'I WANNA BE AN AMERICAN IDIOT!'

Well iwanna just announce to the world that i fully intend to move to the states in the next two years. i have given myself untill i am 28 to finish off my bsc and save up every penny i can to start a new life out in the states. this is a misserable little shell of a country, Great Britian used to be a solid strong independant place fully on the way to and well known for being a nation of professionals. Now we are a nation of thugs and lazy fat selfish people who, quite frankly, i am ashamed to be a part of....

what happened? well i have an idea but we shall keep that to ourselves shall we...

laters taters...

sory its been a while...

Hey kiddies its been a while, ive been had my head craned toward the particle physics comunity eagerly waiting in anticipation of the LHC in switzerland. its been put around by many physists as revolutionary answers and a potential doorway to completely new science and by some un-informed scaremongers as "the end of the world" hmmm well were not dead yet are we? i wanna put these people straight...

the "black hole particles" that will be created are so infetesimaly small that you would have to run the lhc constantly for thousands of years to swallow up any noticeable amount of mass from the earth. Richard Feynman put it very well when hes likened particle physics to chess with different rules being the laws of physics and obviously particles, we may watch the game being played and the pieces being moved and so we learn how the game works. Well imagine a chess board 10^-1000 by 10^1000 and your only lookin at a 6 by 6 square now if each piece makes every possible move on the board eventually we will see every piece's move and so learn but 6 is only a tiny fraction of 10^1000 and as such we may learn all the properties but with little or no significant danger... so stop panicking people...

hack hack hack,

this is actually not ngoing to be a normal post. im going to have a rant this morning im pissed off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok kiddies heres some more rivveting hacks and hot fixes from uncle "zer0c0ol" in todays age of internet usage i think its time that we branch out into some web hacking, this guide only has the purpose of showing you the basic principles of a few minor injection principles. If you are expecting to learn how to deface websites then forget it, its really not good form or in the true spirit of hacking. what we are however going to learn is how to fool a website into thinking you are someone other than yourself, for exaple martin log's on as jenny, without her password. Ok so the first method we are goingf to use is sql injection.
SQL injection refers to the act of someone inserting a MySQL statement to be run on your database without your knowledge. Injection usually occurs when you ask a user for input, like their name, and instead of a name they give you a MySQL statement that you will unknowingly run on your database.

a basic sql injection statement looks a bit like this

' or 1=1
' or x=x
' or 1

these three statements are all true statements, 1=1, x=x, 1, and by inputting them into a mysql password on an login.asp page then you will be telling the mysql server that the password is true, thus giving access now i must point out that you should be adding this "true" statement toward an account for entry. the idea being, login = username/admin, password = ' or 1=1. so your telling the server that amy winehouse is trying to login and authorisation is "true".

the second method is javascript injection.
this involves edditing your cookies. ever notice that you logged into a site like facebook then navigated away from the site and then back again. youre still logged in this is because your login details are stored in the site cookies that you hold on your computer and the site checks these for authorisation every time you load a page from that site.
the first thing we need to do is look at our cookies so go to any page and in the address bar (URL) we type

javascript: alert(document.cookie);

this brings up a little grey notice box with all our cookie information on it and most websites with login will have your details held on here, ege, (phpsessid=mary0404) or (loginid=admin1 auth=true) so these details are what we look to change.

javascript: void(document.cookie="phpsessid=martin2012");

now your logged in as martin not mary. this only works on low level security sites.

ok using javascript to get rid of annoying adverts. this javascript lets you delete anything off the local copy of a webpage, please note that this method doesnot do anything to the main website but does ammend the version you download when you view your page. so handy for getting rid of adds.

javascript: document.body.contentEditable = "true"; document.designMode= "on"; void 0

input this script the same way as before and hit enter now you can ammend the page as you like. you should also note that once you close the page the next time you open it you will have to repeat the process again.

well kiddies im off to get tea, miisin ya allready xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx X

the fake virus update

the abort procedure for the fake virus is as follows...

click "start"
then click "run"
now type in shutdown -a
the -a stands for abort so your telling the computer to abort any shutdown process at that particular time. Its the only way to abort it.

a little note...

im watchin stardust AGAIN such a feel good film. and Claire Danes is so unbelievably HOT!!! lol any way back to proper blogging

Asus EEEpc the Hakkers best friend pt2...

well i made a pot of tea and i have my last cigarette EVER in my hand now so ive decided to give you a bit more of my time on this subject. Another great feature of this amazing machine is the built in sdhc card reader, this means MORE FLASH STORAGE yey. Now there are draw backs to flash media such as the life span, you only get about 500000 writes to a good one before you have to bin it and get a new one, however they are so cheap nowadays even for good ones that this really isnt an issue. I obtained a new SDHC MMC card 32gb for only £42 including shipping from mymemmory.com i feel I felt that £42 for about 18months worth of moderate to heavy use of 32gb of storage is a very good deal and when i come to upgrade this again its either gonna cost less for the same or im gonna be able to get more for the same money. Now if your interested in the eee for the same main reason that i was (the "War Driving" potential) your gonna need a seperate operating system such as "Backtrack" you can download this from

http://www.remote-exploit.org/cgi-bin/fileget?version=bt3-usb

all you need to do is download this to your usb device or as i have an sdhc card in windows, and open it go into the boot folder then double click the "bootinstall" bat file (little dos window icon)
now your ready to go that simple. now plug your flash device into your asus and reboot. at the first boot screen hit f2 now select your device as the first boot device and save changes and exit. now just wait for the linux kernel to load select the top graphics setting when asked and your in.
Backtrack has some excellent features and a massive host of software like airsnort Kismet and miloworm to name just a few the video codecs for watching films and video files is a let down otherwisse i would have said this slax based os would be a great main operating system... aahh well (sigh)

Now lets look at battery life. a new and well kept battery will last about two hours with constant wireless maybe three without the wireless on. I have looked into all the different ways to extend this such as installing a solar panel on the back or even modding another battery to charge the original up and the best way to optimise your battery life is to purchase another battery, the Extended asus 6600mah battery at £42 from http://www.battery-locator.co.uk. This comes with 6 cells and will last the user around 5 hours plus a smart user will carry his or her old fully charged battery with them as a backup giving them around 8 hours of constant use. There is rumours of a new "All day battery" however long they gauge a full day???

ok im making another pot of tea so see you soon

Asus EEEpc the Hakkers best friend...

Recently i was admitted to hospital, actually a few times and i had surgery on a couple of occasions. Bored out of my brain i decided to use my time in a very productive way and turn my hand to doing what i do best, breaking things and putting them back together. i had seen the asus eeepc and immiediatly i saw some great potential in such a portable and actually very pretty machine. your basic 701 4gb surf comes with a gig of ram and a 900mhz processor and the thing that imediatly drew me to this little beast, the SSD (solid state drive) this drive is a wonderfull device. It has no moving parts wich means straight away we have more battery life.

Ok what i did with mine over the past few months of tinkering im gonna list in sections, "No exp" and "Be carefull!"

No exp

First is our software updates the basic linux operating system comes with easy mode only running, there is the option to get "FULL KDE" this is a graphic user interface that looks a hell of alot like the notorious Windows XP.

first boot up, another wonder of this "little killer" is the boot speed, i cloked mine the first boot i did (after setup boot) at only 17 seconds, WOW.

ok so were on the 'widely known as' "fisher price" desktop.
For this part we must be connected to the internet, so get connected now.
Then press Ctrl+Alt+T
this brings up a terminal, and for all those windows only till now noobs, its essentialy the linux version of dos.

in our terminal we say we are the "root" or "Super User" so we type in...

su (hit enter)
now we are asked for the root password, type in the password we set when first booted and setup linux, then hit enter again. Now we are logged into the terminal as the super user.
Now type...

apt-get update (enter)

this gets all the updates for usnow type...

apt-get install ksmserver kicker (hit enter)

now you get a long list of components that are downloaded from the asus eeepc software repository.

you will be asked if you want to install untrusted software this is not a problem just hit

y (enter)

ok thats it just hit thelittle shutdown button in the bottom right and now on the far left of your options you can boot into the full desktop mode. Personaly i got bored of the desltop mode and decided to hack up my easy mode to get it looking pretty damn cool.

next thing we want to do is install a program called tweakeee this has loads of really usefull other programs like eeecontroll and emeditor. So...

Enter the command

wget http://www.infinitedesigns.org/eeepc/tweakeee_0.4-0.i386.deb

Next enter the command

chmod +x tweakeee_0.4-0.i386.deb

Finally Enter this command to start the installation

sudo dpkg -i tweakeee_0.4-0.i386.deb

To run the program, you can either type in a terminal

tweakeee

or in the Settings tab there should be an icon for TweakEEE


NOTE EEEcontrol is an software overclocking program DONOT set this over 75 and make sure it is "vmod" u can set the fan to 100 if you like but your battery will be affected.

otherwise look through tweakeee you can do somuch with this like starting to change easy mode and using different cursors to getting more games even open arena (quake 3 clone)

im tired so Be Carefull section and miscelaneous will have to come tomorow.

Internet For Everyone Project...

Well its a dilemma for most of us, how do we get broadband everywhere, without paying extorsionate fee's for mobile broadband with limited downloads, usually ontop of our home broadband fee's. IFEP is a project that im currently working on to provide totally free wireless broadband to everyone everywhere! Based on an idea i had when thinking about the new to the market "ipod touch" and "iphone" using gps technology the ONLY cost will be to replace your old wireless card or ethernet card with a compatible gprs card that WILL NOT be expensive. its in its primary stages at the moment and im calling on anyone and everyone who feels they may be-able to work on this comunity project, to brainstorm all areas from rocket scientist to give suitable suggestions on launching and deployment of satelites to software engineers and hardware engineers to comeup with possible design ideas for user end cards and interfaces, ways to share bandwidth equally and make it a secure and safe interface for everyone.

send all inquiries and ideas to zer0c0ol@live.co.uk

making a fake virus DEAD simple...

this is for windows users
Right click on your desktop, then make a new short-cut. You will get a box pop-up telling you to join the shortcut to something.

in the white bar next to the browse button type
shutdown -s -t 1200 -c "your computer has been Mad Haked by zer0c0ol "

the 1200 is the amount of seconds untill the computer shuts down and the part in quotes can be changed for whatever you feel like taunting the victim with. muaaahahahaha....

now click next, it will ask you next to name the program, so if its for a joke name it like a picture or maybe a java game they play. Now, you must change the icon of the shortcut. right click on the icon and select properties.

Now click change properties. It is on the lower half of the screen.
then another window will open click browse and look in your drive for an apropriate icon either a jpeg file icon or a game icon from anything you may have installed. click it and press ok. after you click ok it will return back to the last window. click ok on that one as well.

Now our fake virus is completed we need to zip the file up. use winzip or any other file zipper you may have. this is becauseb if you try sending the file over msn live it the name still comes up as shutdown.exe, name the zip file the same as the original and away you go. send it on msn messenger or email or carry it around on a usb penstick just incase the oppurtunity arises for you to dump it on there desktop... want to know how to abort this email me at udv_vdu@hotmail.com

Ok here's a mad bad hack for all "wardrivers".
We are gonna be looking at the hidden potential of the apple iphone, or ipod touch( as they are essentially the same thing just one doesnt have the phone bit)
just picture it your scouting out for wireless networks. instead of using your big beefy laptop you want something more descreet? an iphone or ipod touch is the answer. looks GOOD and its so inconspicous.

ok so heres the deal.
first we need to jail break the new 2.0.2 3g software release thanks to the dev team we have a stable release of "PwnageTool 2.0.2" so google this download it and jail break your software. (all the manuals that your gonna need if youve never done this sort of thing before are easy to get ahold of just google "PwnageTool 2.0.2 setup/manual" should do the trick. once you have super user accesss to your unit we need to get a stable copy of aircrack-ng this should be in your new update app's
part of your iphone or ipod "os". thats about it really apart from setting up aircrack-ng.

ive not tried this myself yet allthough i will be getting one next week and doing it imiediately.....

These are essential pieces of software for the asus eeepc, there dead easy to get and set-up, it has to be said they help to make this little machine a great "wardriving" tool.

Tweakeee
http://www.infinitedesigns.org/eeepc/tweakeee_0.4-0.i386.deb
contains loads of software repositories, and a resource for Econtroll an over clocking program where you can set the fan to stop your machine over heating the way it does.

BackTrack 3
http://www.remote-exploit.org/cgi-bin/fileget?version=bt3-usb
this is a usb or sdhc card mountable operating system, it contains all the wardriving software and security maintanence, your ever gonna need. plus it has some really cool graphics.

emeditor
(use tweakeee to obtain)
after installing the full kde i decided i can do everything i want from easymode but i wanted to change those gawdy fisher price icons, this program made it take seconds.

Making the start bar Fast

Ok this nifty little trick is gonna take away some of that computer rage we all get from time to time. First of go to the start bar and click run. now type in

regedit

this opens up registry editor


now click on the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder, then control panel and finaly desktop. Now we have a whole long list of files, right now we are only concerned with is called MenuShowDelay. double click this and change the delay from 400 to 0. Now save, close everything down and re-start when you do there will be no delay when you open the start menu.
Ok go back to run, type in

regedit

now explore around try different things, just remember only change one thing at a time and make a note of what the original parameters were so you can change things back just incase.

Hacking the BIOS password

This instructable is a complex myriad of complex strings commands and programming at its most difficult. When confronted with the password screen, repeatedly hit esc really fast, until you have flooded the keyboard and voila, choose your boot device and away you go...
difficult huh.

XP hack

Hacking Xp passwords.

This “how to” is designed to show you how easy it is to gain entry to a Window's Xp operating system as the administrator.

Log in as a guest user or any user with a limited profile,

after you have logged on as your restricted user, go to...

start -> run -> (type in cmd, this will open ms'dos prompt

now you are faced with dos, don't be afraid this is going to make life quick and easy.

start by typing in,

net user

This will give us a list of all the users on the target computer, now choose the admin's login name e,g,

net user Administrator

This gives us a flood of non restricted information about this user, now type the same command again followed by a * like so,

net user Administrator *

(almost there now, ready for the magic bit?)
Ok so now we will see this,


just type in a new password, re-type the password to confirm it and away we go.
Now log out click on the log in as Administrator button that we saw at the start type the new password that we set for the Administrator. Well i bet your all worried now that your xp system is full of holes, well it is but i am gonna give you some tips on how to plug it up a bit. The first thing you can do is either remove all user accounts that do not have passwords active on them or set passwords on all accounts immediately. The next very basic but equally secure thing we can do is set a bios password, now these are not infallible, however it is enough to restrain access to your pc from the majority of “have a go hackers”
heres how.

When you first boot your pc you will see a boot screen at the bottom with usually two options for bios settings or boot settings, these are generally f2, f8, f11 or f12

we are interested in the bit at the bottom it says f2 for settings, you have to be quick, once you get there. We are looking for security section, you navigate the bios screens with the arrows on your keyboard.

so change/set the password and now the operating system wont boot up without it. As i have said before there are ways of getting around this, we will be visiting this later.
