Interesting Tech Finds This Week

Here is a small list of things I’ve found interesting this week, but don’t require a whole post about each one of them. Out of all of these I would suggest you try BackTrack beta. It’s a very nice Linux distro for security analysis. It comes with all the tools you need to do any security penetration testing.
