All ’bout Security & Connectivity Seminar 2010
The 2nd All ‘Bout Security& Connectivity Seminar is here again in Temasek Polytechnic! This seminar provides a knowledge-sharing platform for IT Security, Network Professionals and students.
The seminar includes talks on IT security and connectivity and a Web Challenge (supported by HITB), which is open to public. The aim of the challenge is to test the contestants on various web penetration techniques.
Interested? It's being held on Friday, March 05, 2010 from 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM (GMT+0800). Find out more from their site, or get the agenda for the day here, and you can signup at this link.
(How to) Signup for SecureMe
If you wish to have a safe and private way to surf the internets while you're at a public wifi hotspot, or somewhere like a hotel "free" network or whatnot, why not consider using a VPN + proxy + DNS resolver combination?
SecureMe is a project I started to try out and get some experience from running an operational combination like this, and I have been using it without much issues for the past quarter year to date.
I'm opening this as a service to people who'd like to make use of this service too, and for no minimum cost! I only ask for the following:
1. feedback/suggestions/complaints/compliments!
2. (if you're feeling generous) donations to help me upkeep my server at least (I don't intend to strike it rich with this anyway) 
If you wish to use this, email me at secureme{@T}rayfoo[dot]info to enquire on availability. Alternatively you could tweet or FB me...
I'll support this as much as possible where time/resources permits, but for now I'd suggest that (at least) the slightly more technically inclined try this.
Rubbish attracts flies
Immediately after the previous post on the list of SSH user IDs used in attempting the brute forcing, the blog has suddenly gotten a lot more attention...
...from spammers. The number of blocked spam jumped by over a hundred in the span of just a day!
Perhaps it would be good to be careful on the wordings used here, don't want Google to be flagging this site as a malicious site
