Mover Scott“. To re-create mover Scott, we need his famous “Wobble Goggles”. They are $20 from Disney, AND they don’t have lights and music. Crazy talk. I decided to make my own. Additionally, we needed a costume. Finding a “decent” one was tough. So my wife decided to make her own.
Howdy FaceBook, I’m back.
I recently re-established my Facebook page to reconnect with friends and stay in contact with family. I didn’t have the account open for 2 weeks when I constantly saw posts about “Hackers will break into your account” or ” A hacker named Christopher Rosenqueist ate my Monitor”, and other nonsensical items that seemed to be scaring people into commenting or sharing it.
A neighbor gave us a Harley Cruiser power wheels. The only thing wrong with it? Battery fail. Well, technically that was the only thing wrong with it. In my opinion it was missing a few things. Time to mod this hog.
