If you are on FreeBSD 7.0 and have problem booting up HeX LiveCD with qemu, try this

kldload aio

and add -std-vga option to qemu command line. For example:-

qemu -boot d -cdrom hex-i386-1.0.2.iso -localtime -std-vga

Have fun!

Malaysian Distributed Honeynet Project led by Spoonfork was accepted by The Honeynet Project as new Chapter on the team. This was a good head start for all of us and I hope our team could work harder.

The RaWPacket team has decided to move cvs to svn a while ago and thanks to Mel for importing Hex cvs to svn which can be found here.

Information Improvisation
Every business wifi today, every individual in wireless internet coverage, now that is what I call a sprint wireless world. There is easy access to wireless internet service today. With a wireless internet cafe sprouting in every street overnight, it is not a wonder. We now not only have a wireless keyboard and mouse, but a wireless printer and scanner as well.

Merry Christmas. HeX development team would like to present you HeX 1.0.2 - The Christmas Release!!!!! Grab it from :-

Beta2 version of Hex LiveCD which integrated bsdinstaller is on the way. ISO build was completed. However, it is currently being tested intensively. We will release it when all tests are completed probably within this week. So stay tuned.

BTW, you probably have seen similar post on Hex LiveCD cover design on geek00l’s blog. There are another 2 designs by Vickson which were not used. But I think they are kinda cute (I like the monkey!). Typo on “FreeBSD” though…
1) Colourful design

2) Purple design

3) Devilish design

Awesome design by Vickson.
