Intimacy with MSF - Metasploit Framework
We will try to unleash the power of Metasploit and will demonstrate how to take down systems with it.
FPM at the Ruby Drink-up of Sophia, September 2011
FPM is an open source tool that can package applications and dependencies into native packages that can be installed and managed by the system's native package manager. It wraps directories, gems, Python modules, and Node packages into deb, rpm, or other package formats. This allows applications and their dependencies to be deployed and managed using the system's native packaging tools rather than requiring alternative installation methods. FPM handles common tasks like packaging runtime dependencies or application code so that the packaged application can be deployed and managed through the system's native package manager.

SpaceLock Meetup - Plan 25 Jan 09
2 Months ago we had a meet-up to discuss how we proceed with Project SpaceLock... this is just to remind us of how things are going on, and to keep a track of time :)
From printed circuit boards to exploits
Hardware hacking hit the news quite often in 2017, and a lot of pentesters tried to jump into the band wagon and discover the joy of hacking things rather than servers or applications. But most of them are only looking for rootz shellz and p0wning embedded Linux operating systems rather than doing what we really call "hardware hacking". In this talk, we are going to hack a Bluetooth Low Energy smartlock, from its printed circuit board to a fully working exploit, as well as its (wait for it) associated mobile application you need to install to operate this thing.
This talk is not only an introduction into the field of hardware hacking, but also a good way to dive into electronics and its specific protocols, and of course into microcontrollers and System-on-chip reverse engineering. We will cover some electronics basic knowledge as well as tools and classic methodologies when it comes at analyzing an IoT device and will provide tips and tricks based on our experience but our failures too.

Flash security past_present_future_final_en
The document discusses a vulnerability in the ActionScript Virtual Machine 2 (AVM2) bytecode verifier that was discovered in October 2012. By examining the open source Tamarin project code, which implements AVM2, the author found that a bounds check on local register parameters was incorrectly omitted from the bytecode verification of declocal and inclocal opcodes. This omission allowed arbitrary register values to be used, potentially leading to code execution. The vulnerability was introduced in November 2011 by moving the bounds check to within an #ifdef block that is never executed in the released Flash Player.

Dancing App Stores - Android Open 2011
The document discusses the many Android app stores that exist, including major ones like the Google Play Store and Amazon App Store, as well as smaller niche stores. It describes the author's experiences submitting their apps K-9 Mail and Kaiten Mail to different stores. Key challenges included long review times, limited statistics and support, and low sales on some stores. The author argues submitting apps to multiple stores can increase revenues but requires managing different processes and policies across each store.
Perl 5.16 and Beyond - YAPC::Asia 2011
The document discusses a vision for improving and modernizing Perl 5. Some key points include:
- Making it possible to declare and maintain different versions of Perl 5 semantics to avoid breaking existing code.
- Externalizing features like SysV IPC and sockets into optional modules to reduce the core language size.
- Establishing sane defaults like warnings and stricter open() behavior to clean up parts of the language.
- Continuing to improve the development and release process to make contributions and changes easier.
The overall goal is to make Perl 5 a smaller, simpler, and more stable language while still allowing it to evolve over time without unexpected breaks to existing code.
Perl 5.16 and beyond
Perl 5 is evolving rapidly with new stable releases being produced more frequently. The vision is to allow Perl 5 to continue evolving while maintaining backwards compatibility. This may involve externalizing features into modules, allowing different versions of Perl semantics based on version declarations, and moving to saner defaults over time through longer deprecation cycles. The goal is to keep Perl 5 a useful and sustainable language.
OSCON 2011 - Perl 5.16 and beyond
The document discusses plans for future versions of Perl 5. Key points include:
- Perl 5 releases now happen much more frequently due to streamlined processes and rotating release engineers.
- Backward compatibility is a priority, but the language must continue evolving. A proposal to declare expected Perl versions would allow new features while maintaining old semantics for older code.
- Major changes that break backward compatibility would only happen as a last resort, with long deprecation cycles.
- Cleaning up and slimming down the Perl core language is a goal to make it more manageable and easier to learn.
RT4 - The whole sordid story
Building RT 4 took a lot more work than we'd expected. In the end, we learned some useful lessons and ended up with a great product.
Perl 5.12.0
Perl 5.12 was recently released with several new features and improvements but no critical regressions reported so far. The "Pumpking" or project leader explained that development releases are now made monthly by release managers, reducing the workload on the Pumpking. Contributors now make the majority of changes to Perl, with over 70 unique authors contributing monthly.
P2P Bug Tracking with SD
SD is a peer-to-peer (P2P) bug tracking system that allows users to track bugs and work even when offline or without reliable network access. It was created by Jesse Vincent, the founder of Best Practical, because existing bug tracking solutions did not meet his needs as someone who spends a lot of time traveling without reliable WiFi access. SD synchronizes issues and changes across devices and other issue trackers using a distributed model rather than depending on a centralized network infrastructure.
SD - A peer to peer issue tracking system
SD is a peer-to-peer bug tracking tool that allows users to track bugs offline and sync changes across networks. It addresses common issues with other bug tracking solutions by running at the edge, not depending on network reliability, and being topology-agnostic. SD can sync with other bug trackers like RT, Trac, Google Code and GitHub. It uses principles of distributed computing to resolve conflicts as changes are pulled from other users. The tool has a command line interface and can be installed via a one-line command that handles dependencies.
Hacking your Kindle (OSCON Lightning Talk)
This document summarizes the speaker's experience hacking their first ebook reader, the Kindle 2, to add additional functionality. It describes how they used USB networking debugging mode to access the Kindle's Linux filesystem, installed software like Calibre and Savory to allow additional ebook formats like ePub and PDF, and eventually ported Ubuntu and X.org to the device to build a custom PDF reader utilizing the Kindle's screen and inputs. The speaker outlines the device's technical specifications and limitations, and details the steps taken to modify and cross-compile software for the embedded Linux environment.
Beginning Kindle Hackery
I gave a talk on Kindle hacking at Shibuya Perl Mongers in April 2009. It documents my first couple months messing around with the Kindle.
SD, a P2P bug tracking system
The document introduces SD, a peer-to-peer bug tracking tool developed by Best Practical to allow tracking bugs offline and syncing work across devices. SD uses a decentralized model where each installation can pull changes from any other replica. It supports syncing with other bug trackers like RT, Trac and Google Code. The author argues that cloud services make users dependent while SD empowers fully offline and distributed work by syncing like users naturally share files.
Beijing Perl Workshop 2008 Hiveminder Secret Sauce
Template::Declare is a pure Perl templating engine that allows templates to be treated like code. Templates can be refactored, use object orientation and mixins. Tags are implemented as closures that can output content immediately or return closures. CSS::Squish is a CSS compiler that combines multiple small CSS files into one large file for easier serving, improving performance by allowing browsers to cache the combined file.
A brief introduction to RTIR
RT and RTIR are open source ticketing systems designed by Jesse Vincent and Best Practical to help system administrators, helpdesk staff, and CERT teams be more effective. RTIR is based on RT but customized for incident response with features like incident reports, investigations, and network blocks. It provides a workflow and tools to help teams track incidents from initial reports through investigation and resolution. Both systems are free to use and have an active international user and developer community providing support.

Web 2.0 is Sharecropping
Web 2.0 services resemble modern sharecropping where users contribute data and labor but do not own the services or have control over their data. If a service goes down or stops allowing new users, there is no recourse for the users. The author argues that users should have access to their own data through open APIs and services should be designed to work offline through peer-to-peer synchronization to avoid lock-in to specific service providers. The author is developing an open source database called Prophet that is aimed at building applications that can work offline through replication and without internet access.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
