Birthday Sayings To A Daughter

Mobile Hacking the Fonera

How many of you know, Fon is a project that is proposed as objective to share the wireless connection between your users so that each user can count on Fon wireless coverage continues to grow.

Until a year ago it was possible to join the project Fon adapting most of the existing wireless router, and at present has been made a further step, the production and sale (in some cases free donation) of special mini router, said just Fonera.

La Fonera was born but as a product sight unseen. Although its firmware is open source, it is not allowed to use a Fonera with firmware other than the original, unless ... not discover any trick that allows us to bypass the protections imposed by Fon.

The purpose of this guide is just to enable those who have a Fonera to use it for any purpose other than the original.

You can find the complete howto on the wiki PtLUG .

Update (18/04/2007): just in queso hours the server hosting the website PtLUG are the subject of an exceptional maintenance, so driving is not currently available. We will update as soon as available again. 18:00 - servers seem to be back operating!

SPIM for Nokia 770/800: MIPS processor simulator

SPIM is a simulator of the MIPS processor that allows you to run assembly code written for MIPS processors on a standard PC.

SPIM was available until now "only" for Windows, Linux and Mac

Whether you need for fun, I ported this simulator for the Nokia 770/800 DEVICES.

You can download it from ' I set up a special page.

Newfoundland X St Bernard Cross

Skype reads your BIOS and motherboard serial

you can 'trust a closed source software?

The answer is obviously no and Skype is yet another demonstration living.

What if they do this utilizzatissimo VOIP telephony program information that are written in my BIOS? And 'what is this blogger also asked (from which I took the news).

As we realized this thing? Running Skype on Windows 64-bit you get an error similar to this:

The program or feature "\\? \\ C: \\ Documents and Settings \\ Myria \\ Local Settings \\ Temp \\ 12 \\ 1.com" can not start or Incompatibility with to run two 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available.

disassembling the executable 1.com we could go back to what he did that code. In summary takes care of reading the BIOS information (including the serial motherboard) and send the information to Skype.

Thanks to a careless programmers of Skype this thing was discovered. If they were more 'experts and they knew that NTVDM (a layer that allows programs to run on Windows DOS/16bit 32bit in a transparent manner) was not implemented on Windows 64bit, this thing probably would never have emerged (or at at least not so easily).
Initially, some have argued that there may be a method to detect the type of processor and then decide if a PC is able or not to perform a certain statement (to avoid errors of execution). Too bad that there are methods much more 'portable to carry out this task and that the operating system provides all the necessary information without going to need to read data directly from the BIOS.

then what is this data? We'll see if the company wants in the coming days to clarify its position on this discovery.

N800: now it turns out even the FM radio!

Nokia devices do not stop more 'to surprise us. It 's the case of the Nokia N800 , which until a few days ago he managed to keep secret an FM receiver.

seems to have noticed a developer of Maemo (operating system behind Nokia 770/800) in a arrived in the mail mailing list for development.

The FM chip in question appears to be a TEA5761 FM-Radio, and you can check eseguento this command as root:

cat / sys/devices/platform/i2c_omap.2/i2c-0/0-0010 / name

E 'already have an application that allows you to use the integrated FM radio and can be downloaded from this link .
