[Yubi Key - Linux]

So i've just ordered myself a Yubi Key NFC (the blue one) from amazon, has anyone used one of these with Mint Linux to add 2 factor to logging into their machine?

[Dropbox!! GRR]

I moved it from one LUKS partition to another and it has stopped complaining and now syncs...

[direct connection to car battery]

There was a Hak5 edition where they powered a Tetra from a lead acid battery... however your issue is with the engine running you will be outputting ~15v to the Tertraa which may not be good.  Use a 12v regulator.

I know a slow intensive way but is there a convenient tool such as youtube-dl?

[Goodbye Mr. Robot]

I believe it was meant to be a one off movie originally but was turned into a series.

[Bash Script]

Thanks guys,

I fixed it in the end and added a few extra bits... it takes a .16800 pmkid file and prints out the ssid of each separate pmkid.

#!/bin/bash
function hex2string () {
  I=0
  while [ $I -lt ${#1} ];
  do
    echo -en "\x"${1:$I:2}
    let "I += 2"
  done
}

read -p 'Enter PMKID filename: ' filename
while read -r pmkid; do
ssid="${pmkid:59:500}"
hex2string "$ssid"
echo
echo "$pmkid"
done < $filename

 

[Bash Script]

I have this bash script which functions but I am confused as my output appears as below with the stdout directly BEFORE my next bash prompt.  What formatting do I need to change to fix this?

#!/bin/bash
function hex2string () {
  I=0
  while [ $I -lt ${#1} ];
  do
    echo -en "\x"${1:$I:2}
    let "I += 2"
  done
}
read -p 'Hexstring: ' varname
hex2string "$varname"

me@unknown ~ $ ./hex2ascii 
Hexstring: 4e4554474541523437

...confirm the MAC for the blackbox, deauth it and see what happens. ?

I think people definitely need really good passwords on Apple IDs...

[Hashcat hash modes]

Ok so I found my own answer, it is a new method to crack a PSK and you only have to capture a packet directly from the router without any other real users being needed!

[Hashcat hash modes]

I just grabbed the latest development build of hashcat and took a look at the available hash modes in the help.  The latest release 4.1.0 only has the modes below for WPA which I understand

2500 | WPA/WPA2                                         | Network Protocols  < this is used to try a wordlist against a capture
2501 | WPA/WPA2 PMK                                     | Network Protocols  <  this is used to try a series of pre-computed hashes against a capture

Now the latest development version has the following:

Can anyone explain to me what the difference between the 4 modes below are?

2500 | WPA-EAPOL-PBKDF2                                 | Network Protocols
2501 | WPA-EAPOL-PMK                                    | Network Protocols
16800 | WPA-PMKID-PBKDF2                                 | Network Protocols
16801 | WPA-PMKID-PMK                                    | Network Protocols

[Kali 2018.1 bleeding edge - MDK3 not working]

I'm using Kali 2018.1 and i've added the bleeding edge repository (not sure if its relevant) when I try and use MDK3 to deauth a MAC address it just hangs at "will refresh black list after 3 seconds" and doesn't inject and packets.

I found a copy of MDK4 and when compiled this does work... has anyone else experienced this issue?

[MacOS on Virtualbox]

As the title suggests i'm trying to run MacOS Sierra on Virtualbox... i've followed tips from others on the settings needed but when I try and boot the .iso to install the OS I get the following errors.  For info i'm running Virtualbox on Mint Linux.

Whats your take on free wifi hotspots. They been going up alot around here. An horror stories. Good stories? Sometime i find myself going to the place that offers free wifi over the place that doesnt.

They are excellent places to have fun with your WiFi Pineapples!  Thats my take on it ?

[Password Safe - SecureSafe]

Is it safe to use an online password store such as SecureSafe ( https://www.securesafe.com/en/ )

I was planning to use it's inbuilt random password generator to create new creds for all my accounts for security.  My only concern is what if this site service closes and I lose access to my passwords?

The old-school in me thinks a txt file of plain text passwords inside a LUKS encrypted partition might be more future proof....but less convenient than an iPhone app for SecureSafe.

Thoughts?

[Questions about Wpa2 hacking with Social Eng/]

Use MDK3 to send beacon requests out with the MAC address of the target AP and a random SSID to hide it behind...  it will depend on transmission power of your attack platform compared to the target AP though.

Use a laptop (with battery) and then wait until there is a power cut.... your victims should connect once their router has gone off ?

[Who to trust on the Internet ?]

As others have said, get yourself a VPN account... i'm not trying to advertise one provider above the others but you can get NordVPN for around $8 US per month and they have a choice of hundreds of servers around the world to find a fast one that works for you.  You can also make sure your ISP or other servers around the world are not geo-blocking you.

Streaming is ok but but if there is a loss of internet access or indeed the streaming service stops you can still enjoy your music with a large capacity of local stroage.
