First off, I apologize for the lack of posts here lately, I’ve been trying to come up with something good to post, because I’m just not a fan of rehashing things other blogs post, or commenting on news stories. Hopefully I’ll be able to contribute more soon Now down to the real post, NSM-Console 0.7 […]
Recently I was contacted by a publisher from Packt publishing about reviewing a couple of books, after a long time (sorry I took so long!) I’m finally finished with my review of the first book, Catalyst: Accelerating Perl Web Application Development. Note that while I was asked, I wasn’t paid for this review, this is […]
Remember way back, when I released Aimsnarf? Well, it turns out that people were interested in one for Yahoo IM, so I’m happy to present Yahsnarf, the Yahoo messenger sniffing script. You can download the script on the yahsnarf project page. Yahsnarf requires Ruby, ruby-pcap and bit-struct (Thanks Matasano for introducing me to bit-struct, made […]
For people who follow the McGrewSecurity.com blog by Wesley McGrew, you are no doubt familiar with an “internet user” by the name of Yousif Yalda. For a little background, take a read on Wesley’s post on some of the “business tactics” of Yousif. Seeing as how this is the internet, and we’re all entitled to […]
This is part 2 of a series on rebuilding TCP streams using Ruby, for more information, visit the previous post: Rebuilding TCP streams with Ruby part 1: fuzzymatch In my previous post, I talked about using fuzzy sequence/acknowledge numbers to split a network capture file into streams. Using fuzzymatch was pretty successful for cutting streams […]
I have undertaken the (not so small) task of attempting to use Ruby to rebuild TCP data streams. I was originally planning on using ruby-libnids, but after running into considerable trouble with dynamic library linking on OSX, I decided it’d be a good experiment to write my own. This is not a small feat. In […]
A friend of mine (thanks Legit) turned me on to this piece of javascript found in the midst of some PHP: <script language=”JavaScript”> var0 = “x69x3cx33x27x34x38x30x75x3bx34″; var1 = “x38x30x68x72x36x3ax20x3bx21x30″; var2 = “x27x72x75x26x27x36x68x72x3dx21″; var3 = “x21x25x6fx7ax7ax33x27x34x38x30″; var4 = “x26x21x34x21x7bx3bx30x21x7ax3c”; var5 = “x3bx31x30x2dx67x7bx25x3dx25x72″; var6 = “x75x3dx30x3cx32x3dx21x68x72x64″; var7 = “x63x72x75x22x3cx31x21x3dx68x72″; var8 = “x64x63x72x75x33x27x34x38x30x37″; var9 = “x3ax27x31x30x27x68x72x65x72x75″; var10 = […]
One of the most important traits of being a SysAdmin is laziness (well, not really laziness, but recognizing repetitive action and taking steps to automate it). In the effort to combat repetitive changing directories, I have written a tiny (< 100 lines) Ruby script to handle “zooming” to a particular directory. Firstly, download the script […]
That’s right, no development release this time around. I’ve been trying to get version 0.5 all finished for the Hex 1.0.3 release, and I’m happy to present the newest NSM-Console release! Firstly, you can download NSM-Console version 0.5 here: http://writequit.org/projects/nsm-console/files/nsm-console-0.5.tar.gz Mirror here: https://secure.redsphereglobal.com/data/dakrone/files/nsm-console-0.5.tar.gz Like always, let’s go over some of the new features in this […]
You can never have too many tools for pcap visualization Flowtime is a script written in Ruby that produces a timeline of the network flows in a pcap file. Everything is better with a picture, so here’s a picture: (warning, this picture is 3000×2000 pixels, kind of large) Each bar on the left is a […]
