For Mr Strole
Greg,
This post is for you, even though I’m sure you rarely, if ever, frequent the boring mess that is my blog.
It’s pathetic compared to others, but I know that you’ll appreciate this, I average about 1:30 now. 
I probably could have done a bit better, but it was difficult placing the camera just right. (this solve is 1:44.90)
BackTrack4
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.

Public Key Cryptography
Overview
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.
New Look
As some of you may know, I like technology, so I tend to play around with it a lot. One of my favorite ‘playtime’ activities is to completely rebuild one of the many sites I administer; and rebuilding my blog is always the most fun.
You see, I usually can’t just settle for some simple blog platform. I always tend to find some far-reaching justification for needing low-level JDBC integration or some other minute feature that I never end up needing. This being the case, my blog has always been run on one flavor or another of CMS (Content Management System).
