Hi folks. Just a heads up. We'll taking Lavabit down for a couple hours this evening to make some much needed, planned system upgrades.

There is a rumor going around that my #DEFCON talk, "Hacking the Pentagon Climate Control System: A Live Demo" was accepted... for the record, that rumor is only partially true.

This article is why I build all of my docker/vagrant/virtual machines from isos. My team of benevolent robots are now spitting out 305 roboxes every time I click go. That's 25 operating systems, for 6 hypervisors (5 + docker). Plus my custom magma bots. bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/…
