The MacBook Pro saga continues

I have had my MacBook Pro back in my possesion for a couple of weeks now, but we still have an old problem and two new problems…
Here is the current list:
- Creaking sound when placing left palm on the MacBook Pro to type. The new bottom case doesn’t fit properly.
- There is now a grinding sound coming from the right hand rear side of the unit.
- There is still a dark bar accross the left hand side of the LCD when the screen dims.
Remember people this units cost me over $4000 when I originally pruchased it. That is over 8 months of saving for me.
The saga continues…

Can’t see iPod in iTunes

I’ve had a problem where I was unable to see my iPod Shuffle in iTunes. This started after a recent software update from Apple, as a result I was unable to update my iPod with new songs. After reading multiple articles and forum posts that had some whacky solutions that included, banging the iPod on a desk while holding down the power button, I found the solution myself. If you have the same problem, try running the “iPod Updater” found in Applications/Utilities and restoring your iPod. It will wipe all the songs from your iPod, but that is better than not being able to update it at all.

Michael Sutton has an interesting post on his blog about web application vulnerabilities specifically SQL injection. He has cobbled together a small tool in C# that makes use of a Google API key to search the Google databases for web application vulnerabilities.

If you haven’t checked it out yet, take yourself over to the Metasploit project and check out the development version of Metasploit 3. HD Moore released this version at BlackHat this year. He did some cool demos, and it has some cool features like in VNC, launching the Start Menu even if the user isn’t logged in.
Well worth a look…
