Wow..it's been really crazy as of late. Sorry for the lack of blog posts but this is "the" busy month of the year for me! Here is what I have going on:

October 11th Ohio LinuxFest
Security Justice will be podcasting live from the Ohio LinuxFest! Dave and myself will be there hanging out with the folks from Notacon and others. If you are there...stop by, say hi and pick up some Security Justice stickers!

October 15th NEO InfoSec Forum
I will be giving a talk on "Information Gathering with Maltego" at the NEO InfoSec Forum. Join us after the meeting at Mavis Winkles for beer and the live recording of the Security Justice podcast.

October 30-31st Ohio Information Security Summit
There are several things that I am doing at this year's local security summit:

I will be participating in a panel discussion at 2:20pm on October 30th, "Social Networks - Acceptance and Mitigation of Risk in Today's Workplace". Later that evening at 6pm I am leading a birds of a feather session entitled "Security & Privacy of Social Networks". At this session I will be releasing my Facebook Privacy and Security Guide at the session. Look for a blog post about this project soon.

Finally, on October 31st I will be doing a talk entitled "Penetration Testing 2.0: Corporate Tiger Team" at 1:30pm.

If you are local or in the surrounding Ohio area be sure to check out the Information Security Summit. It's well organized and is only $250 for two full days of talks!

Oh, and if that wasn't keeping me busy enough...I am working on another Security Justice special edition with another very special guest to take place some time in October. More details soon.

I'll hopefully get a few posts up in the next few days...I have a few in the "queue" almost ready to launch. :-) Back to work for me and thanks for reading!

I finally decided to check out what all the hype was about and took the Twitter plunge. I am now a security "Twit". Not sure how I feel about being a "Twit" but so far so good. :)

It's actually quite addicting as others have pointed out and I have started to convert my friends and associates over to the "dark side" of instant social networking. I have never been a big fan of the other social networking sites (Myspace, Facebook) but this is very different. So if you want to check me out on Twitter, here is my profile. Check out some of the security "Twits" I follow like matthewneely, McGrewSecurity, PaulDotCom, haxorthematrix and Andy Willingham.

Here is a newbie guide to Twitter if you need some assistance setting it up and learning to send "tweets". Enjoy!

Welcome Quzart to the spylogic.net team!

Another blogger from the Netherlands named Quzart will be posting an article on the revised c 99shell php script. Keep an eye out for it. Thanks Quzart!

Just put a new theme in for the site..so far so good. I also removed the forums since they were not used (at all actually) and re-enabled the comments. Enjoy!

Just wanted to drop a quick note and say thanks to all the readers and subscribers of the spylogic.net blog! 2007 was the first year that I really put some effort into the blog and it is now starting to take off. Hopefully things will continue to progress in 2008...updating the blog can be challenging at times because of work and other commitments (other bloggers know what I am talking about) but I will keep plugging away at it. Have a safe and hopefully secure 2008!

Yes..it's been awhile! Seems that life and career got in the way! I will be posting more in the very near future..lots of updates from Blackhat and Defcon that I attended in Vegas as well as some new projects I am hoping to get more involved with. Also looking at expanding the site and changing somethings..stay tuned!
