Stealth Surveillance Vehicle
Rich Harley from Suspicion Industries sent in some pictures of a vehicle that they just completed. This is what I call a office away from home! I know where to go if I ever start a career as a super secret spy! Instead of a limo could I rent this van for an evening?
“Here is a rather large home project we have completed – a surveillance
vehicle or mobile office. The project took around 9 months to finish
and we have pictures and build information to document progress. The
van has:
* onboard power system/batteries (10 hour runtime), plug sockets etc
* lighting
* onboard computers x 2 + TFT wall mounted monitors
* wireless router
* desk + chair setup
* furnished walls and floor
* climate control
We’ve also added a Pan-Tilt-Zoom Camera connected to the computers
for surveillance or recording use. Our aim is to hire the van to
individuals/small business, or perhaps to sell the vehicle outright.”




Steal Credit Card Numbers Wireless using RFID
While i’m on the topic of RFID hacking here is a nice video about stealing CC info with RFID.

Report: US air-traffic control systems hacked
We all know no system is safe, but I find it hilarious that all this happened in Alaska and when they were using Windows.
Pretty cool hack to get into the ATC and see what’s going on. Maybe they can disguise my flight to Colombia when I bring over a plane load of coke. *shrugs*
Here’s the link, pretty funny and short read: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9595_22-300164.html
Master-Keyed Lock Vulnerability
An AT&T Labs researcher has discovered that most master-key lock systems are vulnerable. NY Times (reg. req’d) reports that the technique is known, but not widely known. For instance, it does not appear in the ubiquitous document formerly known as the MIT Guide to Lockpicking. The AT&T Labs-Research paper is troubling some security experts, one of whom said that the “technique could open doors worldwide for criminals and terrorists.” Because publishing the paper “could lead to an increase in thefts and other crimes, it presented an ethical quandary” for the researcher (Matt Blaze) and AT&T Labs-Research.
Neat ideas, just not many people know I guess.
URL Shortner Service
Another cool toy I’ve thrown up today is a tinyurl service.
Just throw in a long url to turn it into a shorter one.

Alternate Surveillance Methods
One thing that has been on my mind lately is some crazy ideas for finding information and the lengths that people go to.
Even in the movies, these ideas are never really that far fetched as they could be. For example, UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) I’ve never seen in the movies, yet there is the technology in the public that make these things real. Imagine having a UAV flying a 5 mile radius over the place you’re infiltrating, giving you a heads up on any problems that you may encounter?
For more information on amateur UAVs, one great site to look at is http://diydrones.com
Anyway, what are some ideas you’ve seen or have had?
