This is so simple, it’s absolutely brilliant! If you don’t want to agree with something you’re not going to read, you can use the fravia method to hack the software to switch the buttons, so you press the ‘disagree’ button. But this takes time and effort.
Alternatively, you could use a bit of cardboard and get your pet to agree of it’s own free will 🙂

The Agreeable Cat by Anne Loucks

This guy has built a proof-of-concept machine for around $250,- which allows you to remotely read RFID chips in passports and then clone them. There’s a video of the machine in action as well.

Not only have they found a way to hack certain keys, and found a way to forge certificates, they’ve now found a way to use the registration process of one of the CA’s to issue a certificate for any site you like.
Researchers (whoever /they/ are) are now estimating around 14% of all certificates to be false.
Considering the emphasis on SSL as being secure, this is somewhat of a crisis of confidence in internet security.

Basically all you have to do is send a text message with a ‘from’ identifier of length > 32 chars and a small flag set.
The only way to recover is a factory reset, allthough there is a link in the text which may or may not work.
A staggering amount of the Nokia product line is affected.

Two hacks are described here:
1) make a laserprinted copy of a license plate of your ‘enemy’, stick it on the back of your car and go zooming past speed cameras
2) cruise the neighbourhood for a similar car to yours, duplicate the license plate and drive around worry free.

Phoenix Labs » PeerGuardian 2 is an IP blocker that has most of the people in there that you don’t want accessing your IP, such as the RIAA and other fanatics with a history of randomly suing people with an internet connection.

Just as each individual printer has unique qualities so you can see if a page was printed from it, each brand and model digital camera can be detected from the relationship of the pixels in an image to each other.

From the guys who brought you aircrack-ng, now with WPA cracking abilities!

Apparently, during the campaign both camps were hacked and not by each other. According to the FB a third party copied huge amounts of files from their campaign servers. There is some speculation it’s a foreign power that could use the documents to see how decisions are made in the winners camp and use that during negotiations to bring about favorable conditions.

So, should you want to do with it what you like – follow the link!

It’s all been cracked open in the Doom9 forum. DRM is not a cure, it has been cured again!

Well, it looks pretty damn complete to mii 🙂

SNEAKEY is a system that can take a poor resolution picture of a key and from that create a prefect working duplicate.

After an update with which Nintendo killed new homebrew channel installations, this part has been circumvented allready.

This wiki explains how to set up your Wii for homebrew, how to install the homebrew channel and the homebrew softwares you can then get.

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.

well, that only took Dark Alex 2 days…

It turns out that PIN machines usually process your transaction properly, but every so often they send some packets containing PIN transaction detailas to an unknown destination. The random and slow skimming of details makes it very difficult to track down what’s happening.

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!

If you want the ability to clone your RFID passport with photo and name changes included, go here quickly before it’s taken down!

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.

Well, the apple version of QuickPwn 2.1 for the 2.1 firmware was broken beginning of last week, now the dev-team supports windows as well! <3 the Pineapple!

Without any legal approval, it seems the Bavarian police would like to turn Germany into a police state. They seem to have developed a trojan that latches on to Skype clients and allows eavesdropping as well as sending technical details of the client PC.

Turns out she uses her Yahoo account for work, so as to escape accountability and federal laws on data retention.

Denver airport security screeners have been given a new uniform with a metal badge that sets off the metal detectors. Solution? Simple! Don’t screen anyone wearing a screener uniform.
