Well I have a bunch of little things here that were collecting dust on the desktop that I'm stuffing into one message... Today is Saturday, Nov. 11, the 316th day of 2000. There are 50 days left in the year. This is Veterans Day in the United States; Remembrance Day in Canada. If you see a veteran out today, (Or any day for that matter) Stop them and thank them for their service to their country! Well I try not to watch too much television, Short of the regular cable feed of CNN in the office, (The Dish on the roof is next) There aren't too many televison shows that really catch my eye, But lately I have been watching Level 9 which had its third episode on tonight. Level 9 for those of you that have their faces buried in BugTraq and ISN postings over the TV Guide is a televison show on high-tech crime on the Internet with a NIPC like (In more ways than one!) FBI computer crime squad with a few government hacker types and one on parole working for the group. Daily Variety has been called Level 9 an intriguing premise that combines the proven cop show formula with the endless possibilities of the Internet, and a slick action thriller that brings to mind the original "Mission Impossible" series. While the soap operas during the day are doing campy shows with hackers, virus, and breeching the firewall, Level 9 was created, written, and produced by Michael Connelly and his partner Josh Meyer and its getting better and better with every show, Something worth programing the Tivo for. :) Couple links to play around with... http://www.upn.com/shows/levelnine/airdis.html http://www.michaelconnelly.com/ http://www.michaelconnelly.com/discus/messages/48/48.html?FridayNovember1020000340pm (This last one is the message board for Michael Connelly's website, Pay close attention to the remarks in red, and comments from none other than Justin Petersen - Agent Steal) The Standard has a wrap-up of the Israeli-Palestinian cyber-war with about eight odd stories writing about the conflict that I didn't feel like posting here, But here is the URL and you all can look at it if you like. http://www.thestandard.com/article/display/0,1151,20098,00.html I have also decided that if there is a defacement listed in a news story that we will add a link to the defacement on Attrition at the top or bottom of the article. Attrition has several defacement mailing lists, A couple of the house favorites are the Defaced Summary, This is a low traffic mail list to announce all publicly defaced domains on a given day. To subscribe to Defaced-Summary, send mail to majordomo () attrition org with "subscribe defaced-summary" in the BODY of the mail. I am also are subscribed to the Defaced GM list which is a low traffic mail list to announce all publicly defaced government and military domains on a given day. To subscribe to Defaced-GM, send mail to majordomo () attrition org with "subscribe defaced-gm" in the BODY of the mail. Finally, There's the Defaced Alpha, This is a low traffic mail list to announce via alpha-numeric pagers, all publicly defaced government and military domains on a given day. To subscribe to Defaced-Alpha, send mail to majordomo () attrition org with "subscribe defaced-alpha" in the BODY of the mail. A little extra bit of information should be looked at on the Attrition webpage if you're interested in this list. http://www.attrition.org/security/defaced-a.html I should note that I am a big fan of the Defaced Alpha list, Especially when talking security to clients or as its happened in the past for me, Teaching a class on information security and having an alert on my moblie e-mail of some .mil site's security being compromised hits really close to home that you have to be completely diligent with your own organizations security otherwise someone with a different agenda than you Will. Finally, for a good laugh, Call 800.888.3999, Listen to all the prompts and pay attention to #7. Cheers!
