Everyone knows about the HP Laserjet printers. No doubt we’ve all used them at one point in our life. My high school had all HP Laserjets and boy, we had fun with them. Evers since Irongeek posted his research on these printers, they’ve been a prime target. We’re proud to announce a new tool. This one will scan ranges for these printers and then attempt to print the hell out of them haha. You can download it here: http://planaheist.com/usertools/massprint.tar  

[Miguel A. Vallejo] wanted a portable spectrum analyzer for the 2.4GHz ISM band. No problem, there’s modules for that are easy to interface with a microcontroller and LCD screen. But carrying around a black project box doesn’t exactly scream ‘cool’ so he fit his spectrum analyzer inside of a cell phone. This made a lot of things easier for him; he already had a few old phones, he was able to use both the original battery and the original LCD screen, and a lot of the mounting work is already done for you. The only challenge was to fit his custom circuitry inside. By hacking off part of the CYWM6935 module and cutting some protoboard in the same shape as the original PCB he managed to get everything into this... 

This is a simple bash script that uses nikto, nmap, nslookup, the Harvester, subdomainer and metagoofil for penetration testing and enumeration. This code is very straight-forward and you can do whatever you wish with it, but for god’s sake read the readme file. This is a rough first run so some things might break and the report files are all over the damn place and you might need to edit some stuff. http://sourceforge.net/projects/reecon/ Suggestions, ideas, bugs?  

Foil, not just for hats anymore! Tinfoil is apparently not just good for keeping the lizard people from reading your thoughts from afar, with a little wit and the silver stuff you can also wreak havoc on those high security and dimple locks that are just a little too hard to pick sometimes.

IDG News Service – U.S. federal authorities arrested a 26-year-old man on Thursday for allegedly selling modified cable modems that enabled free Internet access, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Matthew Delorey of New Bedford, Mass., is charged with one count of conspiracy and one count of wire fraud. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison for each charge, and a $250,000 fine. Delorey allegedly ran a now-defunct Web site called Massmodz.com, where hacked modems were sold. The modems had been modified in order to spoof the device’s MAC (Media Access Control) address. It is possible then to either obtain free Internet access or make it appear that a different modem is obtaining access. Authorities... 

A Fight Identity Theft visitor forwarded this email to us today and it was so creative I just had to post it here. The email supposedly comes from Robert Mueller - the current head of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigations. Not only was it sent by the FBI, the scammers try to get you to believe it's been vetted by the Anti-Terrorist and International Fraud Division. Unbelievable. Why Do They Send These Emails? What they're really after is the fee they want you to pay in order to collect your $850,000 - that's why they call this an "advanced-fee fraud." The fee is sent by money order which makes it very difficult to trace and impossible to recover. Here's the money paragraph: This letter will serve...

This was brought to my attention in our IRC channel and it’s scary as hell. We’re not talking about boats, but rather packages. This article has all the details, but basically it comes down to someone sending in a wifi and wan enabled device to hack into corporate networks (think iphone).

The spirit of giving has hit Google. They are generously providing free Wi-Fi at 47 airports from November 10, 2009 to January 15, 2010. That's great, but there are a few precautions you should take to keep yourself safe. Google's Free Wi-Fi Using the free service is simple. You simply select the free Wi-Fi and accept the terms of service and there's no need to give any form of payment. However, Google wants you to catch the giving spirit and give a donation to any of the three non-profit organizations they've partnered with. But, donate once you're using a secure Internet connection at home - not on the Wi-Fi network. In addition to providing free Wi-Fi, Google's having a photo contest. You could win a prize just... 

Microsoft launched an update Tuesday to patch about fifteen holes in Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server and Office. While most of the patches are related to various Word and Excel, or Windows Server issues, a critical vulnerability was found within the Windows OS kernel - a fairly rare occurrence. The Big Hole The Windows kernel is the core of the operating system and the flaw is related to how embedded font files are processed. We're not going to get into the technical mumbo-jumbo here, so we'll just tell you that the problem - if exploited - would allow malicious code to be passed directly to the system, bypassing any browser defenses that have been created to stop this sort of attack. The code could be downloaded...
