So don’t worry he’ll be back, sooner or later, with interesting stuff

I’m looking forward to this event, as I’m a FluxFinger team-member and currently already designing a challenge for it. For me it’s the first time I help to organize a CTF, the learning effect of such a challenge design is really huge

Not very interesting for my readers, but yeah, I wanted to write something about this event.

Kind regards,
Kabel

Nothing special about the script, I find it quite useful and I use it as a permanent “widget” in my xmobar, so I’m always up to date when the next U35 leaves, and I don’t lose time waiting for it.

So here you go: vrr-client.tar.bz2

It tasted very good, and was quite fun creating it, so maybe I’ll do it more often

Kind regards,
Kabel

PS: As people keep telling me that it does not look good, I have to say the following: Please consider the obfuscation performed by my mobile phone camera and the bad light conditions in my kitchen. Honestly it looked very good.

My hacker colleagues form the University had already some plans for the weekend, and they managed to convince me to join them for a nice evening. So, my Friday night began at 18:47, with a “U-Bahn” that did not come, due to the bad weather… fortunately the next was able to pick me up, and I drove to the “Bochum Hauptbahnhof” where Joshua, a nice guy form the uni lives. tmh and h0yt3r were already there and we went to Joshuas place to have some chill-out time, with some beers, food and a movie. It was fun, until I literally exploded his chef seat :S (I bought him a new one today, knowing the time one passes on such a chair when you study at the RUB, I know I had to do it, and the faster the better).

After this we left the building at 23:00 and took the U-35 to the university. We weren’t alone, unfortunately a group of very “strange” young people were singing, and making stupid things in the train… we hoped they would get out of the train before the university. We were hoping wrong … they all got out of the train at the RUB, like we did. We were lucky, as we found out that there was another party at the uni, the Theology guys had orgnaized one too… the strange people all went there

The rest of the night, we spend chilling and listening to music in the front of the lecture halls. There were plenty of people and the ambiance was just perfect.

So, I had a great time with people I knew for quite a while (tmh, h0yt3r were people I got in touch with in my early Internet times and I was following their progress for all this time). So you see, Geeks, Nerds and whatever names people want to give us, we also socialize sometimes, and go away from our PCs, and out of our dark rooms.

As a conclusion I have to say that the party was good, but I’m not a very big fan of parties and I could not party all weekends, but for once in a while it is okay, looking forward to the next “IB-United” party!

Best regards,
Kabel

P.S: I put a new page online: “about me” The page is briefly describing the author of this blog.
If you know me:
Feel free to tell me, if you find that the description is not matching my personality.
Else If you don’t know me:
Feel free to get an impression on who I am.

Sorry for the bad quality of the picture my phone cam was not able to do better.

Note that the I can operate all these laptops with only one mouse and keyboard, thanks to synergy, a TCP KVM Switch running on, at least, the 3 operating system you can see on this pictures. Furthermore, copy & paste from one OS into the next is no problem, which is providing a lot of comfort in everyday life.
I’m currently using the following operation systems:

* freeBSD 8.0. The laptop on the left, mainly monitoring servers, traffic, services etc…

* Mac OS X. Laptop in the middle and the 24″ screen. Mainly for chatting, showing pdf’s papers I have to work on and movies (This laptop is the worst thing I ever bought, you can simply not work on such a foo, but at least, I tried :’( )

* A Linux based OS. The 17″ Screen and the Thinkpad on the right. This laptop is mainly used for working and developing

You may have noticed all these lights and lava lamps etc, of course they can be piloted by the PCs you see but more on this in one of the next blog posts.

Kabel

Of course you can still access it over ipv4 as well as ipv6.
I’m modifying my blog at the moment, some features will be added that you’ll notice others you won’t. I’m mainly increasing the security and automating some boring tasks.

Have a nice evening,
Kabel
