  1. Yes: http://hak5.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=10230 It was a while ago I posted that, so I should add that there is an iPhone emulator, you'll need a machine capable of running OSX (x86, unless you feel like messing about) and the iPhone SDK. Windows Mobile 6.5 images are now available, and there are likely newer Blackberry models available now too. Multiple Android images are also out there, from the original 1.0 prerelease up to the latest 1.5. You can also use QEMU to run Maemo for Nokia phones but I haven't yet tried that. If you grab a copy of the Palm WebOS SDK, it contains a VirtualBox image of WebOS. WebOS 1.0, Android 1.5, Blackberry 4.7, Windows Mobile 6.5 PalmOS 4, PalmOS 5.4.9, WebOS 1.0 Various BlackberryOS in chronological order Windows Mobile 5, Windows Mobile 6.1, Windows Mobile 6.5 Android 1.0, Android 1.1, Android 1.5
  2. Depends on the network. Some networks obfuscate or "cloak" your IP with a hostmask or vanity host and others just display your IP. Some networks will provide a vhost upon request, like Freenode, you just have to ask a staff member to provide you with one. Alternatively, if you're particularly paranoid and the network allows it, you can proxy/connect through a shell, which provides the network the IP of your shell instead of you home machine.
  3. That's exactly what my reponse was about. Banning now...
  4. It's cheap, cheerful, and not all that secure, but putting your bootloader on an SD card or USB stick would work just as well for casual or unprepared users. The upside is that it works with pretty much any OS. The downside is that if I have a USB stick with GRUB on it, and a boot.conf with every likely boot choice, I have your system.
  5. Doesn't make sense to me either, but you should probably know that there's no such thing as Hackers 2, it's a standalone movie which has no connection whatsoever to the original Hackers movie, someone just mislabelled it on a filesharing service and the whole world seemed to believe it.
  6. Sure, as long as you're made of meat.
  7. http://www.linuxweblog.com/blogs/sandip/20...-drive-using-dd dd, the less disk-hungry way.
  8. Say, Andrew, what's two plus two?
  9. Linux is not and never was based wholly or partially upon Unix or variants of it. It was, however, developed as a hobbyist alternative to the then very expensive commercial Unix variants. OSX contains some amount of FreeBSD code which is, as far as I'm aware, based partially upon AT&T Unix. Then again, OSX isn't really MacOS at all, it's NeXTSTEP with a side of fairy dust. Perhaps I'm wrong, I need to read up a little more on the topic, but to the best of my knowledge the BSD code is in Darwin which OSX is based upon, and which is itself based on XNU (a combination of Mach, FreeBSD and some extra crap Apple .threw in for a laugh). So when you look at it that way, how much of OSX really is Unix?
  10. As VaKo said, this can already be done. VirtualXP in Windows 7 can do this already, and if you don't mind a little less integration you can do the same in almost every other major virtualisation application using coherence modes. This one's a little more tricky, think about it this way: I have a list of random dates with numbers next to them and I also have a bunch of photos with those numbers on. I have to rearrange the photos according to date using the numbers. Say, for the sake of argument, I have a table with as many squares on it as I have piece of paper with numbers/dates and photos combined in which to rearrange my data. Now, if you suddenly decide you need to use some of my table for another task and you have to remove some of my squares then I no longer have a certain portion of those dates and photos to work with because you've put a tray on top of them to make tea. I'm going to crash (or get stuck) because I can't find the photos and dates I'm looking for any more. In short, if you dynamically reduce the amount of RAM in a machine (real or virtual), you have to ensure that nothing is using it at that time otherwise the system will likely crash hard. This is already possible with VMWare, and I'm sure other VM applications. Some hardware can be used directly already, I believe Xen can allow near enough direct access to PCI devices. I don't know much about it though. I'm sure I read that VMWare and nVidia have both worked on graphics virtualisation too but again, not something I know a lot about. So really, I don't think we're far off at all, virtualisation is already very good and I think it will only get better.
  11. Regardless of connection speeds, Bluray is already outclassed as far as I'm concerned, HDDs and even flash-based media is overtaking it. Sure, it's more expensive for flash media at the moment but it's ever decreasing in cost and readers (for media types which require them) are dirt cheap. With that in mind, I'm going to find it hard to continue looking at Bluray as a future backup medium, it's just too small compared to the kinds of data we store these days. For manufactured media, perhaps it'll be more useful due to the cost of flash media, but I don't think I've bought anything on physical media for months, years even, you can download music, TV shows movies, games, applications, even operating systems now with relative ease, so why would I bother going to the store for them?
  12. If I had to guess, I'd say it's a digital camera part and will not accept composite. Chances are, you'll need a controller designed for this particular LCD (or series of LCDs) which provides the appropriate digital signals to make it work. Edit: Could be the same type of LCD used in the Epson PhotoPC 3xxx series of camera. Edit2: Fits the rear profile of those cameras, so probably is the LCD used in them: Edit3: Connectors seem to be 23(?) pin ribbon style for data input, 2 pin backlight power. Edit4: Those cameras were out in 2000, so the controller would likely be pre-2000, which should narrow down the search somewhat. Whether it has a controller or requires an external one I don't know. Edit5: If these cameras (or LCDs) work via an Epson controller with a built in camera controller, I can't find it. The controllers with camera integration seem to stop at 2MP, the 3xxx series were 3MP. It seems to either use a controller without direct camera support or a non-Epson controller. That said, since the LCD and camera were made by Epson and they also produce controllers, I'd expect the controller to also be an Epson part.
  13. FYI, if you get hold of the Pre SDK it has a VirtualBox HD image with WebOS on it, so if you don't have a Pre or have one but don't want to chance bricking it, that's a nice alternative.
  14. Also, once you've marked the partition active, unless you mess with it, you shouldn't need to do it again on that same memory stick/card, so you can just replace the files in future.
  15. If you can wait more than a day or two for whatever you're buying, online shopping is generally appreciably cheaper than brick and mortar stores. Sure, you have to wait for shipping, but when it means you can squeeze another part or higher model out of your budget, it's definitely worth it.
  16. dealextreme's great for price, variety, random crap and free shipping but man, it's not for people who hate waiting for stuff to ship.
  17. There have been rumours lately about such a thing, but it's more likely (if you believe said rumours) that it'll be like a giant iPod Touch, a tablet form rather than a laptop. That said, you can install OSX on a generic netbook just fine with a little work and attention.
  18. http://hak5.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=11942 might be of some interest.
  19. I imagine there's probably a filter kicking in somewhere. Not that it really matters, it's all over the net anyway, no sense trying to hide it.

  21. Can't do a thing if we can't see 'em, so what he said ^.
  22. "Analog.5 is dead, officially, for 2 years. If you want to start a Hak5 ezine project, all the power to you. Be the media." --Famicoman, about 1 minute ago. Locked on request.
  23. The easy option would be a 1.2GHz or 2.4GHz wireless camera, they're pretty cheap on sites like DealExtreme and they're small enough to stick in a bear's eye or something. An SD card probably isn't going to get you the recording time you'd like, so you could just hook up the receiver to a DVR or small machine somewhere with a capture card in it. One issue would be security, since most of those cameras can be viewed using another receiver easily, there's no encryption or scrambling. Apps like K!TV can do circular recording* with any codec you feel like, and can work with pretty much any capture card, so if you have a box (even a laptop with a USB capture device) running XP you can just make it headless and have it share the recorded video via a network share. You could even modify an old PDA or phone to send the video to a service like Qik so you can view it live, or if you have a small machine built into a toybox, set top box case or a book then you could wire the stuffed toy's eye (a webcam, or similar) directly to the box below it. If you wanted to get technical, you could probably stream it via bluetooth, though I imagine you'd have to write your own app for that, I've never seen an app to do that personally, they may exist though so take a look around. * Circular recording is where it will always have the last x minutes/hours of the recording, like a looped tape. For example, you could tell it to record for 8 hours, and it will always have the last 8 hours of the recording.
  24. Nah, no problem, my 15" LCD's been co-existing with my 19" CRT for years now (and that CRT's a beast), I don't think you'll have any issues.
  25. According to various articles, there was an admission made that this was not the work of the anti-sec group, it was just someone posting under their name.
