Free online viewable magazines?!
We are going to approach this subject very lightly as I’m sure it’s clearly copyright infringement, however Lifehacker has a great post for a website called Mygazines. (which we won’t link to for legal purposes) Basically it’s a repository of scanned magazines encompassing just about anything and everything your heart desires, minus the pr0n. Click the link below to be redirected to Lifehacker’s site to read the full article and read free magazines if you so choose to 
Weird, I could of sworn I heard someone say free 2600 mags
**By no means do we here at SecuraBit encourage engaging in unlawful activity however there are some free magazines on this site as well that could come in handy.
DC16 Recap
I could spend hours talking about how much of a good time Chris Mills and I had at DC16 or I figured you all could just tune in for EP8 which we’ll be recording tonight. There are a lot of people we need to thank for their hospitality as well as the free beer! We made all kinds of new friends and it was great finally being able to put names to faces. While you’re waiting for the live show tonight, follow the links below for some pics of the Podcasters Meetup as well as the live show recorded live from DC16!

SnortSP 3.0 Available now!
I know I’m a few days late, however Snort Security Platform (SnortSP) 3.0 Beta is available from Snort’s website. SnortSP 3.0 is the software platform which has traffic analysis engine modules that plug into SnortSP. It still runs on the 2.8.2 detection platform but it runs as a SnortSP engine module.
Some of the major features include:
- Shell-based user interface with embedded scripting language
- Native IPv6, MPLS and GRE support
- Native support for inline operation
- More subsystem plugin types such as data acquisition modules, decoders and traffic analyzers
- Multithreaded execution model - multiple analysis engines may operate simultaneously on the same traffic
- Performance increases
I’ve been messing around with it for a few days now and have found it to be an entirely different program altogether as the syntax and commands to get it up and running can become rather of a headache when first starting out. Overall though I like the idea of multiple detection analysis engines as well as the shell-based interface therefore preventing you from simply killing the snort process inadvertently. Anyways, thought I’d let you all know that it’s there now for all your sniffing needs!
