Keyloggers, password hash cracking, and more python fun

Worked through the keylogger over the past few days. Been having fun seeing what I can get it to pull. I want to see if I can pull location of mouse pointer too, that is next step.
Built a small python program that will crack password hashes, it is rather simple at the moment, but holds promise. I'll release source on these when they are working at least most of the way.

Python is a fun language and I use it for most simple things I do around my systems. Need to take a closer look at 3 as everything I do is in 2.7 still. I use python for organization and cleaning my HDDs. I am a habitual data hoarder. I have random text files of notes I wrote over 10 years ago... I think it's time to clean.
I use one script that looks at files last access date and generates a report for me. That way I can go look at them and see if I still want to keep them. I ignore system and program files. This is almost exclusively pointed at my data server. It also will read from a blacklist and will ignore files there (picture folders). I have it currently set at 6 months but probably should drop that down.

Kali 2.0 frustrations and successes

Well we all saw it happening, we watched it, we experienced it. The massive DDoS attack on the Kali Linux servers, along with the giant upgrade hug we all gave it. It was an eventful day. I saw people taking from 1 hr to 14 hours to download the 3.1 GB ISO. As of right now I have only been able to get the mini ISO to successfully install.
It is stalled out again. When I use the full ISO I get mount issues with using USB where it is looking for the the information under /cdrom instead of /media. Okay not a big deal
ln -s /media /cdrom
Oh wait it didn't like that either... Well I guess I could throw the ISO on there as well.
mount /media/kali2.iso /cdrom -o loop=/dev/loop1
waiting
waiting
waiting
well I guess that wont work in here... hmm
Back to the mini install. All of you are giving it the hug of death still 12 hours after release. I guess I can try a Debian mirror. Lets see if that works.
Decided on the usu.edu server.
That one failed, time to take a systematic approach... Or wait do I care to get this done today?
YES I DO!
Okay time to start at the top of the mirror list.
6 down so far all failing...
all seem to be failing at this point.
I'm going to crash I'll get it going tomorrow. We will see how servers are then.

I had a brain blast over the night. Seems that working tired caused me to slow down, after listening to my brain and sleeping I thought to just watch the mountings when it kept erroring out. It seems that it kept unmounting the /dev/sdb1 (flash drive) so every time it errored out I mounted it again. Did this 3 or 4 times throughout and it worked with out any other issues.

New day, seems like a good day to start a blog

I want to get down what I expect of this blog. I don't really care if it ever gets read, it just helps to write things down. I need more experience actively getting my thoughts down and organized. At first this will be more of a stream of consciousness. I intent to speak about many things, I wont really hold to one thing or another.
I will document my learning, work life, 3d printing, blacksmithing, etc... The more I write I hope it helps me to be able to quickly organize my thoughts and make sense of what I am seeing in my day to day.
