Where have I gone???

February 9th, 2010

I know I’ve been a bit quite lately and I figured I owe you all an explanation…

But you’re not going to get one… well not a full one anyway.

I have had some pretty dramatic changes happening this year thus far. These are causing a re-evaluation to what I do and what has become my primary focus. There will be some big announcements this year, but I can’t give you anything just yet.

So I’m still here and I haven’t forgotten about you. I am just busier than ever trying to organize some stuff that I hope you will like :)

In protest of the Australian governments plans to impose internet censorship, I will be taking part in the Great Australian Internet Blackout.

This site will be blacked out between now and the 29th of January 2010.

If you would also like to support the cause, visit www.internetblackout.com.au to find out how to black out your site.

Web App Hacking – SANS Sydney 2009

October 29th, 2009

Well my payment is in and I have now officially been confirmed as the facilitator for the “Web App Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking” (what a mouthful) course at this years SANS Sydney event. This year it’s being taught by Johannes Ullrich who is an amazingly knowledgable man in this area and it is the first time it has been run as a 6 day course in Australia so I am really looking forward to it.

There is another interesting track being run in Australia for the first time. “Advanced Security Essentials – Enterprise Defender” being taught by Eric Cole is the next step up from the GSEC (Security Essentials) course. It looks really interesting, and being taught by Eric Cole is sure to be fun.

Kick off is in less than two weeks (9th – 14th Nov) so if you haven’t already booked you’d better hurry.

For those that are going, i’ll see you there!

Where’s the time go???

August 15th, 2009

First post on my new self titled blog and it may be quite some time before the next…

I knew I was going to be under the pump when I signed up to do my CISSP and the Offensive Security OSCP both within a three month period. What I didn’t know was how much of my time and effort was going to be involved in completing both.

Sitting here trying to unwind from a three hour amateur coding spree while pondering the past, present and future it really sunk in that I have been studying for three weeks already. Time flies when you’re having fun right? My achievements for the past three weeks include completing 2 of the 10 CISSP domains and 3 of 16 OSCP modules. While I am quite happy with what I have achieved as I have been working my butt off, I have only completing three modules in almost three weeks with another 13 to complete in 5. My uber math skillz tell me that at this current pace I might run overtime… It’s my lack of coding experience is to blame. Code that should have taken me 10 mins has been talking me sometimes an hour or more. Many nights have been spent doing nothing but coding. The beauty of it is I have wanted to dedicate a lot more time to my coding, and now I have no choice. While I don’t believe I am anything close to being a good coder, I am strangely enough starting to see signs of real code shining through and even a touch of real functionality :D .

The next two modules look quite easy. I think I will be able to knock them both over tomorrow. This will get me back on track. Now I just have to find time to read another CISSP domain :D .
