WiFi Door Opener
We have seen our fair share of door opening hacks. Remember the secret knock door lock? That was pretty awesome, but what if I tell you that you can unlock your door from any wifi device? The guys over at Sunlight Labs have done just that. By using a WRT54GL and some creative hacking that [...]

Hack A Master Lock
We all remember those Masterlock pad locks we had in high school. Some of us even remember trying to figure out how to get the combination for them. Some people would try everything from listening carefully to clicks right to pulling hard on it while spinning the tumbler hoping to feel a click. Now mathematically [...]
Make Your Padlock Shim-Proff

Thanko’s USB Padlock

Outside – MMORPG of the year
Why spend the monthly charges on those expensive MMORPGs when you have “Oustide” which is free and possibly the MMORPG of the year. All the features are so true too. Fully PvP rawr!

Scripting is baaaad
So, on Monday I reported on why you shouldn’t allow Flash on your network with the article: Nmap 127.0.0.1: Flash Style . Kind of hinting toward how a malicious site could scan your internal network without triggering your firewall, IPS/IDS, or sometimes even a host based firewall/ips. Today, I have a new threat that is [...]
