New RSS feed location

September 8th, 2007

For those of you who read this blog through Live Journal syndication this change should be transparent. For others, I am working with my host to allow the change in feed to be transparent for you as well. But if you would like to switch manually in the mean time it might not be a bad idea. The current atom feed has moved to FeedBurner. If you read this blog through a reader please point your reader to http://feeds.feedburner.com/SecureTomorrow instead of the atom.xml file that had been used previously.

Syndication issues

August 23rd, 2007

Just a heads up to my readers. Old posts are randomly showing up on Live Journal today (via the rss syndication feature). I don’t know if it’s on Live Journal’s side or a problem with Blogger. I am looking into it. My apologies if it causes any of you any confusion. In the next couple days, if you see any posts that seem like they are out dated, they probably are. But if you are a new reader, then take this chance to catch up on some of my old posts from my archive making a mysterious reappearance.

I blew the dust off and found a blog here

August 22nd, 2007

I know the blog has been neglected a tad. I am still in the trenches working on security issues but in an Operations environment now. A much different environment to the Engineering and R&D environments I had been doing my security work in during the past several years. I hope to be able to at least do weekly posts in here sharing or discussing current security related issues with my readers.

Moving to a new domain

June 11th, 2006

I will be starting the transfer of this blog over to it’s new home at Secure Tomorrow. I will be moving it over to the new domain tonight and it will [hopefully] get a face lift in the coming weeks. For those of you who read this blog via RSS, please update your news readers to point to http://www.securetomorrow.org/atom.xml [feed link no longer valid as of 1/09]. For those who read this blog through Live Journal syndication, you do not have to do anything. Hopefully the transition will be as painless as possible. If you have any problems feel free to leave a comment in the blog and I will address it.

For the Live Journal users

March 18th, 2005

For the people who asked. I created a Live Journal syndication feed here of this blog. If you wish to read any articles I post via LJ instead of my site, just add the lj user infosec_syn like you would any other LJ user and you can view the entries in your friends section.

Welcome!

March 3rd, 2005

I finally have gotten around to creating an infosec blog on my site :)

My love for computing started at the age of 8 with the purchase of my very first computer, an Apple IIc. I taught myself how to write programs in Applesoft basic and from there I was hooked. Over the years I continued to learn more and more about both computer software and hardware. I entered the IT industry in 1995 while a junior in high school. This was my first real experience to networking and C++ code outside the scope of my home network in my parent’s basement.

My background in information security goes back to the late 90′s professionally though it has always been a hobby of mine on some level since I learned how to setup and run my first BBS (WWiV)… and then how to reinstall and patch the code myself once someone else found my BBS and gained access to it,lol. I still think to this day my mom thinks I was selling drugs out of her basement because “why does a 15 year old need more than one phone line?”.

My learning continued through high school (1993 or so) when I set up my first [slackware] linux distro. The joy I had when I finally realized what that silly $ sign was for, and how superior it was to that C:\ sign I had been using for all those many years ;)

I created this blog mainly to share security related stories, rants, and just provide a general discussion area for current events relating to us, information security professionals. This will be geared more for the tie wearing white hats like myself. You won’t find any “how to haxor windows in 20 seconds” articles on here or serial numbers. Google can help you find plenty of those. Feel free to check out the RSS feed to read my current posts or email me at kevin [at] kevinblanchard [dot] com for story and post ideas. Enjoy!
