Fist of all I would like to wish all loyal blackbag readers a happy new year!
Just like most people I made some new year’s resolutions. The most important one for you (reader of this blog) is that from now on there will be at least one blog entry per week. And it will always be released on sunday evening (or monday morning). If there is a lot going on maybe it will be even more active here, but on sunday/monday there will be something on blackbag for sure.
And to keep a steady flow of information on this blog, I am looking for informants. That is right, if you have juicy information, or just something you feel would be of interest to the readers of this blog …. please let me know and mail me! (barry at toool nl)
And even tough I like to write about new and inventive things you sometimes will find old news here. But is will be about things I value greatly. Like for instance this posting about the ‘tiger team’.
I read about this great new television show on schneiers blog some days ago, but only had time to watch the video streams today. And boy, I like them!
They cover it all: picking locks, cracking safes using fingerprint powder, bypassing alarm systems with magnets, cloning RF-ID cards from someone walking in the streets, using hidden camera’s, social engineering people, hacking computers, setting up surveillance … the works!
The first two episodes can be found on torrent sites or in the newsgroups (alt.binaries.multimedia: Tiger.Team.S01E01.DSR.XviD-iHT, Tiger.Team.S01E02.DSR.XviD-iHT) …. and I will keep an eye open for new episodes ….
Hope you will be able to download them and … visit blackbag on Sunday!
Barry,
Great new years resolution, I look forward to reading more interesting things in your blog. I just finished watching the two episodes of tiger team, very interesting show, nice to see a little lock picking, and the vulnerabilities of the prox card HID systems. Hopefully they will have some more episodes.
All the best to you and your family in the new year……..

Hey Barry, happy new your to you as well.
I was introduced to tiger team a few days ago, a member of LP101 actually knows the guys and he asked me to email court TV (I think they changed there name on Jan 1st to something else), I’m sure the guys from tiger team would appreciate anyone else that downloads a copy taking the time to show the support so the networks know people are watching and so we can make sure we get a second season.

Good NY resolution 🙂
I’ve seen the two episodes of Tiger Team, and yes, they’re really fun to watch. Especially the second episode, where they feel a bit defeated by the sturdiness of the premisses. I like how inventive that made them 🙂
Barry,
Happy to hear you liked the show. We are waiting to hear back from the network but overall the show was very well received. Thank you for all your work with TOOOL and LP101, both have been great resources for all of us to learn from. See you in the Village at Defcon.
Pyr0: nice to see you here, and thanks for the kind words!
I really hope it will all work out for you guys and there will be a follow-up.
About Defcon: I have never been to Defcon … maybe it is time for me to visit and maybe even give a presentation there … Who knows 😉
Happy New Year, too!
Great show, thanks a lot for the hint on how one could watch it in Europe.
That’s really great fund to watch, nice and friendly guys and the whole thing is even realistic.
I just wonder when I hear a story of someone tricking the guys into opening somebody else’s business, then go in during the rest of the night and really rob them… I hope the Tiger Team doesn’t fall for professional social engineering as well – a thing that could happen to people with special abilities, they don’t expect others to have them as well…
Cheers,

Just found a one hour interview with the guys that do tiger team.

Great show but it looks like a balancing act as to what is shown re methods which is perhaps a good thing.
Thank god for torrents not sure when this program might appear on local pay-tv here in Oz but its now on my list of must haves.
Thanks
