Security Collection (All in 1)

One of my creepy monsters - Wanda

I've started using Windows again for most of my work, but I miss a lot some little tweaks from the Ubuntu environment. Although I have several virtual machines it's a bit stupid to start a virtual machine only because of those tweaks.

One of the programs I missed a lot in Windows environment is 'fortunes' and its wrapper called Wanda the fish. So I decided to create Windows Wanda port. Actually it's not a port, but it's Windows app, that works with Linux fortune files. That's all.
It's only in beta state and the tray icon is not animated as it should be.

Enjoy!

Skype Chat Logs Dissection

Target software: Skype for Windows/Linux

What's all about?

Did you ever tried to export all your Skype history? It's a little bit boring to copy and paste every conversation in separate text file, isn't it? It's even worse if you use the Linux version of this famous chat client.

Did you ever wondered if it's possible to read your Skype chat history without having to be logged into your Skype account? And did you ever wondered if it's possible to read someone else's chat history without having to use Skype client and without knowing Skype account passwords?

Nice list about IT security "DON'T ever"

Just found by accident one very nice article in SANS website with the following cool title:
"How to suck at IT security". The list writen down by Lenny Zeltser is worthy to be red so ... have fun!
