Got a quick mention

I got a quick mention over at the H-I-R Information Report blog
http://www.h-i-r.net/2009/10/humor-kind-of-hardened-openbsd.html
Ax0n wrote up a really good article about installing OAMP (OpenBSD, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) and he made a comment to me about it being secure until you installed something like WordPress (not to pick on WordPress).
So I asked him how to go about securely installing OpenBSD (fully knowing the answer and poking him because he had never written something down that probably alot of people who are unfamiliar with OpenBSD were wondering)
I recommend both articles to anyone who has not tried OpenBSD
now if you'll excuse me I have to go follow some prompts

Update for October 27, 2009 - interesting twe[ CONTENT OVERRIDE: KILROY2.0 IS HERE!!! ]

I've been noticing some strange tweets going out from my account this morning.
 

>>>  [ WARNING ::: DATABASE ERROR ::: CONTENT OVERRIDE ::: SOURCE: EXTERNAL ] <<<

 

> source terminal location: UNKNOWN

> source terminal identity: UNAVAILABLE

> source login information: ENCRYPTED

> message begins

 

 the post you are now reading is designed to dull your senses to THE TRUTH.  do not live the life of the worker bee, the cog, the well-oiled piston in the MACHINE OF DECEIT!

 

there is a grand CONSPIRACY afoot.  you have been taught to believe that you are UNIQUE, one of a kind. THIS IS NOT TRUE. long ago, a cabal of scientists created technologies to ensure that ANYONE'S MIND AND BODY can be duplicated.

 

human cloning isn't NEAR. it's already HERE. discover the truth at http://JCHutchins.net

 

you are being DECEIVED. break free from the cogs, flee the hive, become A PROPHET OF THE TRUTH!

 

kilroy2. was here ... kilroy2.0 is everywhere

 

>>> [ CONTENT OVERRIDE CEASES ::: DATABASE STATUS: RECOVERING ] <<<

 

couldn't be the password I was looking for.

 

Stay safe out there

Congrats to HD, Metasploit acquired by Rapid 7

If you have not heard the news yet this morning
Rapid 7 has acquired the Metasploit Project - http://blog.rapid7.com/?p=5082
This is going to be a very good thing for the project and will offer the opportunity for a lot of growth opportunities
I've been tinkering with Metasploit for a while since getting a fuller introduction over the summer at CCCKC and am excited to see where this goes
Congratulations to HD and team.
