Tonight for dinner we started with some grilled cheese sandwiches:
Then fried up some burgers on the griddle:
Then add some more cheese and put it all together:
And you have a Fatty Patty:
That one’s my wife’s.
Now I figure, everything’s better with bacon:
And so I present to you the Bacon Fatty Patty:
Hush now, I’m eating!
Bask in it’s juicy, greasy, cheesy, beefy, bacon-filled goodness and be filled!

In case anyone out there is interested, I’ve updated my resume to include recently obtained degrees and certifications. Specifically, a couple of months ago I managed to obtain OSCP status, and today I graduated with my Associate of Science in Information Technology.
I’m continuing on to achieve my Bachelor’s by next summer and I hope to obtain another certification or two this year.
So, if anyone is looking for either an entry-level infosec position, or an experienced sysadmin position, check out my resume and drop me an email.

As I was perusing the Net this evening I discovered SmashTheStack was hosting a team-based CTF-style WarGame. Teams are given a remote box and need to secure it, but are required to keep at least 3 services at all times. Teams are given 24 hours to secure their boxes. After the grace period each team will attack the other teams’ boxes while defending their own. The goal is to take control of the other teams’ boxes and lock them out. Last man standing wins.
Personally, this sounds like a blast but I have no team. So who wants to hack with me?
I’m looking for up to four people willing to join me in this endeavor. I’m looking for people who have some experience in similar types of events. I will admit that I still have a lot to learn, though I do have some experience. Specifically, I have obtained my OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional) from Offensive Security. I also went to the Louisville Metro Infosec in 2009 and got 3rd place in their CTF. I’ve been working in IT for over a decade now and currently work as a sysadmin for a small/medium size organization (~50 users). I’m also going to school and taking other steps to focus my IT career more on InfoSec.
If this sounds like fun and you want to get to know some new people comment to this post and let me know you’re interested and what kind of experience you may have. I’m looking for people with some experience and are just looking to have some fun. Details of the event can be found here. Teams will be announced a week before the event, so we would need to form our team by the end of this week and get our application in.
So, wanna hack with me?

I’ve been asked for some good links to help learn x86 Assembly. The main source I have been using is “Programming from the Ground Up” by Jonathan Bartlett. The target audience for this book is people who don’t already have any programming experience. It begins by explaining the basics of how a computer works, how the processor and memory work. Then it goes through some basic Assembly, and later moves on to loops and functions similar to other programming books. I haven’t finished it, but so far I’ve found it a great resource.
Another resource I’ve found but haven’t spent much time on is Webster’s Art of Assembly Language, which basically amounts to a list of other useful resources, including useful resources for Win32 Assembly.
Since my focus is on exploit development, the Assembly Language Primer for Hackers on SecurityTube is also an excellent resource. This is a video resource that walks you through the basics of assembly, the stack, and eventually moves on to another series that gives the anatomy of a Buffer Overflow in the Buffer Overflow Primer.
And of course, if you ever need more resources, there’s Google.
