SECCUBUS ON UBUNTU - THE MISSING MANUAL

My tool of choice for vulnerability scanning has always been Nessus, going all the way back to when it was properly OpenSource and the ‘Experimental Checks’ checkbox was a sure fire way to crash your target. Since going full commercial it’s only gotten better and the current interface is very clean and polished. The biggest downside being that each scan is treated as a stand-alone unit so the application itself can’t do any kind of trending or inter-scan analysis. The company does provide a tool that does exactly this but monies. Compared to many tools it’s still somewhat cheap, but I can still think of many places I would rather spend the funds.

MY NOT SO FANCY .VIMRC

Sometime in the early 1990s, for reasons I can’t remember, I made the switch from pico to vim and never looked back. Since that time I’ve been slowly tweaking my config, occasionally adding a feature here and there, and always carrying my files along from one computer to another. My config is still mostly stock, unlike some friends who read the O’Reilly book and somehow managed to create a terminal version of Visual Studio. Every now and then I’ll be working on a project and decide to look for a small boost. Something like syntax highlighting for LaTeX or puppet-lint for live syntax validation on Puppet manifests.
