The solution for the Defcon CTF b300 in cartoon form Posted: 13 Jul 2009 12:02 PM PDT Very interesting manga-style description of solving a CTF / crackme / RE challenge. The spacing of ideas is also very important when communicating, so this might just be the right form for some people. Besides, it has many…

Advertising (double and a half) fail
I get the following email in my inbox: Knowing that they have some interesting people (and webcasts), I bite. So where should I click? On the subscribe button of course!

The fox in the henhouse?
Some time back I ranted about ParetoLogic which was used to be known as the makers of a rogue security product (XoftSpy). Today I can rant once again about them: They’ve published a blogpost insinuating that Firefox 3.5 has a remote code execution vulnerability. I’ve tried to inquire if they notified Mozilla about the issue,…

An other thing I’ve liked is that they offer a free version with no restrictions, other than the number of blogs limited to…

Jango review
Update: I no longer use Jango because of the amount of advertising and feature crippling. I rather use Grooveshark. You should give it a try if you like to listen to streaming music. Disclaimer: I have no relation with the company, its owners or employees, other than being a user of their site. I receive…

Nokia not displaying the callers phone number
I found out from a friend recently that all the Nokia phones (from the very basic ones up to the N series) have the following weird behavior: If you have a phone number multiple times in your address book (this means the phone memory + the SIM), the phone number is displayed instead of the…
