Who I am: I co-run Mandalorian.com, we break stuff and keep hackers out.
I use pretty much everything. In terms of hardware, I mostly use:
Dell XPS M1530 for day to day work. Possibly the best laptop I've ever had.
Sony SRX 51-P/B (with a Mighty 128mb of Ram and a P3-850 CPU) for home stuff. I'm hoping to move to an MBA after Lion is released and the bugs are worked out.
Mac Mini in the living room for Music, video and photo editing, playing media and browsing HN. This is plugged into a 32" Dell LCD and a Samsung HT C5500 home theatre system.
An iPhone 4 for music/everything on the go. I prefer the stability of my 3G, but it's just too slow these days so iPhone 4 it is. To make matters worse I'm mostly ambidextrous but switch between left and right hand on a phone, so I had to get a mophun pack so I could hold it in my left hand.
I use a Samsonite backback for lugging things around. I don't go to the US so I don't need to worry about TSA searches.
I also have a set of sony iphone headphones that do the job well. They're not quite sennheisers but they have an inline volume control.
I've been using a moleskin notebook for writing things down (instead of a cheap pad). It's not worth the extra to be honest but I got them on a deal. I do seem to take more care of it so I don't lose my notes.
For work, software-wise I use:
Ollydbg, IDA Pro, Immunity Debugger and HBGary Responder Pro for reverse engineering, incident response and the odd bit of vuln dev.
Nessus, Nmap, Hping, Unicornscan, Nikto, Metasploit, CANVAS, Burp Suite Pro and countless smaller tools for penetration testing.
Countless VMs with various OSes on them ranging from Linux to Windows to AROS for various purposes. As the laptop is my main system I also use f.lux. I also have Evernote and dropbox.
On my Sony laptop, I run Arch Linux with Awesome, various zenburn-type hacks and SSH. It's mainly used as an X/SSH terminal, but I also have mutt, irssi, raggle and some other console tools. I use Chromium as my main browser.
On the Mac Mini I use Aperture (although I'm probably going to switch back to Lightroom), VLC, Boxee, Safari, Chrome, GLTerminal, Handbrake, Little Snitch, iTunes (reluctantly), Dropbox and Last.fm.
On the iPhone I mainly use Mail and the built in apps, Salesforce for when I want to check up on sales, IM+ for IM, Backgammon NJ or Game Dev Story when I have a minute, 1Password, AnalyticsPro, Softphone, Facebook, Twittelator pro (for personal) and Tweetdeck (for work), Facebook, FourSquare, Sickipedia, Notifo, Prowl (with some scripts to notify me when certain things finish), Colloquy and TouchTerm, Evernote, MyFitnessPal, Train Times and Tube Deluxe.
