Kinectasploit: Hack Tools Meet Kinect
mask.of.sanity writes "While Hollywood often fails to portray hacking, one researcher has made the art of exploitation look more like the big screen. Kinectasploit is hacking in the form of a first-person shooter that melds Microsoft's Kinect controls with 20 hacking tools including Metasploit, Snort, Nessus, John the Ripper and Ettercap. The work in progress can be downloaded from github."
Real Hackers(tm) don't hack from a device that records your face, voice, and surroundings... Just sayin'.

Doom as a tool for system administration

It sounds like an elevator equipment room.
Released at defcon 19 2011 and this link is from defcon 20...a year ago.
How did this make it to the top?
Watching the video I'm reminded of the hacking sequences from the Neuromancer game.

To think the amount of food, power, and time wasted in the life of cachimaster... that only contributes to the ultimate heat-death of the universe.
Uh, the Eye Toy was just a basic Web cam.
Cuz we can!

Uh, yeah...
Tell me again how this is worse than porn?
Positive: different expression (than strictly technical) of a tool. Negative: waste of a bunch of peoples time. Conclusion: product made exploiting hacking hype in mainstream America ----> Fail
It's root slash period workspace slash period garbage period.
I'm not signing anything
That's what the ski mask is for...
Slashdot: news for people who just came out of a two-year coma. Stuff that mattered.
It was just a cam, but it was paired with software that did the motion recognition (usually poorly unless you had floodlights in the room). EyeToy compatible games touted motion control with just the EyeToy and your living room. Pity it was so bad at actually detecting accurate motion. I tried mine with DDR and with the EyeToy sampler disc and I failed to get any real accuracy out of it. Then again, I paid a whopping $10 for the EyeToy yoga bundle on clearance.
I wound up using it as my Skype cam as I didn't have any other webcams and I didn't really want to sink more money into hardware I used rarely.
Defending IP by destroying access to it? That makes sense, RIAA/MPAA. Go to the corner until you can play nice!
Isnt SNORT an IDS?

Durrgh. No nudity.
The problem was EyeToy worked by using background differencing. It took two images - and then differenced them to find the motion. (It used a few more frames than that to determine what was background and what wasn't, but the idea holds).
As you can imagine, this works to a limited extent, but if you move too slowly, the differencing algorithm fails because you get low pass filtered as background. In addition, you can't differentiate between things at different depths, so if something falls behind you, it's treated as your motion.
Kinect adds depth sensing (via IR dots) to add depth, making it easier to determine background from not background, as well as do skeletal tracking and such. This gives the ability to differentiate between background movement and foreground, separate multiple people out, etc,
or maybe someone has, the releases are only months apart after all. Daedalus is that Japanese cyber attack visualization thing http://www.diginfo.tv/v/12-0116-r-en.php
