So, I have an active weekend again! :-). Friday Luca was at my place and we decided to redo the backgarden with the three of us (My father, Luca and myself). Luca loved the broom and seeing everyone work in the garden, he loved it when we gave him the opportunity to helpout, which resolved in a very neath and clean path behind our garden (it was almost a jungle if you would have seen the mess). So very productive, luckily there was not much sun since that could have spoiled all the fun. We also went to see my grandmother and she liked seeing Luca again. Four generations with eachother at that moment. Very beautiful to see. Especially when Luca hid in the closet again (he seems to like that, he can be very silent when he does so and does not move) :-). When I brought him home there was no one at the house yet, but before I had my mobile, his grandparents were already driving up the lane so that was a great timing :-)Yesterday my dad and I redid the front garden, removed all junk and cleaned the path in front of the garden, I also took the path of both my neighboors and it looks very clean now 
I liked it.Today my dad and I will cleanup the backgarden itself, so that we match the path behind the garden. It will be a long day today hehe, we also noticed that probably the weather will change, so we hope to be done before the weather is going bad.And last but not least; I worked on check_honeynet and it seems to finally work now I got some weird little bugs which I will resolve on the site later on today, but they were fixed now. Lance used the script in production and we removed some outdated mirrors already. We also got some feedback which was good! And I got feedback from Arjan de Mol for the hashes I use, I will probably implement those today. For my FreeBSD items please see my “FreeBSD blog”.I am pretty sure that I have a rather big announcement to make in the near future… Continue reading »

I released version 1.4 from the honeynet check mirror script. New features: CC address, normal reporting, verbose and debug logging, general cleanup (as far as possible). It also contains a bugfix which is still present in 1.3 (You should update if you use this script), the LWP routine did not wanted to fetch an external file when the get function was called without ‘http://’ in it. This was added in version 1.4, you can find this file in the downloads section here.

Well, no much updates from me lately. Been busy doing other things, living my life and simply being happy with the love of my life and our child (Luca). This does not mean however that i stopped doing things for the internet, FreeBSD and other resources like Honeynet. I wrote a new script for them and posted it on the site. Please check it out and send me any comments that you might or might not have. It is a very simple script , basically my first custom written application which is not for myself but for others and I kinda liked it, esp. since most of what i wrote was the first time i did things like that.I am still very novice in perl application writing, so again.. please provide feedback!Check_Honeynet -v1.1.pl is located here.

With just a couple of hours to go untill it is 2006, I (Remko Lodder) would like to wish all my readers (And that were a lot of people over the last year) the very best for 2006. I hope that i can continue to bring interesting stories, developments etc in the upcoming year, as well as mentioning some parts of my private life that i want to share with you.
Ofcourse 2006 will be the one of the undiscovered vulnerabilities, the one more dangerous then the other, we should try to remain aware and properly document issues that might arise and properly solve them as well.
For now: The very best wishes!

As a computer ’specialist’ (What is a specialist anyway?) i tend to get a lot of questions. A large part of those questions had been asked a gazillion times already, so i decided to denote those items and place them into my own little Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) list. Ofcourse it is incomplete, so feel free to give me a couple of suggestions to add to the list. This will help others and save us from getting the same question over and over again (although this will not prevent it, we have a nice pointer where people can find interesting information, once it is a bit bigger :))
