Cobwebed Email

Filed under: /friends, /funny — Ken @ 1:48 pm

So I get this email the otherday from a friend of mine from High School who since has gotten married, moved out here to Seattle then moved back to the east coast. The only problem is in the email he is describing how he and wife who are recently married cant wait to move out to Seattle. So a little digging in the mail headers reveals a massive time jump from Sept 26 2001 to when the email actually hit my mail server on Dec. 30 2003. My guess is that the message sat in his outbox (the mailer type is outlook) probably due to bunk smtp server settings and just recently got flushed.

When my mail server recieved it:

Received: by gir.seattlewireless.net (Postfix, from userid 1018)
id 15DBB70F14; Tue, 30 Dec 2003 12:43:35 -0800 (PST)

When it hit their outbound SMTP server:

Tue, 30 Dec 2003 12:40:03 -0800 (PST)
Received: (qmail 23558 invoked from network); 30 Dec 2003 20:39:47 -0000

by smtp02.lax.untd.com with SMTP; 30 Dec 2003 20:39:47 -0000

When it was composed/sent:

DC206

Filed under: /geek, /seattle — Ken @ 1:13 am

Almost forgot the DC206 meeting was today @ Cafe Maree in Greenlake. About six or seven people showed, and Vudu talked about the Mini-Rootfu contest. The idea was to setup a network that resembled a corporate network, and have teams of people attempt to infiltrate the network. The interesting dynamic is that there was actual data and websites/apps on the network for this fake corporation, and staged company email was being sent over the network giving the people playing more potential intel. I probably missed some other key points, but I like the twist of trying to make it more real world as apposed to just attempting to break into machines.

New worky laptop

Filed under: /geek, /work — Ken @ 12:41 am

So with my new job has come a new laptop. Its a Dell Inspiron 8500, which touts almost a 16 inch screen with a native resolution of 1680×1050. I have been OSX for over a year now so its wierd to start using windows again. Previous to OSX my main computer ran FreeBSD, but unfortuantely I need windows for alot of stuff at work. Dual Booting just sucks so now its back to using Cygwin which is a must for any Unix geek stuck on win32.

BTW, I need to get rid of some couches and a pool table @ C4 (my shop space in Georgetown we are moving into a smaller space and need to get rid of crap.
