Crypto.cat
Crypto.cat, new secure chat venue. This brought to my attention by a co-worker. Great idea and I love the video below. I don't go on chat rooms now adays, but this is a great idea for those who still chat. So if you or anyone you know still enjoy chatting on chat rooms go check out Crypto.cat
Malicious Profiles - The Sleeping Giant of iOS Security
As I'll further discuss in this post, there is another way to create havoc on one's device, which may be comparable to sophisticated malware, without actually installing a program on the device.
Malware is prevalent. Mobile malware is on the rise. We are used to the perception that Android users are always under the threat of being attacked by malware and therefore should be highly suspicious about the software they install, while iOS users are immune and can enjoy the freedom of installing whatever they want without hesitation, due to Apple's "walled-garden" approach. Well... this isn't exactly the case.

Very interesting post on Tripwire
Very interesting video on a post on Tripwire about Open Source tools that could be used for a variety of things and ways.
This is the link to the Tripwire post - - > LINK
My take away from this is that it's a bit scary the amount of data an individual can gather on someone they don't even know using various methods from search engines to using tools such as the ones mentioned in this video. I can't help but to let my mind wonder into the social engineering concept use of these tools.
Update: I haven't posted in FOREVER. It's partially due to me being lazy, losing interest, life and work. My job is having me relocate which is cool and makes you feel somewhat important. The relocation was and wasn't mandatory. For better opportunity for me to learn more and expand in my carrer and for better company growth I had to move. Hope this move is the right move for me to grow withing the AntHill.
