Another breakthru...


Thanks to the mighty Huawei E5830
(a portable 528mhz linux wifi/3g router)
I can finally do some creative and transparent hacking.
In the image above you see a simple
javascript application that displays
a realtime quote.
This should not suprise you but there's a catch:
my iPod is connected via wifi to the e5830,
inside the e5830 there is a british simcard with
ZERO CREDIT :D

And if you are wondering: NO, I did not do anything illegal
and I didn't hack their networks.

More to come!
Stay tuned!

Namaste,
Zibri

Note:
With a different method I can do the same on any italian provider too.
No credit required :)

  1. How did you unlock it? I know DC-unlocker will do it for 15 Euros. Do you have an app that will unlock it for free?

    I'm also very curious as to what you've done here! :)

    Thanks,
    Jamie.

  2. Unlocking the E5830 is a different story.
    I am getting a locked one this week to investigate but it should be easy enough.

    And no, I don't have any app.

  3. Interesting. This IP address is related to their transparent proxy?

    Anyway, I'm more interested to open up the telnet port of the E5830 - any news on this? ;-)

    There is no problem to open the telnet port :)
    Very easy indeed :)

  6. Interesting, I've done the same by modifying proxy settings on the iPhone and using a '3' (Three) sim card with no credit on the device i can still surf any pages,, also using the Huawei mobile broadband dongles for 1 year with a UK 3 sim card, no credit (usually it costs £10 for 1gb usage. initially all you had to do was change proxy settings to three homepage in browser DNS stays same, and APN changes- it was that simple.... but now this is not working after someone published this method on the internet.., after a bit more experimentation found another way

    Also the open wifi Networks, BT Openzone + BT FON that charge £3 for 30 minutes usage can easily be accessed any page without paying- would be interesting to find out a bit more info on what your doing here

    Thank you

TP-LINK Configuration file encrypt and decrypt.

Here we go! TP-Link is another company that thinks that security by obscurity could ever work. If you "backup" the configuration from most TP-Link routers, you will get a .BIN file which is "encrypted". Use this utility below, to decrypt it (so you can edit it) and encrypt it again. Have fun.

Your own CORS ANYWHERE proxy on CLOUDFLARE

Hello again! Many of you probably hate as I do CORS because it hinders the very nature of internet, which is SHARING. There are some services to circumvent this commercial  restriction, one of these is the famous "cors anywhere". So yesterday I decided to make my own and allow you to make your own in only 2 minutes. To do so you just need a cloudflare account (can be set up in 1 minute). The you can upload my worker on it and have your personal very fast cors proxy! So, enough talk, just head to:  https://github.com/Zibri/cloudflare-cors-anywhere The is also a demo online at: https://test.cors.workers.dev Enjoy! Zibri

Powerline Ethernet fun and secrets.

Many 200 Mb/s powerline adapters nowadays are based on the INTELLON 6300 chipset. Despite what can be thought looking at them, they are all using the same hardware and firmwares. I heard many people with Netgear XAV101 or Linksys PLK 200 or PLE 200 having problems after firmware updates and many other people with other brands having much more problems because of lack of support or configuration/upgrade utilities. So let me explain a few things I learnt studying them. Many of 200 Mb/s powerline ethernet adapters follow the "HomePlug AV" standard. (85 Mb adapters use HomePlug 1.0 standard which is completely different). This standard uses ethernet broadcast packets using the HomePlug AV protocol. The interesting thing is that their firmware is made of two different parts: a .PIB file (Parameter Information Block) and a .NVM file (the code itself). In the P.I.B. there are many interesting things: The branding (mac address, device name, etc) and the tone map. I test...
