CGD for OpenBSD  |  (2003/11/13 18:20)

As mentioned before, I'd been planning on testing out CGD for OpenBSD. I finally got my lazy ass around to it and set it up on OpenBSD 3.4. There were a couple of minor Makefile tweaks necessary, but I've got it up and running with a 50GB partition. So far it's working well. If another week or two of testing goes well, I'm going to redo all of my Linux/Loop-AES installs and replace them with OpenBSD/CGD.

CD Shredders  |  (2003/11/13 18:15)

I recently bought what I thought was a CD shredder from Fry's Electronics and when I got it home I discovered that all it did was put divots all over the surface. Obviously this is pretty useless.
I was much more impressed when I saw Time Magazine's cool invention list which had a real CD shredder
When you happen to impulse buy, be sure to get one of the latter devices, not one of the former.

Reverse Engineering Links  |  (2003/11/13 18:00)

I've got a couple of links on reverse engineering and disassembly that I've been meaning to post for ages.
First, there's a book that I've been reading called Hacker Disassembling Uncovered which gives a good overview on IDA and SoftICE techniques. It's fairly rough in places, but it's really the only reference I know of (outside of taking one of Halvar's courses).
I also ran across an ebook called Introduction to Reverse Engineering Software which is worth a look.
