[General] Blog Update
Some exciting news is my good friend Ben from ben.run has decided to join the nzgadet team and is going to offer some of his technical wisdom to this blog. I know that his articles and comments will definitely be worth a read.
I have some good articles in the pipeline at the moment which I will finish up over the weekend. One of the more interesting articles is about a recent Wardrive I went on, in which we discovered 824 wireless Access Points (AP) around the CBD in Wellington, New Zealand. If you go to WiGLE and zoom in on Wellington, New Zealand you will see all the data I uploaded there, 770 of the AP’s that we discovered had not been posted to WiGLE before so they are now up there. You do need to zoom right in to see all the details. More on all of this later…
If you will be checking this blog in the future and are using Firefox then you should get the extension Sage which I mentioned in a previous post. If you are reading this blog from Microsofts Internet Explorer then you should look at using Firefox.

So whats a sneak preview of some articles from Ben?
- A latest update for Windows XP SP2 hotfixes package. I am waiting for MS to release the September hotfixes which may be out this week, then I'll post the article. Similiarly for Windows 2003.
- Slipstreaming formentioned service pack and hotfixes into a Windows installation CD. In particular how to slipstream KB885250 and KB885835 together (yes it can be done, in practice it gains nothing, but at least it says you have the hotfix so you feel happier... More on this topic when I post the article).
- How to makew your wireless network secure with IPSec. This is the tech article I have wanted to write for ages, but is waiting for me to have some time to take the various screen shots to make it useful. Note: This technique will only work if you have a computer that is attached to the internet via a wire, and other computers attached to it via wireless. Doesn't work if you have all your computers wireless to the ADSL modem. Sorry Narcosis.
Ben.
There's quite a few repeats on that map. Or maybe it's an Opera thing...
