Bleeping Radar
The time has come, once again!
Masters from all over the world will convene,
Battles will be fought, empowered by deep knowledge,
Hardwares will become the new Software! (-ish)
when Robin Hood embraces the modern day lifestyle.
This will be the day to cherish, the moment of truth!
Interoperability will be attacked, and Software Protection will be defeated via Metasm,
Blackberries will be crushed, making software dumber.
Physical locks give way to the inevitable, HAM Radio rises to seize the day.
The bad guys are winning… so what?
Retaliation to own the world begins — One desktop at a time.
Tempest will be called upon from within mobile command centres.
PDF origami strikes back, having fun with ATMs and HSMs.
There will be NO TURNING BACK!
This, is the way its supposed to be.
This is, Hack In The Box!
THX (Teh Hamburg’er eXperiance)
Congratulations to Najib (omenix) & Eena Beena for their engagement. Glad to be there to witness it (and snapped over 300+ photos :p).
My old i686 Compaq Presario V3000 laptop’s motherboard (circa Q4 2005 model) has died on me right after my last pentest for Marine & MOA so, twas time to replace it with a better and meaner machine….
Late 2008 refurbished by Machines/Apple model of 13″ 2.0Ghz Aluminium Unibody Macbook :D
It was really an awesome deal for me since the unit they gave me has a warranty that ends on March 2010; which means, I lost about 2 months worth of warranty and got a discount of MYR700 from the retail MYR4799 price tag.
Since Snow Leopard is about to be released by end of this year, I’ll probably get an Intel SSD or WD Raptor HD to replace Apple’s stock 160GB 5400rpm harddisk for that sweeeeet performance boost. :D
Cheers :)
Why Oh You =)
You,
Made me smile
Made me happy
Made me think
How beautiful life is
by just being around you
You,
Made me ponders
Made me wonders
Non the blunder
You,
Made me feel alive
Made me think wild
Made me believe
Chances are meant to be
taken without regrets
You,
Made me fly high
Looking down patiently waiting
Knowing it is worth it.
