Thanks I've grabbed some in the past: http://g0tmi1k.blogspot.com/2011/06/dictionaries-wordlists.html (he really put some work into this one). Like 13GB and 38GB lists, using them for WPA and the 13GB takes ~5 hours to run though. As a side project I thought it would be fun to pull together the paintext passwords from a lot of these website hacks and do some manual and statistical analysis. I haven't really committed to the idea, still just kicking it around. Didn't want to get into it only to realize I was the 10th person to do it. If I decide to I'll be sure to post my progress.

Has anyone seen a wordlist using all the recent DB hacked passwords? So for instance has someone taken all the hashes from linked in, brute forced them then used those plaintext passwords to create a wordlist? It would be cool to have a compilation of all these recent password DB hacks. Cheers, Systemd0wn

Thought it would be a good idea to have a community calendar that features hacker conventions large and small.

Thanks for the information. The IOS & TFTP discussion is a bit off topic but the bottom link did help. I'll post more of my findings but it looks like the best idea would be for me to setup my own Cisco TFTP server (free) and mirror their files. I can then give this TFTP server to the VoIP phones via DHCP and set it as the primary TFTP server. Thanks for your response. systemd0wn

I have several Cisco 7961 VoIP phones connecting to a Cisco Call Manager several hops away (Long Local). The telephones are on their own voice VLAN and DHCP gives out IPs, default gateway, and two TFTP servers. When the phones first come online they get their settings from the DHCP server (router), reboot and start to download the latest firmware files. This takes aprox. two hours. It's a high latency sat network so it's to be expected somewhat. Is there anyway i can make a local TFTP server with those files so that i don't have to download them across this link? I'm not incredibly savvy with call manager or voip or what role the TFTP server plays in it all. Just looking for some ideas. -systemd0wn

Real Time Satellite Tracking: http://www.n2yo.com They probably have every satellite in the sky listed on this site. Not only that but it's location, and other information such as what it was designed to do, what band it operates on, whether it is geostationary, just about everything you would need to know about a satellite. :) Also there is: http://www.amsat.org The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, allows for licensed amateur radio operators (HAMs) to participate in space research and communications. So there ya go, get your HAM license and you can legally connect up to these.

THIS IS OFF TOPIC, Why is it that people feel the urge to become another human beings moral compass? I have never fully understood that. I do understand the need to punish those who deviate from the law. I do understand that you must pass on the difference of right and wrong to children. I do not understand why one would explain to another adult. It is very rarely out of ignorance that one breaks the law but rather because he or she is willing to accept the consequences. They have mitigated their risk as much as they can and from there decide if it is worth it or not. To say anything other than the most basic "just so you know, that's illegal" is down right condescending and unnecessary. Anyway, i think the point has been missed. No active connection is needed to sit and listen to what the satellites are sending you. They just send everything they have down to the earth. If you are within that footprint then Woohoo! You get to see it. That's all I'm talking about, the other was just a reference to what has been in the news.

there is also this: http://tim.cexx.org/?p=646

I'm glad you posted that, it is one of the articles that really got me thinking. Well, the article they are quoting anyway. So speaking of that if anyone has some time to do some research on the specific hardware they are using that would be awesome. I would love to setup a kit with the minimum $$ (isn't that everyones goal?) With work the way it is I just don't have time to do any research. When I do i'll be sure to post my results. -systemd0wn

Ya, i've used VSAT and as I speak i'm sitting next to a couple BGANs. The only way you have any protection from sniffing and man in the middle attacks is if you utilize some type of encryption. It could be a tunnel created on your cisco router or some type of hardware based encryption device. Otherwise why wouldn't you be able to scan through freqs and see what people are transmitting? That's just on the passive side. Who knows what you could accomplish if you were transmitting. Satcomm always has me thinking because you can basically play around for short periods of time with impunity. You're using your BGAN for two way TV? Can you elaborate?

Thats cool. I'm not really talking about Free-To-Air (FTA). For instance i work with a Via-Sat gear like the linkway modem. Allows for full mesh IP networks over satellite. Anyway, I'm not real spun up on all the hardware besides basic configurations and I would like to find a less pricey alternative to all the commercial shit i work with. That way i can play around with doing some of the same things on my own.

I currently do some work with satcom and wanted to know if anyone was into satellite hacking. I read some articles about the stuff going on in Brazil when it came out and it got me thinking on it some more. I'm not specifically talking about decrypting HBO or anything. I'm talking more the data side of the house. -systemd0wn

OMG. I just typed out a huge reply and suddenly the "fast reply" window just... vanished. WTF... Aight. You get the short answer this time, at no fault of your own. YES if you are using it to surf the internet and watch the BME Pain Olympics. -This will work because VMWare and the virtualized OS (backtrack 4 in your case) don't even know it's on a wireless network. NO if you expect to use BT4 applications such as Kismet. - Because you are using this device as a 'client bridge' - Because your computer doesn't have direct access to send wifi packets Even if you replaced this device with a BT4 compatible wifi card it would still be .... NO. - Because you are using VMWare which won't allow the guest os (BT4 in your case) direct access to the hardware. Good luck, have fun.

First off your hardware picks. They will work just great with one another and if you look at the processor (and click specifications, just above the reviews) you will see that it says "64bit support: YES". Well done, no issues. Aight, so you need to do a little more research on 64 bit operating systems. I found some that i think will do you some good. Microsofts FAQ, It's incredibly short and answers a few important questions. (like software and driver compatibility) http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows...asked-questions A quick article on TechSpot about why 64 bit and not 32 bit. OR why 32 bit may not be a good option for a select few. http://www.techspot.com/guides/177-windows...ll-32bit-64bit/ After reading those if they don't answer your questions, google it up and shoot us some more specific questions. Ok, one last thing. Lets say you read up and your like, "sweet 64 bit all the way!" One last thing you will want to check is your mother board manufacturers website for drivers (and any other hardware you are adding). Whether these be 64 bit Vista or 7 and is everything going to go smooth. It's good to do the extra leg work now and plan things than to put all the hardware together, get all crazy stoked and find out the video card you bought doesn't play well with Windows 7 because they haven't released a compatible driver yet. Then you spend the next 6 months of your life checking the NVIDIA or ATI website hoping and praying that they release a good driver BUT since they have already come out with 3 new video cards in the past 6 months they dropped support for your card and your F'ed in the A. good luck. have fun.

So you're saying that it "wouldn't" accept either one? Not trying to be a dick just confused by what you wrote. Assuming that is the case, have you tried using a USB thumb drive? Is your laptop new enough to boot off USB?

AIght, so before you could say you were working like this: [WOWPC] ----> [Firewall] ---> [PubInternet] ---> [blizzard] Then the admin went and blocked your WoW specific ports and you got a proxy to run all your traffic through (on a different port), like this: [WOWPC] ----> [Firewall] ---> [PubInternet] ---> [ProxyService] ---> [PublicInternet] ---> [blizzard] You don't like having to pay to much for the proxy not to mention it's adding latency to your game. Now the only reason I have explained all this is because you brought up two options. 1. Setup a proxy on the same network, or 2. Be uber leet and break into the firewall, setup your own rules and play WoW until someone has to change your bed pan. Your Option 1: [WOWPC] ----> [YourProxy] ---> [Firewall] ---> [PubInternet] ---> [blizzard] This won't work because your proxy will still be on your side of the firewall. Option 1 is a no go. Your Option 2: ehhhhh.. Prolly not going to happen. Not that I have some moral dilemma stopping me from imparting knowledge it's just that you're behind the power curve. Take no offence to this, you could do some reading, take a course or two and be up to it in no time but that isn't a real solution to THIS problem is it? Unless your network admin is your mom and she's running a linksys with the default password let us think of a couple more options. VaKos Option: Get a 3G dongle from someone like AT&T or some other sole less corporate entity. Yup, if it's cheaper than your proxy this sounds like a sweet option. The only draw back I can foresee is that the latency (while most likely better than your proxy service) is still going to be a little worse than your original unblocked network connection. You may get good bandwidth from 3G but there will always be a little more latency associated with it. Another Option, Setup your own proxy: Just like the proxy diagram from before only instead of paying for the service you create one from home. If you have a good network connection at home that is great, if not... ehhh... not so much. To much latency, poor bandwidth, blah blah. BUT, if you get in a pinch, just can't afford your proxy service and find yourself jones'n for WoW it's always an option. [WOWPC] ----> [Firewall] ---> [PubInternet] ---> [HomeProxy] ---> [PublicInternet] ---> [blizzard] Some Questions to you: -How much is your proxy service? -Where is it located in the world? -What is your bandwidth limit? -What kind of latency are you getting from it?

I'm not huge on bumping posts, but... Seriously? No one is doing a little iPhone dev without a mac?

Ya, I would do it the same way digip is saying. So for instance you would add a new line, something like this (below are two different options. Try both, just not at the same time): firefox -height 600 -width 800 ./directory_to_firefox/firefox -height 600 -width 800 I didn't try it myself but it should work fine. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments Don't forget to change the height and width to your screen dimensions.

The netstumbler community is incredibly intelligent and they have a lot of information on their forum. http://www.netstumbler.org Just be sure to do some searching before you blurt out any questions you may have. I think every community appreciates a more specific question. I'm not trying to tell you what to do I was just trying to make sure your post on netstumber didn't turn into a flame war. That can be dreadfully annoying when you really want to learn. Also this isn't to take away from Hak5, it's just that netstumbler is a community solely dedicated to 802.11

I have been looking for a definitive guide to compiling C and C++ applications for the iPhone. I have found information on toolchains etc. but I feel like I'm missing some key points that will give me the whole picture. One of my biggest issues is weeding out old information. Anyway, if anyone has some good links It would be greatly appreciated. I have some app ideas that I think the hacker community would find interesting.

lopez, you could at least say you got that from the official tomato website: http://www.polarcloud.com/img/ssqosc108.png

First check if your router supports Quality of Service (QoS). If it does look at the settings. You should see options based on physical port and most likely MAC. Your best bet is to base it on MAC. Note that if a user uses both wifi and occasionally uses Ethernet you will have to configure the settings for this as well. Try DD-WRT, or tomato http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato Good luck!

"fixvesa" worked. I still have to run that every time backtrack boots but it is a hell of a lot easier than the lines of code i was directly adding to xorg.conf. Thanks for the help!

I'll give that a try. Thanks for the tip. Persistence IS working though... I can create new files, run kismet and keep all the logs between reboots, etc... hrm.
