The Inclusive 4GB SD Card Workaround Solution for Wii!

Nintendo says the SD card size limit is 2GB. Basically what it comes down to, is if you ensure there’s always less than 1.99GB of free space on an SD card, it doesn’t seem to matter what size the SD card is. So you fill up the space with crap, and when your SD card fills up with Wii content, you delete the crap. Juggling this about you can fill up the full SD card with Wii content.

UK MoD determined to give away all it’s base

Unbelievably, after losing data on all current and ex- RAFpersonell plus dependents (and yes, that includes financial and bank account as well as personal data: NB. the numbers range from 5,000 to 50,000 to everyone depending on what you read) from a cupboard in a deserted (and minimally guarded by the army) airbase at Innsworth on unencrypted USB drives on 27/9

The MoD has now lost data for 600,000 or 100,000 (depending on who you believe) military personell, or half the armed forces. They were stolen from defence contractor EDS (why the fuck did EDS have this data in the first damn place?!) on… yup… an unencrypted USB disk.

Now, wouldn’t you have thought since losing all these other centralised databases this year, they would have learned to at least put some encryption on these disks? It’s easy to do and you can even get good, solid encryption for FREE!

Poker sites ripping off

Online poker sites Absolute Poker and UltimateBet have had a security flaw in them, which allowed certain players to see the hole cards of all the other players. An Australian, Michael Josem, used statistical analysis to prove that certain accounts were winning around 100 times more often than other accounts. Now there’s a whole suing clusterfuck, where the state is suing the owners of the sites, who are suing the makers of the sites. Employees are being fired and even the World Series of Poker winner Russ Hamilton has been implicated as being a cheater.

UK Passport troubles… again!

So after having had 3000 new blank ‘unbreakable’ passports stolen during delivery from the truck, they’ve (well, specifically, Jeroen van Beek of the UvA) now discovered that the passports can be cloned and altered (eg. have digital images inserted on them or other different biometrics, such as thumbprints, eyeprints) within a few minutes. The fraudulent passports are verified as ‘real’ by the official software and equipment used to verify them.

Image Fulgurator

The Image Fulgurator is a device for physically manipulating photographs. It intervenes when a photo is being taken, without the photographer being able to detect anything.

In principle, the Fulgurator can be used anywhere where there is another camera nearby that is being used with a flash. In principle, the Fulgurator can be used anywhere where there is another camera nearby that is being used with a flash. It operates via a kind of reactive flash projection that enables an image to be projected on an object exactly at the moment when someone else is photographing it.

The intervention is unobtrusive because it takes only a few milliseconds. The intervention is unobtrusive because it takes only a few milliseconds. Every photo another photographer takes of an object at which the Fulgurator is also aimed is affected by the manipulation.

Hence visual information can be smuggled unnoticed into the images of others. Hence visual information can be smuggled unnoticed into the images of others.

Basically it projects ghosts into digital images unnoticeably.

Microsoft Coffee

There are a couple of *NIX distributions out there that come on a CD with loads of hacking and cracking tool. None is officially released by Microsoft. Untill now. COFEE (Computer Online Forensic Evidence Extractor) is a USB stick with allegedly over 100 tools and a mouseclick away from hacking your base, some of it by ransacking your live RAM. It’s distributed to law enforcement all over the world, and MS denies that it uses the MS backdoor.

There’s loads more to find out there on Google.
