Social Engineering
Alright everyone, I have some news for you. In the current day and age, with so many security protocols in effect and so many methods of thwarting a hacker, he has discovered a new best friend: "social-engineering." Social-engineering is anything that coerces someone into doing something you want them to, and in a hacker's context, opens up a gaping security hole. An example of this would be convincing an IT admin to click on a handcrafted link that leads them to a page that the hacker created, which may run a dirty script, exposing their computer to the hacker -- effectively bypassing all security measures. This is a huge deal and everyone who uses computers needs to get in the know. I've found this awesome site for reference, check it out in your free time: http://www.social-engineer.org/
Cheers, Max

This seems to be a fairly official press release location for the new "AntiSec" movement spurred by anonymous. For those of you who don't know, it's a group of rogue hackers trying to show the security world that they're worth nothing. I personally think it's a good way to end internet censorship. Check it out if you want. There are even some user/pass disclosures on it.
Cheers, Max.

Resources
Greetings everyone!
I just wanted to start out with a list of a few of the resources I use to stay up to date in the computer industry as well as the computer-hobbyist world. Most of them are tech blogs or news feeds, a few of them greyhat. Here they are, enjoy!
http://www.reddit.com/r/netsec (Subreddit for network security)
http://hak5.org (Weekly videos about hacking)
http://blog.gizmodo.com/ (Gizmodo, everyone knows it)
http://www.backtrack-linux.org/forums (Backtrack Linux PenTesting Forums)
That's all for now.
Cheers!

Welcome!
Hello everyone!
I am Max, and relatively new to blogging, however well experienced in the IT world. I figured it was time to get on board with the younger generation of computer users and write a blog.
Most of these posts will probably be about IT in some way, shape, or form. I am very interested in a lot of greyhat and blackhat topics, so it may include that as well, just as a disclaimer. I have always been a large part of the security world, and that's where this interest stems from.
Anyway, the first real post will be coming soon. Welcome to my life!
