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 :)

This is not a photoshop work. Just a proof of concept. The image comes from my unmodified iPod Touch. More to come. Stay tuned. Namaste :) Zibri

Do you want to laugh out loud?! Go to YouTube and enable subtitles to this iPad video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-YAQ1wfNqc Here is a full transcription: it is true win-win something it's seats your ability to understand how it works it's it it becomes magical and and that's exactly what the electorate hope to see you have some simpson since finances possibly said I call it was a and we've learned so much from and it helps so many basic technology of the applications the baltic countries are going to face it was truly incredible we wanted to take over I'm to hold a possible the new experience experience it's going to change it's the way we can things we do every day they support it he's pretty much too single piece of mao as well and that's it that isn't even a single currency there's no obvious he's in the right way wrong way of home I think to change myself should the product it treats me we looked at the device undecided to r...

Apple know's your Wifi SSID and where it's located. You may say, no news here because I authorized it in my iPhone. Yes, ok.. but did you authorize Apple to know MINE too? Ok.. you're confused.. I'll explain: every time you use google maps on your iPhone or any other application which uses the location service, you are sending Apple your GPS position along with  the Wifi mac adresses of the networks (access points) your phone sees. So, let's say, you didn't authorize Apple to know where you are but someone else has. Now picture that someone else passing by near your house. As soon as that someone uses the location service, Apple will know the position of your wifi access point. I wonder how this passed totally under the radar of "privacy aware" organizations. It won't be long till someone will exploit this and the pandora box will be opened. A proof: one of my access points mac addresses is in Apple database. I don't have a 3G or 3Gs iPhone...

Enough said. Namaste, Zibri.

Hello again! As you can see from the image above I coded a simple extension for Chrome. After installing the extension from HERE you will have more fun and freedom on youtube. I know there are many extensions and script around, but, believe it or not, this extension is made of only 7 lines of javascript (for now). It also grabs the download URL in a very different way. As of now, this script won't work if you enabled the "feather" option on youtube, but I keep updating the extension, so it will. Feel free to leave me a feedback and any suggestion. Have fun, Zibri

Many of you are surely familiar with the image above, but if you inspect the image carefully you will notice something 'weird'... Yep! No tricks. This image is 960x544 (without the footer with the buttons). How did that happen?! :) Well this "TomTom" is running natively under windows. I know, there's no such a thing. And NO, it's not windows emulating something that is running tomtom! Thrilled? Many people think that the application TomTomHOME connects to the device and "somehow" runs the software in there... Wrong. TTHome uses a DLL which is, as a matter of fact, the FULL TomTom navcore application compiled for windows and mac! So, I modified the TTHome application to get the coordinates from a GPS! As simple as that! All that is needed is the tomtom application and your original tomtom SD card containing maps and firmware (which is checked but not used). The image above is a cropped screenshot of my PC with just my sdcard in my cardreader. Obviousl...
