More Whax and Auditor hacking demos

I've scoured the net to locate every single movie and flash demo for Whax (formerly known as Whoppix) as well as Auditor. These are essentially hacker distros of Linux made to boot directly from a CD with no installation. Also, for those screaming dupe, the torrent actually works this time: http://members.cox.net/puzzlepants/whax.torrent

The New Project List

Well I have a list of definite projects I have to work on at work now.

Rebuild Spamshield solution
Create Webapp to interface with MySQL database
Redesign two company websites

Then I'm also going to be working on a business plan, marketing plan, and a sales plan. So I'm gonna start enlisting some help for that stuff.

As far as the projects go, The Spamshield is pretty much my company's attempt at an Anti-Spam offering. It never really made it out of development before it was sold and promoted though, so now I have to make it work.... which really means redo it. It was Gentoo based and I'll probably end up using Catalyst , after I get it how I want on the main machine, to create the installation CDs. The webapp I was thinking of using Ruby on Rails to build with (maybe cakePHP) , the current asp web front is in need of some feature overhaul. So instead of learning ASP and working with it, I decided to use Ruby on Rails and see where it will take me. The two company websites are for the company I work for and the parent company, they are pretty much in need of some help....badly. So I just have to see what my imagination comes up with on those.

Cisco Routers Ripe For The Picking

The new interview with Michael Lynn gives a little more meat to the whole story about the Cisco IOS having a very serious flaw, one more serious than they really wanted people to know. Our very infrastructure is dependent upon Cisco technologies and this right here could pose a serious problem for everyone. Of course it is still possible to get a copy of that presentation that everyone is trying to make disappear, however, a majority of the people won't really make heads or tails out of it. There are that select few though who could actually use that info to do harm.

RPMdb problem

I just had this issue after trying to do a yum update

rpmdb: PANIC: fatal region error detected; run recovery
error: db4 error(-30978) from dbenv->close: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run database recovery

To solve that problem I had to rebuild the rpm database located in /var/lib/rpm. I first deleted the __db files that were there and then I just ran rpm --rebuilddb. So rm /var/lib/rpm/__* && rpm --rebuilddb did the trick after I said yes to each db file I needed to delete.
