Re: This ain't a scene, it's a gd arms race.

The base page for Beagle ++ is: http://beagle.kbs.uni-hannover.de/ . They claim you need the Xvid codec to view the video properly. It was a bit iffy in on my OS X box until I refreshed it and mussed with it a bit. But it played fine after a few knocks. Essentually the idea is that I download a lot of mailspools, and I want to search them in a "
semantic" way ("weather" should return emails on "Snow" and "Cold"). Likewise I want the tool to automatically determine the references between people. All the people looking up yellowcake recipies and centrifuges should belong to a group, for example, that gets returned when I search on "Nukes".

Nobody's even released a tool that allows you to report on all the normal things you do during a pen test, so I doubt anyone is going to release a specialized data mining tool for hackers anytime soon. But maybe API's like Beagle++ make the development of a special purpose tool unnecessary.

How cool are the new desktop search tools in Linux? Answer: Gelato in Miami Summer Cool.

Imagine if you could hook this up to your hacking tools and browse other people's information streams the way you can browse your own? Seems like it would be pretty easy to do. I should make CANVAS output its knowledge tree to Beagle++ and see what it looks like.
