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:

• SophSec
• cd
• drraid
• pierce
• postmodern
• sysfail

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:

• SophSec's feed
• cd's feed
• drraid's feed
• pierce's feed
• postmodern's feed
• sysfail's feed

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:

• Ronin has been developed on for around three years now.
• We already had slides prepared.
• It's in a fucking Missile Silo.

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.

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.

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.

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.
