mask.of.sanity writes: The Wikileaks-hating, cyber terrorist-fighter The Jester (th3j35t3r) has reportedly been unmasked by a former US army colleague who claims to have served alongside the hacker in the US Special Operations Command.

Twitter user cubespherical uploaded what they claimed to be a direct message exchange with The Jester in which they claimed to release the hackers' resume once a donation of 20,000 BitCoins was received.

The BitCoins would be donated to Wikileaks and help cubespherical "hide".

I've already installed a great SSH client (that does RDP and VNC too), nessus client, and my VPN is all setup and good to go. What other iPad apps are out there for doing pen testing and the like? No metasploit for iPad yet?

Recently Microsoft and Google have upped the ante against Dropbox and Apple with their latest offerings. The offerings range from free to premium services, also known as the “freemium” model. Amazon also has some interesting benefits, such as unlimited music storage which I have started to use. Finally Box which also competes in the space for “personal” cloud storage may be better suited for company or team based scenarios. In this post I will cover some of the pros and cons of each and some common scenarios for usage. I will also discuss what you get for free, and what some extra charges will get you an how much it will cost (measured in gigabytes per month)."
