Q: Help in Hacking a site

Hello my name is LuckyAli. Can you guys Hack this site so that I can a have premium account for free. Here is the link to be hacked, Thanks you Guys!You are the Best!:) Regards, .::LuckyAli::.

Also, FYI 16400 DPI is completely insane.

@RоryMcCune I totally get what you're saying. In fact, this is to help demonstrate that another tool's network-based fingerprinting is faulty. I wanna be able to point and say, "this is why Nmap says it's X and not Y".

Otherwise, yeah. Without actual access to the system, the most you can usually get reliably by fingerprinting is whether it's Windows/Mac/Linux/Other. And you can't even count on that 100%.

@MarkBuffalo yep

Mark Buffalo

@schroeder I'm almost done with my Q&A for deobfuscation

I just woke up and decided to go at it

right now I'm working on examples, then I'll ask the question and answer it, but I won't accept it. that'll give others a chance to help out too

I think you'll like it

schroeder

@MarkBuffalo sounds like a good plan

Mark Buffalo

07:02

@schroeder Still awake?

schroeder

@MarkBuffalo barely

Mark Buffalo

I'm trying to think of a good way to ask the question in the most generic way

thoughts?

I was thinking of something along the lines of "I think I've been hacked. How can I deobfuscate this malicious PHP code?"

schroeder

how about, "I found unknown PHP on my server. How do I de-obfuscate the code?"

Mark Buffalo

And the content of the question so it doesn't get closed?

> We seem to be getting a lot of noise regarding hacked PHP. Is there a one-size fits most scenario for de-obfuscating malicious PHP?

@ManishArora - the question still appears to be nothing about security

You are asking how cell networks handle fallback from 3G to 2G

off topic here

@AviD I don't understand why you linked that to the thing

oh right, I get it

I still need coffee

Rory Alsop

so now I'm bringing it up, bringing further attention to it

Manish Arora

@RoryAlsop fall back to less secure technology is not a security issue ?

kalina

and srsface I hate all of you don't communicate with me again until I've had coffee

AviD

09:07

@kalina heh no, just hit you up on the first comment of yours I saw

this is me being lazy, not secretly intelligent

Rory Alsop

@ManishArora your question is nothing to do with security. There may well be security issues with going from 3G to 2G, but that is not what your question is asking

kalina

that's... disappointing

I obviously over estimated you by many orders of magnitude

AviD

@kalina ooh I should go get me coffee. I have a fresh pack of Panama Palmyra - my favorite!

@kalina heh didnt know that was possible

Rory Alsop

09:15

@ManishArora I think if you want a security answer you'll need to dramatically re-word the question. As it stands it is purely a simple cellular network question - best answered somewhere focuses on that sort of thing.

Maybe Network Engineering, maybe SU or SO?

AviD

> a nice application of @Simon and superposition queries

I have no idea what that means but I am hilariously intrigued.

Rory Alsop

Lol

Matthew

@RoryAlsop Is this the question I rewrote completely?

Rоry McCune

@AviD "Simon's algorithm (the simplest quantum period finding algorithm)" d'ya think that's a pun on "Simple Simon" by any chance

AviD

hehe

Rory Alsop

09:17

@Matthew I think so, before it was then edited again to add in android and iPhone numbers

AviD

@RоryMcCune here's @Simon's simplest quantum period finding algorithm: Just look at the end of the sentence!

Rоry McCune

@AviD ah no wait it's a quantum period so it may not exist when you look at it...

AviD

@RоryMcCune well like at the prevoius sentence it was an exclamation point

M'vy

inb4 "you're a quantum period"

Matthew

@RoryAlsop Not sure that adds anything useful. Maybe it could go to "Do any 3G phones drop to 2G connections when the 2G signal is stronger, and if so, can this be used to reduce the encryption level used for calls and texts?"

AviD

09:20

@RоryMcCune I also wanna say something about "superposition" and @Simon's mom, but that's too quantum.

kalina

I wonder what a quantum period would feel like

Rory Alsop

@Matthew But we know the providers prioritise 2G over 3G, so that voice is always possible, so with a strong 2G signal of course phones will have weaker encryption level

@kalina weird. Not really there. In a tiny point, but all spread out

M'vy

@kalina ugh

Arperum

@MarkBuffalo The links to CMS checklists are not the ones you want I think. (Or I'm significantly more dumb than I knew)

Matthew

@RoryAlsop It's possible that not everyone knows that, and it's at least answerable

Rory Alsop

09:24

But question 1 - will it drop to 2G - is not security. And question 2 - is 2G weaker than 3G - is a simple 'yes'

kalina

@Matthew looks like a list question

Matthew

@RoryAlsop Hmm, suppose so.

kalina

See security.stackexchange.com/questions/115440/…

@M'vy - yes...if you are a moderator :-)

would you like me to do that for the one you linked?

Oh, wait

Do you mean add a link to this chat room?

That is easy - simply use [chat]

M'vy

no, create dedicated room I guess is better ? what do you think ?

Rory Alsop

Or do you mean the new chat room specific to that one? Only mods can do that

Or the system can auto generate if you pass thresholds

I'll migrate to dedicated chat room for you on that one

@MarkBuffalo momentum slows down for everybody if you don't maintain it

but it's now slowing to the point where I occasionally have days with no upvotes

Nice

by November time it will have basically stopped and I'll be back at my properly passive level of 1-5 upvotes per week and then Deus Ex + Mass Effect will make up for it

PURPOUSES?

you introduced a spelling mistake in your edit?

you left bad grammar in the post?!

YOU ADDED MORE BAD GRAMMAR?!

Lighty

@kalina only the spelling mistake ^^;

that's what peer reviewing is for :x

kalina

no peer reviewing is to review high quality edits to ensure you've got a clue

I don't see a ban this user from submitting this nonsense button

so it can't be real peer reviewing

I AM SHOCKED

oh pls @TildalWave I was about to edit that, now I've just rolled back your edit because it wasn't on my screen

TildalWave

too many cooks spoil the broth

kalina

Rory Alsop

Too many cooks, too many cooks...

It takes a lot to make a stew...

@Matthew maybe he wants to write poetry with SSIDs

Matthew

@TildalWave I now have the concept of a Star Wars scroll in reverse, using the strength of the SSIDs to make lines move down an auto sorted list

TildalWave

ha, never thought of using SSIDs to broadcast spoilers ... now that's a novel attack LOL

Matthew

@TildalWave I feel I should do this with a Raspberry Pi and a coffee shop...

Q: Why IOS on IPhone cannot be brute-forced programatically?

I am interested in the recent Apple case where FBI wants to get access, but they say it's not technically possible other than creating a new OS (or I guess just modifying the existing one). More details of Apple response is here. What I do not understand is how is it not possible to brute-force ...

encryption brute-force ios iphone decryption

TildalWave

could work as a parental control... no connecting to WiFi past 11 pm or you're gonna find out what happened in the last episode of whatever series is trending now

Matthew

I'm sure there is an answer to this knocking around on the site, but I'm failing at search

@TildalWave Presumably they'd just automatically connect though?

TildalWave

@Matthew they'd have to select the SSID first

Matthew

@TildalWave My phone and laptop just connect to my home network by magic...

@Matthew change your WiFi SSID, see what good that magic does :P

Rоry McCune

@TildalWave well if you're windows all the way and sign-in with a Microsoft account you should only need to update one device in theory

Magic* will sort the rest
