Well, I figured I would drop off a few links for the blog and head back to class. I will be sparse for the next few months, as I have been for the previous, due to my eminent graduation and finalization of all my freelance projects. Enough of that, on to the links:
- Helix Forensics Toolkit
- Just a really nice toolkit, and free to boot. We had a professor come in and give a speech about forensics and he cited Encase as well as other industry standards. I wanted to learn a bit more about the tools, but I don’t have $2500 for a license so enter Helix, the free live CD for computer incident and forensic analysis.
- Geocaching
- I recently received a GPS receiver for a Christmas gift and I wanted to see what I could do with it. Well, Geocaching.com is a community of people who set up “treasure hunts” of sorts called “caches” that users can search for using GPS coordinates. I’ve done one so far, and I must say it’s great fun.
- Firebug
- Firebug is a Firefox extension which allows you to edit CSS, XHTML, as well as watch/debug live code in your browser. I really can’t explain how helpful this is, but it hasn’t replaced my Web Developer Toolbar and HTMLTidy plugins yet. The most useful piece thus far is the Net monitor that shows just how large your page is, and when AJAX processes start and stop.
