Android app locks
So the other day I did a quick review of Pentest tools android application and that made me think of another app (more like concepts) that I like – App lockers. As there are several to choose from I didn’t want to review/endorse any one, instead I wanted to quickly talk about why I like […]
Pen-test tools
While playing around with my newly built pwnpad, I started looking at various android tools to augment the pwnpad tool set. Frustrated with all the crappy tools that were labeled “security” or “hacking” I about gave up on my search until I found Pen-test tools. Now before you go out thinking I pointed you in […]
Pwnies on order – they’re here!

I suggest anyone interested in security […]
Kali Linux (BT6)
With the release of the new Kali linux (the revamped Backtrack – much more than BT6 but I have others call it that), I wanted to put out a mind map of the tools on the distro so you can get used to where everything is. I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. http://tinyurl.com/chz6u8c […]
RSA Final keynote
Well I must say I learned a lot about trying to blog the live from a conference and have a much higher respect for those that do this day to day. I liked it but was unprepared wireless was crappy, going through the phone drained it (did have it chained to laptop and that worked […]
RSA software defined data center is turning security on its head
Software defined data center =sddc Software defined security = sds Ssdc abstract the hardware and do everything from within software. The compute storage and network have to be extended across multiple boundaries. Security expands all three. Adding the components on the right (ie security) extends the virtualization time from minutes to days – so how […]
