If you’re stuck in a hotel room or a college dorm room and would like to have some fun with people the video below will show you how to spoof both SSL and DNS. SSL spoofing will allow you to see things that would normally be encrypted in plain text. DNS spoofing will allow you to send people to any site you want. If they type google.com you can send them to yahoo.com all in the name of fun.
You will need Linux to do this, the best choice would probably be BackTrack. BackTrack is designed to be an out of the box hacking machine. The hacks rely on something called ARP poisoning which I’ve defined below for your reading pleasure.
(n.) Also referred to as ARP poison routing (APR) or ARP cache poisoning, a method of attacking an Ethernet LAN by updating the target computer’s ARP cache with both a forged ARP request and reply packets in an effort to change the Layer 2 Ethernet MAC address (i.e., the address of the network card) to one that the attacker can monitor. Because the ARP replies have been forged, the target computer sends frames that were meant for the original destination to the attacker’s computer first so the frames can be read. A successful APR attempt is invisible to the user.(webopedia)
Windows Live Search is a really cool tool if you’ve got a Windows based smartphone. I have it installed on my Samsung i760 and I love it. I use my bluetooth GPS device with the Windows Live application to get directions to just about anywhere. You can also just type the name of a restaurant or business and it will find it and let you map directions to that place from your current location.
The downside to the application is that it requires a constant internet connection to be used properly so if you don’t have a data plan from your wireless carrier you’re not going to be able to take full advantage of it.
This is great news for Blackberry users because they can take advantage of the GPS unit built into some of their devices. It will also add more reason to call it a crackberry because when you’re not checking your email you’ll be using the maps to figure out where you’re at and where you need to go.
I’ve only scratched the surface on Twitter. I put off joining up for quite a long time but finally took the plunge a few weeks ago.
Spamming has aparentally become a big enough issue on Twitter that they have started blacklisting the spammers. It hasn’t been said how you get yourself on this blacklist but I imagine it involves spamming people.
Before today, Twitter would mark accounts as “spam”, but not tell the owners of the accounts they marked them as spam. Those owners of the accounts could follow others, but no one was able to follow them, and there was no way for the owners of those accounts to know they had been blacklisted.
WinRAR is and always has been a free trial application. When the trial runs out it continues to function but there is a nagging reminder that your trial is up and you should buy the application. The folks at RARLAB are now giving away WinRAR for free. You won’t be able to get the latest version for free (v. 3.71), but you will get v. 3.62.
Here’s how you can get your complimentary version of WinRAR 3.62:
