What have I downloaded?

Do you ever wanted to know if you could get harmed by any law for downloading illegally pirated movies apps or music?

In Fact it could be possible that you could get be pleased to charge for someone else!
Most ISP's out there use random IP Adresses (DHCP) out of an IP Pool for they residential customers. So if someone downloaded an pirated movie before you get to this IP Adress you could get harmed through this!
Well i know thats weird but you should have a look at this website:


YOUHAVEDOWNLOADED . COM shows what was downloaded with your IP (only torrent data is collected) but torrent data is the most popular way to pirate stuff!

So be aware and just think of this tiny fact...

In future i will post about correct anonymisation to get rid of such problems and not getting into harm for someone else who does illegal activity ;)

Have a nice Day folks!

Apply credit card, loans, bad credit, is it safe?


Apply credit card is risky in these days, low interest credit cards shouldnt be given, hackers were always aware of the benefits of the global credit cards suppliers as also the attractive cash back credit cards got into points to be a easy to use cash out service.

Credit card hacking, stealing, selling and frauding is around since ages, as i know its been around since credit cards offers are around. Loans are aspecially developed systems to enslave humans and why shouldnt human missuse this. Someone thought someone got used to it.

As the web presence creditcards.com presents the statistics for the last months most used payments and usements for credit cards.
Credit Card Rate Report

Updated: 06-30-2011
National Average 14.75%
Low Interest 10.73%
Balance Transfer 12.78%
Business 13.07%
Student 13.77%
Cash Back 13.90%
Reward 14.28%
Airline 14.31%
Instant Approval 15.99%
Bad Credit 24.96%

On bottom you can see BAD CREDIT is the main usement of credit cards. These are loans that are payed by fees and are so called throw away credit cards for single use or till the fee amount is reached. These prepayed credit cards opened a new door for cyber crime as they can be used and thrown away as also take place anonymously when only used prepayed. Like Prepayed cell phone cards where used to not get tracked along.
Last day the credit card supplier mastercard.com again got ddosed by the collective anonymouse cause they shut down again the donation account of the wistleblowing platform wikileaks powered by julian assange. In fact the Attack really doesnt damage this huge company - only a few hours customers werent able to get on their page caused by the massive ddos that was running. So long the attacks stopped all the way and the site is accessable again.

On line data storage solution dropbox code fails, logins messed!

The on line data storage data backup service DROPBOX got in serious security trouble this week.
on line data storage backup service
Dropbox op posted on their blog that a massive security hole because of trouble with dropbox codes occured - every user of the storage service was able to log in with any password in any account - the security of the storage service totally failed and let every user in and take a look at any data provided on the internet backup service.

For over 4 hours the error was present and the backup service provider claims that around 1% of users logged in in this time to their drop box account. So maybe there happened no violation or abuses.
everythings alright
In fact be care when uploading data any where to the net or any online storage provider! As long they are not encrypted your data can seriusly be harmed or abused!

Internet phone services skype , sources sold to russia!

The internet phone service skype, which is an voip service, not an business voip at all but a realiable cheap voip service for personal use.
voip service
 In fact phoning from one skype user to another is for free, as most internet phone services out there, best way of usage is via broadband, so call it broadband phone if you like to.

broadband voip services
 The russian new vedomosti and the press agency bloomberg are today talking about an cooperation between microsofts skype and the russian secret service FSB. If its real what they say, microsoft is willing to handle out parts of the source code to FSB, wouldnt be nice in any way... KGB reloaded!
voip kgb
So this VOIP service got compromitted! RIP, the code will be out all over soon i think.

Kino.to raid and busted, 13 People arrested!

Kino.to is dead for now! Accident happend lawyer needed!

Kino.to has today been defaced and the page has been replaced by the german criminal police!
More than 250 Police officers 20 Special forces for internet security and information raided the whole company.
Further many streamhosting pages got taken down as well, they didnt get raided by the police train accident, but many providers closed their web presence.

Police demands their work with:
To raise suspicion development of an criminal organisation to commercial handling of illegal or copyrighted material and in effect getting funds from this system. simply: copyright violation

in long study case, police found that kino.to hosts many streaming hosts by itself to keep the site running so they are directly  responsible for most of the content they hosted!

Graphic cards gpu technology breaks passwords faster than every cpu!

I got around the progtram IGHASHGPU  and rapidly found that graphic cards gpus shouldnt be underrated these days! 
ighashgpu

An AMD Radeon 5770 can crack an standard password with 5 characters in under one second, a normal cpu with about 3GHz would need to spend about 24 seconds on thsi operation.
Another password with about 6 characters uses an normal CPU about 1 and a half hour, while the GPU of the Radeon 5770 manages to crack this word in ~4 seconds.
With an passwort with 7 chars where one is an space, an normal CPU would need about 75 days for this operation, our GPU fucks the password up in about ~7 hours! 
multiple gpu


So in future if we think of an SLI moded Graphiccard with more power than this mid-range card we used here, passwords could be breaked really fast in no time, what took as about 50 years for now can be done i about 5 weeks or less depending on the GPU powers...


so long here is an crack report of multiple GPUS with IGHASHGPU:
for example, result for HD5770+HD4770+8600GT looks like:

Cisco announces filesharing technology will hit upwards till 2015!

Cisco announces filesahring and its traffic will double up till 2015.

Cisco announces a new study in technology around the internet every few years and thsi year the news tell us that file sahring will go straight upwards and double up till 2015.
Sharing grows in an big dimension, long story short this is what Ciscos Visual Networking Index told us.


Constructive Economy tries to set file sharing to an state of an bad view, it tries to promote it as something simple cruel bad, but they fail in any way :) sharing isnt that bad and its the main part of the internet.

In 2015 there should flow about 13.797 Petabyte around the globe for filesharing
and in 2010 it was around 5.000 Petabyte - this upgoing traffic is massive.

Mac Defender kills Apples Security!

The well known scareware mac defender that has been around the last few days, was to be killed by Mac OSX Security Update 2011-003 but the scareware developer team killed the security suite within 8 hours! Apples Security suite isn't able to track MAC Defender anymore and the app looks legit again.
A new race has began between Mac OSX Developers and the on the come scareware team. Windows users now can look at apple mac osx with an smile ;) the malware future has begun and there are more to come!

Super Injunction, twitter failed

Twitter just gave away the whole user information of an member that posted news in the UK that shouldnt have shown up.
The UK uses a system or let me call it an "take-down" law that gives the government the right to take down any News they dont want to appear or be spoken out. If the Super Junction is called no one is allowed to talk or write about the happening in free places or newspapers nor on the Internet eg. Twitter.

So now on Twitter always committed and said no our users are safe, today is a bad day for twitter.

Long story short - if you post on twitter you could be charged for any post you ve done, twitter wont keep your account information safe...

Sony got hacked again!

Two weeks after the big Playstation Network hack Sony s Greek music homepage got hacked!



Username, maill addys and real names got stolen from all customers that were registred on their site, this could be another big leak in sony s never ending hack story!
Another funny point here, someone has realeased the hole data that got stolen from sony s music page on pastebin.org

All data has been posted, but the hacker deleted the phone number and also the users passwords before posting, seems to be great statement to scare them but not kill them right now!



In fact its not possible to run a website 100% secure so it cant be hacked, but what sony does here is horrible, their security got broken in such simple ways that everyone can just wonder around why havent i tried to =P

Everyone that is registred on sonymusic.gr should change his password right now, dont know what the hacker is planning with the data that got leaked so long...

Austria launches new cyber crime force!

Johanna Mikl-Leitner austrias minister of the interior has launched the new project "fight cybercrime" 

The so called "Cyber-Crime-Competence-Center" consists of 300 new retrained police officers / it-experts.
They 300 users are going to get trained at an Academy launched by the BKA and will be trained specially on a point that makes me curious - ENCRYPTION and ANONYMIZING.

That sounds like they are going to establish a force that will detect people in austria who will use privacy and anonymous services... I dont know what i should think about this, isnt there enough crime out there than should be stopped? instead of some heads working on their privacy :) 


police academy head on!


Have nice day my beloved Followers

UPC Austria must block Kino.to

The Internet Service Provider UPC Austria, one of the fastest ISP's in Austria is forced to shut down DNS entries for kino.to so nobody from Austria whos ISP is UPC will be able to "find" stream movies anymore that were linked from Kino.to.


So long if you want ot watch Kino.to movies in the future, you should just look up wikipedia and check out what an Domain Name Service does and what it is - after you checked that just google the following:



After that your are on the safe side!

for everyone else who dont want to use this alternative, try to check out g-stream . in 

KEEP IT GOING FOLKS, have a nice day :)

Prey!

Hello guys, back after the long off-time of Blogger.com.

Today i read about an interesting open source software that could be interesting for everyone.
An interesting scenario took its place in New York/Canada

The SEO-Expert Sean Power was currently in Canada as somebody in Soho turned on his notebook what got stolen a few days ago.
So Sean is a user of the Powerfull Open-Source tool Prey.


Any mobile phone with open-source software running on could get in use of prey.


By the way, Sean got his notebook back, he ordered someone on twitter to get to the place his notebook was last spottet by prey. The police officers of New York dont mentioned to help him, cause he has not reported early enough that it got stolen.

Twitter could be real usefull in the future though as we see in this case  ;)

Main features of pray:

If you want to take a further look or maybe try it - get it here: prey project


Cheers and keep your hardware safe :)

Is Privacy Perfect?

Hey there! We live in strange times right now, about Censhorship also restrictions and deformations were met around the whole Planet Earth. In my Case im an Victim of the Upcoming VDS. In future my country Europe will save most Point to Point or even all connections from users to users over their isps, it's like the thing that is already donw with MobilePhone connections, @any Company youre in with your Mobile Phone (eg Orange) you can order a list of done Phonings - so they will get you an PDF with all your done Connections means:

  1. who you called
  2. when you called
  3. how long did it last
  4. where the call was taken from
Indeed Point 4 isnt strictly available everywhere and never for every one, but i don't like getting tracked and what they do right now is tracking.
I would say it's okay if a were a mountain climber anywhere up the Alps and can get lost from one day to another so i would appreciate tracking me so i can be found again...
But in my case my movement mostyl is mostly placed around and in my city, there are about 45 Mobile Phone trasnimmters and every i book into with my phone will know i was there. I dont like it - so i turn my Mobile phone when i go for a walk and not waiting for a call ;)

Now the Problem with internet connections i dont want them to be saved, i think my privacy will suffer from that, i also use a Wifi at my home, what if anyone hacks in uses it for illegal activities ?! they will get me for his fault! Hmpf i have to get rid of this and i found a very adorable useable full functionally solution for almost aevery country on this Planet!


http://perfect-privacy.com/index.html

This Company does the job the right way without getting too much provit out of it!
Only thing they want to server is Privacy, privacy available for everyone not only for the Big guys on out planet!

Have you ever thought if you buy a pre paid mobile phone with an pre paid sim and would only use it once and trhrow it away after use, no one could kepp track of you or even get any information, but for people as like i am this would be tooo expensive in any way, i have to keep my pre paid phone off to not get tracked and i only activate it a few days per month not too much activity and always from another place is best you could do!

Like using Perfect Privacy as your proxy, vpn, ipsec, ssh tunnel or anything else you would be glad they forward your traffic from mostly every of the following countries to any ip adress on the planet you like!
No censoship no logging!

This is a map of their current server lcoations, with every new user they get the servers would expand over the Planet

You can pay for your security really highly anonym! You can send Money over Postal tho this company it takes some time but keeps you 100% secure! Private! Mostyl Untrackable!

Great service maybe you wanna join ;)
