I have been envying the people that have OllyDbg to play with when they debug/analyze applications…
Today muts posted some screenshots of the upcomming BackTrack 4 distro. One of the screenshots shows a window where EDB was used to debug/analyze Firefox.
What was this tool - EDB??? google google google (dot com), and 10 minutes afterwards… Installed on my Ubuntu Hardy and Jaunty.
Easy:
$ wget http://www.codef00.com/projects/debugger-0.9.8.tgz
$ sudo aptitude install libqt4-dev libboost-dev
$ qmake && make
$ ./edb –help
usage: ./edb [ –attach
] [ –run
(args…) ] [ –version ]
$ ./edb &
I fell in love, even before I tried it!

Findings like this, makes my day! Thanks to Evan Teran.
Happy D3bugging!

People hack.. for phun and profit…
For those who do it for profit, well, this is not for you
There are several places on the Internet that you can h4ck on, legally… You don’t have to become a BlackHat hacker
I used to play Uplink, but it I seem to have some issues on my x86_64 bit linux system, so I have not played for a while. (Great h4×0r game btw).
When I was studding back in 2000-2002, I did try out some of the Free Hacking sites that was back then. Things where very basic back then, and mostly I remember 2-4 levels on each competition. I remember mostly doing the web site based hacking.
Back then, I was not that impressed over that type of sites, but it was some phun.
Me and some of my friends (from 2000 to 2002) got together on weekends, setting up a linux box, and trying to hack it. Both locally and remote. That was phun, but mostly script kiddie stuff at that time for Buffer Overflows and such.
Last week i did another search for such sites, and I must say I was impressed. I tried out two different sites, and they all gave me good exercises. One was about web hacking, and the other one about OS hacking. I must say that I’m rather exited, and I believe I will put some good hours into it on my spare time
I would recommend that you start out at http://www.wechall.net/
The two sites I h4×0r3d on:

http://www.hackthissite.org/
Hope you like it, and happy hacking!

The last week, I have seen an increase in ICMP Echo requests from Iran to my two Honeynets (on different networks here in Norway). Special about this, is that they ping every hosts on the network, with a TTL starting between 85 to 231 and decreasing to 0. Then it seems that they keep on pinging hosts on the networks that they found, about once each 2. day after that, but from new hosts, in the same network.
My guess is, that its a mapping of the network of some kind, but for what, we will have to wait and see
IP’s involved that I see are from the nets: 81.31.186.0/24 and 81.31.183.0/24 which are both in the net 81.31.160.0/19 which seems to belong to:
inetnum: 81.31.160.0 - 81.31.191.255
org: ORG-SUOT1-RIPE
netname: IR-SHARIF-20020603
