This past years comic con festival.
Comic Con: 2014 /
The Best Office Setup /
This was my setup at Endpoint. #beepboopbeepboop
Wasp Attack /
Summer 2014: The weather is amazing, the sun is beaming, I am sitting on my stoop, waiting for a cab to the city for some site seeing & photo opportunities. Out peripheral view, I notice a wasp shooting in and out of site, and that ever familiar 'buzz' that accompanies. This wasp however was special, her BOOTY was coloured similarly to the flowers I have on my stoop there. I thought it was amazing!! I think she thought differently, as soon as I made the comment on her BOOTY, she came in for the sting. <3
Blue Jay Siting in Backyard /
She was puffing up for me, showing off. So cute LOLZ <3
RDP Packet of Death (?) /
Proof of concept execution of an exploit which takes advantage of the RDP Maximum Channel ID's bug. This flaw is highly dangerous for example if enabled on a LAN where a party with nefarious purposes is present. The risk in this flaw lies in it's ability to invoke a blue screen (of death) in Windows versions up to 7. I haven't yet tested on Windows 8 but I will soon have it added to my lab for testing. I have run into situations where the vulnerability is not available, but it's on one of my co-workers PC's (he agreed to the testing), and I suspect he has some fancy routing work going on which disables the exploit.
Java Remote Signed Vulnerability /
Shining some light on an open and unresolved vulnerability in Java, this includes the latest java versions with all security patches applied. Here, I demonstrate the case where the user is provided a link to click through some sort of social engineering (covert link on web page, SMS Text, email, etc). When the user clicks the link, a remote exploit will be launched providing a shell to the users remote system. With shell established the user is now effectively under control of the would be hacker. Here, I display a rather juvenile exercise of changing the background of the remote system via covert shell access. #owned
Power of nature /
Albert Einstein is world famous for his theory of mass energy equivalence, E=MC2. Simply put stating that there is a universal proportional equivalence when dealing with matter and energy. We are literally living in a world constructed by energy, and sustained by energy, we are literally energy beings living in an energy universe. We spend a lifetime, storing energy, consuming energy, and manipulating energy.
I spent a great deal of my later years working with the manipulation of energy, specifically electrical energy. In a world where mutual repulsion is relied on so heavily, I find it an honor to learn it's inner workings and caveats.
In this experiment, I ran a simple but interesting proof of concept to the ideology that this world is constructed of energy. If so, then energy should be easily (or not so easily) extracted from some interesting places. We are familiar with Wind , Wave, Geothermal, and Energy, but what about energy that is within biomass? How easily can we harness electricity from say... a lemon?
Surprisingly, there isn't to much required to extracting electricity from a lemon, primarily because the high levels of citric acids will do most of the hard work for us. What we also will require is a few pennies (copper electrode), and few roofing nails (Zinc electrode).
You will notice that the copper pennies are connected to a zinc nail via an alligator clip and some lead wiring. Our Final leads are connected to a multimeter set to measure the voltage generated by the lemons (1 1/2 lemons). The concept here is simple, the acid present in the lemon when in contact with the Zinc, liberates electrons from the zinc atoms. As these particles are freed from their atomic grip, mutual repulsion forces them to move along the connected leads looking for a new atom to bond to, moving along the wire connecting and disconnecting to the intermediary atoms along the way, and through to the copper electrode. The force generated which motives these electrons to move, mutual repulsion, is the force responsible for electrical current. As these electrons are in motion, it can be clearly be seen, we have generated approximately 2.1 volts of steady current from 1.5 lemons.
