WeakNet Linux Version 2.0 FINAL (free release June 30th 2009).

WeakNet Labs Brings you, WNLA version 2.0 FINAL! Yes, I have built this one with a more Debian feel to it. Also, I ditched the Gnome GUI and built the Enlightenment E17 GUI instead! It's beautiful, with animated icons, right and left click menus on the desktop, a PERFECT paging system, and a beautiful zooming icon dock for applications.

I built the 1337tool up to have more features as well. I included more tools that WNL and I have coded, and things just have a much nicer feel to them.

Another cool new feature is Web Hacking Portal 4.1! Yes, I coded better PHP, which now has seamless re-directs as the credentials are recorded. If the victim has cookies already set with a session, that session too, is re-initiated, meaning, no evidence of phishing save for the browsing history :P

Login = assistant (always the same)
Sudo passwd = weaknet
Su password = weaknet2
Services Passwd's = weaknet (e.g. MySQL)

Click on any of the screenshots below to see the NEW WeakNet Linux Assistant Version 2.0 Final.

I met Rel1k while at Shmoocon 2009 and got his permission to add the new Fast-Track suite to WNLA, so in the non BETA version expect to see this!

"Given the regular questions appearing on the forum about using Debian/Ubuntu with EC2 I thought it might be a useful exercise to post a complete HOWTO should people wish to roll their own AMI rather than use my public one. I suspect that these instructions will work for Ubuntu as well although I've not actually tested this.

To start with we need to construct a simple Debian installation on a host machine."

Mer is a new Linux operating system, built upon a thin base of Ubuntu Jaunty combined with the best open-source elements of Nokia's Maemo platform.

The goals of Mer include:

* Improving and developing parts of Maemo that are of interest to the Maemo community.
* Making it easier to port existing desktop applications by hildonizing and adjusting them to the tablet form factor.
* Encouraging third party experimentation and development.
* Supporting tablet hardware no longer receiving updated OS software by Nokia.
* Making Maemo a generic platform for all tablet devices, including non-Nokia ones.
* Focusing Maemo community efforts in platform-related areas

Mission

Mer platform development will be done in the open, with public SCM repository, bugtrackers, and Wiki-based blueprint discussion.

We should stop seeing the tablets as strictly under-powered embedded systems, and see them for what they really are: powerful, power-efficient, economical handheld computers."

"Moblin Image Creator 2 (MIC2) is a tool for creating and manipulating Moblin images. MIC2 is a series of utilities that create customized images and provides an easy-to-use development environment for the Moblin distribution. MIC2 is NOT based on MIC 1.0 and is a completely new tool primarily based on Fedora LIVE CD tools and other open source projects
Status

Currently MIC2 is command line only. A GUI version is underway and still in the early stages of development.
Features

MIC2 supports the following features:

* MIC2 has three major utilities
o moblin-image-creator for image creation
o moblin-image-convertoer for image transformation
o moblin-chroot for generating chroot environment from image and vice vera
* MIC2 supports major Linux distributions and can be used on at least the following distributions:
o Fedora (Fedora 9 and above)
o Opensuse (> OpenSUSE 10.3)
o Ubuntu (Ubuntu 8.10. MIC2 is not supported on Ubuntu 8.04 due to incompatible yum versions)
* Supports various types of images:
o Live CD
o Live USB
o Loop images
o KVM images
o VMDK (Vmware)

"First of all make sure you have completely downloaded the image and checked the shasum. Once that is done you have to copy the image to your usb device. Note that you have to copy it to the device and not a single partition. NOTE: THESE COMMANDS WILL DESTORY ALL CONTENTS OF YOUR USB KEY, REMEMBER TO BACK IT UP!"
