How to Hack Bluetooth

**Don't attempt whatever this person writes. There use to be a time where all we concerned ourselves with is "cookies", those days are long gone and if a 38 year old man can sit in his mother's basement and access darknet, so can the feds.



Welcome back, my novice hackers!
Episode 6 of Mr. Robot has come and gone and, as usual, it did not disappoint. Once again, our hero, Elliot, has used his extraordinary intellect and hacking skills to awe and inspire us.
In this episode, Elliot is being blackmailed by the ruthless and unrelenting drug dealer, Vera, to hack him out of jail. He is holding Elliot's new love interest, Shayla, hostage and has given Elliot until midnight to hack the jail's computer system in order to release him.

Elliot tries to explain to Vera that such a hack can't be done in a matter of hours, but rather days or weeks to find a security vulnerability that he can exploit. Vera, being the vicious and feeble-minded killer that he is, will not relent to give Elliot more time. As a result, Elliot has to attempt some less-than-optimal techniques to try to hack Vera out of jail to save the lovely Shayla (as you remember, Shayla is also his morphine supplier).

Malicious Flash Drive

In his first attempt to hack the jail, Elliot has Darlene, his friend and nemesis from f/society, "accidentally" drop infected flash drives outside the jail. The strategy here is that if someone inside the jail's network picks one up and inserts it into their computer system, which will then inject malware and give Elliot a connection on the outside.

As expected, a dimwitted corrections officer does pick one up and inserts it into his computer. Elliot is able to get a SSH connection to it, but before he is able to do anything, the AV software detects it and disconnects Elliot. Elliot then chides Darlene as a "script-kiddie" for using a well-known malware from Rapid9 (a reference to Metasploit's developer, Rapid7) rather than develop a new exploit, and Darlene defends herself saying "I only had one hour." (She could have possibly re-encoded it with Veil-Evasion and it might have gone past the AV software undetected.)
Some have questioned whether this approach could work. Before the disabling of the automatic autorun feature on modern operating systems, you could have an EXE file on the flash drive that would automatically execute. On a modern OS, autorun is disabled by default.
We might assume that this machine had the autorun feature enabled or, more likely, Darlene had installed the malware on a flash drive that has been reprogrammed to emulate a USB keyboard. When the flash drive is installed on the system, the operating system then recognizes the flash drive as a USB keyboard, giving it access with the rights of the logged in user and then injects its malicious code into the operating system. So, this approach may have worked had Darlene re-encoded the malware with Veil-Evasion.

Hack WPA2

While Elliot is visiting Vera in jail, he brings his phone with him, on which he has installed a Wi-Fi scanner app. With that scanner, he can see all the Wireless APs and sees that they are all secured with WPA2. Although he knows he can crack WPA2, he recognizes that the short time frame he is working with is inadequate to brute-force WPA2.

The top 10 prepper skills and abilities FNG needs to survive



So I was perusing the survival and prepper websites the other day (as I do every day) and came across a couple articles on prepper skills. Then I saw on facebook that a couple people were asking pretty much the same thing: what are the most important prepper skills/abilities you should be working on?
One key thing to know is that the more you know, the less you have to carry. Knowing something doesn’t weigh any more than not knowing something, but not knowing something can make you carry more than if you knew more.

Now some of those aren’t really skills but traits but the lists helped me by doing that. I decided that there are things that aren’t quite skills but rather abilities that you need to work on as well, so I tweaked the focus of this article a bit.
There are many considerations that you have to think about when deciding which skills and abilities you should be focusing on learning if you’re trying to be prepared for being lost camping, home invasions, weather emergencies, SHTF, TEOTWAWKI, or whatever. Here’s what you need to consider when trying to figure out what skills and abilities you need to know or have to deal with SHTF or emergencies:


What are you preparing for?

The first consideration is really, what are you preparing for? I wrote a whole article on this concept previously. If your plan is focused primarily on responding to a local weather disaster like a hurricane or tornado, you’ll probably need skills that rely more heavily on medical care. If you live in an area prone to flooding, you’ll need to focus more on water filtration and waste disposal. If you’re greatly concerned about the total breakdown of society or a government takeover, you may want to focus more heavily on weapons-handling, self-defense, and tactics.
This is essentially the same thing as trying to get somewhere without knowing where it is you’re trying to go. You need to know what threats you’ll most likely be facing and what risks those threats pose that you’re wanting to mitigate (your destination – your Point B), then look at what you can do right now about them (your current location – or Point A), and map yourself out a course to get from Point A to Point B.

What do you have available to you?

As I wrote about in my 3 inventories post previously, in order to come up with a plan to survive, you need to know what you have available. What do you know how to do? What friends do you have available? What can your friends do? What equipment do you have available to you? You’re essentially taking inventory of what skills, abilities, and stuff you have or know how to get.
If you’ve spent some time gathering a few things for an EDC kit (every day carry kit) to have with you at all times and a well-planned bug out bag in case SHTF or whatever, then you’ll have a big advantage. For example, if you have a good water filter in it like the Sawyer MINI that I carry in both my go bag and my bug out bag (and my Harley), you don’t have to focus as much time on learning other water filtration methods. If you want a good book on what to pack in a bug out bag, read Build the Perfect Bug Out Bag: Your 72-Hour Disaster Survival Kit.
Stop screaming back in the back corner. Remember; this is about prioritization. If you have an hour to learn either first aid or water purification and you have a sawyer mini, you should focus on first aid first and then back to water purification if you have time. I didn’t say that if you have a water filter that you don’t have to learn how to filter water without one. Geesh.
This isn’t just about inventory either. Along your route (in this case, from FNG’s gambling-living neighborhood to the cabin), there are things available such as locations to get water and places to avoid such as section-8 housing. The more you can use something along the way, the less you have to focus on it. The more something introduces a challenge to you along the way, the more you need to prioritize mitigating that challenge.

What strengths and weaknesses do you have?

If you’ve had 30 years of experience as an 18B Special Forces Weapons Sergeant then you probably don’t need to be focusing much time on developing on weapons and tactics. Obviously you need to maintain what you have but if you’re already a master at CQB and aren’t that great at trapping, then guess which you should be focusing on if your intent is to be as prepared as possible.
On the other hand, if you have a physical disability, you should probably be focusing your time on learning transferrable and non-physical skills such as communications or medical so you can be an effective member of a team, regardless of your circumstances, in addition to the obvious: how to deal with your disability during a crisis. It would be time better-spent for you than learning CQB.
Each of you have a wide variety of experiences and abilities that are completely different than others. You need to take an inventory of yourself and see what you can leverage and what you need to compensate for.

What skills and abilities do your family members or teammates have that you can rely on?

14 Cool Concept Motorcycles

We love to show you the latest cool rides available, but if you’ve been wondering what kind of awesome motorcycles may be on the horizon then check out these cool concept bikes. Some are functional, but not practical yet for mass production, while others really push the envelope in terms of creative design.

Mach Ness

Motorcycle manufacturer Arlen Ness crafted this metal monster powered by a gas-turbine helicopter engine. The aluminum outer shell with noticeably large rivets gives it a sort of steam punk edge that you just won’t get from carbon fiber and plastic. The body has been shaped entirely by hand, which lends to why it’s not being mass produced. Source

Icare Bike Concept

If we had access to all the possible concept designs for Batman’s motorcycle the Icare Bike Concept would certainly be on the list. We could just imagine the Dark Knight leaning into a tight turn on this sleek black bike. Icare isn’t just a cool concept, but a real working design. It’s powered by a six-cylinder 1.8 liter Honda engine with dual exhaust. Right now it’s still up in the air whether or not it will go into production, but keep you fingers crossed. Source


Swordfish Motorcycle Concept

Any concept bike you’ve ever thought of as sleek has nothing on the Swordfish. The Swordfish Motorcycle concept by Alexander Kotlyarevsky sports an aggressive futuristic design and hubless wheels. The overall look has interesting mix between curves and sharp angles that earn this bike its name. Source


Halbo Future Duo-Wheel BMW

If you’re looking for an incredibly small and fast motorcycle and could care less about your personal safety then we’ve got a bike for you. Designer Pierre Yohanes designed the Halbo for eco-minded people who want something compact and electric powered. The front wheel is stationary and the back tail turns, so it’s kind of like riding a motorboat. Source

12 tips for getting the best sound quality in your car


A car can be a great place to enjoy music, but many commuters still put up with marginal sound quality that they'd never tolerate at home. Others assemble sophisticated sound systems for their cars, then make common installation mistakes that keep the system from reaching its full potential. I've put together some suggestions on how to improve the sound in your vehicle, with tips for both simple factory systems and more sophisticated setups. You don't have to live with bad sound in your car. Even the simplest improvements to your system can yield noticeable results.

Kicker KS series car audio speakers

Tip #1: Replace your car's speakers

In most cases, the speakers are just about the last thing a manufacturer thinks about when designing and building your car. Factory systems have gotten better over the last few years, but many so-called "premium" systems still use relatively inexpensive amps and speakers that don't deliver top-notch sound.
You can make a big difference in your system's sound quality by installing a nice set of aftermarket speakers. You'll hear tighter bass and more overall clarity, and you'll most likely notice details you've never heard before in songs you've known for years.
Replacement speakers give you maximum bang for your buck, so they're a terrific first step on the road to better sound.

Tip #2: Select higher quality for your music files

Yes, you can store more music files in your music player if you use greater compression, and they'll sound okay when you're listening through earbuds. But you lose some high- and low-frequency information when you compress your music, along with some of the details that make your music interesting. And, on a good car audio system, you can really tell that something's missing.
Don't settle for the default setting when creating your files. If you want to use your iPod, smartphone, or MP3 player in your car, try using as little compression as possible. The higher the bit rate, the better your music will sound through your car's system. And if you stream music, explore the settings in your favorite music app to step up your audio quality.

Alpine CDE-HD148BT

Tip #3: Bypass your music player's built-in digital-to-analog converter

A digital-to-analog converter, or DAC, has the job of converting digital information — 0's and 1's — into analog music signals. Your music player's built-in DAC usually does a good enough job for casual listening with earbuds, but it doesn't deliver the same level of performance you can get from the more advanced DACs found in many of today's better car stereos. Fortunately, if you can connect your iPod or phone to your aftermarket stereo via a USB cable, you might be able to bypass your device's DAC. It depends on the individual stereo, so be sure to check the stereo's "Hands-on Research" info on the Crutchfield website for confirmation.
Dynamat door kit

Tip #4: Use Dynamat or another sound deadening material

By reducing vibration and road noise, Dynamat does two things to make your system sound better.
First off, a door panel isn't the best place for a speaker — the thin metal vibrates as your music plays, which affects the accuracy of the sound. When you attach Dynamat to your door panel, it deadens those vibrations and creates a more stable platform for your speaker, more like the wooden baffle on a home speaker.
Second, have you ever noticed how your system sounds really good at 25 mph, but gets a little harsh when you hit 60? Road noise tends to mask the lower frequencies first, so your system sounds overly bright when you turn it up at highway speeds. Dynamat lowers interior noise levels in your car, so you don't have to turn your music up as loud when you're driving. You'll hear more musical detail, and your amps won't have to work as hard. And that's all good.

Make Money Blogging - A Step-By-Step Guide


Building your own blog doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.
You can get started today by following my simple, easy-to-follow steps here at Build Your Own Blog. In just a few hours, you can start using a functional, quality blog that gets results for your business or whatever your blogging goals may be.
Build Your Own Blog is here for new bloggers as well as experienced blog owners who want to learn more about effective, results driven blogging.
My name is Matthew Loomis, and I’ve been blogging professionally and for fun since 2005. I put together this total blog building program so that more people can get out of the rat race and find meaningful work they love to do through their own high quality blog.
This is your opportunity to do the same. Or get left behind.
A blog can not only improve your business but also change your life.

Whether your motive is to make more money or simply to have fun, setting up an attractive, professional-looking blog that matches your goals and personality is quite simple these days.

What makes this guide different from the others?


You can find other websites like this one just by using a search engine. They are out there…
I took some time before launching this site to check out a large portion of other “blog success” type websites.
After studying the competition, I determined two key elements that were missing, and this missing information is what prompted me to start a website.
I made it my mission to reveal the missing pieces because without this critical info many people would continue wallowing in mediocre blogs.
Want to know what the two “missing pieces” are? Okay, let’s look at each one.

System vs. Content

While studying other “how to” blog sites out there, I noticed they’re commonly based on the same approach… Systems. Systems. And more systems.
Systems are fine. But without great content, a blog system isn’t going to do much to help you attract readers or clients in the long run.
My focus on high quality content as the key to blogging success is what separates this site from the herd.
This lack of information on content typically found on other blog sites creates a second unfortunate result for their users…

Providing Shallow Advice Instead of Deep


You see, most of the other sites out there end up being shallow—they get people started, but then abandon their students before they can build a level of momentum for their blog that’s sustainable.
In other words, most blog training websites stop educating their users after they launch their blogs. As a result, people get left treading water.
If I may use another swimming metaphor: People don’t learn how to swim in shallow water. They learn how to swim (growing stronger in the process) in the deep water.
Here at Build Your Own Blog you will get “deep water.”
Build Your Own Blog provides you with ongoing training after your blog is up.
Oh yeah, there’s one other thing to consider…
Can’t Wait To Get Started? Take me to 1st step in the guide

Why Pay?



The few other websites out there that can teach you how to blog charge a hefty price for their information. These sites typically want anywhere from $99 to about $250.
Why would you want to pay for advice that you can get free right here at no charge?
What types of blogs can you build with this guide?
There is a one word reason why most successful blogs are using the WordPress(i) platform—simplicity.
That’s why WordPress is the blog platform we recommend. Because of its ease-of-use for those not experienced in website development (probably 99.9% of bloggers), WordPress is the foundation of this guide.
Not only is WordPress simple, but it also has unmatched flexibility that enables you to create just about any type of blog design needed. There are literally thousands of looks to choose from. Say, for example, that you wanted to blog about your favorite soccer club, Australian politics and a third blog for your business. WordPress has a design that’s just right for each. (Putting the three topics together would not be a good idea. But that’s something I’ll talk about later in a blog article.)
And let’s suppose later on you need to change the look of your blog—the fact that you can change the appearance at any time, and do it cheaply, only makes my WordPress promoting that much easier.
Pretty sweet, don’t you think?

No Need to Fear

WordPress is something I am comfortable teaching to other people. If you are nervous about using it, I would be happy to help you get started.
I can relate to those scary feelings of the unknown. Before using WordPress, I was a bit worried at first, too.
When people do something new or different, a little coaching can really be helpful. I have seen blogs of all types succeed just by following the steps on this site—from Cooking, Fitness, Music, News Aggregation, Bobsledding, and the Meaning of Life, and many other topics.
The advice here is free—but I don’t recommend using a free blog service.

Why free blogs are bad for you?

There are several good reasons why you should avoid all the free blogging services you come across, including well known platforms like blogger.com and wordpress.com.
I want to include Google+ here also, as some are now using this social media platform as a blogging platform as well.
Here are the reasons why I don’t recommend doing this…
Reason I: You do not own the real estate your business sits on.
As a “renter,” your blog can be evicted (shut down) at any time by the “landlord” (free blog service.) This happens more than you might think. I know someone who lost two years of invested time, content and branding simply because their free blog host didn’t like something they said in a post.
Reason II: A hacker can steal your online business much easier.
I know a few entrepreneurs who lost significant amounts of money because someone was able to steal their password and keep them out of their own website for a long period of time. When you haven’t paid a blog provider for their product, this results in slow customer service when you need help restoring your blog. Sad, but true.
Reason III: You are not free to arrange your blog as you see fit.
There are lots of examples we could go over here. From choosing where your ads are placed to having a low amount of Bandwidth to incorporating your branding elements (like colors, fonts, and even size and location of your logo.) Restrictions will apply in many different areas with a free blog service.
Paying for a blog service is ridiculously inexpensive and an investment you can quickly recoup through your business. (We are talking within a matter of hours or even minutes, depending on the type of business.) Even if you are blogging for fun instead of for-profit, you will have more fun blogging by making a monthly investment equal to a typical Starbucks visit ($5 to $7 per month on average.)

You Can’t Lose with this Process

You will succeed as a blogger if you are willing to follow these simple instructions step-by-step.
I’ve been able to see people quit jobs they despise, start their own business through blogging and reap the rewards over time. This is a great feeling.
My goal is to help even more people learn how to build their own blog this next year. So don’t hesitate to message me if you have a question. To be honest, my web host gives me a small commission each time I help someone set up their blog. That way, we both get a return on our time investment. But it doesn’t come out of your pocket. So don’t be shy.
I’d love to hear from you.
