Re: (dr.kaos,arcon,atlas,beth,digunix) SAMAEL (Secure, Anonymous, Megalomaniacal, Aut

For more than 2 years now, I have contacted Taylor Banks
regarding his Defcon 14 presentation: SAMAEL / NARC and
he has consistently refused to release it and has given me
nothing but excuses.

For the past 2 years, Taylor Banks has been saying "we are
going to release it soon" or "it's going to be ready soon."

I doubt that it's ever going to be released and it's likely that
SAMAEL / NARC never even existed.

Hmmm have you checked here.......

Must be dumb luck :-)

it's been over seven months since the last update... did they just disappear? I have tried to contact him through several channels, and have gotten no responses. Are the members of Kaos.Theory still alive? I've been following their progress since Anonym.OS, BTW

any news on this? I tried the above link, no-go.

They had some issues with the interface and it wasn't working so they pulled the site down. They said they were working on it and going to put it back up soon. Haven't seen it yet though. Here is a link to their site.

Either my google foo is slipping or I am still hung over.
I cant remember the URL to download NARC or SAMAEL.
Can anyone help out?

Abstract:
From the 1337 hax0rs that brought you Anonym.OS, kaos.theory/security.research presents SAMAEL (Secure, Anonymous, Megalomaniacal, Autonomous, Encrypting Linux), the natural evolution of our secure, automagicically anonymizing operating system, Anonym.OS into a kick-ass anonymizing server!

When kaos.theory released the Anonym.OS at ShmooCon in January of this year, we received many requests for features we had already planned to implement: media players, smaller distribution size, office suites, better speed, USB functionality, etc. "Sure," we collectively replied, "we'll get right on that."

But we didn't. We tried, but we realized that maintenance releases aren't 1337. Instead, we're back to release SAMAEL, a blackbox gateway that creates -- in a few simple steps -- a secure, anonymizing, transparent firewall and proxy server, protecting its users' love of sex, drugs, and rock and roll from embarrassing public disclosure (even better than the Kennedys).

Making use of Gentoo, Transocks, Tor, and sweet, sweet Python, SAMAEL provides all of the services expected in a modern Linux firewall, including DHCP, a Captive Portal, and Web-Based Administration! The guiding principle of Anonym.OS and its derivative projects has remained "Anonymity for Everyone;" kaos.theory's SAMAEL takes that motto to the next level.

But there's one more thing. And it doesn't involve sweatshop labor or black turtlenecks.

Getting useful, attractive reports out of scanning tools is a bitch. People pay vendors thousands just for some slick charts and graphs. Why? Because SQL is hard for a boot-camp MCSE. So get your 'Security for Dummies' books and your free Nessus downloads ready, folks, because we've got scripts and queries all packaged up as pretty as your mom on a Friday night. kaos.theory's newest member, jonathan white, joins atlas and crew to introduce NARC, the Network Analysis Reporting Console.

In its initial release, NARC can utilize output from common security tools like Nessus, Paros, and NMap to populate a database via automated scripts for reporting purposes. Version 0.DC14 also includes rudimentary reporting capabilities.

Adam Bregenzer (aka arcon) has been working in the IT industry for the last 12 years. Founder of SuperLight Industries, he's a security professional who has gained recognition on the web for websites such as GroupHug.us and BidItOnline.com. He resides in Atlanta with his beautiful wife, Lydia.

atlas:
Gavin Mead (aka atlas) is the product of a misspent youth hunched over the comforting glow of a green-and-black CRT. As monitor technology evolved, so did Gavin's interests in computer and network security, specifically in enterprise risk management frameworks and data privacy protection, leading him to the seedy underworld of security consulting where he met the the rest of the kaos.theory crew. Gavin currently works for KPMG's Security, Privacy, and Continuity practice out of Atlanta, performing penetration testing, risk assessment, framework alignment, and policy development engagements. Gavin holds a B.S. from Georgia Tech and participates actively in local security group meetings and public forums.

beth:
Beth Milliken pokes at computers for fun and profit, Beth has been sleeping lately in the wet spot where technology, ethics, and legal issues run together. She is very interested in educating people about protecting themselves on line - from not-so-nice people, as well as not-so-nice legislation. She works in a large building with lots of glass windows and foamy cube-walls. Beth has pieces of paper saying she is certifiable regarding certain bodies of knowledge, but swears she has no knowledge of where the bodies are.

digunix:
Kevin Miller (aka digunix) is one of the founding members of the DC404 group. Having recently moved back to Atlanta, he can be found near many a public access point with tools in hand. He needs a job BAD. Hook his ass up or he will make you his bitch. GO VEGAN!!
