Velvet Undergrounds "Coyote"

dandies.org — 2010-08-03T21:27:15+02:00

Coyote by walt74

I love The Velvet Underground. Never heard of this song.

Coyote goes to the top of the hill
Doin’ the things the coyote’s will
Staring at the sky, at the moon
You know he starts to howl

Coyote goes to the mountain top
Looks over down at the river, says "what a drop"
No tame dogs is gonna take my born

Coyote at the top of the hill
Doin’ the things the coyote’s will
You gotta cast the first stone
Cast the first stone

Jackal goes to the top of the hill
Doin’ the things that jackal’s will
Staring at the moon
You know he starts to howl

Wild dog up on mountain top
Blood in his jaws, the bone, he drops
No tame dogs is ever
Ever gonna take my bone

Jackal up on the top of the hill
Doin’ the things that jackal’s will
Cast the first stone
Cast the first stone

Coyote on top of the hill
Ooohhh, doin’ the things the coyote’s will
Staring at the sky, looks at the moon
He starts to howl

Coyote up on the mountain top
Blood in his jaws, the bone, he drops
Says no tame dogs is ever
Ever gonna take this bone

Coyote up on the mountain top
Says "what a drop"
You gotta cast the first stone
Cast the first stone
Cast the first stone
You gotta cast the first stone

The two activists Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonano fake Web sites from organization they dislike to impersonate representatives. With this trick they are mistakenly invited as speakers for lectures where they present the audience their interpretation on the issue. You can see their latest work in the film The Yes Men Fix the World. A special P2P version is available for download via BitTorrent.

Meme

dandies.org — 2010-07-04T20:30:21+02:00

"...for us hacking is not only computer hacking but it's much more."
Phrack 64 - The projection of consciousness

Richard Dawkins, a British scientist, coined the word "meme" as cultural analogue to genes. Dawkins defined the meme as a unit of cultural transmission like melodies, fashions and learned skills from one mind to another. Memes are spread by the behaviors that they generate in their hosts, one might say by imitation. It can also be transmitted from one to another through a copy recorded in an inanimate source, such as a book.

For example, a certain culture stands out with a special method or design of tool-making. It`s a fact that some cultures have developed better tools than others. The meme's function directly affects the presence of the design in future generations. In times where you can share thoughts and files through the internet everyone could benefit from your developments. The term Internet-Meme has already been used as a reference to the concept of memes.

Another interesting discovery that could stand in connection to sharing information was recognized by Gary Schwartz. He claims that he has 70 cases where he believes transplant recipients have inherited the traits of their donors. There is a case where a little girl who never was in music suddenly ruled the piano after a heart transplantation. It turned out that the donor organ was from a pianist. In relation to that there is maybe some truth in adopting the power of an animal by eating certain parts of it.

In the cyberpunk anime Ghost in the Shell a mind can be copied and the body replaced with a synthetic form. So the boundary between human and machine is getting ambiguous. This topic is discussed by the english philosopher Gilbert Ryle and in the essay "The Ghost in the Machine" by Arthur Koestler.

Always practice yourself to be an open minded.

iPhone telekinesis

dandies.org — 2010-06-29T23:44:43+02:00

Quick proof of concept. Remotely manage your Mac through your iPhone.

1. Download and install iPhone Remote.

2. Launch iPhone Remote.

3. Setup Port Forwarding on your Router´s Firewall.

Open TCP 5010 and 5012 to your Mac`s IP.

4. Get a FreeDNS account (my DNS-Service of choice).

5. Use a Dynamic DNS Client to update your DNS Records. I prefer to make my own script to update the IP-Address.

import urllib2

def main():
url = "http://freedns.afraid.org/dynamic/update.php?FREEDNSID12345"
user_agent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT)"
headers = { "User-Agent" : user_agent }

req = urllib2.Request(url, None, headers)
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)
print response.read()

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

dnsupdate.py

6. Edit your crontab to launch the script automatically on a scheduled time (e.g. 12:00 and 24:00).

Open Terminal.app

foo$ crontab -e

0 12,0 * * * python /Users/foo/dnsupdate.py > ~/dnsupdate_log.txt

DONE.

7. Open Safari and go to: https://asdf.mooo.com:5010 (Streaming movies via 3G works pretty good!)

Now let`s enhance our remote management capabilities with a simple python script!

8. Email-Bot. Send an email to your Mac containing a command it should execute.

#import getpass
import poplib
import subprocess

def main():

M = poplib.POP3_SSL("pop.gmail.com")
#M.user(raw_input("Username: "))
#M.pass_(getpass.getpass("Password: "))
M.user("foo@gmail.com")
M.pass_("foobar")
numMessages = len(M.list()[1])
for i in M.retr(numMessages)[1]:
if i == "Subject: MAILBOT":
subprocess.call(M.retr(numMessages)[1][-1], shell=True)

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

mailbot.py

9. Check your mail account every 30min.

foo$ crontab -e

30 * * * * python /Users/foo/mailbot.py > ~/mailbot_log.txt

10. Tell mailbot.py to start iPhone Remote.

Subject: MAILBOT

E-Mail content: open "/Applications/iPhone Remote.app"

I did this really quick and just for fun. There are many ways to get useful remote management (use OpenWRT if you want to get creative!). If you have any questions, ideas or improvements please let me know.

Decompression Bombs

dandies.org — 2010-05-01T23:51:11+02:00

A few days ago I read an article about some guys who were hired to get an internet surveillance system in the middle east to work. To test the system they tried to download a zip-bomb from a server in Europe. The check causes a crash of the internet in the whole district. It seamed that every DSL-District had their own Proxy to monitor internet communications. The server tried to unpack the file and crashed.

Here is a zip bomb they could have used.
42.zip (http://www.unforgettable.dk)

By accident I came a cross the post "Zip Files All The Way Down" which describes another way zip-bombs can be created. They are called self-reproducing zip files. It loops back onto itself.
r.zip r.tar.gz

Seams to me that this technique isn`t dead yet. Today most Anti-Virus Engines are protected against this type of attack but even now some systems get knocked down.

python - howto create a hidden executable

dandies.org — 2010-03-13T15:23:28+01:00

Goals:

Compile a python script to a single executable
Hide the console window
Execute hidden shell commands

1. subprocess.call() - execute a system command. Don`t use os.system()!

outofsight.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import subprocess

if __name__ == '__main__':
subprocess.call("md C:\\asdf", shell=True)

2. windows=[] - suppress opening the console window.

setup.py

from distutils.core import setupimport py2exesetup(windows=["outofsight.py"],zipfile=None)

2. --bundle - build a single executable.

buildexe.bat

python setup.py py2exe --bundle 1

Democracy under corporate control

dandies.org — 2010-01-24T16:27:51+01:00

The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the government may not ban political spending by corporations in candidate elections. With the argument that the 5-to-4 decision was a vindication of the First Amendment’s most basic free speech principle, everything they want is control and ironically it is now legal to accumulate the power to control.

Allowing corporate money to flood the political marketplace would corrupt democracy and lead us to the dark future of your favorite cyberpunk movies. Is it really that bad? I don`t know. Maybe, maybe not. Keep thinking critically and your spirit alive.

Brothers and Sisters,
We must confront ourselves.
We know that all men and women are created good.

We must understand why you have gone bad. You can not play checkers with your life, jumpin' around like an 'ol whirl wind.

Wrapping your dishes and plates and then unpacking them and placing them back on the shelf.

This is not the way Jehova One has designed you to act.

Unless.. you are willing to admit, that you are a normal, a pink boy, a ninny, a twit.

Only then can you decide where your path shall lead you. We know in head, that we are all created good by Jehova One.

Some of you got such bad luck sometimes in your life, you couldn't hang yourself with your own neck tie.

This is when you should look to Bob.

When you look to Jehova One, and say "Bob, come into my life" and you shall see, one set of footprints in the sand.

And that is when you will know, that Bob has charged you $5.99 to carry you to the nearest taxi.

Praise Bob in his divine ways.

You got to know, that life is like a vanishing twin. A baby inside of a twin inside of a woman's belly.

That's how confusin' this wiggly world can be. You got to raise up above this wiggly world and grab the hand of Bob!

Praise him and all that flows through Bob!

The Big Takeover

dandies.org — 2009-05-13T22:00:09+02:00

Cryptohippie has published a report on the situation of mass surveillance in 52 countries. They include 17 factors with regard to how close they are already to an electronic police state. The results are explained in a map (yes, with some nice colors!) displaying their rankings.

As a read the report a song popped up in my mind. It`s from the Bad Brains called “Big Takeover”.

“No one dared to show for that shower, when nobody turned out to be clean, was not even touched by the water, just another Nazi scheme.

Yeah, The Big Takeover yeah-ah-, My, big Takeover yeahh,yeahhh.

All throughout this so-called nation, prepare yourself for the final quest. This world is doomed with its own integration, just another Nazi test!

Yeah, The Big Takeover yeah-ah-, My, the big Takeover yeahh-yeah-yeahhh.

So understand me when I say, there's no love for this U.S.A. This world is doomed with it's own integration, Just another nazi test.

Yeah, The Big Takeover yeah-ah-, My Big Takeover yeahh,yeah-yeah.”

Cryptohippie - Report

regwalker.py

dandies.org — 2009-04-17T15:08:31+02:00

regwalker is a python script for Windows to walk the registry on a specified key und look for a subkey that matches a string. If a subkey is found return the value of the defined entry name.

I wrote it because Inno Setup allows multiple applications to be installed to the same directory. When that happens, the first application's uninstaller is named unins000.exe, the second application's uninstaller is named unins001.exe, and so on. If you want to use a script to uninstall a application you can use regwalker to fetch the current UninstallString in the registry.

Usage:

regwalker.py

Example:

regwalker.py HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall adobe UninstallString

This will return the UninstallStrings of every installed Adobe Product.

Requirements:

Windows Platform (tested on Windows XP SP3)
python (tested on python 2.6.1)

Building a singe executable:

1. Install py2exe

2. Create a setup.py:

from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe
setup(console=["regwalker.py"],zipfile=None)

3. Build your executeable:

python setup.py py2exe --bundle 1

For more information on building an executable read the py2exe Tutorial.

Urban Hacking

Yeah! That`s what I`m talking about!

Some hackers turned a building into a big urban space invaders game. Watch the clip:

Now show us how you did it, so we can demonstrate these guys at the ISS (International Space Station) some Ping-Pong with the Planet! You guys are totally awesome! I love it!

hackthiszine #6

dandies.org — 2009-01-16T22:25:02+01:00

Good e-zine`s are getting rare nowadays and there is a lot of time to pass between the next Phrack release. To keep it short (as I always do)
I want to recommend you reading HackThisZine. It covers many topics related to activism and technology. The latest issue is #6 which was released on 08/19/2008, I know this isn`t brand new but this should not always be the main reason of blogging.

Sometimes I try to keep up with this fast spreading, fast forgotten meaningless news but mostly I`m to lazy to copy & past all of this shit, there are more important things in live I want to spend my time with. I feel a little bit sorry and want to apologize of being so damn slow. :) I hope I can provide you quality instead of fast food news. Now, back to the zine.

First Recorded Usage of "Hacker"

dandies.org — 2008-10-18T20:11:58+02:00

1963 _The Tech_ (MIT student newspaper), published in 1963, used the first known recored of the word “hacker” in connection with computers.

Impressing this is over four decades ago! Hard to believe what consequences such a publication has. What I found very interesting is the fact that “hacker” is also related to black-hats since this article. At the moment we know that the word “hacker” is extremely ambiguous. But that`s not bad. I also have my own interpretation of the word, a very positive one, which is worth to aspire.

Cybertek Zine

dandies.org — 2008-07-25T17:37:32+02:00

Once again, the Doktor made me call attention to a Cyberpunk-Zine called: Cybertek. You think the end of the world is near? Maybe you are right! Then this zine is exactly right for you. It covers various stuff about hacking, phreaking, plenty tech tipps, survival techniques...etc. Everything you need to know to dare this cruel new world. I was really impressed about the fact that it`s actually active scine 1990! Great style, that`s what I call dandy. So who claims that the underground is dead? The heart is still beating.
