Novell Network Security

Ok, quick post. All I have to say in this one is about Novell. The highschool I went to had a bunch of computers in it as most did. It worked on a login based setup using Novell's Networking Utilities. Well, there are always backdoors which involve going into the command prompt or restarting and loading up in safe mode with command prompt to bypass the sysadmin password. Thats a long drawn out process that takes about 7 minutes to do and 45 minutes to explain. So I decided to give you a good link to a bunch of Novell Network Hacking Programs which will make your job a much easier one. [Link]

Sorry I didn't audio post this weekend. I had a birthday sunday so I was pretty busy. I also had a lot of homework which kept me more busy than the birthday.

Another bit of good fun is that we've become "partners" with another blogger. IDDX (Informative Developed Detailed Xperiences)
Basically "partners" means that we have a image link on our sites to each other's blogs. We cover a similar field of info so if you like our site, check out his.

Lighter Overclock

Ok, This is a tribute to Kevin Rose and his ability to overclock every day house hold items. I also put little arrows and circles on the pictures to guide your eyes on what to look at specifically. Granted the arrows and circles are really crappy, but they're there. This isn't the only Item we'll be overclocking in the time that we do this, but it will be one of them. A common lighter

Many people will notice this kind of lighter. There is one specific requirement for this overclock. It must be a lighter that has a control where you can turn up and down the flam size.

Once yo uhave this type of lighter you'll need to take the metal casing off of the top of the lighter by simply applying pressure to the inside in an outward direction.

The metal is weak enough to where it should bend easily. Once you bend the metal outward and take the metal casing off you'll see the control is actually a little black lever hooked onto a cog. Turn the gas all the way up, or to the + side. Then push the lever upward to when you can move it without turning the cog.

*NOTE: don't remove the lever, simply move it upward.

While the lever is able to be moved without moving the cog, move the lever to the side that would normally turn the flame down, or the - side.

Since it didn't turn the cog, it didn't turn the flame down. Now you will push the lever back down to where you can move the cog with it again. Once you can do that turn the flame up again, or to the + side again.
*Repeat this once or twice. Each time you do this the flame will get bigger.

This will turn the flame up a lot, Remember this. Your flame will go from something like this

A crappy inch high flame to this

A hand held flame thrower.

*Note sometimes the liquid will be put out and little fireballs will shoot out. Plus this will use the fluid a lot faster and as with everying that has to deal with flamable gas and fire, theres no gurantee that the lighter will not explode in your hand.

I take no responsibility for damage done by people using this knowledge.

This has been Overclocking a Lighter.

Social Engineering???

Ok, my last text based post was about social engineering and the trickery of credit card companies. Normally, since we're not that famous, I don't get emails about out site's info. Since this got to the front page of Digg, this site has gotten a little more traffic and one of the things I've noticed is I've gotten a few emails. 2 to be exact. Both were responding to the credit card post. The first was talking about whether or not it's legal to post that on my blog and the other was a question "what is social engineering?" This amazed me...I thought social engineering was a pretty well known thing, but I guess not. The guy said he'd googled it and not gotten any decent working definitions so he asked me. My answer is as Follows:

Social engineering is the search for and use of knowledge. Knowledge is power and Social Engineering Experts know how to use it to hteir advantage. Normally the goal of social engineering is to gain access to something that you're not normally allowed to have access to. The most popular target of such uses of knowledge was AT&T when Kevin Mitnick used it. Today you hear of people stealing identities, credit card numbers, even phone card numbers. I can almost guarantee you that if yours was stolen, you in fact gave it to them personally. Social engineering can be used over the phone, online, or in person. There is no limits on social engineering as it is all encompassing.

Dumpster diving, which is going into the dumpster of a major company looking for information on how they use their technology IE. passwords, security settings, names, phone numbers, and lingo used in the workplace, has been consitered by some as social engineering but I don't believe it is, I believe it's simply collecting knowledge while social engineering is using the knowledge. So, I hope that answered your question.

OK, now for my actual post. Stegnos is a company that makes some decent internet tools. A Hacker Toolkit which give you a bunch of viruses and antiviruses on a cd that you can study as well as several random tools. Internet Anonym is a mass proxy program which also has built in a very nice format program which, just in case the cops come, will destroy everything you have and write over it 32 times. Good tools to just have around. And you've heard of a bootable version of linux such as Slax or KnoppixSTD, buw what about a bootable version of Windows? Yes thats right Bart's PE builder is a nice tool to where you can make your very own bootable windows xp cd that has your custom programs and plugins on it.

Also I would like to thank Ubuntu for sending so many copies of their OS for us to distribute. If you would like a copy of Ubuntu Linux which is a free and open source collection of programs as well as a open source os you can email me at Akiratima@gmail.com or you can go to the site and download a copy.

Thats all I got for ya.

Credit report social engineering?

Ok, heres a bit of social engineering for you.

Have you ever wanted someone's credit report? Their whole credit report? Well, working the system can let you have it for free. A few things you should know firse are as follows:

A. If you get turned down for a credit report in the US, you are given all information used to base their decision.
and
B. American Credit companies are stupid.

With that in mind get a credit card application, you can get them just about anywhere. When filling out the info put in the name of the person whos info you wish to get. Now there is only two more things you must do. First you will be going out and getting a random po box that isn't designated to anyone in specific, anonymous is best. On the applications there are two places for addresses, these are for current addresses which is where you put your random po box in, and previous address, which is where you put the current address of the person whos credit you want. This will make the credit card company believe that your victim has recently moved and is applying for a credit card.
*NOTE that is all you put on it.

If you try to put birthdays or random other info it might get approved or it might not be recognised with the companies data. Since there is only a name and address on the application it will be denied and all the person's credit information will be mailed to the new "current address" or better known as your p.o. box.

This is one of the ways people get information to steal identities...now, I'm telling you this as a warning as to how easy it is to be done, not as a guide for stealing identities.

Sorry it's been so long between posts, College started back up, but keep checkin back and posting questions if you have any.

AdBlock Bypass

Many of you remember the Ad Blocker that is a plugin for Firefox. Well If you've ever seen .mov videos online of .swf flash files you've seen the ad blocker link pop up for it. Well I'm going to tell you how to get the parent directory for those videos and flash files.

Click the adblock button and there'll be a pop-up with an http address inside it. Copy the entire address then click cancel. If you click ok it will block the video or flash from your browser, and we don't want that. Next enter the address into your browser but leave off the file. If the whole address is "http://www.bob.com/swf/bobsflash.swf" then you'll want to enter "http://www.bob.com/swf" because this will take you to the directory where that flash files is saved to. This is very useful because sometimes you'll find all of the flash files the person has as well as some other documents. Upon doing this to some sites I found and entire movie database as well as a bunch of mp3s that the admin had saved to the directory. Experiment with this because not every site will let you in. Several sites have protection from this....but not all of them.

Video-zine

OK, so I just got done watching another videozine about hacking/cracking/security

This is a link to the glitch, a group of what seems to be highschool kids who give you a little info on random computer stuff.

This is a link to another videozine which seems to be slightly more informative and has better quality sound in the video.

This is a link to a group called The Broken. Much props to these guys because they are simply amazing. With the best quality video as well as the best quality sound, this group, consisting of Kevin Rose and Dan Huard as the main members, gives you the best quality information. I hope that our videozine is as good as this is, but we will be focusing on not such a direct technological point to ours. Hacking is about knowledge...getting the knowledge thats usually a little illegal, but completely worth it.

Hopefully I'll be able to put a nice video on here for you all

till then, AK

Soon to be videos?

This isn't so much an informative update as an update about our progress as a group. We don't have an amazing video camera or anything like that so I think we're gonna use Nada's camera to film some video, splice it together, see how it turns out....If it sucks that bad we'll try to get a better camera, but besides that...I don't know what to tell ya.

Apparently MS is going to either buy, or create their own tech tv with all sorts of cool little shows. Hopefully the shows will be given full ability to decide on their programming and still be allowed to talk about Linux and Mac related topics.

So this is the new year...I don't feel any different

OK, the last post was a little long so I stopped it before I posted everything on Firefox, and since I don't wanna make another immense post, I'm just gonna give you links.

Firefox put out a guide to tweeking your firefox to how you would like it.
If you've ever had a good idea for a firefox extention and wanna know how to write it, go here.

ok, see, that wasn't so bad, Happy New Year All, I hope you stay with us as we go.
