After reading Cory’s post about Rooted Android device + Accounts.db = passwords stored in clear text, it got me thinking. What else could I find. There are multiple databases in the Android OS, ranging from chat history to password storage. Lets see what they give up.

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!
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.

My wife decided she wanted a neat addition to our sons room that we were re-doing. Enter: Barn Door in lieu of a standard door. AWESOME. Now, I need to build it.

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.

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.
