- ruxcon
 - ruxcon 2k4 ended last Sunday. It was absolutely fantastic! On the second day I managed to:
- buy a ruxcon t-shirt. I thought they ran out!
 - participate in CTF and managed to crash .20's sshd :P
 - went in the THC trivia with profx, aday, zardoz and others, and won!
 - due to winning trivia, got myself a copy of Hacker's Delight.
 - got really familiar with knoppix-std
 
Productive no? :)
Ruxcon was an immensely educational experience, some memorable talks included:- hiding data in file system grey areas (FIST'ing any one?)
 - hybrid approach to network monitoring (PAPmap)
 - social engineering, with real life examples
 
Kudos to the ruxcon crew for organising such a fantastic event! They even subsidised the drinks at the end :D - deviations
 - For some unknown reason that strangely makes sense, I was more productive in the last week of 6 work days then I ever was. Pushed out 3 more deviations, all vectors, which I am coming to love. Its very *me* :)
 - reverse-vw
 - It was only natural, the night after ruxcon I a program for reversing the virtual world hash austnet uses to protect its users. Nothing exciting, but it works :) I'll upload later tonight when I am finally happy with the code.
 
Thats more or less it, not very exciting is it :S Now to get back to this lava lamp I have agreed to do for ~beef... grr..
