  1. I checked out obsoleet and was totally impressed. Yeah it's not HD, but it doesn't matter when the content is interesting. I will definitely be keeping up with this one. Props to famicoman for his efforts and moonlit for the tip.

    Exactly.

    The 4th episode was just released, and it's already showing vast improvements.

    The tech is old school, which is really cool. A lot of background information is given about the different devices/things shown/used, which make it just that much better and informative.

    I've always kind of felt that the people that grew up with the phone phreaking and stuff were somewhat lucky.

    Getting into computers when I did was like... Jumping into Algebra without without any prior math classes.

    I feel like I missed a bunch... Obsoleet is helping to fill in those gaps.

    Viewer submitted segments have already been shown, and I'm sure there will be more to come.

    I'd recommend it :)

  2. I have done all the research i can to figure out what ive done wrong. I have two flash drive the one I upgraded to grub2 the second was just a straight shot to grub2 and I created a grub.cfg file and placed some entrees in it. it boots up to the grub screen showing the 2 listings I put in which was an iso of windows xp pro and kon boot. neither work at the moment but I did notice something about certain commands like mem that are not installed when grub is. even tho i have tried that but still nothing is booting up.

    I don't think anybody ever got either of those working. The problem with XP is USB driver initialization or something like that, and the problem with Kon-Boot is that nobody has figured out how to map it correctly, I think.

  3. Truthfully, my advice to you is to not take college courses or buy books. Everything they can teach you and so much more is freely and legitimately available all over the internet.

    Don't just google "hacking," "how to hack," etc... think of something you might like to do/attempt, and google THAT specifically.

    Have questions? Questions are great, and, in my opinion, a core part of what "defines" a hacker.

    As long as you attempt your own research and ask the queation(s) the right way, 99% of people will gladly help you.

    I already like you, due to the way your formulated your first question/post, so go ahead and PM me if you'd like and I will help you to the best of my ability.

  4. Piratebay was compromised a bit ago, so I'm guessing maybe it sparked other people to attempt exploit their servers?

    I went to the homepage liiike the day after that compromise (before knowing it was previously cracked), got some "search overload" errors or something like that a few times, then... I'm not sure if I'm remembering this correctly, but I THINK I got that fake AV alert malware crap. Killed it real quick though and ran some scans and everything was back to normal.

    I'm just gonna avoid TPB for a little while.

  5. The only problem with OPHcrack is that it has limitations on how many characters it can crack. So if your password is over 15 characters it will be useless.

    Not entirely true.

    The Ophcrack XP tables can't crack anything more than 14 characters, but this is only because of the way Windows XP implements its password hashing procedure.

    Say your password is "password1234"

    What happens (as far as I know) is:

    "password1234" is split and becomes "passwor" and "d1234"

    "passwor" is hashed and stored/compared and "d1234" is separately hashed and stored/compared

    Notice how "passwor" is 7 digits. That is how LM hashed passwords are stored in XP.

    So, if you had a password of 15+, the password cannot be split into 7-chars and 7-chars and is consequently not hashed using LM, but is instead hashed using NTLM.

    Therefore, it is still possible to crack, you just need the right rainbow tables, but 15+ digits... in rainbow tables... is a whole hell of a lot of space.

    I just wanted to clear that up a little and kind of explain what was actually going on.

  6. I haven't seen this posted anywhere, so I figured I'd share what I have. It doesn't use Psychosis' PsyDuck code because I want to get a feel for the stuff before I go and start using pre-coded functions and stuff (so I have somewhat of an understanding of the underlying stuff).

    Anyways, this code will get you a command prompt as Administrator through the Start -> search bar

    void AdminCMD(void);
    void OpenStartMenu(void);
    void UACRunAsAdmin(void);
    
    void AdminCMD(void){
      OpenStartMenu();
      /*Type "cmd.exe" in search bar.*/
      usb_keyboard_press(KEY_C, 0);
      usb_keyboard_press(KEY_M, 0);
      usb_keyboard_press(KEY_D, 0);
      usb_keyboard_press(KEY_PERIOD, 0);
      usb_keyboard_press(KEY_E, 0);
      usb_keyboard_press(KEY_X, 0);
      usb_keyboard_press(KEY_E, 0);
      UACRunAsAdmin();
    }
    
    
    /*Run highlighted program as Administrator
    *by invoking and accepting the UAC prompt.*/
    void UACRunAsAdmin(void){
      /*Press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER for UAC prompt*/
      _delay_ms(50);
      keyboard_modifier_keys = KEY_CTRL | KEY_SHIFT;
      keyboard_keys[0] = KEY_ENTER;
      usb_keyboard_send();
      _delay_ms(50);
      keyboard_modifier_keys = 0;
      keyboard_keys[0] = 0;
      usb_keyboard_send();
      _delay_ms(800); /*Time for UAC to appear*/
      /*Accept UAC prompt*/
      usb_keyboard_press(KEY_LEFT, 0);
      _delay_ms(50);
      usb_keyboard_press(KEY_ENTER, 0);
      _delay_ms(50);
    }
    
    /*Open Start Menu using CTRL+ESC instead
    *of the Windows logo (KEY_GUI) because
    *that key can be completely disable, while
    *CTRL+ESC still works.*/
    void OpenStartMenu(void){
      keyboard_modifier_keys = KEY_CTRL;
      keyboard_keys[0] = KEY_ESC;
      usb_keyboard_send();
      _delay_ms(50);
      keyboard_modifier_keys = 0;
      keyboard_keys[0] = 0;
      usb_keyboard_send();
      _delay_ms(50);
    }

  7. When the USB Multi-pass project first kicked off, there were a whooooole bunch of new people registering and posting, but it's kind of died down along with the hype. The thing is, more people doesn't always mean a better forum... It's the content and knowledge that counts. I'd rather have it the way it is than have a bunch of people asking how to turn on their routers or configure their email.

    Also, I doubt a "market place" would ever really take off.

  8. I don't use one. A DS I mean, but I would be interested to see if it actually makes it hard to obtain. I mean, weed is illegal, if you want it it's not hard to get.

    lol anybody got modchips on deck?

  9. Moonlit, regardless of your modesty you have done a great job at I am sure to the expense of extended periods of your own time and we are all very thankful *and VaKo and Sparda as well*.

    Fixed.

  10. Asking what's the use of ubuntu is almost the same as asking what's the use of PC. PC is windows and Ubuntu is Linux, does the same thing as PC except.. way better from security to programming.

    PC = Personal Computer

    Windows = Microsoft

    Ubuntu = GNU/Linux

    Calling a computer a "PC" has nothing to do with it's OS. It simply means it's a computer for personal use, hence the term Personal Computer.

    There are infinite uses for Ubuntu. It's rare that one reason is used in explaining the use of it over another OS.

  11. That practice cipher challenge is pretty easy (and amusing), but I dunno what the actual real challenges are like. Heard about it on BBC Breakfast, but I don't really wanna sign up when I have no idea what I'll be up against. Not that I have any particular desire to work in security, I'm just curious about how far I could get really. Still, could be good if you're into that sort of thing, seems like there's levels for all different people, so good luck and have fun.

    I'm not asking for the deciphered text, although it's been posted elsewhere. but I was wondering if you could explain your thought process as to how you decoded the message (assuming you did)? What first came to mind and why? etc.

  12. Thank you moonlit for your words of wisdom as an admin. I believe that I am not alone when I say I hope to see them in the future.

    ^^that

    Seriously though, I've looked up to you since I've been around. Thank you.

  13. Well I couldn't figure out how to use PLoP (each time I mounted the image, it just openned me a new folder i couldn't use). But I tried other methods, especially using Syslinux, but I had the same problem again and again

    Burn PLoP to a disc, boot from the disk with your flash drive plugged in, then choose the correct option to boot from USB.

    You might also want to try updating your BIOS if possible.
