SOLDIERX.COM Reaches Over 10,000 Active Members

Congratulations everybody, our community is finally at over 10,000 active user accounts. Technically speaking we just had our 13,028 sign up - but over 3,000 of those were determined to be inactive/spammers and have had their accounts removed. We actively prune accounts that spam as well as accounts that never log into the site. Our next goal is to have over 15,000 active members. Thanks to everybody who has been active in our community and to everybody that has helped to spread the word about soldierx.com. Expect some heavy updates coming to the site in May (including a much more powerful server).

Interview with RaT by InfoSec Institute

For anybody that cares about my views on SOLDIERX and our HDB, I answered several questions in an interview with InfoSec Institute. You can read all about it over at http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/interview-with-rat-the-high-counci.... Obviously I didn't want to attract the wrong type of attention, so let's hope that nothing I said ends up doing that.

For those of you who are into active web recon testing, I decided to make a new module for Recon-ng Framework: https://www.soldierx.com/sxlabs/Simple-Admin-Page-Finder-Module-Recon-ng....

$100 More to Grsecurity - Please Help Out!

As part of our official support of Grsecurity, we've sent another $100 to spender of Grsecurity for 3 new features and a game changing ARM port (for people using armv6+). The new features are "Insert random gaps between thread stacks", "Eliminate stat/notify-based device sidechannels", and "Disable TCP Simultaneous Connect". More information is located (for the time being) at http://grsecurity.net/~spender/new_features.txt. As mentioned on twitter (https://twitter.com/grsecurity/status/289714445746307074), the Grsecurity project has not been getting many donations. If you use their systems (or care about security in general), you should toss some money to them! More information on sending donations can be found at http://grsecurity.net/donations.php

Lame DoS is lame (so is vb)

While this isn't quite worthy of the news, we do like to shame wannabe hackers when they attempt to take down our site. Such is the story of basement dwelling vb/vb2/vb.2. I'm guessing he read the news article about our server change, and decided to use a rarely used (and lame) POST DoS attack. We quickly noticed and updated our apache config, so thanks for that vb. Also, I hope he feels skilled since he took soldierx.com down for an entire 3 minutes. Sadly enough, he attacked from the IP 190.48.122.159 - which is tied to his soldierx.com account. You would think as a user of the site, he would have read the old news and masked his IP. Will a real hacker with 0day please stand up? Wink
