John the Ripper 1.7 is out
John the Ripper 1.7 has been out for nearly a month now (missed that).
As outlined in Solar Designer's announcement, JtR 1.7 became a lot faster (primarily at DES-based hashes), improves on the use of processor specific instructions sets (i.e. MMX on x86), adds an event logging framework and plenty of pre-configured make targets with optimal settings (including for OpenBSD).

A new live CD for OpenBSD users
Further to Anonym OS, OpenBSD Journal reports a new live OpenBSD CD has been released. Compared to a vanilla installation of OpenBSD, OliveBSD adds a sexier Windows Manager and packs several graphic applications.
With live CD's and VMware offering free versions of its virtualization software, you can no longer complain that it is difficult to test new operating systems!
If you want to build your own live OpenBSD CD, have a look at this ONLamp article.
