lattera Joins SOLDIERX, Collaboration With BinRev

During Defcon 18, lattera agreed to join SX and continue project hijack as part of SX Labs. Due to the amount of time that we've known lattera, he was able to skip the inductee phase and become part of the crew instantly. We look forward to all of the awesome research that he will be bringing to the SX community.

We have also decided to collaborate with BinRev. Despite their ZF0 ownage, they are actually some pretty cool people. We have agreed to help them secure their servers to prevent future attacks. We will be moving all "truth radio" SX radio content over to their radio station (link has announcement). We are also planning to move our IRC channel over to their servers. More information to come...

Amp Retires From SOLDIERX, grey Promoted to Full Crew Member

Amp has decided to retire from the group, as announced in his blog. He said that he has too many other commitments and his heart just isn't into it anymore. We thank him for his many years of service, and will welcome him back with open arms if he decides to return to the group in the future. As his last wish before retirement, he asked for grey (formerly grey_to_black) to be promoted to a full crew member. After careful analysis, we have decided that grey has worked hard and deserves the promotion. Congratulations grey, you've earned it. We look forward to your future contributions to the group and community.

VIP Updates

We are making some awesome changes to VIP. We are setting up a private server for VIP members that will offer them web hosting, email, and full shell access. Due to the large number of VIP users, Blake has created a VIP database for us to manage all of this information. If you are a VIP member, you may receive an email from him asking for missing information. Please get this information to him as soon as possible, we will be using it to verify that your account is setup properly on both the web server and the new private server. Thank you to everybody that has become a VIP, we are hoping to have some really awesome VIP releases by the end of this month.

Site Fixes and Other Updates

If you've been on the site the past few days, you might have noticed it going down for maintenance more often than usual. There were some issues with some data that was on our site, so we've been tracking it down and making fixes while trying to maximize uptime. All issues seem to be resolved, but let us know if you find anything that seems buggy. I am now working on a few theme updates and bringing the web irc client back. Thanks to everybody who attended to SX Party despite the bad weather, it was a good time for all. We did take some video, but it will not be distributed to the public. We do not know when the next party will be, but we will try to announce the next one months ahead of time.
