VoodooTorture

A lot of people have been wondering why Anonymous has not been caught yet. Sure, being a decentralized organization with no apparent leader makes it harder to track down and stop but still, that many individuals coordinating attacks and not getting caught is pretty impressive. I've been wondering how they are managing to stay, well, anonymous. I figured it's probably a little more sophisticated than just hopping on someone's unsecured wifi, and spoofing your ip/mac. I guessing they are probably using a VPN and/or onion routing such as Tor. Anyway, I came across this link and thought it was an interesting setup on how one would stay anonymous on the internet. What's everyone's take on this? Do you think this is what Anonymous is doing? Got a better or different way to stay undetected on the internet?

Ok, I got it working. The problem was I still had the old build on there so I reflashed the pineapple and redid the steps and all is well. I guess if all else fails...reflash.

HH Thanks so much for this. However I am having one problem that I was hoping you may know or at least point me in the right direction. I did all the config steps for my RickRoll Pineapple. Everything works except for the fact that if I go to 192.168.1.1 I am prompted for the webif password. If I enter it in, I will get the RickRoll page. I want it to not prompt for a password and to automatically bring up the page. I think I need to stop webif but I'm not sure how to do this. Anyone else having this issue? Still pretty new to linux so if the solution is "obvious" my apologies. Thanks!

Just sent an email to my friend in LA to see if he can pick me up one and mail it to me. It will be the September 18 edition. Hopefully there will be more hackable options than the Esquire E-ink delio about a year ago. http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/08/esquire...shown-on-video/

I agree with Stacked. You should teather your cell phone to the laptop so your using the cell network and not wifi via the linksys. This way finding hotspots / loosing connectivity is not a big a problem. Also you should maybe build some armor on top of all the equipment so someone has a harder time snatching your laptop if you drive it farther down the street. I'm excited to see the new build!

Great project and thanks for the detailed write up! It's amazing the stuff you can do with the Arduino.

Doing an instructable is a great idea. I will try and do one soon. For right now I will quickly try and give a little more detail on how to do this so it’s there if someone wants it. I first got the idea on how to do this by reading a book called “Making Things Talk” which is a must have book if your looking to do crazy projects like this with an Arduino. One of the projects in this book explains how to build a cat mat where you put a sensor in the mat so that it will email you when your cat is on the mat. You are then suppose to point your webcam at the mat so you can go online and see your cat from work. I took that idea and instead of a cat mat I have a toy from Target and instead of a cat I have people walking by my cube to push the button. So vola’ the Annoy-O-Darren concept is born. Parts you will need: Arduino BreadBoard (optional but helpful) 33 ohm Resistor Wire Computer w/ internet connection Websever that support php Software you will need: Arduino Software Processing Software Code you will need (see below): ****disclamer: I haven’t gotten around to clean up the code from the cat on mat project. I only changed the variables I needed to make it work for me. If you see a lot of cat on mat stuff in the code you now know why. Also, there is code that limits an email being sent to once every minute. Obviously you can remove this but I didn’t want to because I actually do want to remain friends with the guy that sits next to me. code_for_arduino.pde -resides on the arduino, it senses whether or not the button has been pushed code_for_processing.pde - resides on computer, listens to the arduino and if the button was pushed it access the send_email.php page send_email.php - when this web page is accessed it sends an email to the address of your choosing. code_for_arduino.pde /* Analog sensor reader Language: Arduino/Wiring Reads an analog input on Analog in 0, prints the result as an ASCII-formatted decimal value.

I attached two wires to these leads and removed the batteries since the power was now going to come from the Arduino instead. (If you use some other pushbutton/sound toy it is probably 3.3v but check with a mulitmeter to be sure) When the button gets pushed, the circuit is complete and current flows through the arduino and to ground however the resistor allows some current to go to pin 0 on the arduino letting it know the button was pushed. I used a 33 ohm resistor but what I found was that if I used a higher resistor the sound wouldn’t play but it would register on pin 0 but too low of a resistor and the sound would play but it wouldn’t register on pin 0 so you might have to do some trial and error to find the sweet spot so both work. Code Changes you will need to make: code_for_arduino.pde: -no change code_for_processing.pde: -might need to change the “[1]” in this line of code: “myPort = new Serial(this, Serial.list()[1], 9600);” to the correct port number your arduino is on. -under the “void makeHTTPCall” you will need to change “mydomain.com” to the domain of the webserver you are using on these two lines: client = new Client(this, "mydomain.com", 80); client.write("HOST: mydomain.com.com\n\n"); send_email.php: -change the to and from email address to your choosing to these two lines: send_mail(“phonenumber@tmomail.net”, …. $from = "Annoy-O-Darren@mydomain.com"; Steps: 1. Wire everything up 2. Install Arduino Software on your computer and export “code_for_arduino.pde” to the arduino 3. Upload send_email.php to your webserver and test by accessing the web page. (make sure you add ?sensorValue=1 to the end of the address. For example http://www.mydomain.com/send_email.php?sensorValue=1 This should send an email/text message. 4. Install Processing Software on your computer and run “code_for_processing.pde” so your computer is listening to the arduino. You will notice another box will pop up – this graphs the amount of current that is coming into pin 0 when the button is pushed- it’s there to troubleshoot. If the graph lines are all red when you push the button then you might need to increase the resistor amount slightly, once you see a green line when you push the button your good. 5. Right after you click run in the previous step, wait one minute and then press any button on the Annoy-O-Darren and it should make it’s sound and send an email/text message. (you have to wait 1 min. when you first run it because of the code. After that you can push the button once a min. from there on and it will send an email) Other thoughts: Apologies again for the code - I wish I had a cleaned up version so it’s more straight forward. One of the limitations of this project is that you have to have your computer on and the program running. Reading through the “Making Things Talk” book will teach you how to take it to the next level if you want so that all you need is a power outlet and an Ethernet cable to run. You can also learn to make it wireless if you wanted. If your first starting out with learning about the Arduino you might want to check out one of the starter kits like this one .

Darren, the guy that sits in the cube next to me, got this cubical door bell type thing called the cubicaller and attached it to the front of his cube. Everybody that walks by apparently loves to press the button (even when he is not in his cube). While amusing at first, this quickly gets annoying when you're the guy sitting next to him and you get to hear it go off all day long. Sooooooo, I decided to get him back by making the "Annoy-O-Darren". The Annoy-O-Darren is basically a keychain toy that has buttons and plays sound that I hooked up to an Arduino which is then attached to my computer. When someone presses the button on the toy, the Arduino senses that the button has been pressed and then calls a web page with php code that basically sends and email anytime it is accessed. I have it setup so that it emails my coworker a text message informing him that someone has pushed the Annoy-O-Darren. The Keychain Toy bought from Target for $3.99. The Annoy-O-Darren installed with a sticker that I printed out informing everyone that walks by what the device does. The Arduino setup - unfortunately this is the best picture I had. It's been up for a few days now and is a big hit with everyone except for Darren who is currently plotting his revenge.

I would use a Linksys WVC54GCA camera or something similar and have it save the video files to a hard drive on a network pc instead of a SD card since videos take up a lot of space. I believe the software that comes with the camera lets you record when it detects movement although I don't know how good it works. You probably could also make a battery pack for it like the one used for the fon but check the power requirements for the camera first.
