It's been a while since we have updated the website. So, SophSec decided that it's time once again for the annual website redesign. Our first goal was to better organize the content on the site, and then work on changing it's apperance. And man this gray theme is getting me down, definitely not sketchy enough.
The first major change to the site is user blogs for SophSec members. Not only can you read the main SophSec blog, but can focus on what individual members are ranting about:
Additionally we've added Atom RSS Feeds to the blogs. If you were subscribed to the old RSS feed, you will need to re-subscribe:
I finally finished another track - Nice Report. It's name and content basically come from the false sense of security given by a pentest/audit/advisory report. It also has abrasive lyrical assaults on the media's relationship with the infosec industry, as well as general disdain for script kiddies. My producer Conkrete did all the recording and mastering magic, and the beat was purchased from illbeatz.com. Hope you enjoy it. Lyrics are available here.
That's right you read correctly, we are going to ToorCamp, and I will be giving a talk there on Ronin.
Now some of you maybe wondering, how could a group who rarely updates their Blog, be giving a talk at a Hacker Camp in a Missile Silo? Well one's productivity is not proportional to how much you Blog. In fact, those of you with Twitter accounts are creating negative productivity.
The other contributing factors for us going to ToorCamp are:
To the others who will be attending ToorCamp, we at SophSec highly recommend you also catch Chris Abad's talk on Analog Electronics and Functional Programming.
Postmodern and Pierce are pimping up teh intertr0ns!
Pierce recently presented on his tool Seeds-of-Contempt at Viz-SEC, with awesome response from the masses. Seeds-of-Contempt provides a visual means of monitoring and attacking network traffic, as well as remote "resource management" functionality ;].
Postmodern Modulus III has publicly released the first version of Ronin, and now with docs. Having personally seen him present on the same documentation and demonstrate Ronin's capacity, I have to say the power Ronin puts at your fingertips for on-the-fly hacking is phenomenal.
ps. with these guys makin me look so bad, i'll have to finally finish someting cool to post here.
While we're finishing up some research content here at SophSec, I've decided to kick it up a notch by publishing a Hacker HipHop track. Big props to my good friend and producer Conkrete- he's seriously a top-grade musical composer and engineer, and I was lucky enough to have his beat and engineering for this track. The song is called clockwork and the lyrics for the track are available.
The music is distinguished hacker rap, not to be confused with nerdcore, and makes harsh statements addressed towards whitefat industry and skript kiddie culture. It has been nominated for best song at this years BlackHat Pwnie Awards (WOOT) and if I'm lucky, wins ;].
Been a while since we last updated sophsec.com. You see we've been busy chasing the great hackerican dream. You know the one, quad-core computers, a beautiful window manager theme and contributing to your neighborhoods artistic aeshetic via graffiti.
Well we're back like a rash with some new content which we will be adding to over the next few months. I give you the first on our list, Shards of Code. Shards is SophSec's version of DZone snippets, except shards sounds edgier. We will try to document the code we post, illustrating common usage, limitations and any dependencies.
Check it out.
It's not that we haven't been doing research, it is just that we have had drama inside the crew recently with very serious addiction problems. Four of the groups members are currently undergoing rehab after being introduced to a new purified form of crack called Bloxorz. More information can be found at Bloxorz main page.
Oh, what is that orange-square thing up in your address-bar, I belive it is a per-blog RSS Feeds. That's right, now you can keep up-to-date on all the SophSec goings-ons, via your RSS enabled iPhone, Refrigerator or Smart-Shoe (tm).
We also added linkable permalinks to sections, sub-sections, downloads and news items (required for direct RSS links).
Building this site has been tons of fun.
Most sections have been filled with atleast some content. The random section currently contains the most stuff, and the research section contains nothing (because we're lazy). Expect topics such as exploitation research, as well as analysis data in the research section shortly.
The site is gaining content rapidly and will continue to do so until the bunny is done throwing up. Massive props to postmodern for putting together a solid web infrastructure for managing our content and posts.
We finally got a decent website design created for sophsec.com, for your enjoyment.
Be sure to look around, you might find some interesting information on the Research page. You can also learn about many of our side projects on the Projects page. Finally, there is a healthy serving of random links that we recommend you checkout over on the Random page.
