As i came across i wanted to introduce a friend, Internet-zugang.at.
Internet-Zugang has shown up as an good site for getting news about ISP in Austria so long and also to have an sort of gimmick planned in the near future :) It's really worth to check it out! Internet Zugang got the actual prizing of Internet Providers in Austria, this is mostly as much worth today as knowing your mobile phone bill!
Hpefully you will enjoy your stay there and be sure to come back again! Its a sure growing project! Internet-zugang.at
Today i will show you some SSH tricks that could be usefull! Well ssh is more powerfull than you thoght maybe - so check out the following little helpers to get your ssh life easier!
Have you ever tried to mount an filesystem securely over the world wide internetwork :) install the small tool SSHFS (apt-get install sshfs) You can now mount any remote filesystems DIR you have access to:
$ sshfs user@remote2:/home/user/documents /mnt
Send an Command directly via SSH without login in and have to log out again after execution: this command will simply power off an remote machine!
$ ssh user@remotehost sudo poweroff
If you have any long command you like to execute on an remote system you can also save it to any file as simple text and then run it remotly using:
$ ssh user@remotehost "`cat filename.txt`"
The ssh-copy-id command is not as well-known as it should be, which is a shame because it is a great time-saver. This nifty command copies your public key to a remote host in the correct format, and to the correct directory. It even has a safety check that won't let you copy a private key by mistake. Specify which key you want to copy, like this:
$ ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_rsa.pub user@remote
Use ssh-keygen to remove host keys from the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file to save some time. When the remote machine gets new SSH keys you'll get a warning, when you try to log in, that the key has changed. Using this is much faster than manually editing the file and counting down to the correct line to delete:
$ ssh-keygen -R remote-hostname
When you're at the mercy of hotel and coffee shop Internet, a nice secure SSH tunnel makes your online adventures safer. To make this work you need a server that you control to act as a central node for escaping from hotspot follies. I have a server set up at home to accept remote SSH logins, and then use an SSH tunnel to route traffic through it. This is useful for a lot of different tasks. For example I can use my normal email client to send email, instead of hassling with Web mail or changing SMTP server configuration, and all traffic between my laptop and home server is encrypted. First create the tunnel to your personal server:
"this command will open locally port 9999 to static connect to port 25 on your remote machine, though that port needs to be opened up there, you can now use your mail client or for sending mails (port 25 smtp) via your home pc without trouble of getting spyed just set your SMTP port in your client to port 9999!
Bypass untrusted networks the easy way, lets say you want to browse the web and you have restrictions in your actual network just forward your traffic over ssh:
$ ssh -D 9999 -C user@homeserver.com
"now set ip/hostname and port in your Internet Browser eg. Firefox and keep on browsing the web securely :)"
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!
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.
GVU webpresence is accidentially not reachable anymore, the reason is it got DDOSD obviously by fans of Kino.to cause the site got down a few hours after the message made it around the globe that 13 people where looked up in jail, including the operator of kino.to
404
The servers seem up now again but the DDOS remained the whole night until 8am in the morning, some statements are also readable around the net saying "We will be back" obviously posted by members of the platform kino.to.
ddos tux
by the way check out g-stream.in you would probably like the site if you where a kino.to fan.
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!
Yesterday a new sony hack came up, the company got hacked again and around 20.000 free music coupons and user data has been released on the web. Another massive leak and it seems that sony really doesnt care about security nor their users and payers...
Finally the Iphone 4 hardware got hacked and is now open for everyone.
Apple used an 256-Bit key to encrypt any data stored on the phone, GPS-Data, Usernames and passwords, phonebook entries, messages, etc... and all other related user data that is stored on the phone.
This new revealed hack now allows us to do a Backup of an apple iphone 4 and also decrypt this backup to get the data out of this solid box.
As they claim Russian company ElcomSoft has done this hack first and created an easy to use software for everyone. ElcomSoft
An sheet here shows what is possible with the light and the full edition of this software:
ElcomSoft offer this iOS 4 forensic toolkit to security and law enforcement agencies, but anyone can purchase the software to extract the encrypted data on a device.
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...

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 :)
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
Newest rumours around the chinese press release that there will be an fusion between Microsoft s bing and Goldman Sachs (Asia) L.L.C., Credit Suisse First Boston s baidu!
This would look like this:
The Problem that comes with this new message, google will be cut off the Asian / Chinese market if this fusion will be a good coorporation. The big thing that comes up here, censorship -> google was censored by chinese government a few times in the past, so in future "baiding" will be an strong powerfull ... censored ... Meta Crawler ;)
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
My Xbox 360 an very old Model of it, i bought it in July 2006, it was the first Model with an Heat Pipe and also the new Hitachi DVD Drive, this version doesnt tend to get overheated and destroy itself :D so it runs and runs and runs till now.
The only Problem im facing right now is, my console needs around 15 Minutes to get warm before i can play any game. This means i insert an DVD and then i sit and press the A-Button on my wireless controller to let the drive eject and close again, yeah around 50 Times then it starts Reading the DVD and voila game is up and running.
After this treatment every game runs within the first 3 Tries the whole day, till i let my XBOX cool down around an hour or so.
Yesterday i thought PORTAL II is available for 360 and i thought, i must have it! Go and Buy!
But the Problem, Sunday no store got opened for me, so a called a friend of mine and i knew he bought it alredy ;) so i started over to him and asked if i can borrow the game.
Answer was no, cause he told me i never take care of this game and he newly bought it and dont want it to get wasted to fast by a person like mine. Uhm alright i said. Lets ->
So i flushed out of my pants an fresh Verbatim Dual DVD Layer brute and told hmi okay let me do a Backup and i take both games with me at home but i only will play the backup so your game will not be harmed!
about an hour later i got a fresh Backup and an Original of Portal II
Back home i tried to play the Backup - but then - my XBOX told me DVD Video ready to play.
I clicked Play a thousand times but it wasnt able to play that game, so i backed the original Up again and again and an fourth time again. And i wasnt able to figure out why it wouldnt work...
I backup the game using IMGBURN in Windows, but no Luck.
I Used the Force of Luke with Linux but nothing else happened.
My last try was an APPLE Mac with OSX 10.3, no way to get an DUAL LAYER BREAK at the Point given for XBOX 360 games, so an OSX user would never have the chance to burn an 360 game in any way. I loughed myself a bit in this sad situation when the apple users began to talk about VDPC with WIN and DARWIN :)
Long Story short.
I lastly figured out why the game would not work on my console... So i have to tell you if you got the same Problem... Download this file here Activate_iso.rar and burn it like you would burn any game for Microsoft X360 i prefered IMG BURN on windows, cause there are some Special settings that should be done ...
After burning this 250 MB Image to an dual layer dvd you can insert it into your Xbox 360 and let it loud about 1 Minute after that put your Backupped game into your DVD Drive and voila :D it would load the game, no need of burning it 4 or 5 times ;)
use this settings for IMGBURN:
if you didnt got it right now and need further infos, i please you continue reading here -> WELL DONE
very well written article and some additional infos more than are written here, for trouble shooting you can also ask.
So i bought mysel an Nokia N900 about an year ago :)
I think it's the best phone on this Planet! It barely never died und the Software Repository for it is great and free for all, no buying anywhere, cause it is an 100% open source Software running on this Piece of fantastic Technique!
Here just take a look at this!
HAH an too one of the greatest videos ever be done for an Phone :) nice try from Nokia!
Now to hack a and free an Play Station 3 from Sony entertainment system you obnly have to install some Open source apps on your Phone!
Disclaimers:
- Use at your own risk. (Although I can't think of anything bad that might happen)
- No Piracy tolerated. This should be used to Backup your precious bought games only.
- It is unknown what short term or long term effects this will have on online play, if at all.
This guide covers the matter in extensive detail. So even if you’ve never ventured with your N900 before, you’ll still be able to follow.
This guide will cause Pro users to bleed from their eyes
This guide will cover Jailbreaking your PS3 with the N900 using PSFreedom and installing and running the PSJailbreak Backup Manager(Working!!).
PSFreedom WAS NOT MADE BY ME.
Give thanks to the Maker KaKaRoto: kakaroto.homelinux.net
Hardware you will need:
N900 (Should now work on Power and Regular Kernel)
PS3 with firmware 3.41 (I haven't tested on older)
PSFreedom Application Method - GUI:
Enable Extras-Devel Repository on your N900:
Application manager –> Application catalogs –> New
Catalog name: Maemo Extras-devel
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
Distribution: fremantle
Components: free non-free
Let it update the catalogues. Then choose Download and find PSFreedom. Install it.
Make sure your N900 is connected to same WiFi as your PC.
Identify your N900s IP address . (You can find a nice widget for this HERE )
Launch WinSCP:
Hostname: IP of the N900 (Example: 192.168.1.5)
Port: 22
Click login.
You’ll be promted for username and password. The username is root and the password is what you’ve entered earlier.
WinSCP will take you to the browsing panes.
Left Pane is your PC. Right Pane is your N900.
Identify which Kernel do you have on your N900:
In N900 Terminal Type:
Code:
uname -r
If it says something with "power" in it. It's Power.
2.6.28-omap1 is Regular
Back to WinSCP:
Browse to and Copy (F5) the 3 PSFreedom files from your PC to your N900s /root folder
(You will get no output for these commands)
Now run the script:
Code:
./psfreedom-enable.sh
(Nothing should happen, if you get an error: unable to insert “-”, you are running power kernel, you need to be running stock kernel or use the Power Kernel Driver) Using PSFreedom on Your PS3:
Now. Unplug your ps3 from Power.
Connect then N900.
Plug back your PS3s power.
Click the Power button then quickly click and hold the Eject button (for maybe 7 seconds, if you hear 1 beep, let go).
How do you know you did it fast enough?
You won’t hear 2 beeps when you first hit the eject button. I prefer using both my hands
Nothing will seem to be happening. That’s fine. The n900 will show the Storage or PC Suite window. Then a warning about insufficient power.
How do you know it worked?
On the ps3, there should be a new option, under Game called: Install Packages.
Backup Manager:
You can get the Original Backup Manager from here: http://www.pandawillforum.com/redire...&goto=lastpost
There is also a "Stealth" Backup Manager if you'd like to Try. (Although its effectiveness is questionable) (Read about it Here): http://www.ps3-hacks.com/file/86
Put the manager.pkg into the root of a separate storage media (USB Drive or HDD) other than N900. Plug that USB in the PS3. After that, you will see the package manager under *install packages files* on your PS3. Choose to install it.
Launch the Backup Manager which is now under Game. Preferably with a game inside your PS3
Note: You have to have an original game (Any) inserted to load a backup at all times.
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:
who you called
when you called
how long did it last
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!
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!
