3D Hacking Environment Links Kinect, Blender, and Metasploit

Posted by timothy on from the need-to-work-in-2d-life-angle dept.

baxpace writes with a link describing a way to test your own security systems for vulnerabilities using Kinect-interpreted natural gestures in tandem with the Metasploit Framework and the Blender game engine, writing: "The idea is to hack into your own systems while in a 3D, first person shooter style environment that interfaces with the Kinect sensor. The game engine was built using Blender and looks to be one of the most pleasing ways of uncovering your own systems' architectural/networking vulnerabilities."

    I hate Hollywood style hacking with all that fancy 3D graphics that flash around on the computer screen while the "programmer" sits in front of it typing randomly on the keyboard saying, things like "512 bit encryption", "almost, almost", "come on!", "don't do this to me", "got it!".

    So now we have an actual hacking application with actual 3D graphics that actually mean something. Too bad it doesn't look as cool as in the movies.

    in order to audit your own systems?
    Cool, but rather complex for an audit!

    I smell bullshit. No real-life colleague could make the linguistic jump from taxonomic to taxonomy unaided.
