3D Hacking Environment Links Kinect, Blender, and Metasploit 93
baxpace writes with a link describing a way to test your own security systems for vulnerabilities using Kinect-interpreted natural gestures in tandem with the Metasploit Framework and the Blender game engine, writing: "The idea is to hack into your own systems while in a 3D, first person shooter style environment that interfaces with the Kinect sensor. The game engine was built using Blender and looks to be one of the most pleasing ways of uncovering your own systems' architectural/networking vulnerabilities."

Manager: What is slashdot?
Sr Network Admin: Its a um.. hmm.. I guess you'd call it a computer based continuing education tool.
Manager: Really, that sounds great, I want the whole department spending a couple hours a day on this slashdot.
