Forward:

I’m not new to blogging, and this is not my first blog, however after running “securityenthusiast”, and being confined by discussing only computer security, i realized that i needed a blog where i could talk about whatever, so rather then continuing that project i scrapped it and started up a new blog about anything i fancy to discuss. I will be reposting material from securityenthusiast, it was carefully written and good material that should not “disappear”. And there will be new content, hopefully fairly often

On security:

Information is meant to be shared, but sharing it infers having some sort of responsibility for it. I have tutorials aimed at showing someone how to use a security tool, but be warned, I do not encourage using anything i discuss to do anything that is not legal; while the information i share can tell you how to crack, you take the responsibility of using that information, and i suggest you use it for good, educational, research, testing your own or contracted security testing, rather then bad.
