Book Review:No Tech Hacking by Johnny Long

No Tech Hacking: A Guide to Social Engineering, Dumpster Diving, and Shoulder Surfing

Read in a bookstore yesterday...

The book is an expansion of the DefCon video found on YouTube-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CWrzVJYLWw

It is pretty good book, but probably not for buying. If you see the video, you get the general idea.

The book is probably better to scare IT managers and users with. The book goes into to good detail about physical security penetration. I liked how Johnny was able to grab great amounts of information about security from merely observing badges and parking stickers.

Worth a look.

CSI Stick off of Ebay for $75.

The other day, I got a CSI stick off of Ebay for $75. It seems to work fine, but I am waiting for the software from Paraben.

The Wiebetech Ultraduck.


This is another reason why Wiebetech is such a great company, none of the other forensics guys seem to have a sense of humor. They sent me an email to tell me about it.

Quack, quack, etc.

CyberSpeak March 22, 2009

Fun podcast from Bret and Ovie. They talked with Rob Lee from(Mandiant) and the SANS Forensics Summit.

Another expensive course I would like to take, but just too much money.
