Report for July 3rd 2009

I’m not entirely sure what the turn up was tonight, as I wasn’t there (celebrating my wife ‘s birthday), but I’m told about 3 or 4 people made it out (in the I must marvellous summer evening, shame on more people who didn’t).

Here is a quick report as kindly supplied by Tamonten:

Airport security: Some airports are more twitchy* than others, does
being allowed to carry liquids as far as the boarding gates make for
happier passengers or move the target for terrorists? Slot machines and
margaritas make for a fun airport layover, but not a great long haul
flight when you wake up.

Hunting Rouge APs: Stop looking at your screen once in a while you might
be on top of the AP, literally. A photo of the AP > a mark on a map. No,
you can’t have Digininjas room key.

Physical security: Careful where you place those trees, you might be
providing cover for nefarious types to cut that chain link at their
leisure. New job = fun testing how far into a building you can get
before being ID’d without having to worry about the consequences.

RFID: Reverse engineering protocols by MITMing with two USB readers, and
the best way to hide them using your sleaves and a fat wallet.
