Kon-Boot is an prototype piece of software which allows to change contents of a linux kernel (and now Windows kernel also!!!) on the fly (while booting). In the current compilation state it allows to log into a linux system as 'root' user without typing the correct password or to elevate privileges from current user to root. For Windows systems it allows to enter any password protected profile without any knowledge of the password. It was acctually started as silly project of mine, which was born from my never-ending memory problems :) Secondly it was mainly created for Ubuntu, later i have made few add-ons to cover some other linux distributions. Finally, please consider this is my first linux project so far :) Entire Kon-Boot was written in pure x86 assembly, using old grandpa-geezer TASM 4.0.

« Standardization and Interoperability in Security Learning By Doing: Challenges, Data Sets, and Practice Sites » What’s in Your Folder: Security Cheat Sheets Aug 15th, 2009 by John Gerber On my desk is a folder containing all sort of cheat sheets relating to security, operating systems, and various web applications. Many a times, these quick references have helped me remember particular options and information that are all too easily forgotten. These guides are also very useful in any training program, helping remind students of the essential information.

It’s a relatively easy thing for computers to “see” video, but “computer vision” goes a step further, applying a wide range of techniques by which computers can begin to understand and process the content of a video input. These techniques tend toward the primitive, but they can also produce aesthetically beautiful results. The best place to start with computer vision has long been the standard library, OpenCV. A free (as in beer and freedom) library developed by Intel and with ongoing use in a variety of applications, OpenCV is a terrific, C/C++-based tool not just for things like motion tracking, but video processing in general. OpenCV gets a lot of support in the C++-based

It’s just US$40, and it’s your best ticket to creating your own computer vision and augmented reality projects, imagining stuff before big game console makers do. It’s the Sony PlayStation 3 Eye. Sony intended it to be used with their flagship game console. (The guy working at my local GameStop looked emotionally dejected when I told him I don’t actually own a PS3.) But thanks to community-developed, open-source drivers for all three platforms, the PS3 Eye has become a big choice for interactive applications, from tracking fingers and objects on tables to projection mapping and augmented reality.

9.04(RT), Pulse Audio, Alsa, CPU load et al. PulseAudio is to be the default Ubuntu audio server. That would be nice if it did not come with some alarming performance hits that might not directly be the fault of the PulseAudio application. The plethora of overlapping sound tools, and the very awkward ways they have to try and live together is now a problem for me, since going up these learning curves is a big distraction to the main mission (the music). I ducked that option (remove ubuntu desktop) by keeping PulseAudio installed, but prevented from starting.
