Irongeek In Print: Books that
mention Irongeek.com
I did some looking around and it seems my site is mentioned in a few books. I've
decided so start this page to keep track of book references to Irongeek.com. If
I'm missing any please let me know, I found these first few via Google Books. |

New Video:Text
to Speech to MP3 with the freeware program DSpeech
This video is on Dspeech, a freeware tool that uses Microsoft's SAPI (Speech
Application Programming Interface) to convert text to spoken word. What's
special about it is it lets you make an MP3 of the text, so you can listen to it
on your computer, in you car or on your MP3 player. It's great for listening to
study notes.
As an unrelated side note, a friend of mine want's me to mention his
humor page on celebrities, politics and gadgets.
Hope you enjoy it. |

IGiGLE: Irongeek's WiGLE WiFi Database to Google Earth Client for Wardrive Mapping
Updated
IGiGLE is a little app I wrote that lets you directly import data from the online WiGLE WiFi Wardrive database into a KML
file, then view it in Google Earth. I've made sure it works with the
newest version of Google Earth 4.3, and recompiled it with the newest stable
version of Autoit. If you want more details on how to use it, check out my video
Wardrive Mapping With IGiGLE And WiGLE. |

Getting Ubuntu Linux to connect to a PPTP Cisco VPN 3000 Concentrator
Just a quick notes page to help others that have the same problems I did. By the
way, I plan to be at Conglomeration
April 18th-20th. While it's not a Hacker/Security con, it's still a fun little
Sci-Fi/Fantasy convention with plenty of geeky types running around. Let me know
if you're a reader of Irongeek.com and plan to be there. |

Keyloggers In Action 2: The KeyLlama 2GB USB Keylogger
This video will demonstrate one of the
KeyLlama brand of hardware keyloggers in action, specifically the 2GB
USB model. I know some of you are getting sick of me talking about hardware
keyloggers, so I plan on this being my last entry on them for awhile. |

I've updated the
Irongeek Campuses page with a few new schools, please contact me if your
university uses my materials for teaching information security. Also, I've
started to help out the
The Mitzvah Group with their charity work. Check out and join their
Myspace page, especially if you live in the Southern Indiana/Louisville
Kentucky area. |

Update:I made a small note at the
top of my recent "Encrypting The Windows System Partition With Truecrypt 5.0"
video. I used
Photorec to do some file carving to see how secure Truecrypt's Windows
system partition encryption was. Photorec was only able to recover two files,
one ASP/TXT file and one PCX, but on closer examination both were false
positives. They just contained seemingly random data, which Photorec mistook as
real file headers. Truecrypt seems to do a very good job of securing the data on
your system drive. As a side note, if anyone else is using LinkedIn please
feel free to add me and give
me a recommendation for the work I've done on this site. Who knows, it may
help me find a good career opportunity in my area. |

New Video:
Encrypting The Windows System Partition With Truecrypt 5.0
Truecrypt 5.0 adds many new features, most importantly Windows system partition
encryption. To put it in slightly inaccurate layman's terms, this means
encrypting your entire C: drive. Even if you already write your sensitive data
to an encrypted space, files are sometimes squirreled away in unencrypted temp
space or in the page file where they may be recovered. Using Truecrypt to
encrypt your Windows XP system partition will help eliminate this problem. |

New Video:Encrypting
VoIP Traffic With Zfone To Protect Against Wiretapping
Some people worry about the easy with which their voice communications may be
spied upon. Laws like CALEA have made this simpler in some ways, and with
roaming wiretaps even those not under direct investigation may lose their
privacy. Phil Zimmermann , creator of PGP, has come up with a project called
Zfone which aims to do for VoIP what PGP did for email. Thanks to
DOSMan for his help with this video. |

New Video:Using GPG/PGP/FireGPG to Encrypt and Sign Email from Gmail
This tutorial will show how to use GPG and the FireGPG plug-in to encrypt and
decrypt messages in Gmail. GPG is an open source implementation of OpenPGP
(Pretty Good Privacy) , a public-key-encryption system. With public key
encryption you don’t have to give away the secret key that decrypts data for
people to be able to send you messages. All senders need is the public key which
can only be used to encrypt, this way the secret key never has to be sent across
unsecured channels.

Nuclear
War Survival Myths
I did not write this
article, and while it's not about computer security it is about security. My
interest in this subject was renewed after watching the TV series
Jericho
(watch it so it stays on the air). I thought this article was interesting enough
to warrant mirroring, and it seems to jive pretty well with what I have read
from other authors such as Duncan Long and Cresson H. Kearny on the subject.
Please don't think I'm a paranoid, tin-foil-hat wearing freak, but I am a child
of the 80's and a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction. Don't worry, my video on PGP/GPG
is on its way. |

Personal Privacy Programs
Hi all. I've decided it's time to start focusing on software that helps users
maintain their privacy. I've already done videos on
DBAN,
Eraser,
CCleaner,
TrueCRYPT and Tor.
I hope to have one on PGP/GPG/FireGPG up soon. What other must have privacy
software do you recommend I cover? Let me know via my
contact page, to which
I've recently added my OpenPGP key. |
