@kalina It looks like you really want to be a moderator. .. but WHY?

You don't seem the type

all that boring crap about maintaining community standards and all that.

Maintaining community standards, being welcoming to new members, being an ambassador for the community, etc.

@ScottPack Totally her.

Boom

@LucasKauffman Yep very good track, one of the few that I actually like the lyrics :P

@kalina Heh, sorry about the Winterbash thing.

@TerryChia did you figure out the Cusco level finally?

After I slept for the night, I figured out Hanoi in about 10 minutes.

But I don't even see HOW we can control the registers we need in Cusco

@KarthikRangarajan Nope, I went to do other stuff (like watch LOTR for the 2345677th time).

Probably gonna start working on it again soon after I finish writing a bit of code.

@TerryChia smart man. I've been staring at Cusco for the last 3 hours.

Hanoi was so ridiculously easy after I looked at it with fresh eyes.

coupled with your hint

@KarthikRangarajan It's probably something to do with the HSM.

well the odd thing is the code that does the interrupts behaves the same way for all interrupts.

so it has to be something in test_password_valid

Yeah. We'll figure it out eventually.

No need to rush it.

yeah the fact that there is no time limit on this is awesome.

@KarthikRangarajan I must say I'm completely stumped.

@KarthikRangarajan Took a while, but I figured out how it works. Still no idea how to exploit though.

@TerryChia I figured out that somehow r15 needs to get set

But I don't see any possible way that could happen

@KarthikRangarajan Hop over to the CTF room and I'll try to explain how I think it works.

@TerryChia meh, it happened, nothing can change that

@ScottPack I do the whole welcoming community members also, not to mention my epic reviewing/editing history

herro pree

@d3c4ff Oww you changed your username!! You finally switched to proper coffee? :D

@TildalWave hmm? Who is @d3c4ff now?

he's not here now, is he?

no, I superpinged :)

mod abuse lol

then.... why didnt it show the new name...?

One of you dictators wanna unprivate the CTF room?

didn't check, prolly didn't copy the changes to the chat account? Or it just didn't yet show... dunno

@TerryChia lol ok

done

we sucked on the last CTF didn't we?

@TildalWave Cheers :)

@TildalWave Yes we did. It was basically me and MMavipc doing it.

And I suck pretty badly at RE stuff which it was mostly about.

frankly, it was too difficult for me, there were no challenges that I'd feel confident in, and the rest were far from easy... I didn't learn a thing

@TildalWave Go do the Matasano one. Having real fun doing it.

yeah lots of RE and convoluted challenges

@TerryChia don't have the time now, it's gonna be up still for the weekend, right?

@TildalWave It's pretty much going to be up until they decide to take it down.

that says a lot :P

you guys talking about the CTF at the weekend?

how was it?

@deed02392 Really bad. :P

We couldn't do any of it.

damn

what kinda stuff was on it?

Mostly reverse engineering and exploitation.

asm reversing?

Yep.

ahhh

we're too young for that :P

@deed02392 Go play! microcorruption.com

oo, cool

Oh, I like this. Simple but funny: sadanduseless.com/2012/11/fb-troll-king

HI @RORY

Lo @SCOTT

how you doin'?

Ok. That's fantastic.

Not too shabby. We had a BSides yesterday that was quite fun.

@RoryAlsop hehe cool site, I ROFL-ed on this one:

have any of you guys experience in USB fuzzing?

@LucasKauffman Yes. Fuzzing is how I determine the orientation for inserting a USB device.

@TerryChia sniped

@LucasKauffman Psssh! I took the time to copy-paste the relevant part of nmap's help! ;)

Poor @RattleSnake. I'm VTC-ing every question he asks.

torrentfreak.com/…

@Lucas So, today I received my actual package from that German site. It was full of Leffe and Chimay.

I've always wanted to try Leffe Vieille Cuvée, and I've got two. I'm gonna test it tonight

@Adnan That sounds dirty.

@Adnan you should drink that with some nice cheese

@TerryChia Well, beer is rotten plants in water. Old beer just more so.

fdddddddd

why can we not remove that

@LucasKauffman Thanks for the recommendation.

Question of the week time!

So this is the secret place xD

I believe I should introduce myself

my name is Antonio and I'm from Spain =)

Hi Antonio

Do they write 'k's backwards in Spain?

sure

:P

I have to go, see you later =)

What is up my pretties?

@kiBytes Holas senor

@kiBytes Soy de Perú, soy la llama más sexy de mi país

@Griffin not much hows it hanging Griffin?

@LucasKauffman Got off school today :) . Work load right now is large. And lot in a web design competition :(

@Griffin web design? No problem, getbootstrap.com

@LucasKauffman That's my framework boy!

@LucasKauffman <3 Bootstrap. Couldn't do it tho. We had 2 hours.

Always fun when you are NOT looking to break stuff:

@ScottPack excellent - not sure if I'm getting to any this year

@RoryAlsop Yeah, saw a few good sessions. One was a couple of really excited guys talking about PowerShell.

@ScottPack well powershell is pretty cool...

@RoryAlsop Appsec EU is in Cambridge this year :)

you could combine with a holiday

@RоryMcCune It's always sounded really cool but I've had a hard time justifying looking into it.

@ScottPack well depends on how much windows based automation stuff you have to be doing....

@RоryMcCune Exactly.

@RоryMcCune This one was basically a fast paced teaching style of, "Here's a line of PowerShell, check out what it does. Now try this. See how awesome?" Twas nice to see a live demo

@ScottPack brave men!, live demos are dangerous...

@RоryMcCune I do like a good punt. And the kids love the war museum at Duxford

@RoryAlsop duxford is well cool

@RоryMcCune Last time I was there I saw 2 planes dad had actually flown, along with 4 other types he had experience in.

The first time I went there was for an awesome geek event - with the empeg guys

@RoryAlsop nice, s'been a while since I was down that way but we got lucky and had great weather for it and got a fly in the dragon rapide

We were hosted by Duxford, I think they were delighted to have Julf's WW2 pinky parked at the gate

In fact - some good pics of that event here

flickrhivemind.net/Tags/empeg

You'll see Claire with our youngest (who was a week or two old at the time) - for quite a while folks did not know we had brought a baby with us!

and this is Julf's Pinky:

@RoryAlsop that sounds dirtier than it actually is...

driving around behind them, with them dressed like that was fun

all the grenade and gun emplacements filled with beer and wine :-)

Oh, I'd forgotten this quote:

Good times!

@RoryAlsop looks like it was a lot of fun!

@RоryMcCune Good geeks. With lasers, cannon, home made jet engines, UAV's, robots - you name it!

oh, and beer

and punts

did I tell you we've sighted pine martens and badgers in the garden

set up an outdoors night-vision webcam

@RоryMcCune nice! And the crossbow has been tested?

Oh, right - cameras, yes that's what I meant

@RоryMcCune No doubt. It was well planned. You could tell they set everything up and ran it in advance so that during the talk they could just click on the right tab, hightlight and hit run.

and found the pine marten eating the squirrel/bird nuts

@RоryMcCune that's what they do

@RoryAlsop well the badgers could get a little annoying as they dig stuff up but the pine marten is very cute

not sure the cats approve though...

Oh - quick explanation of this pic: Patrick, when messing with radio controlled aircraft did what most folks do and have the antenna attached to his hat so he gets best range when facing the aircraft. Got fed up with that so from scratch built a system with GPS on the plane and one in this device which calculates direction and elevation, and accurately tracks 4 phased-array antenna onto the target

Just cos he does that kind of thing

coooool geek

And cool car pics on the 2nd page of that filckr extract - I'm just reminiscing now...this is great

Love the Archers bit

@RoryAlsop it was quality.

like this

evening gents

Yaar

@RоryMcCune I'm laughing my pants off

@Adnan how was the beer?

mmm I think I'm getting snarkier again in my comments

Just updated metaltech.me for 2014

Enjoy

Ahm aff tae ma courie
