they are supplying this:

Includes Parrot AR Drone 2.0 with blank outdoor hull and decal sheet.

After reading about how hackers would be able to take over the Parrot AR drones that Amazon were talking about using... I can just imagine some PETA activist meeting up with a hacker who has a penchant for hunting or fishing.

Take it over, land it, strip off the hull and put your own on it. And then say that you were using the parrot to try and spot game :)

Or you could just scare up a bird in the direction of the drone and blow the thing away.

One way or another some arsehole is out $325 plus shipping.

RIAA Wants Its $222,000 Verdict Back 203

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The RIAA, unhappy with the Court's decision setting aside its $222,000 jury verdict over $23.76 worth of song files, and throwing out the legal theory on which it was based, has made a motion for permission to file an appeal from the Judge's order, in Capitol v. Thomas. Normally, only final judgments are appealable, and appeals are not permissible in federal court from 'interlocutory' orders of that nature."

As a computer security masters candidate, I agree with the idea of teaching the "white hats" how to think like the "black hats" and to have the same sort of skill sets.

How else are we supposed to learn how to protect against crackers if we dont know what they actually do. How are we supposed to do pen testing if we cant crack systems ourselves.

I learnt how to crack in a secure lab with no connection to the rest of the internet once we had setup the computers. We got advised before we even started learning how to pingflood a computer that if we used any of the skills we learnt outside of the room while we were still studying, we would be handed over to the federal police in Australia.
