During this summer vacation, i had a lot of stuff to concentrate on and increase my knowledge in..one of them was penetration testing, and after some deep thinking, i think that my future dream job now is to open a firm specialized in penetrarion testing which is a service that i don’t think we have here in egypt (and may be companies are not interested too much in the security systems of their organizations !)..

Anyway, so in order to be a professional penetration tester, you have to be knowledgable in the 2 portions of the game..the security game

1. Defensive Security: and this is the field of studies of most of the people out there studying security where they learn techniques that helps them to “protect” their networks and systems.
2. Offensive Security: where you can learn how the real Hackers and Crackers work, where you do the exact kind of attacks that any intruder will think of when trying to penetrate your network ,the bottom line is “think like them so you can defeat them”. Read more…

When i first heard of Google Chrome, the amazing browser, i was really amazed specially after reading the story behind it, but what made me mad was that it was supported only under window$ systems and not yet available for other Operating Systems like Linux and Mac OS.

Well, the good news is that we have a port for Linux systems right now :biggrin: , done by the company that made CrossOver: the famous application for emulating windows apps under Linux..and they called it “Chromium”.

But don’t get too excited, Chromium actually works by using the windows version of chrome but using appropriate emulation of WINE (Windows Emulator) so you will find some problems with fonts, performance..looks like we will have to wait for the native release from google any way  :cwy: (still this try is  a good one thought)

I will be posting some screen shots of my test isA..

To download the Binaries for Linux:

• CrossOver Chromium for Ubuntu and Debian (32 bit)
• CrossOver Chromium for Ubuntu and Debian (64 bit)
• CrossOver Chromium for Red Hat, Mandriva, and Suse
• CrossOver Chromium for all other Linux distros.
