Not so recently MUBIX threw together the beginnings of a nice script for tagging compromised devices by changing their wallpaper. I’ve always been very fond of leaving virtual spraypaint, so I took a looksy and polished it up a tiny bit; It still has some more growing up to do, but it’s atleast easier to use… and I think further down the road that MUBIX was on.
Penetrate the organization during a specific time, while a security team, that has been duly informed of your attacks, is watching like a hawk, and has an overwhelming desire to block IPs (false sense of security). So as your exploits are successful, and your payloads are delivered, the security team is drooling over the IDS and blocking your reverse TCP IP and ports faster than stink on… well, something very stinky.
Well, it’s here… BackTrack4! All pretty and packaged up, I have already burnt 2 copies (One for use the other for archive), and knowing that other security geeks will be doing the same I put together a BackTrack4 LightScribe Template (BackTrack4 Label), all pretty and packaged up.
Make sure you have the darkest settings on, in your LightScribe Labeler.

Symmetric ciphers use the same key for encryption and decryption, which creates a default insecurity due to Alice and Bob sharing the key knowledge. Technically, the true measure of security within a symmetrical cipher is to measure the security of the means by which the key is shared. Compromised keys can result in an incredibly easy decryption and potentially further security issues. As an alternative, asymmetric cryptography utilizes two (mandatory) different keys, in an attempt to eliminate the key sharing insecurities. These asymmetrical ciphers are found most commonly in Public Key Cryptography.
