DSL on QEMU, just what I wanted :)

Image
Just made a cool clip (below) that I'm going to follow up by getting DSL (Damn Small Linux) running on QEMU, an emulator for running virtual machines. I want this cos there are some nice Bluetooth security apps only available for Linux. clipped from software.newsforge.com Damn Small Linux If you want to run a full-fledged Linux desktop from your USB key, look no further than Damn Small Linux (DSL). This slim Linux distribution fits on a 128MB USB key, and it contains all the applications you are likely to need on the move. Better yet, Damn Small Linux is available with the QEMU emulator, which allows you to run DSL from within Windows. Download the file dsl-embedded.zip from one of Damn Small Linux's mirrors , unzip the file, and launch QEMU by double-clicking on the dsl-windows.bat file. Admittedly, running DSL using QEMU is a painfully slow affair, but it does allow you to run Linux without leaving Windows and rebooting the computer.  

Bluetooth security tools

Clipped this piece referring to 2 Bluetooth security tools. Gotta check these out. clipped from www.pdabuzz.com Two Bluetooth hacking tools released By Lue Simcoe :: 2390 Views :: Hidattack -lets attackers hijack a Bluetooth keyboard, and BTCrack could give an attacker full access to two connected Bluetooth devices.  Since Bluetooth is being more commonly used, more confidential data is being transferred.  Collin Mulliner, developer of Hidattack states,  "An attacker Bluetooth 'scans' for a PC in an interesting location, say, in a bank, which has an active Bluetooth HID driver running.   Once he finds a victim PC, the attacker's PC becomes a Bluetooth keyboard, which basically is like sitting in front of the victim's PC.  The attacker now has full control and therefore can do whatever he wants."

TEA

Image
Caught sight of this article on making tea on the bbc website. Had to clip some bits of it and pop it on me blog clipped from www.bbc.co.uk Tea One or two Americans have asked me why it is that the English like tea so much, which never seems to them to be a very good drink. To understand, you have to know how to make it properly. There is a very simple principle to the making of tea and it's this - to get the proper flavour of tea, the water has to be boil ing (not boi led ) when it hits the tea leaves. The Americans are all mystified about why the English make such a big thing out of tea because most Americans have never had a good cup of tea . In fact the truth of the matter is that most English people don't know how to make tea any more either, and most people drink cheap instant coffee instead, which is a pity, and gives Americans the impression that the English are just generally clueless about hot stimulants.

What do you think Snoop's reaction was?... "Yo queenie, I'm a come on over fuck yo shit up fool..." clipped from www.people.com Tour 'Chaos' After UK Bars Snoop Dogg A European tour of Diddy and rapper Snoop Dogg has been thrown "into chaos" after Snoop was refused a British visa, reps say. Diddy and Snoop have performed throughout Europe and were due to play at London's Wembley Arena on March 27. Reps for Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, say they are furious. Asked about the ban, a government spokeswoman told PEOPLE: "The Home Office does not comment on individual cases. The Home Secretary has the power to refuse entry clearance to non-UK citizens if he considers that their presence here would not be conducive to the public good." It is believed the entry problems stem back to a skirmish at London's Heathrow Airport last April when Snoop and his posse were en route to Johannesburg, South Africa. Seven police officers
