Social Engineering

We'll discuss about some real life scenarios and real life frauds (technical frauds) .

There are situations which actually takes place with common man and how the crime/fraud takes place with them who have less/no knowledge regarding such cyber crimes/frauds.

We live in a digital world  where we use "E-mail" rather than postcards/letters etc.
Now , someday at sometime if you got a mail from your "favourite celebrity", "favourite sportsperson" or "from a grl" you always wanted to talk in college, lottery winning mail , you would feel very pleased and blessed enough to receive that e-mail. RIGHT ??

But one second , do you really think that such personalities would have got time to mail you on the whole earth with a population of BILLIONS or such lotteries are being only made for you.. !!

SO time for the truth , ACTUALLY  "you are being fooled  , by somewhat called "fake mailer" which are available for free online and anyone can send E-mail  from any mail -id to anyone.
There are many of such available online , such as -:
www.anonymailer.net
www.emkei.cz
www.deadfake.com
www.sendanonymousemail.com

These are the fake mailer used in criminal frauds and cyber crimes along with social engineering , the criminal gangs use the database to send fake mails regarding Lotteries and Job offers . The people got trap under such frauds by replying to such mails,clicking on MALICIOUS link (if any), downloading attachments (if any).

When one reply to lottrey mails , the victim(person) is asked for the processing fee (for eg, 5 lakhs) for accessing the lottery price (for eg, 2 crores).
Sometimes , they send such mails that people either reply to them or else download their attachments.



So never click on such malicious links and always see the path of e-mail by clicking on the "show original" option in mail (who has send it , from which address has it come and where your reply will reach).

Social engineering along with fake mail is good to prank friends but not to commit crimes , because in  our country cyber criminal is sentenced for "3 years ".

The power of Bluetooth 4.0

By -

Bluetooth, once trumpeted as the ultimate convenience, quickly proved a headache with plenty of pairing problems and inexplicable connection snafus. Bluetooth 4.0, the newest version of the technology, is about to change all that. The bad Bluetooth rep I personally use Bluetooth daily, and love it. My trusty   LG BHS-700s   works like a charm. For others, however, living with this technology can be frustrating. Often users are asked to enter annoying passwords before linking devices, and sudden reception drops or other software glitches make Bluetooth feel more painful than fun. Honestly I believe the bad old days of Bluetooth are behind us, especially with Bluetooth 4.0, AKA   Bluetooth Smart Ready , on the edge of mass adoption. Already available in the   Motorola Droid Razr   and   Droid Razr Maxx   smartphones plus Apple's   iPhone 4S , Bluetooth 4.0 is expected to hit more handsets and all manner of accessories this year. High-end handsets such as the Motorola Droid Razr

So you want to hack your 360. Have no idea where to start? This thread should give you a general idea on what you can do with your 360. Lets get started. First of all you'll need to determine the age of your console. This will give you a general idea of what hack you can apply. On the back of the 360 there is a sticker near the AV port (Phat*&Slim*) On that you'll find the MFR date as well as the Console Serial and Product ID. Determining the age of the 360 ​ ​ You'll need to write down your MFR date. This will roughly tell you what board you have in your 360. Xenon: 2005 - 2007 203w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd (14699 only) & R-JTAGged. Zephyr: 2007 - 2008 203w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd (Hard to achieve) & R-JTAGged. Opus: Only from RRoD Repairs from MS (rare revisions) 203/175w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd & R-JTAGged. Falcon: 2007 - 2009 175w power supply, can be JTAGged and

Wii Remote IR Camera Hack with Arduino Interface

By Anonymous -

Step 1: Extract the Wii IR camera You'll need a Wii remote or "Wiimote" to start with. Normally they are about $40, in the end that is not too bad for a pretty awesome sensor. Otherwise you can check out ebay or elsewhere for used or broken Wii remotes. You'll need to rip apart the case. It has some crazy three pronged screws. I didn't want to completely trash the case so I made a small tool to take it apart. Now you need to desolder the 8 pins and the 2 struts holding the camera on the board. I used some desoldering braid. It wicks the solder away and makes it easy to get the camera out. Be careful, don't break the camera! You might want to keep the rest of the parts. You might be able to scrap other parts. Also, If you decide later to use the Wiimote again, you could always put the camera back in. Step 2: Interface Circuitry We'll need a small circuit to interface the IR camera to the arduino. I got all m
