I have finally gotten around to posting a video tutorial of Webscarab. This tutorial merely covers the basics on Webscarab and is a mirror reflection of my written tutorial, Webscarab Tutorial Part 1 (learning the basics). I plan on continuing this video series as I did with my written tutorials. I have always been a fan of video tutorials because they cut right to the chase and show the exact steps how something is performed. I have always frequented the videos on Iron Geek and Milw0rm which have been great resources as well. Don’t forget to maximize the video in the bottom right hand corner of the player, otherwise the video is pointless because you wouldn’t be able to see anything.

The video seems to have some background noise from the audio recording, if anyone has a suggestion for making a better recording I’m all ears. I recorded the screen cast with CamStudio but I also tried Record My Desktop in Linux. I wanted to use Record My Desktop but it was even worse. It could have been my cheap Logitech microphone that was the root cause of the problem? Please post feedback and let me know if these videos are useful, your feedback will determine what content I post in the future.

In case you weren’t aware there is a conference called CarolinaCon that is held in the Raleigh area every year. This has been going on since 2005 and this year it’s held in nearby Chapel Hill. I attended the first CarolinaCon and thought it was a great small conference. The fees are low and the topics are on par with the big conferences, also they have only one track which they pride themselves on. This conference is put on by the North Carolina 2600 group which I used to hang with when I lived in Charlotte. The 2600 group does a great job of creating a party atmosphere and keeping things refreshing. You won’t find any stiff suits there.

The speakers have been chosen and you can find the lineup on their site. I will be giving at talk on Layer 7 Attacks. This talk will cover delve into vulnerabilities that are common to web applications and how attackers are leveraging those vulnerabilities. I hope to shed more light on vulnerabilities at layer 7 because this is the new battle ground. If anyone wants to know more about the conference please contact me.

Hope to see your there!!!
