Så, nå har Netcom gitt etter, og lansert et nytt abonnement med fri datatrafikk! Men er dette virkelig hva vi ba om? For den nette sum av 499,- kan en kjøpe seg til fri nettbruk med det nye abonnementet, men please! 500 spenn i mnd? uten noen SMS eller ringeminutter inkludert? Tøys!
Etter et langt år og utallige rykter angående den mystiske apple telefonen “Iphone” har Netcom endelig sikret seg salgsrettigheter. Det som er revlosjonerende med IPhone er at det er en “online”-telefon, den har utallige funksjoner utover sms og telefoni. IPhone tar og setter håndholdte enheter på kartet for real for første gang etter min mening. Hvordan safari er inkludert i telefonen, og med de utallige tredjepartsfunksjonene som f.eks Maps, IM, Vær, Tv, Installer som alle sammen er avhengige av Internet for å fungere, blir det helt banalt om netcom skal ta penger for at vi skal kunne bruke funksjonene som er tilgjengelige på telefonen man kjøper av de.
Hele poenget med å kjøpe seg en IPhone, sett bortifra at den er damn sexy, vil være at du på farten kan kombinere jobb og privatliv, du kan surfe, maile og chatte på en helt ny måte. Greit nok, telefoner har lenge hatt tilgang til internett, men seriøst, å sitte og prikke med en liten styrestick(no offence Sony Ericcsson) gir ikke akkurat den store internett opplevelsen, og du føler ikke at du lever i det 20 århundre.
Serriøst, å selge en IPhone uten fri datatrafikk over edge er som å selge en racerbil med en 50 hesters motor, du kommer deg fra A-B, men det var liksom ikke poenget..
Derfor! Ettersom samfunnet blir stadig mer avhengig av internett og stadig flere personer reiser mye i jobbsammenheng, ta hintet og gi oss fri datatrafikk over 3G!

I’ve been thinking about porting my web site to another domain name now. Buldre was my gaming name in the earlier years, but now that im fully educated and got my degree in information security i’ve been thinking about having a name like aleksanderfm.net or something, what do you guys think? add comments ;D
For all those who still are debating the pwnage of Iphone, my argument is: shut up! By far the best “Phone” i’ve ever handled, and yes it does work in norwegian phone networks - caugh ziphone
The need for logging in my bachelor thesis is vital, and since we will generate alot of different log files on the test machines, we have a need for sending theese to a remote logging server. Since its a test laboratory the logfiles themselves may become infected with viruses or whatever. So the need for cleanly sending the log files to the log server is also present.
Methods like ssh\sftp or simple perl scripts running pipes would have done the trick, but they all require that we open a “connection” to the log server; which is not desirable. And since the processing of logs should be automated and totally independent on human interaction, we would have needed to store critical information like login and passwords within the scripts\applications in order to send the files.
Therefore, the idea of mail seems correct. The test laboratory is a closed network, so there is no real threat of interception or sniffing. Therefore we decided to make a simple smtp application on the test machines which wait for specific files to appear. Then we use the subject string to make the server side process the mails.
On the server side we will make a C# application which deals with pop3 communication and then uses the subject string to organize the log files correctly(directory and text structure).
CLIENT SIDE(under construction):
This is an simple Log-sending SMTP application which will listen for a logfile or whatever on a specific directory on your computer and then send it. It will parse the bitstream from the logfile, “reassembling” the file in the same order. This has to be done in order to ensure that no infected log files are sendt(therefor it cant be just an attachment).

Happy new years! I know i have been really lazy in writing posts lately but hopefully this will change soon. Anyways, im back at school now and working on my Bachelor Thesis. We are working with developing a software security test senter, which is really exciting:)
If you want to know more about the project, info can be found at the webpage
So, i’ve just got one more exam left now before the christmas break finally becomes reality! Looking forward to it!
Merry Xmas everyone!
Dnssec is not yet alive, read the report on our failure to implement it during a Network Secuirty project this spring here
Hello all! Since i am currently involved in a project about xml encryption, i was given the task to write a small xml encryption program. I chose to write it in C# and use the .Net library’s built in support for xml parsing and encryption.
If someone is interested in xml encryption you will find both the sourcecode of the progam, and my report regarding the available libraries for xml encryption here
I should allso mention that should you try to use the program it has some dependencies:
Hi all! So now the Honeynet project is finalized, and we are done writing the report. If you want to read our report, you can find the document here.
Stay tuned, within the next couple of days ill post the final DNSSEC project as well.
