very interesting course ( FREE ) : )

This free information security training is brought to you in a community effort to promote awareness and raise funds for underprivileged children in East Africa. Through a heart-warming effort by several security professionals, we are proud to present the most complete and in-depth open course about the Metasploit Framework.

Matriux .

The Matriux is a phenomenon that was waiting to happen. It is a fully featured security distribution consisting of a bunch of powerful, open source and free tools that can be used for various purposes including, but not limited to, penetration testing, ethical hacking, system and network administration, cyber forensics investigations, security testing, vulnerability analysis, and much more. It is a distribution designed for security enthusiasts and professionals, although it can be used normally as your default desktop system.

Enjoy

has anyone of you tried one of the many linux firewall distros - if so please share your experience here ..

IPCOP / SmoothWall /

ps: I know one of the l33t h4x0r5 fr0m pl4n3t m4r5 would argue about using ip tables plain and simple better than getting a bloated firewall many unwanted features. but we're looking at it from an overall prospective (all features in mind)

Thank You!

I'm thinking of having in the next meet-up a challenge between 2 memebers of the group.

Each member will try to hack other member's laptop and of course each one should protect his.

The challenge will be between xaitax & AdmiralA. Do you both dare to accept this?

There is a poll for people who want this to happen or no

Cheers,
Zak

Access to Demonoid is members only, so if you want an invitation code, just post here and I'll PM you an invitation code

It's great to see someone knowledgeable and articulate explaining their research.  If you're sitting on educational links and stories like that, I'd love to see them.

About the Article
You've probably heard a lot of talk about Metasploit over the years: About how it can speed up the results of
exploitation. It is a great tool for Penetration testers. It makes their job of exploitation and post-exploitation a lot
easier, and a lot faster. However, coverage on how to use Metasploit is not always readily available. There are
a few lesser known features of Metasploit which I would like to show you. The aim of this article is to teach you
what the Metasploit project is, the basics of how to use it, and an example of a lesser known feature: how to use
Metasploit to tunnel from inside a corporate network when an external firewall is impenetrable, and then how to
exploit the internal network from there. Curious? Read on

I especially thought on you Zak regarding the wireshark article, because I remember the discussion how interested you are in sniffing.

Wanna share with you some videos on how pen-testing is done.

Part one: http://www.ethicalhacker.net/content/view/227/24/

Part two: http://www.ethicalhacker.net/content/view/238/24/

Hopefully one of the members will give us a session on how this is done and how we can learn more about it.

Damn, it's 3:45am ... I better go get some sleep!!!
