Complete Wardriving Guide

Filed under: Net Security around 11:43 pm

This is the White paper on wardriving (in .pdf format). It covers equipment and software needed. Also contains information on how to detect when you are the target. Another helpful link is the Wardrive FAQ. Put them together and you have a pretty complete guide.

Note that this guide is over 3 years old… It’s really not practical to have a dedicated computer (off your WLAN) constantly listening for *potential* wardrivers. Anyway, some information can’t hurt if it’s meant to be for your own safety.

Defcon’s Infamous Wall of Sheep

Filed under: Net Security around 6:46 pm

Take K. Rose’s advice… If you’re going to Defcon, don’t turn on your laptop.

Anyway, this would be a good place to test your laptops security. Just make sure that you got nothing of value on it, and for good measure format it afterwards. As you can turn on your laptop, don’t be an idiot and transfer passwords over the network in clear text. People who throw out plaintext passwords on a insecure wifi network are just stupid. Wasn’t it Patrick Norton the one who said don’t turn your laptop on anywhere near Defcon? Best thing to do is just VPN to a machine outside with strong encryption….

If I go to Defcon for sure I’ll turn on my laptop, I’ll submit every phony password and username to make people think WTF!!!, ah the beauty of POST and GET requests.

One of the biggest issues at Defcon the last couple years has been rouge access points. It’s quite simple to spoof MAC addresses and over power genuine signals. Imagine hearing people whine after showing up on the wall of sheep will be awesome. Lots of people were taken by the wall of sheep, including Winn and even a Fed was spotted by reading the header from an email that was captured.

200 Amazing Secrets

Filed under: Eye Catching, Interesting Findings around 6:46 pm

200 Amazing Secrets is available free of charge. Wait until you can see the entire document then use the ’save as’ command in the file menu to save to hard disk.

A word of caution: Don’t read more than a 10 or 15 of those items on that page. If you do (like me - I read about 30 of them) then browse some pages with a white background, you’ll be seeing red for a while. :) What a bad color scheme? I think i just went blind with this. They should have picked a different background.

AGAIN… Wait until AFTER you’ve saved it - that way you can change the background color of the page, or for Firefox: View -> Page Style -> No Style for the lazy. Another way is to just save the text as a document…. Copy the text and paste it into Notepad or some other text editor, else you’ll be complaining the red effect screw you right up - and you thought something was wrong with your monitor at first. Can’t they just put up text without giving aneurysms?

Here’s some errr… excerpts:

  • Anyone notice #16 doesnt have an answer? also, for #19, wouldnt strapping your watch to a lightbulb potentially warp the inner parts like the springs or assorted other plastic pieces of the watch and ruin it even more?
  • another bad idea is #60….applying ice to burn-damaged skin can cause a cold burn; it’s better to put the burn under running cold but not icy water
  • #85 fruit for stomach? i think they ran out of ideas for this one….i totally hate it when i eat fruit and it goes straight to my thighs instead
  • BTW how do you ‘expose’ piano keys to darkness?
  • How to clean a phonograph? Who wrote this list - Montogomery Burns?
  • Who doesn’t need #180… Cheese cutting tips.
  • 88. Fruit for neutralising acid: Lemons??
Here’s some more… add it yourself… bwahahahaha….

201. Instead of blue or red, use a white background.
202. Don’t drink bleach.
203. Don’t refreeze raw meat.
204. “Ted, don’t forget to wind your watch.”
205. Don’t stand in front of a moving car.
206. Do not eat yellow snow.
207. Do not fall asleep in the bathtub.
208. dont make a 209
209. Don’t read 208
210. What’s 211? :P
211. Eat MeowMix and you will live longer by 9 years. :P
212: Drinking Red Bulls later in the night keeps you up way longer than you want to be.

Someone needs to forward this to the Mythbusters.

213. ignore 213
214. Don’t eat yellow snow!
215. Don’t waste your time reading these secrets.

Tip:
To get rid of the hiccups if you haven’t eaten in awhile: swallow your saliva rapidly and hard. You hiccuping in that instance is your stomach telling you that it’s sick of being hungry (yes, they’ve done studies that prove that the stomach has emotions), and if you have no food handy you have to fool it. That, or just eat something. ;)

A Wikipedia entry for “FCKGW”???

Filed under: Interesting Findings around 6:44 pm

One of the most common Windows XP keys known has it’s own Wikipedia Entry. Interesting tidbits regarding the key. (legal note: The full key is not in it anywhere, now will I give it out!).

I think every geek knows that key by heart… but its sad when you can recite a cd key lol . Microsoft will own us by 2010 and by 2010, we’ll be at Jupiter with Roy Scheider.

Ya know it always seemed a political message to me that the key started with FCKGW. I guess the key might pre date any possibility of that though. I always saw it as “Fuck G.W.” as in Fuck Bush. I tend to believe that GW is indeed Gates William or perhaps it’s Gates and Windows — GW. Version of DOS up to maybe 5.0 used to have a basic enterpriter named GWBASIC. Everybody knows that writing basic language interpreter was probably the only good thing William Gates did in his life. Or maybe it’s a key for Dell. i.e. f** gateway.

Just for reference, the illegal copies start with BR89Q, C4BH3, RD6W4, KCQ9Q, CD87T, RH6M6, and RKQ2P.

Here’s a little secret, if you put the name of software in Google and follow it with 5 letters from a Windows XP key - (Not fckgw) - you can find the serial of just about any program.

Try it - ie: Battlefield 1942 *5 letter windows serial*

Enjoy, lil’ pirate trick there

Although It’s just part of the CD key used to install Windows. Google will find plenty of references but it’s not hard to find it in the wikipedia entry’s history :p

Useful Windows Software

Filed under: Freebies around 6:44 pm

Huge list of useful Windows applications. Even if you think you’ve got it all, there is going to be something here for everyone.

A great resource for just about everything under the sun. I’ve really like the XP Powertoys, the graphing calculator is great as is TweakUI. Here’s where you can further refer about SH/SC (Serious Hardware / Software Crap)

Just a note here, many of the programs listed as “Free” are actually shareware with a free trail. AKA not Free.

There are some missing like CamStudio, a very cool piece of free software (screen video recorder). It’s nearly impossible to find on Google if you don’t know its name already because the crappy commercial ones have spammed up the Google listings, which is why it needs to be on pages like this.

This site only briefly mentions (and doesn’t link to or describe) one of the application suites: Cygwin. Cygwin is a, “Cygwin is a Linux-like environment for Windows” consisting of a Linux API emulation layer and a collection of *nix tools. I find it programs essential for anyone stuck using Windows but needing to deal with *nix machines.

There’s also a lil program listed there called “NetMeter” (free and the beta version works fine) it’s almost exactly like “DU Meter” (not free). I love this little program. being able to see all my net traffic (including local network) is great.

Here’s another one of the Best list I have Seen! It is an exellent one as well.

9 great JavaScripts

Filed under: CSS around 6:43 pm

If you are big on Javascripts, then here are nine javascripts which you just cannot afford to miss.

One slacking thing about this due is, he just need to put this one up over at Geocities… sheesh… So, expect some bandwidth limit exceed. Aper lar… bangang!! Doesn’t he know that Geocities, Angelfire, or any of the other old school crapmunity sites have bandwidth restrictions?

In case you tried and didn’t see the page, try again soon nd mirror it some where else as access to this site will be restored within an hour. In the mean time, here’s the Cached Version

Firefox Popups

Filed under: Browsers around 6:42 pm

You know those annoying flash popups…Well you can say goodbye to them now. Asa Dotzler (one of the actual developers of Firefox) described this solution.

I would think this should already be taken care of if you’ve got FlashBlock as I was just thinking today I’ve been getting a lot more popups in Firefox lately. If it blocks flash popups it will also block pop ups meant for accessing websites that you need to get to. Anyways the next version of Firefox will have exceedingly stronger pop up blocking. In fact, this is already the default setting on Deer Park Alpha.

This may block some sites like for example movie sites with embedded flash movie trailers. I have a flash extension that blocks them but, I have to click the tab to block. Nice tip if you dont mind blocking the embedded flash you want to keep.

Filed under: Google SiteMaps around 12:45 pm

Pingoat just announced the launch of its new online Google sitemap generator tool. It crawls your site and creates a sitemap instantly (you can have it gzipped too). It can also automatically upload it to your website and Ping/notify google of your new sitemap.

The Simpson’s Guide to Springfield Map with Flickr Notes

Filed under: Eye Catching around 11:16 am

Over 400 notes marking keys Simpsons history. From Moe’s Tavern to the box factory.

Someone (whoever did the notes) has waaaay to much spare time. What is the point of tagging things that can already be read on the map?

I have to admit though, even though this person who made this map had why to much free time, it helps in the sense in how POINTLESS this really is… do we need all that?? Huh?? Really?? come on now. Didn’t know Springfield was that large.

Uhh.. BTW, most big points of interest are bold and the original map was taken from Guide to Springfield USA.

CSS Image Transparency for IE, Mozilla and Safari

Filed under: CSS around 11:13 am

There is no single way to create a cross browser image transparency. This tutorial tells you how to make it work in 3 of the most popular browsers.

Very useful to know but its been around for years. Flickr uses this technology so unregistered users can’t save your pictures if you don’t want them to.

I much prefer using png’s and a little behavioral javscript. It also links a page with similar scripts not associated with css background images. I’ve never figured out why nobody uses this more often… It was posted 2 years ago.

Here’s another interesting related article - Sleight of hand.
