Captain Planet

Georgia is going to be completely offline for the next couple of weeks. Imagine a life with no internet, no phones, no electricity. In the meantime the GRM n00bs have been gearing up for our red team debut at the JMU cyber defense competition for high school students. Let the carnage begin! The event will also mark the release of the 2009 JMU CCDC video.

Here’s a trailer to tide you over:

Georgia “Saving the World” the Hedgehog

We’ve got mail.

The n00bs now have email. Write us at feedback@grmn00bs.com. You can also chat with us individually to plot a coup to overthrow our tyranical ruler (me) at georgia@grmn00bs.com, rachel@grmn00bs.com, and micheal@grmn00bs.com.

There’s cool stuff coming.

Podcast Episode 6: Steal my soul while you’re at it.

In this episode Micheal and Georgia discuss identity theft with personal anecdotes and tips for keeping your soul safe.

Shownotes:

Apache downtime blog post

ATM awareness slide deck

Woman arrested for having identity stolen

Identity theft guide

Social Media Security Podcast

Another tip: Don’t take the mail to the mailbox until it is time for the mail. Also, try to avoid letting the mail sit in the mailbox for extended periods of time when the mail arrives. The less time mail sits out, the less chance for something to go wrong. This happened to a guy and his Netflix DVDs.

Podcast Episode 5: Defcon Adventures

This one is twice as long as any of our others, and it’s about absolutely nothing.  We finally got Rachel talking.  We talk about Defcon, Halo, airplanes, clothes, and suggestive slogans.

The Podcaster’s Meetup audio is here: http://pauldotcom.com/2009/08/pauldotcom-friends-present-def.html

Blog Move

We got a lot of requests for proper RSS feeds and iTunes and since Blogger doesn’t offer that (at least, not that I could see), Wordpress it was. Changes are still afoot while we get iTunes setup and various other things setup.

Episode 5 is almost finished and hopefully once that’s done, iTunes will be setup too.

Edit: Almost forgot, here’s the link that Paul from pauldotcom posted of the podcaster’s meetup from Defcon: http://pauldotcom.com/2009/08/pauldotcom-friends-present-def.html

Defcon podcast teaser

The GRM n00bs visited Defcon this past week. We were on the Defcon podcast, and we subsequently made our own podcast about our experience. While you are waiting for that enjoy these:

I owe mother alot of money for the trip.

User Training Video 1: USB Switchblades

So its the advent of our spoof user training video series. This one is about usb switchblades. There’s some real information present and a bit of outright foolery.

Still to come: Another one of those talking podcast things, Nessus tutorial rumored to have video too, and the Defcon Podcast starring me.

Sneak Preview to Bloopers From Latest Video

As Georgia and I were filming the GRM N00bs User Training Video #1, we of course had fun with some of the takes and got a little silly and have since decided to share those with you. While you are patiently waiting for the video to finish editing here is a clip from the bloopers that we will post after we finish the video. Enjoy :)
