  1. This kind of reminds me of some social engineering done once by a security company; We all know that there are flaws existing in the human beings - that's what SE is all about. A company asked a security company to test the employees. This involved following them around during the week, spotting their habits and so on. After doing this for a while, they were actually able to pinpoint the location of specific people... They knew just where to *hack* them. Imagine finding a usb thumbdrive (these were just the cheap ones that are literally getting thrown at you sometimes) on the street. Many people pick these up thinking "Oh cheerio! this is my lucky day!" - The truth: it contained a newly developed trojan that wasn't going to get picked up by Norton Soon the employees would be plugging this goody into computers at home or at work, in most cases it was the closest one. ----------- I don't think judges would look kindly at the way you are carrying around trojan's all the time, better go with something else if you ask me. - Like the people who have managed to trace stolen computers, because they had installed SETI and other @home projects that would start sending data along with the IP addresses. Good luck with your findings
  2. Python is made of win :o I would love to hear more about your home project as soon as you are finished, may I pm you for help during our school project? (Code examples are welcome) We are located in Denmark and the standard voltage (in practice) here varies between 220v and 240v. I am currently researching several guides on the interwebs, one favorite of mine: Set-up a Ubuntu webcam security system - It uses the previously open source app called motion. I am an amateur electrician, so things get confusing when discussing all of the different electronic components... which basic pieces of hardware are needed if we as an example want to switch the lighting of our house from a web page (accessible from cell phones) and what if we want to just dim the lights? (mood lightning) Thx for the effort :)
  3. wow puredistortion looks like you have been doing a lot of hacking lately, thx a bunch. Just not sure what all of these things can be used for? What are you exactly planning on doing with the different parts and are you following tutorials? I have been looking into some open source software called Motion - Does anyone have experience with this? I am also looking for an alternative to the Light script originally used, since it's windows specific. Any help there? (The more cross-platform the better) :) Thank you for your quick replies, I hope some of you more advanced hackers can help us three young hacklings.
  4. Hiho, for a school project, me and a couple of guys are trying make sort of a "digital home" where things are controllable in a more hightech/nerdy fashion. I quickly remembered my beloved shows pilot episode when we chose the subject. . . now I need a little help. The x10 Cellphone hack involves that you can control the household lighting from any computer/mobile/pda with internet access. We have the needed PHP code along with the proficiency to make it all work, but the "Firecracker" and the x10 Lamp Module have become increasingly expensive and we only have a limited amount of cash :? Does anybody know of any other electronic products that we can use or perhaps other ways to acheive the effect of an "intelligent home". We are also interested in monitoring heat/controlling the temperatures of radiators and setting up a webcam like Darren and Wess did in the second episode of season one. Ideas are more than welcome, we have a total of just under 100 USD to use on the project Thx for all your responses
