-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 A common situation in our penetration tests (and yours) is that we get an IP range and some verbal information about it. For example: "This is our New Jersey Data Center". Sometimes the IP range you get is off by a digit, or was mistyped, or is , in fact, a California data center. For a long time now, CANVAS has had GEOIP support built in, so that you could avoid attacking countries you didn't want to attack, but now it's much much cooler... CANVAS World Map Demo (flash): http://www.immunityinc.com/documentation/mappingbeta.html Uplink hacking game screenshot: http://www.uplink.co.uk/cgi-bin/screenshots.cgi?pic=uplink4.gif The point is, location matters. Both network location (we're working on a Visio-like scrap-pad so you can say "firewall is here") and physical location. For example, perhaps you have a client-side exploit you've spammed to thousands of people in the company, but you only want to own people who are not in HQ, because HQ is full of programmers and other IT specialists. Or perhaps you just want to visualize what you're doing so you can better understand where the problems in the network are. Location gets you when people go off of work, when the holidays are, and what the default language is. And it's darn pretty. :> - -dave -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHHj85B8JNm+PA+iURAgOaAKC59I08mXE8wMfBVWU9Ft4HTENu5gCgi8F/ vxMe7jt7Q6A/Zgh4zIhP8Hk= =GHAS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Dailydave mailing list Dailydave () lists immunitysec com http://lists.immunitysec.com/mailman/listinfo/dailydave
