Over the years, there has been an odd mix of Mustangs. The original was an iconic thing made all the more famous by its appearance in the movie Bullitt. Then there were the less than memorable cars, the Mustang II being the absolute worst. After that disaster, things picked up, although the Stang rode on the same antiquated platform for almost 25 years.
In 2005, Ford released the current model — it had a better platform and ushered in the retro look. Since then, it has been nipped and tucked to keep it at the forefront of the pony car market. For 2013, there's a new face that incorporates high-intensity-discharge headlights, while the smoked taillight lens are lit by LEDs. Subtle, yes, but a worthwhile update.
The Mustang GT's 5.0-litre V8 now pushes 420 horsepower, which is up eight hp, and 390 pound-feet of torque. This is, to state the obvious, more than enough power to keep the driver entertained. When fired through the six-speed manual box, the GT romps to 100 kilometres an hour in 4.7 seconds and it accomplishes the 80-to-120-km/h passing move in an equally speedy 3.8 seconds. Both are six-figure (dollar-wise) times in today's go-faster world.
One of the Mustang's true pleasures is rowing the manual gearbox. Unlike so many do-it-yourselfers, the GT's gate is crisp and well defined. Likewise, for a clutch that's dealing with a ton of power, it is both light and refined to the feel. The result is a car that is very easy to drive in a town environment — the engine is so flexible the box can be short-shifted such that the tachometer seldom pops its needle over 2,000 rpm. This makes it a lot easier on fuel — I managed a test average of 11.4 litres per 100 kilometres.
Where the Mustang succeeds, and has done for decades, is the noise the twin tailpipes elicit. Almost without regard for the enthusiasm with which the gas is prodded, the bassy burble is unmistakably Mustang. When prowling suburbia, the growl is muted, but it carries a note of authority. Crank up the engine's revs and the pipes rumble like the finest church organ. It is a thing of beauty that the Europeans have yet to master quite as well.
The GT's handling is, in a word, poised, as the suspension brings a balanced approach. There is enough compliance to deal with a rough road, yet it has the firmness needed to counter body roll through a fast corner. The one thing that did surprise me is just how well the back end behaves. In spite of the solid rear axle, there's little axle tramp on a rapid takeoff, and, mid-corner, the tail stays beneath the driver unless the gas is tromped with a little too much enthusiasm. That's where AdvanceTrac came to the fore — it prevents it from going too far.
The rest of the dynamics live up to expectations. One of the many functions contained within the setup mode housed in the dash is the ability to adjust the feel of the steering. Comfort makes the GT feel more like a Lincoln than a sports car. Normal is not bad, but it's the Sport mode that delivers the best feedback. It does, unlike the system found in the Hyundai Elantra GT, make more of a difference to the feel and feedback than just altering the weight.
An option worth the money is the GT brake performance package ($1,700). It upgrades the brakes, gives the stability control system a little more edge and replaces the P235/50R18 all-season tires with a much better set of P255/40R19 summer tires. In the end, it sharpens the feel, brings much better lateral grip and shorter, fade-free stopping distances. And, yes, there is a menu that measures the acceleration and braking distance if so desired.
Inside, the Mustang has moved ahead light years in terms of the quality of the materials, the layout and the manner in which it treats the riders. The front buckets are both comfortable and supportive. The lone add-on to the test car, beyond the Ford options, was a light bar. While it looks like a roll bar, it is in reality there to support a high-mounted stoplight and add ambient cabin lighting. The smart part is that it only lights the brake light when to convertible roof is down.
As before, the back seat is really only usable when the need to ferry four is, well, dire — there is little leg space and getting back there is a chore, especially with the soft top up. However, if the rear seat is viewed as additional storage space, it works. The convertible's trunk, at 9.6 cubic feet, needs the help because of the top's intrusion into the usable space.
Now, if you want a little kitsch with your ride, the Mustang has it. At night, there are LED puddle lights on the underside of the side-view mirrors. What makes them different is that the light pattern is an exact copy of the galloping Mustang logo found in the grille. As I say, kitschy, but different.
The Mustang has improved enormously over the years, especially since the introduction of the fifth generation in 2005. The 2013 edition is as good as the pony car gets. There is plentiful power — even the V6 now has some serious mustard — a slick transmission, tight handling and a very nice interior. The capper proved to be the siren the twin pipes sing — with the top down it is simply intoxicating.

Ever played with huge arrays and you always have to copy chunks into smaller arrays which then you want to feed to some algorithm(or pass a bunch of indexes)? if yes, then you should know by now that a "slice of TYPE" functionality kinda', shoulda' be available by now in Delphi's compiler... anyhu' with the introduction of generics, we got the options to shoot ourselves in the foot or come up with good ideas, depending on your POV.
So, what is an array slice? Well, wiki says that it grabs a slice of an array and puts it into another array, cool, but that's a bit expensive because I have to copy a block of memory into another, we can surely do better than that, right? well, with generics we can:
procedure TestSlice;
LIntList: TArray<Integer>;
LSlice: TArraySlice<Integer>;
Index: Integer;
/// fill LIntList
SetLength(LIntList, 10);
for Index := Low(LIntList) to High(LIntList) do
LIntList[Index] := Index;
/// "grab" a slice of LIntList
LSlice.SliceArray(LIntList, 0, 5);
for Index := LSlice.Low to LSlice.High do
So, what are we doing in the code above? well, we're creating an array of 10 elements and we set the value of each element to be it's index in the array(I am lazy), next, we grab the first 5 elements from array as a slice and then we walk over the slice and print the elements, the output should be:
Pretty cool, huh? in case you're wondering, TArraySlice is a generic record, therefore initialization and finalization is done by compiler and it holds very little information(reference to "mother|main array", it's offset, count and original array size).
Here's the whole code of TArraySlice, very simple and yet powerful and incomplete (:
Not feeling like writing too much about it, after all it's a very simple thing so I'll let you have fun with it and if you find something useful to add and would like to share, feel free to comment.

Brett Favre looks like a muscular Santa Claus
While Vikings fans pass these cold winter days trying to guess who will be their Quarterback of the Future, one of their Quarterbacks of the Past is getting all the Internet buzz.
Brett Favre was spotted at a conference in Orlando, Fla., over the weekend, looking more mountain man than NFL quarterback. And judging from the photos, two things are obvious.
1. He has been working out a lot with the weights.
2. He hasn't been working out a lot with the razor.
Old No. 4 never looked this chiseled during his playing days, and certainly not in his 2010 farewell tour with the Vikings. He also never looked so much like the "before" guy in a Just For Men commercial.
We shouldn't be too surprised. His agent, Bus Cook, hinted at the transformation six months ago.
"His arms look like a blacksmith's arms," Cook said in a September interview with al.com. "He rides a bike probably 30-50 miles a day. He runs four or five miles a day. He's coaching at the high school, and they're undefeated. He loves it. His body fat is 7.5 percent, and he weighs 225 pounds. He could play today, better than a lot of them out there today."
The key word there was "could." Because a month later, when the St. Louis Rams inquired about his availability, Favre declined.
Favre also "could" start shaving again, but he has declined that, too. He told the NFL Network why in an interview that aired on Super Bowl Sunday.
"I started (his Grizzly Adams beard) at the end of our high school football season. It's that transition from hot to colder hunting season and blah blah blah I just got lazy," Favre said.

The nights when Moses plays at Borgia's Palace are always amazing. All the big names in Clint City turn up to hear him play, especially when Jose Star is part of the line-up, accompanying him with his crooning melodies. It's even been known for Daqun to take part in the show, making the audience tremble in their seats with his "sadocupunture" act, while the other members of the troupe take advantage of the distraction to rob them blind. So, to emerge from one of these evenings unscathed, there's nothing like having a body-guard like Ward hg…

Only Myke is a card that might come out, but he seems still quite good. The other cards are just OP, Katrina a 2* with 8 power for Rescue? And such a strong ability, will never happen. If it would be a 6/2 with Heal 1 Max. 10 it might happen, but not those stats.
Not to speak about Flavio. A 3* card with a potential of 9 power? Ok, that might happen, but 8 damage without bonus, so a 1HKO card for a 3* WITH 9 power? I highly doubt it.

Prolly a 3*.
Despite being beaten to pulp by any Soa. Like Ataoualpet. I would call the powersuit Flavio overpowered. Unopposed 9/10 for a 3*? Otherwise, it's a fine idea.

"The other cards are just OP, Katrina a 2* with 8 power for Rescue? And such a strong ability, will never happen."
Indeed, poor Rescue wont even get a 8powered 2★ card that is weak to soa cus people just hate them. " If it would be a 6/2 with Heal 1 Max. 10" yup, indeed it would be another weak 6powered crap card, in this case with a weak healing ability. Rescue really need stronger cards, not crap like that! One 8 powered card, or at least some more playable 7powered cards, that are not 5★ huge!
7/5 4★ with confidence -2 power min1
8/2 2★ Without ability
7/3 3★ +2 life
Something like that, finally pushing this clan. No more only weak 6 power cards, no more Rescue being ripped apart by sob!
Thoazol - Thursday 05/07/2012, 12:36
Moderator - Wise Men Distracted
Nearly 4 years of power creep + a minimum on both ability and bonus to even it out?
Also, we should get some more Support: +life cards.
Wolfwitness - Thursday 05/07/2012, 13:42
I made those examples as I typed, didn't really gave balance that much thought. Though...
I made Katrina in 8/1 largely because the whole point of her is to be a blocking wall in case of SOA and/or SOB. As for her ability, her existing bio screams for her to have it. Though i agree it should a 3*
As for Flavio... yeah I actually thought him as a more SOA vulnerable Copper and sort of fits his bio, take away his key asset, he's a wimpy ex-hairdresser. But yeah, adding a star and/or turning the ability to a courage/revenge-based one should fix the OP-ness a bit.
@Euzebe My bad if you were referring to me.

Ok, I was already thinking they would be too strong, but Steel is also right, Rescue needs a bit more strong cards, but this was just too OP
ghelas - Thursday 05/07/2012, 23:01
Titan - E X C A L I B U R
I think that if Rescue's average power is 6 (with a bunch of good 7 power cards) and SoB clans' average power is 7, saying that Rescue gets "ripped apart" by SoB may be a little over-dramatic...
@0-Pride, again, an interesting thought, though I think the crystal idea is a bit more practical and useable. Now a lava monster on the other hand...
@wolfwitness, all of those are rather strong. A 1 hit ko with 9 power for a 3*? that is very very strong that it's not funny. 5/4 support attack +5? that's a 5/6 attack plus 20. In my oppinion, thats just very strong. Now if it had stats like boohma, you might have something. As for katrina, i agree, the ability suits her, but I'd look towards ivy stats. An 8/1 with an ability is too strong for rescues, and ruins weakness to sob. Steve and lea are bad enough as it is XD... Although it is an interesting thought of reocurring cards with new stats/abilities... Or better yet clan...
@Euzebe, well, we are talking about what would be interesting in future card releases. It's sorta on topic... Maybe...
@meelosh, i'd say if rescues got a 3* suzie, it would be op. Rescues elo focuses a bit more on impacting, while montana focuses on powerhousing. Moses just kinda gives more possible impact to an otherwise very powerful clan. Plus, oscar and mona definitely are better than him, so he's not exactly best choice... And he cannot ko!
@nastnacho, not really. Tey are pretty tough to face in ELO and type extended. Any weakness they have would be best left.
@Ghelas, you mean to tell me that 7 power isn't a big advantage against 6? Plus, most rescue abilities don't particularly add offense. Tula for example can kill nearly all but buckler...

Rockin' Americana stringband Eric Lambert & Friends (ELF) return to colorful Colorado for a packed two-week Rocky Mountain Tour from May 3-19. The emerging trio, led by acclaimed guitarist, songwriter, and music educator Eric Lambert, along with friends Dan Rogers on bass, and Pat Fiddle on mandolin and fiddle, will be traveling peak-to-peak across much of the state from Fort Collins to Durango with many great stops along the way.
ELF shared their original music experience with the Front Range last November and are looking forward to returning and revisiting some of the venues they played, in addition to fresh locations they've been wanting to check out. Then they head west into the mountains for new towns and music-loving fans.
"I can't wait to visit all of my friends and fans in Colorado and share what ELF has been working on the past five months," said Dan Rogers. "The last time we came through we were welcomed with open arms and had such a great response that we knew we needed to come back as soon as possible."
Changes have occurred in the band, and they are more committed to than ever to progressing and delivering a good time, every time. "We are now a three-piece band," said Eric Lambert. "Musically we have grown immeasurably since our last visit to Colorado."
"Since we last visited Colorado, Lukas Simpson left the band, so we have invested a lot of time in developing our sound as a trio," Dan shared. "I'm very happy with how tight we've gotten. I think we all feel confident in ourselves and each other to keep the groove solid and bodies moving," he said.
"We love playing music for the beautiful people of Colorado," Eric said with a smile. "We plan to break out some new music and see a lot of old friends in Nederland, Denver, Fort Collins, and Boulder. I'm also looking forward to playing some new towns, such as Carbondale, Durango, and Grand Junction," he concluded.
Home to legendary music festivals such as Rockygrass and Telluride, and new-grass bands such as Leftover Salmon and Yonder Mountain String Band, the state's progressive views make it a great place for ELF to share their unique sound and experience. "Colorado seems to be at one of the epicenters of the Americana/Folk/Bluegrass scene, and we look forward to sharing our original music and take on traditional tunes in such a thriving music scene," said Dan. "Eric's precise flatpicking style, Pat's brilliant work on the mandolin and fiddle, and my approach to playing the bass makes for a pretty impressive sound and altogether great time."
From Chicago, IL, Eric Lambert & Friends are burning up the Americana scene and quickly becoming known for their interactive, improvisational music and high energy performances. The talented ensemble enjoys musical conversations among each other, creating a unique and inspiring experience. They are sweeping audiences off their feet, and bringing happiness and good times to everyone in their path through their rockin' original music.

Black Clothing
Black clothing fashion was invented by fat people to hide their bulges. Who's fallen for it? Thin young people, especially followers of metal music. Sucked in! Worst of all it's fashionable to wear black clothing by young people going out at night. Some are drunk pedestrians on the streets of Perth. Have you got a death wish? Do black cloth wearing groovers want to be the next road trauma statistic? Does wearing black clothing in the Australian sun make you feel cool and groovy?

Black clothing is always a trend.
We are dictated by the fashion industry what colour and fashion trend we are too wear.
Most trends lead from the cat walk down to the streets aimed at the young.
But then all clothing stores follow that trend and all sizes and ages have to wear that particular style and certain colour.
Makes me laught the pharse black is the new black brown, is the new black purple is the new black.
Yet to find a store that can carry the correct fitting sizes for women not alone more varirty in colours and styles is a task in its self.
The worst fashion was low waisted jeans and short t shirt tops. (thanks britney spears)
We had to suffer and wear short t shirts as that was all available let alone see many over weight people pushed towards that fashion trend. Now its longer tops for layering but now skinny leg jeans are the trend.
How does the fashion industry except half of the over weight population to get into skinny leg jeans.
We are in the middle of a weight issue surge across all walks of life in australia and we are told skinny leg jeans are in. So now we have to wait for the trend to disappear before the retailers bombard us with the next fashion trends.
The most pathetic trend was the edwardian look. come on... did any one wear this... in the middle of summer.
Black is not a suitable colour for summer but hey thats all we find in shops.. what ever the catwalk fashion designers tell us.. we have not choice... just go to Target and see what trend they follow... now its stella mcartneys clothing then sold on eaby

Trade Control and Expert System (TRACES)
The Trade Control and Expert System (TRACES) is a web-based service for the application for, and issuing of, Intra Trade Animal Health Certificates (ITAHCs) and Common Veterinary Entry Documents(CVEDs) for intra-Union trade and Third Country import trade in live animals, their products and germplasm. TRACES is the system used for notifying Member States of movements of live animals, germplasm and certain other commodities into or through their territories.
TRACES helps competent authorities in each Member State to meet the needs of their traders and their European Union (EU) animal and public health obligations.
As a guide, the EU Commission have issued online training manuals which demonstrate how each module of TRACES works. The training manual can be accessed by:
- Signing up to the EU Commission Europa website and accessing the TRACES toolkit.
- Obtaining a TRACES user account and accessing the training manuals via the TRACES toolkit in the information link.
- Requesting a copy of the relevant training manual from the Centre for International Trade - Carlisle.
Operational, veterinary and system development support – economic operators should seek support through their local Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) Office.
Further information for using TRACES to trade in animals and animal products can be found on GOV.UK.
See the Official EU TRACES website.
See also the guidance on creating Export Health Certification on TRACES for exports outside the EU.
Support documents
The support document pages include notes for guidance for economic operators and Official Veterinarians, checklists, and model owner's declarations.
Select the species or commodity to be exported to other EU Member States from the list below. From here you will be able to access all the necessary support documentation required to complete the relevant Intra Trade Animal Health Certificate (ITAHC).
- Livestock and livestock germplasm:
- Poultry and hatching eggs
- Other animals and their germplasm

I was raised in a family who, trying to live a strict Christian life, didn't even own a TV for most of my childhood years. We learned to value family time and game night and Bible reading together. Things I cherish now as an adult (although surprisingly I never despised them as a child either).
Now that I am grown with children of my own, I am having to make decisions about how they should be raised. What kinds of things they are going to be exposed to and possibly become addicted to. And so--the subject of "gaming" has come up. The only kind of game system I ever played was an Atari (at my friends house) and then as a young teenager, my brother and his family who came to live with us for a few months, brought their original (Super Mario Bro's/Duck Hunt) Nintendo. I had a great time playing that for those months but that was the end of it. Never again in all my years have I had the opportunity or desire to play any kind of video games again.
Well...to be completely correct and honest, a few years back we did borrow the Nintendo from my brother (they still had it after ALL these years!!) because we thought it would be fun to try out the old games again (Matt used to love Mike Tyson's Punch Out). We played it for a couple of days...but other than that, it's just been sitting in our spare bedroom.
Okay..so that brings us up to current...
Last night while I was busy, Matt and the kids got it out and started playing it. Brooklyn likes it but I think she could take it or leave it. Grant on the other hand...well, I just see this as a pivotal time. I'm either going to allow him to keep playing it and become "addicted" or I could start right now at this very fresh beginning and put limits on his playing time.
At the moment, its very convenient for him to be playing it because I am working (well, really, I was until I started blogging! ha ha) and he's having so much fun...hollering out to me every few minutes that he "got big" or "got killed" or whatever.
So, I'm wondering...what do you guys think about this? I know...everything within reason and in BALANCE is usually okay...but I wonder, how many of your kids are addicted to these machines? If I start letting my 4 year old play Nintendo...does that mean that by Christmas he'll be asking for a Wii or playstation or something?
Maybe this is something I don't even want to get started. Because honestly, I think playing video games (other than on occasion for a short period of time) is just a waste of brain cells and time. Yes, you can learn something from it...eye hand coordination or whatever...but you can also learn that from REAL things like riding your bike and playing outside and reading a book and stringing beads onto a necklace and so forth. I've always had a prejudice towards guys who sit and play video games for hours on a daily basis. To me, anything that requires you to sit for hours on your butt and do nothing productive (and doesn't pay) is just LAZY and USELESS.
So...what are your thoughts on this subject?

Fun and Games?????
I was raised in a family who, trying to live a strict Christian life, didn't even own a TV for most of my childhood years. We learned to value family time and game night and Bible reading together. Things I cherish now as an adult (although surprisingly I never despised them as a child either).

you're right there is balance with everything. as it goes is our household, we have a WII and 1) when we play it we play it as a family or 2) alex and elijah play together and it is never more than 30 min to an hour and then off it goes. it is fun & the boys have a blast playing. i say do what is best for your family. elijah has a v-smile for the tv and a hand held one. the hand held one has come in so handy from time to time just when we have long car rides or something. we also have a ps2 that we've had since before mark and i got married and we use it as our dvd player as well as play games too. so i don't really have a suggestion other than yes they can be addictive, but so can many other things. we have a great balance of outside time, reading, game time, tv time etc. just do what fits your family....

Chris won't allow the kids to have video games - at least not now. He thinks they should be outside playing.
But we recently played the Wii at our friends' house, and he thought that would be the best option if ever we were to get them something.
Oh yeah - Mason thinks we are the worst parents ever, but he'll get over it. Like you, I only had Atari and don't even remember playing it THAT much.

I am struggling with how I'm going to deal with this too. It's WAY too soon to be stressing about it but it definitely has crossed my mind. I think I'm with Tori...the time limit is the way to go. That way Grant can have it to look forward to as a reward and not see it as an everyday, all the time thing. And I know ya'll are outside a lot and doing fun family things, so that's great! Gotta keep a good balance between the outside time and the couch time. I can't wait until E is big enough to play ball and frisbee and ride bikes! I REALLY miss my bike-riding!

Tech Segment: Sniffing DECT for fun and Penetration Testing with Larry Pesce
Lest you believe DECT is a deli meat, DECT stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. [Mikep]
Sniffing DECT the dedected.org way
I'm always on the lookout for new ways to do recon for an assessment, or to be aware how folks could be performing recon against an organization. Being aware of recon methods helps n being able to make recommendations on potential exposure.
One of the things that can be highly successful for recon on a target is wireless. I'm not talking 802.11 wireless networks, but other wireless technologies; walkie talkies, cordless phones, etc.
Yes, cordless phones. We've talked about wireless headsets in the 900mhz range in the past, and we've even discussed assessments where they have been successful for gaining network credentials. Just use your programmable radio scanner outside of your target's call center, and boom!
There are plenty of other places that I note that cordless phones are in use. I cant recall the number of times that I'm in a small to mid to large business, often a franchise, and the manager on duty is carrying a cordless phone. I've witnessed them answer the phone to talk to customers, co-workers in another location, or even the tech support folks when they have computer issues (SCORE!).
Be careful here. In your jurisdictions it may be illegal to intercept cordless phone conversations
Of course, this is easy with 900 Mhz phones/headsets and your police scanner. 2.4 and 5.8 Ghz phones require a bit more work, such as modding appropriate scanner, or obtaining an older model scanner. Again, this may be illegal in your jurisdiction!
Don't forget about baby monitors! They come in all frequency flavors as well, and from the best I can tell, the legality is mostly different, as thy are not usually connected to telephone infrastructure. I'm not a lawyer, so check on the legality. (Boy, I sound like a broken record.
With the evolution of wireless communication gear, we get to upgrade to digital technology, or DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications). With this move to digital transmissions, our police scanner is of little use. Even now, enterprise telecom infrastructure providers are beginning to implement DECT in their gear. Think call center again...
Enter the deDECTed Project and the Dosh Amand DECT PCMCIA cards.
The deDECTed folks created an app to be able to interface with specific Dosh Amand DECT cards, and turn them into DECT sniffers. The software is readily available from dedected.org, but the PCMCIA cards are a little bit more difficult to acquire. Assuming we can get ahold of a card, let's configure deDECTed and capture us some audio - with permission of course!
A big thanks to Twitchy for loaning me his DECT PCMCIA card, as well as pointing me down the right path with deDECTed.
What you'll need:
- A linux installation with build environment
- A Dosh Amand COM-ON-AIR Type 2 PCMCIA Card
Let's get started. First we need to obtain a copy of deDECTed from SVN:
$ svn co https://dedected.org/svn/trunk dedected
Then we need to change into the new dedected directory and begin compiling our tools. We'll be specifying just the tools directory here, as the rest of the project includes some other items that we aren't concerned with at the moment, such as the Kismet plugin.
$ cd /dedected/com-on-air_cs-linux $ make && make -C tools
Once the compilation of the tools directory has completed, we need to make our drivers and create the system device. We now need to execute two more make commands, as root to do this
# make load # make node
A NOTE OF WARNING: After the system has detected and identified the PCMCIA card, do not eject the card; the system will instantly kernel panic. It is a known issue and know you know.
We then can verify that DECT goodies are showing up by issuing dmesg, and looking at the end of the output. Once we have verified that the system can see the card we now need to fire up the CLI interface appropriately named dect_cli. We need to be root to do so, in order to be able to access the raw device (or change the permisions on the device with "chmod 666 /dev/coa")
$ cd tools # ./dect_cli
Now we have access to the dect_cli console. It doesn't give you a nice prompt, just a blank line, waiting for input. Let's give it a few commands:
This will set verbose output ON. Now, here in the US we need to set the appropriate channel range for "DECT 6.0". Otherwise, in other countries, you'll likely skip this step (But, what is to prevent someone from brining a US model abroad?)
In order to channel hop, auto discover calls and record them to pcap output, we use the following command:
This starts the channel hopping, and auto call recording. YET ANOTHER NOTE: At this time while auto call detection and recording is happening you still have access to the command line. In order to properly write out the pcap files you need to issue:
It you don't the pcap files can be improperly terminated. I actually missed my first couple of recordings because I forgot to do this, and it didn't write any files at all.
Well, ok that's cool. We now have some pcap files, but how do I listen to them? the deDECTed folks have included some conversion tools to make .ima files. We also will want to convert them to .wav, so we will ned a few more tools, decode and sox.
I installed sox using apt-get, so this one will vary by os. I used:
# apt-get install sox
We also need a modified version of decode from http://www.ps-auxw.de/g72x++.tar.bz2. Here is how I obtained and compiled:
$ wget http://www.ps-auxw.de/g72x++.tar.bz2 $ bzip2 -d g72x++.tar.bz2 $ tar -xvf g72x++.tar $ cd g72x $ ./build.sh
After the build we can use the following script to use decode and sox to output wav files. Don't forget to update the script to reflect the current paths for sox, decode-g72x, and pcap2stein (from the deDECTed tools) on your system. Here's the script form the deDECTed project (at https://dedected.org/trac/wiki/COM-ON-AIR-Linux):
SOX=/usr/bin/sox for i in `/bin/ls -1 *.pcap` ; do ./pcapstein $i done #decoder for g.721 for i in *.ima ; do cat $i | ./decode-g72x -4 -a | sox -r 8000 -1 -c 1 -A -t raw - -t wav $i.g721.wav; done #decoder for g.726.R for i in *.ima ; do cat $i | ./decode-g72x -64 -l -R | sox -r 8000 -2 -c 1 -s -t raw - -t wav $i.g726.R.wav; done #decoder for g.726.L for i in *.ima ; do cat $i | ./decode-g72x -64 -l -L | sox -r 8000 -2 -c 1 -s -t raw - -t wav $i.g726.L.wav; done
Once converted, listen away, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Hopefully the audio is not common drivel often found on personal phone calls or on baby monitors. Here's hoping for credentials on all of your assessments!
Tech Segment: Mick Douglas loves Kon-Boot
If you're anything like me you hate having to do password cracking via brute force. So you "cheat" and use things like dictionary files or rainbow tables... and that's cool. I use them quite often.
But what if there were an easier way? What if there were a great way to just bypass authentication altogether? That my friends is the magic of Kon-Boot. Just boot and go! Really, it's that easy! Try it yourself and see.
But wait there's more! It works on both Windows and Linux!! Hotness!
So now next time you have a machine that you need to pwn, (with written permission first!) reach for this handy-dandy tool. You'll be glad you did, I know I am.
(Thanks John for suggesting this as a topic. Thanks Paul for bringing this into my awareness)
Stories For Discussion
- Pwning your iPhone 140 characters at a time. - [Larry] - Good ole Charlie Miller talked about vulnerabilities in the iPhone via processing SMS messages. While they are limited to 140 characters, they iPhone will reassemble...and the SMS app runs as root.
- McGrew, McGraw, McGruff? - [Larry] - Wesley McGrew tuned over information that leads to the arrest of an alleged hacker - who was a contracted security guard for a medical facility. Insert discussion on the insider threat here...
- Didier eats PDFs for breakfast - [Larry] - I mean seriously, Didier appears to have taken it upon himself to find more ways to abuse the PDF spec, this time by hiding embedded files inside the document, with valid tags, that are then rendered invalid. Hmm, this sounds like a great way to either exfiltrate or infiltrate data....
- Managing firewall rules can be a nightmare - [Larry] - Wow, think about all of these scenarios for managing firewall rules. I can see how this can get out of hand, and opening up issues as time progresses, especially in larger environments.
- FBI typically uses National Security Letters along with a gag order, but when challenged by EFF, instead issues a classified declaration that justifies the gag order - [mikep] - EFF issues WTF?! in response.

smoking, inhalation and exhalation of the fumes of burning tobacco in cigars and cigarettes and pipes. Some persons draw the smoke into their lungs; others do not. Smoking was probably first practiced by the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere. Originally used in religious rituals, and in some instances for medicinal purposes, smoking and the use of tobacco became a widespread practice by the late 1500s. Tobacco was introduced into Europe by the explorers of the New World; however, many rulers prohibited its use and penalized offenders. By the end of the 19th cent. mass production of cigarettes had begun, and the smoking of cigarettes became prevalent as the use of cigars and pipes declined. Despite controversy as to the effects of smoking and bans on smoking by certain religious groups, the use of tobacco continued to increase.

Kobayashi Kiyochika started out creating caricatures and humorous illustrations after his meeting with Charles Wirgman, journalist of the London Illustrated News and founder of the satirical periodical Japan Punch. From 1876 to 1881 Kiyochika created a succession of engravings about everyday Tokyo life, 'Kosenga'. This series was followed by a historic series (1882-1893) and a series of paintings dealing with the conflicts of Japan with Russia and China (1894-1905).
At the same time he made numerous illustrations published in magazines such as Maru Maruchinbun, Shinban Sanju ni Menso and Kyoiku Iroha Tango. In 1894 he founded his own school, Kiyochika Gajuku.

I came across this video today of a iRobot create robot autonomously navigating a hallway using a standard laptop webcam. The guidance software centers the robot on the perceived vanishing point, which can be picked up from visual cues like wall and floor lines, allowing the robot to cruise in a direct path down the center of the hall.
For implementing higher level network task of maintaining connectivity in the deployed sensor network, the mobile node (iRobot Create) must navigate through the indoor environment. Using only the laptop camera as a sensor we implemented the navigation and localization system.
Navigation uses vanishing point extracted from the corridor walls and edges. Robust Navigation is credit due to Pratap Tokekar. I worked on localization with fiducial (cones) and helped the robot estimate its position by measuring range from the cone-landmarks.
More from Pratap's blog:
I was responsible for vision-based navigation of the robot within the hallways. I used the vanishing points from the parallel lines present indoors to compute the robot heading. This was then fed into a controller to control the direction of the robot for navigation. The computation was made robust to change in light conditions, false detections, occlusions by a layered filtering approach that included RANSAC and least squares filtering among others.
I'm impressed with how well this works, and it seems like it wouldn't be too painful to implement for a special-case hallway rover like this. Pratap's project report has a lot of details about how the vanishing point detection system works. Check it out if you'd like to implement something like this yourself.
If anyone has other examples of vanishing point guidance, please leave a comment.

Well, I guess fall is well under way, most of the pretty leaves are on the ground now! I'm a little behind on getting this post up I guess. Fall is by far my favorite season. After a hot and sticky summer, the weather feels great, the colors are so pretty, I love sweaters, and I got married in the fall! Unfortunately, I was sick during the best part this year (I am getting a flu shot next September for sure!), so I didn't get to venture out and photograph as much as I had wanted to, but I was able to make it out a couple of mornings for a little walk and managed to get some shots. They were mostly taken at Shawnee Mission Park near where I live. Here are a few of my favorites...Enjoy!

Milburn (Nee: ) | Rochester NY United States | 1851-1900 | Comments: *** PLEASE NOTE: Photograph was copied from eBay and I do not have the original, nor any additional information. All identifying and genealogical information was provided by the seller on eBay with the photograph. However, in *some* cases I may have done a little research on the name and added it to the comment field also as, "NOTE:", to help researchers with the photograph. *** MORTIMER E. MILBURN: This is a cabinet card of a cute child holding a pull toy. The toy is a horse and cart. The child is id'd on the reverse as "Mortimer E. Milburn, Age 2 yrs." It was taken in 1885 by R. M. Furman, photographer of Rochester, N.Y. *** (NOTE: Quick census search finds a Mortimer Milburn in Rochester, Monroe County, NY on the 1900, 1910 & 1930 census. Mortimer was born March, 1883 in NY. Father's name was William H. Milburn, born 1847, Canada. Mother was Margarite or Margaretta, possible maiden name "Curran" born 1860, NY. It appears Mortimer was an only child, per various census. His father died before 1910, and it appears his mother may have died before 1930. Mortimer worked for the railroad in 1930, he is single and appears to have not married by that time (age 47.) His aunt, "Elizabeth Curran" (mother's sister) is living in the household from the 1910 census to the 1930 census. It appears the Milburn's originated in England, and the Curran's in Ireland and Scotland.
