Exciting road trip

The Challenge!

We had a trip today to an undisclosed location. We re working on the 2nd mission for Hunt or Survive (The Challenge) and had to do some field work today. Interesting run.

More tomorrow! Anyone who recognises the location in these pictures (cfr mission 2, hint 5) – mail me :)

Cold Boot Attacks on Encryption Keys

Filed Under (Linux) by Gert on 27-02-2008

Contrary to popular assumption, DRAMs used in most modern computers retain their contents for seconds to minutes after power is lost, even at operating temperatures and even if removed from a motherboard. Although DRAMs become less reliable when they are not refreshed, they are not immediately erased, and their contents persist sufficiently for malicious (or forensic) acquisition of usable full-system memory images. We show that this phenomenon limits the ability of an operating system to protect cryptographic key material from an attacker with physical access. We use cold reboots to mount attacks on popular disk encryption systems — BitLocker, FileVault, dm-crypt, and TrueCrypt — using no special devices or materials. We experimentally characterize the extent and predictability of memory remanence and report that remanence times can be increased dramatically with simple techniques. We offer new algorithms for finding cryptographic keys in memory images and for correcting errors caused by bit decay. Though we discuss several strategies for partially mitigating these risks, we know of no simple remedy that would eliminate them.

Interesting stuff! I read this some days ago, wanted to show it earlier today, but hadnt bookmarked the article. Anywho. The ram thing wasnt a surprise, nor is the fact that it Works! And that nobody realized it earlier isnt either. Anywho, bla bla – check this & realise you might have been relying on something that isnt aaaaal THAT safe :)

Infosecurity

Filed Under (Games, Linux) by Gert on 26-02-2008

Quite a pitty I wont be able to check out the infosecurity trade show like I did last year.

I discovered a lot of fun & interesting stuff over there & I would ‘ve liked to do so again this year. But its not possible, too much to do at work. Maybe next year :)

Mordheim, Mordheim, Mordheim!! :)
Cant wait for the stuff to arrive :)
& I’ll still need someone to paint ‘em – though Im actually already considering painting em myself. Yet I do know better. And the whole fucking price is just too steep. The whole painting gear – paint (6 different ones), brushes, airbrush, spraypaint, special stuffs, whatnot. For a mere 10 guys & that lovely chariot!

*sigh*

Time ll tell its tale I guess ;)

Mordheim

Filed Under (Games) by Gert on 25-02-2008

Im getting started with the Mordheim thing. So I ordered the Carnival of Chaos!

No one knows from whence it came, the dreaded Carnival of Chaos. Some have rumoured that it was once a gypsy caravan from the east of the Empire, wandering folk that brought their colourful fare from village to village entertaining the poor rural folk of the Empire with their lavish shows and stage plays. If this past is the truth then what it has become in the present is far more sinister and deadly. Still it wanders the rural backwaters of the Empire, in a colourful cavalcade of wagons, its folk dressed in the colourful finery of travelling players, bringing sonnet and song to excitable villagers and peasants.

Both the CarnivalBox

& the Plague Cart (lovely piece!!)

Greatly looking forward to havin some fun with ‘em :)

Google intoxicates Linux users with Wine improvements

Filed Under (Linux) by Gert on 20-02-2008

Ultimately, I think most Linux users would prefer to see resources invested in making truly native open source alternatives to commercial applications, but the Wine project fills a very important need for many. It seems likely that we can look forward to additional Wine improvements as Google continues to participate in ongoing Wine development.Link

Yeah – all that jazz!
Been wondering about this & been wanting to write some stuffs about thiss.. So yeah

& whatever -  i’m really too tired to write anything right now. Maybe I should write some stuff about some friends n all.. you know – oppinions about dear but easilly angered friends. Soon to be mortal enemies. yeah
