HDStayAwake

After being frustrated by sleeping HDDs attached to various devices in my home, and after struggling to find a simple and easy to use application to keep aforementioned HDDs awake, I wrote my own. It’s simple, intuitive, intelligent and elegant.

Fantastic theme music to the most disturbing zombie-game-trailer I have ever seen, enjoy.

What is APT? No. Who is APT? And introducing Infophagy.

APT

Recently there has been a flurry of compromises bubbling up to the front-page of newspapers and magazines, and it seems the common thread is “APT”. APT stands for Advanced Persistent Threat, and it has been horribly over applied in numerous periodicals over the past several months; even going so far as to use the term in defining a specific virus.  As we walk through what APT really should be communicating, you’ll have a better understanding why these uses are absurd at best, and poor scholarship at worst.

So, I cannot get this song out of my head.  My son now walks around singing “we be hackin dem all dup, we be hackin dem all dup”… which i think is more adorable than my wife does. :0)

I’ve listened to this song on repeat while Metasploiting, and I firmly believe that this should be distributed with BackTrack CDs as an alternative to that mushroom band for hacking music; let me know if you agree…

RSA Hacked – Yubico stands

Click Here to Integrate YUBIKEYS for your company!

As Many people are likely now aware, RSA was compromised by an APT (Advanced Persistent Threat); which spurned the company to warn it’s clients that their current multifactor authentication tokens/fobs/dongles may be compromised.

This should cause us all a lot of pause… this isn’t an AV company getting hacked and having their (pretty much already useless product) replaced with a virus filled impostor… this is serious! I don’t want to even begin to imagine the millions of dollars secured by the utilization of RSA digital tokens.

But one thing is clear… I feel all the more justified in my continual championing of Yubikey! http://yubico.com There is no ‘secret’ to this digest based OTP solution for multifactor authentication. The implementation is not dependent (at least it doesn’t have to be) on any third party… in fact it’s truly and completely under the implementers control, muahahahahhh!! And it will remain as secure as the implementation makes it.

It beautifully removes that ‘big company over there’ who “also” happens to be a risk factor… no more! Go with Yubikeys! And if you need help, advice, have questions, or want an entire implementation planned and run for you, contact me! http://comp.romiser.com/capabilities.sec?d=yubi
