Recently a friend rooted his Android device and asked “What should I install now?”
Here is a short list (Will clean it up, provide groupings and short descriptions later) that links to a public google docs spreadsheet. Please add your favorite applications!
I just finished a Backtrack 5 install on my Samsung Galaxy S phone. I will detail out the steps to get it running most Android phones. While this method was ONLY testing on my Galaxy S (Vibrant) but should work with other devices.
The purpose of this post (like most of mine) is to take my notes out of evernote and make them available. The goal for this post was really just a quick way to get Kismet up and running and then viewing the output quickly.
Just a quick post to serve a couple of purposes. First, a reminder to go to and submit content to securityfail.com. Secondly, check out ALL the current articles there, but mainly the post I have written about Avaya 4600 series phones and Canon iR series devices.
I purchased an Alfa AWUS036H a few months ago and it came with the “high power” (5dBi) antenna. After plugging in a booting into Backtrack 4 (r2 at time of writing). I found that by default it is only operating at 10% power.
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.
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.
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.

Here is a “BristleBot” created for my Son. This was about the easiest project of all time.
