Hacking The Internet Archive For
Lawsuits
07/12/2004 03:57 PMA fascinating post over at Lawmeme discusses a case where someone's
lawyers were
accused of hacking into The Internet Archive in
order to access certain archived web page that could be incriminating.
The company in question, perhaps realizing the problems with those
web pages, had asked Archive.org not to archive their sites.
Somehow, however, they claim the law firm of the other party "hacked"
into archive.org to access the data anyway. It's not at all clear how
someone could hack into archive.org to access the material, but as
James Grimmelmann notes, this seems like a legal issue worth watching.
It didn't become a major issue in this particular case, but it
certainly is likely to come up again in the future.

tinkering with their cars since the first horseless buggy hit the
road. Now, thanks to onboard computerized systems that control
everything from engine management systems to radios, hackers can
customize their rides in ways that are likely to have Henry Ford doing
back flips in his grave. Feeding this need for speed with aftermarket
computer chips and simple upgraded components gneerates $25

Hacking matter
Hacking matter
06/24/2004 06:41 AMI've been reading Wil McCarthy's book
Hacking Matter, which is a popularized version
of the serious study of quantum dots and the ability to build
pseudomatter using artificial atoms. How can one not like a book,
which contains wonderful sentences such as this one:
- Now we can create not only a thin film of goldlike
pseudomatter, but a three-dimensional solid with pseudogold dopant
atoms on the inside as well. Thus, we can generate a bulk material
with the mass of wickered silicon, but the physical, chemical, and
electrical properties of an otherwise-impossible gold/silicon
alloy.
I mean - even the minuscule thought of it is breathtaking! The
wonders of the universe! How could one not love this world, when so
many incredible things are about? This could, and would change the
face of the world as we know it. You just flick a switch, and you can
make a part of the wall transparent - or a light source - or a TV
screen - or gold. Whatever pleases you.
As an aside, I also found another very interesting paragraph (among
thousands, but this one has an ominous look):
- At his insistence, we filed an application with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office, and within a few weeks we'd
been contacted by the U.S. Air Force about the possibility of maybe
licensing it.
Note that even in the US, patents are generally considered secret and
proprietary, until a year of the filing date has passed. This is so
that the application can be amended, fixed, and just being kept secret
from the competitors, who might find a way to redesign around the
actual implementation (ideas are not patentable as such). Obviously,
the military is ignoring all that and have their own informants within
the US patent process... Somehow, that does not surprise me at
all.

Hacking Idol
05/17/2004 02:54 PMIt's great to finally hear someone talk about phone phreaking and
other attempts to subvert American Idol voting. Just
last week I was trolling the web looking for web-to-SMS gateways to
see if one could write a bot to vote-spam an American Idol contestant.
To hear that folks are using automated dialers to shut out voters
seems even more obvious. They should probably just make the voting a
900 number, at say, 50 cents a vote, in order to limit hackery but
people could still simply jam the lines with DoS attacks using
dialers.

Hacking An Election
Hacking An Election
02/10/2004 02:41 AMNothing particularly new here if you've been following the whole issue
on problems with electronic voting machines, but Salon has a fairly
comprehensive piece describing
the concerns of those who want to stop current voting
machines from being used in elections. It describes some of the
not-quite-so-secure techniques Diebold used to "secure" their machines
- including leaving the necessary password out in the open. It also
talks about how comments in the source code of the Diebold machines
make it clear that the engineers knew that parts of the software don't
work, and yet it was still used in elections. The responses from
those who defend the electronic voting systems are a bit scary, as
they basically ignore the point. Instead, they talk about how other
voting methods have problems as well, and how difficult or expensive
it would be to fix these voting machines. Whoever said democracy was
supposed to be cheap?
Update: Whoops. A new report says
electronic voting machines in North Carolina
lost 436 ballots last year.

Another group of hardware hackers have at a Roomba robotic
vacuum cleaner:
"For higher level control, we've attached a Virgin
Webplayer. The Webplayer was sold as a loss leader for Virgin's
internet service in the late 90s, and thus can be found on ebay for
under $100. It has two serial ports, a 200MHz Geode processor, 64M
ram, and a miniPCI port. Thus, we can give it an 802.11b card, a
webcam, and a usb-serial adapter."

Querystring Hacking with PHP

and Standards: arg_separator.output: A few months ago, I went ballistic on querystring arguments. I rambled on
about how I hate them and go to ridiculous lengths to avoid them. I
think I'm somewhat insane in this respect.
Well, I found out today that PHP can be set to parse the
querystring differently using the "arg_separator.input" ini setting. You could have it use
semi-colons or whatever, and it would correctly parse the querystring
into the $_GET array.
However, I can't see a setting to change the key/value separator,
which must have to stay the equals sign. Anyone else know how to
change that...you know, just so we can make our apps completely
non-standard?

05/10/2004 04:21 PMCNET posts an inter
esting New York Times article about a group of European
researchers who have found ways to 'un-black' blacked out text in
documents like those released by the government in recent months by
using a process-of-elimination technique to figure out what words fit
under the obscured area.
The researchers showed their software at the conference, called
Eurocrypt, by analyzing a presidential briefing memorandum released in
April to the commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks. After
analyzing the document, they said they had high confidence the word
"Egyptian" had been blacked out in a passage describing the source of
an intelligence report stating that Osama Bin Ladin was planning an
attack in the United States.

iPod enthusiast Matt Gilbert has
thrown together a nice, cost-efficient hack to get the iPod running
directly to a car stereo without having an auxiliary input. He had
experienced static and interference when using FM Transmitters or
cassette adapters, and this tweak uses a toggle switch and some wire
splicing to create a direct line-in into any car stereo.
The total cost of the mod is under $1 (if you already have basic
wiring tools and supplies), and it's a great way to ruin your
dashboard if you mess up.
