Dissect TCP/IP, Dos Box, Alice, Day-Con, and Fon Batteries
Chris Gerling dives into the structure of IP and TCP headers in part two of his three part series on packet sniffing. He covers everything from source ports to checksums and everything in between offering insight into TCP packets in plain English. Then in part three he covers basic Wireshark usage and advanced techniques. Read more on packet sniffing on his blog at ChrisGerling.com
Shannon Morse shares with us DosBox, the free and open source IBM PC emulator that allows you to break out those old floppies and play your DOS games once again. While we wait for DNF, anyone for a Duke Nukem 3D deathmatch?
Christine Bourquin demos Alice, an innovative 3D programming language that makes it easy to teach programming using a simple drag-and-drop interface. Perfect for the next generation of computer scientists.
Darren Kitchen brings us his review of Day-Con with photos courtesy of the security twits. He also talks about Jasager batteries both big and small.
And on a production note: We've switched over from a standard-def composite based video mixing solution to a high-def HDMI based system. We're not ready to release the full 720p quite yet as we're ironing out (read: developing on the fly) the post production process but in the mean time we've got damn good looking 480p and we're looking for your feedback. Thanks a million to everyone who has donated and helped make this happen!

Cool TCP segment for those who havn't really gotten the hang of a TCP/IP package. Refreshed some of my old memories as well so that was nice.
What i got a bit fuzzed up about was the "Alice" thing.
Now i've been a programmer for atleast 5 years as a "professional" or w/e you wanna call it and i know it's not ment for me.
But the basic representation of programming in Alice was so faar way out there that even i got confused with Alice.
You still need to do your own functions and call them with events and so on.
And it was all so "blured" up (can't find a correct word for it). Really messy : /
Just me or anyone else think the same thing about Alice?
I with Sweden had cons :(
I guess I'll try to put together my own con.
Do you think Symnatec would want to sponsor swedens first hacing con? :)
I actually considered going specifically to meet all you guys and take pictures. I also thought Darren's scheduled presentation sounded like it would be interesting (along with the guys doing one on building your own AK47). Nashville is only maybe 4 hours away from me (central Indiana). But, alas, I have farm critters who depend on me, and I couldn't find anyone to care for them for the weekend on such short notice :(
Maybe next time.

To bad sweden dosn't have the same wide spread culture of hackers/cracking/security as everywhere else.
It will be alot easier to gather up a few thousand people in the USA but here in sweden you'll just find a lot of wannabies from stockholm trying to "be the best" when in fact well they fail : /
In USA you'll atleast find a few who knows a thing or two : )
Dreamhack is the most "hard core" you can find in sweden, and well it's over populated with 14 year old kids playing CSS or WC3.. Oh wait, no they play wow these days :P

I was at Dream Hack this summer. 14 year old kids screaming "FAGS", "OMG YOU NEWB". It was horrific. WoW is currently the most popular game.
As a non gamer - DH sucked balls. The only good thing was the i-net connection speed. Something like 30GiB.
Well. Too bad a T/R ticket to Las Vegas is something like 18.000SEK.

- TCP explanation may be really useful for a lot of beginners
- Dosbox segment was way to short - some options, setup and stuff would have been great
- Great that you guys didn't switch places all the time
- Basic Alice example was good, too
Summary: Best episode this season by far
