Hi Everyone. There is a disturbance in the force! You may recall a couple weeks ago that MS started recommending Nmap on some of their web pages. That was strange, but I did not foresee the anomalous omens that would ensue. Like almost any self-respecting geek, I bought tickets to 'Matrix: Reloaded' several weeks back (no spoilers, I promise). After all, who can resist the combination of philosophical mind games and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) in that tight leather bodysuit? So after waiting an hour in a line snaking out of the theatre to the parking lot, I finally got in to my 10pm Wednesday showing. All was going well until Trinity needed to do some hacking. Oh, no! I was sure we'd see a silly "Hackers"-esque 3D animated "hacking scene". Not so! Trinity is as smart as she is seductive! She whips out Nmap (!!!), scans her target, finds 22/tcp open, and proceeds with an über ssh technique! I was so surprised, I almost jumped out of my seat and did the "r00t dance" right there in the theatre! There can be only one explanation: Carie-Anne has the hots for me! Now your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to secure a screen-shot of that few-second episode! Not only is it important for the coolness factor, but we can learn how Nmap looks in the future by studying that output! So perhaps some of you gray hats in the audience have a quality DivX/MPG of the movie already? Let me know if you do (but no 2GB email attachments please!) Or perhaps someone could sneak a quiet flashless digital camera into the theatre and take a shot. But you must react quickly as it is literally only up for a few seconds (Nmap is actually fast in the future). Do this, and you will prove that you are truly "the one"! I'll also put your name and a thumbnail on the front page of Insecure.Org if you send in the best shot. In other news, a few people have inquired about further survey results. Sorry I have been so slow, but things have been very busy. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to send more by next week. I hope to have a couple other announcements ready for next week as well!
