SOLDIERX.COM Nobody Can Stop Information Insemination

Sorry for the lack of mainstream news updates, we've all been hard at work behind the scenes. First off, we have been working on a new proxies section of the site that you can preview here. We've also got some special VIP updates coming out late this week or early next week. As far as site upgrades go, we've almost rebuilt all of our scripts for detecting various attacks and unwanted visitors. Expect the return of fed logs (.mil/.gov/etc) soon As part of the upgrades, we're also upgrading our SAS card due to some unforeseen read/write cache issues based on our architecture not being x86/x64. Much of the crew has been making a point to be in the IRC room from 8-5 CST, so please join us. Last but not least, we've been under a great deal of DDoS and have thus rolled out yet another automated system to help combat the script kiddies. If you happen to get a 403 error, please contact RaT or wait 10 minutes and you will be automatically unbanned.

Hey everybody, I am mainly dropping a quick line as I am currently updating and adding new content to the Neophyte's Guide and the Basic Programming Concepts series of tutorials. If there are any questions, concerns, or suggestions feel free to make them heard.

Blake has released a major updated to wdivulge (0.2.0). The update includes proxy support (to include TOR), custom browser user agents, custom directory saving, and slight code cleanups. You can read more about it and get it at https://www.soldierx.com/sxlabs/wdivulge. This is one of many SX Labs updates for this summer. Blake has stated that he's up for adding any sensible features. Please add your requests at http://www.soldierx.com/bbs/201101/wdivulge-testing

It is with great pleasure that we announce that SoldierX will have a presence once again at Defcon. Thus far, I can confirm that me and Blake will be attending the event. While in previous years I have not been able to go due to personal commitments and financial concerns, I decided to say go for it this year as this may be my best chance to go and I'm certainly not getting any younger. If anybody from the community is attending, drop a line in the comments below.

After many talks with the high council, we've agreed to open up a new section of forums to post some of our attack logs. This section, dubbed "Lamers", is for attack logs and other pieces of information about script kiddies and other basement dwellers. It's somewhat of a "Hall of Shame", reserved for those who try really stupid attacks against our site. We decided we were giving too much front page attention to script kiddies like VB, so we wanted a less visible place to share the information. If you have logs of lame attacks, feel free to post them as well. The new forum is located at https://www.soldierx.com/Forums/General-Discussion/Lamers

I'm proud to announce the release of libhijack 0.6.1 for FreeBSD and Linux. This is mainly a maintenance release with one new feature for FreeBSD users. This release fixes bugs relating to writing data to the child process via ptrace. The new feature for FreeBSD users is the ability to resolve the RTLD's symbols. This wasn't properly being done before. You can download the new release from GitHub by going to the Tags page and downloading the 0.6.1 tarball or right from SoldierX. Read below if you want a technical reason for the new feature for FreeBSD.

While I've been lurking in the shadows, I've been working hard on my hobby projects. I've recently fixed a number of bugs and ported my test suites from 32bit linux to 64bit FreeBSD in libhijack. I will be speaking at BSDCan this weekend about runtime process infection and I'll be releasing a new maintenance release of Libhijack. For those who don't know, BSDCan is a conference held in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The presentations focus mostly on BSD-centric topics. My presentation will include a lot of the same material from Defcon 19 plus additional material regarding the challenges porting libhijack to FreeBSD. I'm excited to speak and if you're in the area, come see my presentation.

We are now online from the new server. I have disabled the web IRC client at the moment for security reasons. I am now performing various tests on the site to make sure that it is faster than ever. If you find any problems, please don't hesitate to post them as a comment or contact me.

We have yet another server being rolled out next week. This one has 32 cores, 32 GB of RAM, and SAS solid state hard drives. This server should be enough to keep up with our current and (hopefully) future traffic for at least the next few years. On a related note, due to the server work - we will be delaying the wallpaper contest for another month. The winner will be announced at the end of the May. Please keep those submissions coming, I will be getting them online soon

As most of you know, we just returned from a day long CISPA blackout. While this bill has very little chance of passing, we still felt it important to go black as not many sites went black in opposition today. Unfortunately, due to CISPA not being bad for business like SOPA and PIPA were - there are a number of companies supporting it. Those companies include (but are not limited to) Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, McAfee, and Oracle, Technet (members include Facebook and Google), and Microsoft. It's sad that these companies only look out for #1 and don't stick up for the people.

Look for us to have an active summer as most of us will have way more free time after May.
