It has the advantage of compiling to native machine code, unlike .NET C# which is dependent on the common lang...

We’ve been having a problem with people that want to play with Security Onion or RITA at home. If a home router does not have a mirror port it can be difficult to try cool/free network monitoring tools. Sure, one could buy another router that has those features.

Being successful takes enormous amounts of up-front setup and knowledge in quickly evolving phishing tactics. While there is always a need to craft a custom email, the most considerable amount of work is setting up an infrastructure to make it all work. Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a pla...
