     Nov. 15, 2009 - I have finally gotten around to putting up the HFAC Forum. I have started a couple of threads for Katana and hope for more soon.
     I also wanted to thank Johnny Long and Hacker For Charity for helping us find some mirrors for Katana. I have added a link to Hacker For Charity on the homepage in hopes people will check out what they are doing and find out how to help.

     Oct. 31, 2009 - Happy Halloween everyone! I am excited to anounce the first full version of Katana is out. Katana v1 (codename Kyuz-0) comes fully loaded with Backtrack 4 pre, the Ultimate Boot CD, Organizational Systems Wireless Auditor (OSWA) Assistant, Got Root? Slax, Ophcrack Live, Damn Small Linux, Damn Vulnerable Linux and an option to add the Ultimate Boot CD 4 Windows. Katana also comes preconfigured with over 100 portable Windows applications such as Wireshark, HiJackThis, Unstoppable Copier, and OllyDBG.

     Oct. 7, 2009 - Bugfix for pwntooth. The makefile for the tools was updated and should work fine now. I am also in the process of finishing Katana v1. I hope to have it out within the next few weeks.

     Aug 17, 2009 - On my way to and from DefCon 17 I started work on a new tool and an update. I fixed some major bugs with pwntooth with how I handled iterations and where the config file was loaded from. I posted the updated code. I also started work on a Bluetooth device cloner. Its in beta right now, but should be up soon.
     I have been spending the last couple weeks working on the first full release of Katana. Right now I am looking into portable Windows applications to add. I hope to have it out in October.

     July 08, 2009 - I made updates to vCardBlaster and Blueper. Mainly just fixing some bugs. I also released a NEW tool; pwntooth. pwntooth is designed to automate Bluetooth Pen-Testing. It scans for devices, then runs the tools specified in the pwntooth.conf; included blueper, bluesnarfer, Bluetooth Stack Smasher (BSS), carwhisperer, psm_scan, rfcomm_scan, and vcardblaster.

     May 22, 2009 - Katana 1.0 Beta has been released! Thanks to the Virginia Tech folks for allowing me to use their mirror site. I have bundled the package in a RAR file, so users can use something like WinRAR(Windows), PeaZip(Windows/OSX/Linux) or unrar(Linux). See the Katana project page for more information and installation instructions.

     May 20, 2009 - Blueper 0.2 and vCardBlaster 0.2 have been released! They are being hosted from SourceForg.NET. You can get them from the Downloads page.

     I have finished the Beta for Katana v1. I am working on hosting it right now. It has come out to just over 6GB, so it fits nicely on an 8GB flash drive. You should easily be able to get a USB flash drive of this size for less the 20 bucks online. I would love to get feedback on these new project. My contact information is on the About page.

     May 18, 2009 - Hack From A Cave.com is up and running! It's hitting the ground running with several projects already available. The current major project consuming most of my time is Katana. It should be available soon. This tool includes many distributions under one roof, so to speek. Including: Backtrack, The Ultimate Boot CD, Ophcrack, Slax 6, Damn Small Linux and more...
     Some of the other tools coming soon are Blueper and vCardBlaster. Each of these tools is preforms a Bluetooth based DoS. They exploit file transfer and vCard messaging respectively.
