Another reason why TSA sucks

#EFF I am glad I joined this weekend. No I didn't get a mowhawk.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Federal agencies have repeatedly assured worried passengers that all images generated by full body scanners in airports would be destroyed as soon as the image was viewed.

But, it turns out some law enforcement agencies are in fact saving tens of thousands of images, according to CNet.com.

The U.S. Marshals Service has admitted that it has saved thousands of images recorded with a millimeter wave system at the security checkpoint of the federal courthouse in Orlando.

The Marshals Service disclosure comes on the heels of a report from the TSA that said it requires all airport body scanners it purchases to store and transmit images for, "testing, training, and evaluation purposes." CNet reported the TSA said those capabilities aren't activated when the devices are installed at airports.

The controversial scanners produce highly detailed images. The U.S. government wants the machines because they say it can detect concealed weapons better than metal detectors.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that scanners would be installed at every major airport in the country. Miami International Airport already has some of the scanners installed at the terminal.

According to CNet, the Electronic Privacy Information Center has filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to grant an immediate injunction pulling the plug on TSA's body scanning program.

Jailbreak and Unlock your iPhone

If your iPhone 4 is locked to AT&T or another carrier, good news — the ultrasn0w unlock is now available to set you free.

Those who ponied up full price for an international, factory unlocked iPhone 4 direct from Apple need not apply. Those who chose subsidies and the lock that came with it, get your Jailbreak on and head over to Cydia. If ultrasn0w doesn’t show up immediately, search for repo repo666.ultrasn0w.com.

Version 1.0-1 of ultrasn0w works for:

iPhone4 baseband 01.59
3G/3GS basebands 04.26.08, 05.11.07, 05.12.01 and 05.13.04

Remember, you’ll need a microSIM card if you plan on jumping to another carrier, and in the US that means manually cutting down your T-Mobile SIM to microSIM size.

Core Impact vs Metasploit Express: #Defcon

Rapid 7 and Core Security both had crazy parties this week for Blackhat/Defcon. We went to Rapid 7's bash at the Palms and we went to Core's celebration at Sushi Roku. HackMiami went to both and the reviews are in.

The winner is: Anyone who had the opportunity to attend the parties. Both groups put on a great party and it was overheard by many that this is the best Con ever, and the Con hasn't even started yet!

On behalf of all who got to attend, thank you to both Core and Rapid 7 for a great time.

If it ended today, I would say everyone had an amazing time but it is only just beginning.

Today is the official day 1 of Defcon.
