RFID Hacking... Name Your Own Price

RFID Hacking... Name Your Own Price 07/29/2004 02:42 AM
There are a number of folks who have been over reacting a bit to the idea of RFIDs being used in stores to replace bar codes. There certainly are problems with the technology, but most of the privacy issues can be solved with a few small changes and some additio nal technologies. However, if folks are still really upset about RFIDs, why not just pull a Re-code< /a> and hack the RFIDs to have them display whatever info you want? While the article notes that the software being discussed can rewrite RFIDs for malicious purposes, it can also be useful for letting people control their own RFIDs. Of course, figuring out a way to keep RFIDs so they can't be recoded until they leave the store is going to be a big challenge. Though, none of this is going to matter at all if paten t issues continue to cause problems in the RFID market.

Race for the Ultimate Car Hacks By Michelle Deli People have been 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 million…

Querystring Hacking with PHP

Querystring Hacking with PHP 06/05/2005 11:46 PM

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?

Hacking Idol

Hacking Idol 05/17/2004 02:54 PM

It'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 Text

Hacking Text 05/10/2004 04:21 PM

CNET 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.

More Roomba hacking 07/14/2004 10:00 AM
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."

Hacking matter

Hacking matter 06/24/2004 06:41 AM
I'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.
