I was given a
Teenage Engineering PO-14
for Christmas and took it with me
to congress for entertainment on the way. The pocket operator has a load of
functions hidden behind very few buttons, I had a lot of fun playing with it on
the flight. I am still to really figure out everything this board can do.
Watching some OP-1 videos (their much bigger synth) TE manage to pack a ton of
functionality into hardly any keys.

Thought we had hit all of the peaks on
Bennachie
, but looking at stuff
later it seems there are about 7 'summits' to hit. That's annoying, living in
Aberdeen I have done the
Mither Tap
walk loads of times. Today was my
first time taking the trek over to Oxencraig.
That was most of today, I poked some wireless driver stuff, but it is all
initial steps.

It is Friday the 13th, wooooo spooky!!!!
Rudy_Giuliani
was nominated Cyber Tzar or something yesterday, the hacker
community suddenly became very interested in this credentials. This morning
twitter was filled with the results of int gathering exercises.
The domain now points to localhost, someone clearly got a late night phone
call. It is strange that only now is noise being made about this, Ruddy isn't
exactly a popular figure in America. He made a lot of mistakes in high profile
positions. The big scary guys in the Int agencies will have pursued all these
leads a long time ago.
Of course, that is assuming the site wasn't a honeypot.

I
use
Wireshark
quite
all the time. I was lucky to get a copy
of
Hacking: The Art of Exploitation
when I was a teenager, the book gave
me an excellent introduction to using
tcpdump
to perform network analysis.
tcpdump
is the first tool I reach for when I wonder where the packets are
going, but for anything higher level (breaking down http, checking wlan flags)
I use
wireshark
, I am always impressed.
At 33c3 there was a
wireshark
introductory self organised session run by
kirils
. I did not go to this session, but the
slides I found
look to
be an excellent introduction to using
wireshark
.
