Pyramid is binary linux distro for use on x86 embedded platforms. It is primarily focused on wireless applications however people have found many great uses for it. We primarily develop and test Pyramid for Metrix Kits, but it works well on other x86 based hardware as well. Check the WorkingHardware page for more info or add to it if you find hardware not listed that works with Pyramid.
The recording, which was posted on Youtube, refers to the on-going court case against Ryan Cleary, arrested last June for his alleged role in the group LulzSec, and reveals legally sensitive information.
I’d like to hear more as to how this was done.
MQTT stands for MQ Telemetry Transport. It is a publish/subscribe, extremely simple and lightweight messaging protocol, designed for constrained devices and low-bandwidth, high-latency or unreliable networks. The design principles are to minimise network bandwidth and device resource requirements whilst also attempting to ensure reliability and some degree of assurance of delivery. These principles also turn out to make the protocol ideal of the emerging “machine-to-machine” (M2M) or “Internet of Things” world of connected devices, and for mobile applications where bandwidth and battery power are at a premium.

I see RIM phones using this.
Yes. TCP/IP port 1883 is reserved with IANA for use with MQTT. TCP/IP port 8883 is also registered, for using MQTT over SSL.
The Virtual Network Editor (vmnetcfg.exe) is not extracted during the installation and it is really needed if you want to mess around with the virtual network settings on the host OS.
It is a problem if you have different network adapters installed, like eg Bluetooth, WiFi, Hamachi etc
Extract cab files
You can extract all files from the installation by using the option /e and a destination folder is supplied
C:\Download\vmware>VMware-player-3.1.3-324285.exe /e .\extract
Change to the subfolder and find the file network.cab, open it in eg Izarch and extract vmnetcfg.exe to the vmware player installation folder. You can also create a shortcut in your list of program files if needed

This worked. I didn’t have to install izarch either — 7-zip extracted the .cab files just fine. I can’t believe vmware didn’t just install the network editor for the player. What’s up with that?

There are many different locations containing interesting data on iOS devices. Data often resides in SQLite databases, the chosen format for local storage on mobile devices. The next best place to find sensitive information is in plist, or property list files – these are the primary storage medium for configuration settings in iOS, and they are also a fantastic source of sensitive information. User credentials are often stored here, instead of inside the KeyChain where they should be. Rounding out the top three data sources are binary or binary-encoded files, such as the device’s keyboard cache and pasteboard. Although storage locations commonly change with the release of new iOS firmware, it is fairly simple to poke around the general area and find what you’re looking for.

Similarly to the configuration files for iOS, the XML files storing preferences for Android applications commonly include user credentials and other sensitive information.
The Real-Time Streaming Protocol allows to control multimedia streams delivered, for example, via RTP. Control includes absolute positioning within the media stream, recording and possibly device control.
Third parties need to deliver. Facebook relies on a series of third party providers—notably software as a service providers. Providers to Facebook include Salesforce.com, NetSuite and Oracle to name a few, we’ve been told.

This link works as of this date. There are a lot of bad links floating around out there in the google.
If you have downloaded, created, or rebuilt RPM packages locally (as explained in TipsAndTricks/YumAndRPM “Get set up for rebuilding packages while not being root”) you may want a place to put them so they are accessible from all the machines on your local net.
