coca-cola h4x0r3d 20oz bottles - they now only have 16oz bottles

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 19:30:57 +0000

from the genius minds in coca-cola who brought you the 1.5 liter bottle (at the same cost of a 2 liter bottle) comes the 16oz bottle of soda - for the same price as a 20oz bottle...

this pissed me off... just venting - and making others aware that coca-cola is ripping you off... i will be contacting the CEO.. and considering making a petition or something...

wal-mart going to use RFID to track store inventory

Sat, 24 Jul 2010 04:04:54 +0000

just reading an article about wal-mart adding RFID chips to certain merchandise so that they can track it...

http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/110152/wal-mart-radio-tags-to-track-clothing

the article says that the RFID tags are removable - but can not be turned off - but it is implying that the tags will not be removed at the store, so you will end up bringing the RFID chip home with you...

found something else disturbing

Quote

Several states, including Washington and New York, have begun issuing enhanced driver's licenses that contain radio- frequency tags with unique ID numbers

i do not have the RFID now, but my license expires in the next few months and will need to be renewed... going to have to figure out how to disable the tracking chip when i get the new license...

Warranty Exploits

Sat, 12 Jun 2010 17:31:16 +0000

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. Do not do things illegal. I have not done what is written about in this post. Use your own discretion and common sense. Fraud will make you go to jail.

I've discovered some terrible authentication processes in some electronic warranty companies.

illogiteq for example (a totally fictitious and made up company). To warranty one of their products this is what you COULD do:

0) Photoshop a receipt from Staples or Walmart showing your purchase of the item (the important part here is the Date - make sure it shows the item that you want to warranty through illogiteq). A lot of times with electronics shops you can ask them to make you a quote of the item and they will print you out a "quote" recipt where you can then scan it in and remove the word "quote".

Alternately you can attempt to make a fake receipt with a made up company (have not tried this)

1) Email illogiteq support at (removed to protect my own ass) and upload a picture of the S/N of the product you want to warranty. Tell them the product got really hot and died. Tried on multiple machines with multiple OS's.

1B) Alternately you can call them and simply tell them that the item got really hot and died. Tried on multiple machines etc etc.

2) Wait for them to reply and give them your mailing address.

3) Receive new Product In mail.

With items that "get really hot" and "have no indicator lights" and ones you've tried on multiple machines they will simply mail you a new product.

In Theory you could go into a walmart store, take pictures of the S/N of all the illogiteq items and get 'free' product in the mail. They DO NOT ask you to send the faulty product back.

Even though this is a pretty rugged warranty hack (not to mention illegal and fraudulent) its not quite as bad as the time I went into walmart and bought a case of nitrous whip cream and, um, "used" it all, then returned it and told them it was all flat and got my money back. :P

I have a fictional friend who found this picture of a prototype illogiteq gamer keyboard review on the internet. He tried to warranty it but they told him that he couldnt because it wasnt released yet. He simply waited a few months and with the same s/n and picture he did manage to warranty it and got this really new keyboard that was just released (all of this happend in a dream I had - none of this actually happend)

Essentailly what you are doing here is stealing some one elses warranty

Just thought I would share.

Server Rack in Walmart?

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 14:27:51 +0000

I was in Walmart recently and noticed as I was leaving on the wall in the front of the store,there was a locked network wallmount rack,with switches and patchpanels in it. I thought this was strange because where I live there are three walmarts and i have never seen a rack at all,much less in the front of the store,but there was one at this store i visited in tennessee. Has anyone else seen these in the aisles of their local Walmart?

sniffing POS traffic

Sun, 23 May 2010 19:24:54 +0000

So from what I understand, you gain access to the network( WEP, WPA crack etc.) and then run a sniffer? Or do you need to do some arp poisoning or spoof mac addr of gw? Also is POS traffic encrypted? What packet format is it in?

How to make free copies at Fairfax County libraries!

Fri, 30 Apr 2010 23:18:41 +0000

Recently I was at the library (Fairfax County Public Library) and I was playing around with the copy machine, just pushing buttons. At first I couldn't do much, seeing as I didn't put any money in there. However, I figured out how to access the admin menu. First, you press the "Access A" button. It will ask you for a password, so enter 1111. (This is actually the default password used to access your library card online.) If no menu appears, touch Close and it will appear. From this menu you can change settings like whether or not to require input from an external device (the money acceptor) in order to allow copies. This particular setting is under Access and Authentication or something like that. Oh, and 1111 is the first password I guessed, lol.

Wal Mart Password

Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:52:40 +0000

so i was at walmart the other day out by the gas pumps and my phone told me there was some wifi. and when i checked it out all the gas pumps run off the wifi and i wanted to know the password. so i asked the cashier guy at the gas pump and he said that the wifi for walmart is the number 1 x26 so that is 1 26 times.

Hacking kiosks at Borders

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:26:47 +0000

I went to Borders today, and I started using one of their kiosks. I knew pressing F6 could open up a login screen, so I figured I would just try a couple passwords. I pressed it, and the username was pre-entered: staff0349. I figured 0349 was the store number, and I later found out I was correct. The first password I tried was 0349, which didn't work. The second password I tried was staff, and that worked! All it did was quit to a desktop, but that can be useful, as the Start menu is filled with all kinds of shortcuts, and I saw a web browser open with some kind of database control panel. Here are the instructions for hacking a Borders kiosk:

Press F6 to open the login screen.
For the username, type staff????, where ???? is the store number.
For the password, type staff.

Free 2wire Router thru AT&T

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 02:14:56 +0000

Recently I had to increase my bandwidth. I took advantage of a sweet deal by AT&T that if I purchased their 'elite' DSL package they would give me a free wireless gateway and a $75 check. I took the bait.

I purchased the package on their website. After waiting a prolonged period on their website to have my order processed, I closed out my browser (as oppossed to refreshing it) as it didn't appear likely that the order would be completed in the foreseeable future. I processed another order hoping that the first order was lost and this time I received a success window. A few minutes afterwards I received two emails from AT&T. They were for both orders. I called the next day to cancel the one order and even though they said that the order would be canceled I received two wireless gateways in the mail. A few days later when the tech came by to install the DSL line he said he had two orders and I told him the story about the website. He assured me that I would only be billed for whatever he installed and as he installed only one line then that completed his task and set up the terms for my billing cycle.

So what's the deal with the other router? Yes this could have been a fluke, but I suspect that their website generates orders automatically to the provider of their DSL packages and that once an order is processed by the site the chain of events is unstoppable or that it would cost more to stop the process then to allow the odd guy like myself to have an accidental double order. I experienced this once through an Amazon 3rd party retailer. I processed the order through Amazon and then after the 'normal' cancel window of two hours I decided I didn't want the product. Even though it was past midnight, the 3rd party company was closed (no overnight processing), and I sent an email to their customer service right away they refused to cancel the order, even though no work had been started yet. The entire process was so automated that once the 'go' is given it must be completed.

So yeah, it could have been a fluke, but maybe not...has anyone experienced this with AT&T or anyone else for that matter? They never inquired about it and it now rests on my shelf as a backup gateway which will soon be used for other purposes. The key here and the flaw in the AT&T system is that their website through customer traffic can generate the official "go" command to initiate the router shipment process.

Firefox Add-ons & iPod Touch Application

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:04:00 +0000

There have been alot of Programs for ripping a video from Google Videos or Youtube, each with several advanced features that require a training program from NASA in order to use them! I have done alot of work with DVD Production, and Video Converting to know that the normal use will never know how to use majority of the programs on the market!

A group of us have been asked by most all of our friends " HOW can I get quality music videos from Youtube onto my iPod Touch" ? Well I have found 2 ways that are easy, 1 being the officially LEGAL, and 2 being not as much!

#1 Firefox and the Add-on ( 1- Click YouTube Video Converter ) ...

Anyone that uses Firefox knows they can click on Tools, scroll down too Add-ons, and search for nearly anything you would ever want to add!

Anyone with an iPod Touch knows you can add Music, Videos, Photos, and more with iTunes! Now once you have installed the ( 1- Click YouTube Video Converter ) to your Firefox Browser, you can move ahead too YouTube and search for whatever videos you want! Now once you have found the video you want, you will notice that you have the option to download the video as either an FLV or an MP4! MP4 is the format used by Apple on the iPod projects, and with this add-on it now is that much easier to upload Music Video files to your iPod or iPod Touch!

#2 You can do this is through a process of Jailbreaking your iPod, and installing other 3rd Party software that would allow you to do the same thing I just mentioned, only without having to install an Add-on through a browser, and instead installing a package to the iPod Touch!

I hope you have fun using this info. I know it is basic info, not a new Hack, or a Crack, but it should help those it was intended for!
