Wondering why my bio section isn't showing up on my user page. It was working a month ago, but today there is no link to my CredMe profile.

The IDA Pro Book 85

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday October 29, 2008 @12:49PM from the read-all-about-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After attending DEFCON in August and seeing the overwhelming interest in this book, I was eager to dive into The IDA Pro Book by Chris Eagle. Chris Eagle's team, School of Root, won the 'Capture the Flag' event at DEFCON this year and Chris gave a presentation on CollabREate, a tool that integrates with IDA Pro to allow collaboration in reverse engineering (RE). All of that — together with the fact that the book sold out — screamed that this book should quickly make it to the top of my list." This review originally appeared on The Ethical Hacker Network.

The study, 'Analyzing Web Sites For User-Visible Security Design Flaws,' examined 214 bank Web sites in 2006. It was conducted by University of Michigan computer science professor Atul Prakash and doctoral students Laura Falk and Kevin Borders."

I've been lucky enough to afford two weeks off in a tropical country each year for the last five years. On all five trips I've left the cell phone and pager at home and stayed at places that don't have television, phones in the rooms or Internet connectivity.

The first time I did this it felt really strange to be disconnected from "the world", but now I look forward to it.

BTW, Fiji has been the best location so far. http://www.matamanoa.com/
