Holidays Out of Office!

12/24/09 | by zveriu | Categories: Thoughts, Travel, English

My dears,

I will be Out Of “Office” (to be read out of island, out of mind, out of reach and away from the beach, etc.) on Winter Holidays period!

My GPS reads 26C3 coordinates ahead, so find me there if you please.

Ahead apologies for any delayed responses - I will catch up with replies whenever I get the chance given I have at least the poorest internet connection.

If you have any MFCUK (MiFare Classic Universal toolKit) related questions, don’t hesitate to contact me - hopefully after 26C3, myself and other MiFare hackers will have more visibility over MFCUK.

Thanks and have wonderful/pleasant/safe Winter Holidays!

RATB/Metrorex Card Activ Hacked

11/14/09 | by zveriu | Categories: Hardware, Software, Hack, Hack, RFID

RATB/Metrorex Card Activ Hacked
…and “Mifare Classic Dark-Side Key Recovery Tool” released under GPL!

Well… It was about the time for RATB/Metrorex Card Activ in Bucharest to fall… And it is not even news. OV Chipkaart in Netherlands, Oyster Card in London were broken in the near and not so near past…

RATT Contactless Ticketing in Timisoara and EasyCard in Taipei are the next samples of cards to be “hacked", i.e. the keys are recovered, need only to analyze the data.

Mifare Classic is both theoretically and practically broken in both active (sniffing) and passive (card-only) attack scenarios.

Thanks to ignorance, lots of money/interest (14 Millions of Euros) and UTI/PMB (Primaria Municipiului Bucuresti/Bucharest City Hall) involvement, RATB/Metrorex still uses Mifare Classic.

Hell ya, where are they gonna go? It’s a logistic nightmare to upgrade the readers in the entire RATB fleet and all Metrorex entrances, manage the exchange of already 800.000 sold cards, not telling about additional several Millions of Euros for upgrade equipment and software upgrades…

Even though researches were blowing the whistle from last year, no system integrator or vendor seems to care :). Well it seems that few smart guys (and not pointing to me, I just implemented what other had know and researched for a long time) can fcuk up dozen of systems, each costing Millions of Euros.

Nice equation: (a dozen of smart guys * their brain IQs of Millions) >>>OUT-WEIGHTS>>> (the dozens of projects * XX Millions of Euros)

Long story short, here we go - food for the brain (yes - food for the brain, not spoon-feeding - note the difference):

Oda workaholicului

(via Andreea M.)

De recitat solemn la inceperea zilei de munca

Iubesc biroul meu fara lumina!
Ma simt in el ca vulpea-n vizuina!
Iubesc mobila gri, plina de praf,
Dulapuri burdusite, hartii vraf.

Concediul nu-l iubesc defel!
Nici nu mai vreau s-aud de el!
Nu trebuie sa dorm!
Nu vreau sa am odihna!
De nu muncesc, deloc eu nu am tihna!

De munca mea sunt fericit,
Nimic atata-n viata n-am iubit!
Iubesc computerul fereastra
Cu scafarlia lui albastra.

Iubesc sedintele mai lungi
Cand am in creier cifre, dungi.
Iubesc, va spun acu din nou,
Sa stau o viata la birou!

Imi place munca!
As munci mai mult in fiecare zi.
Nu vreau salariu! Nu vreau stima!
Mi-ajunge critica drept prima!

Profetia Maya

Profetia Maya

(via Elena S.)

Maya ramane o civilizatie misterioasa, aparuta din neant si cu o origine inca nedeslusita, la fel ca in cazul Sumerului, Indului sau Egiptului Antic. O civilizatie cu un calendar inexplicabil de asemanator cu cel al dacilor, cu date cosmice calculate pana la milioane de ani in trecut, deci avand cunostiinte astronomice extraordinar de avansate.

O dovada in acest sens este si calendarul, de o exactitate demna de secolul XX.
Anul mayas avea 365,242129 zile, in conditiile in care actualele calcule dimensioneaza anul la 356,242198 zile.
Pentru comparatie, sa retinem un amanunt: calendarul Gregorian indica 365,2425 zile.
Desi extraordinar de exact, calendarul mayas se opreste in 22 decembrie 2012 !
Aceasta data obsedeaza omenirea de cateva secole si i s-au cautat diverse explicatii, majoritatea de
esenta religioasa, mai ales ca unele pasaje ofera argumente in acest sens.
Vom vedea, insa, ca Sfarsitul Timpului nu este si Sfarsitul Lumii, cum gresit s-a inteles si transmis
prin Biblie.
Schimbarile care se asteapta in 2012 vor modifica total viata pe Terra si omenirea insasi.

Enjoy FuckDonalds!

10/26/09 | by zveriu | Categories: General, Fun, English

Well, I propose a new marketing franchise called “FuckDonalds”



Why? Well because my point of view is “Fuck McDonalds” (and screw all other mass-consuming-junk-unhealthy-brainwashing so-called-food “chains” and corporations - please note, chains as in (mental)-slavery-chains )

If we think it this way, we are perfectly aligned with the “Idiocracy” movie’s idea of “human intelligence halving-period” leading from restaurant chain “Fuddruckers” to the name “Buttfuckers”



Second, if we think it in the way of “Super Size Me” movie idea of “Would you like it super-size for 1$ more?” and following the “McDonalds” to “FuckDonalds” metamorphosis, imagine this dialogue - wouldn’t it be [fun/hor]ny?

  • “Hi, I would like a Big Fuck with free french-fries
  • “Sure. For 1$ more, would you like the Big Fuck Super Sized?”
  • “Yammy! Sure I do!”

NASA’S LCROSS Reveals Target Crater for Lunar South Pole Impacts

The mission team announced Wednesday that Cabeus A will be the target crater for the LCROSS dual impacts scheduled for 7:30 a.m. EDT on Oct. 9, 2009. [Take the binoculars off the shelf and quick-quick to watch the “fireworks” :D] The crater was selected after an extensive review as the optimal location for LCROSS’ evaluation of whether water ice exists at the lunar south pole.

LCROSS will search for water ice by sending its spent upper-stage Centaur rocket to impact the permanently shadowed polar crater. The satellite will fly into the plume of dust left by the impact and measure the properties before also colliding with the lunar surface. The LCROSS team selected Cabeus A based on a set of conditions that include proper debris plume illumination for visibility from Earth, a high concentration of hydrogen, and mature crater features such as a flat floor, gentle slopes and the absence of large boulders – [I hope the f**kers destroy the natural Earth satelite and affect the gravitaional fields :D]

During a media briefing Sept. 11, Daniel Andrews, LCROSS project manager at Ames, provided a mission status update indicating the spacecraft is healthy and has enough fuel to successfully accomplish all mission objectives.

About AskAmit

About AskAmit

At my previous work and here also, I and coworkers had an internal subject [AskAmit] for sharing shitty code (which we find around or even discover in inherited projects) among us.

This continued in the current company - like for example this one (not exact reproduction, but still) in Java (trully existing code at my present company :D) – test if a boolean variable is true or false:

Code:

if (boolean_var.toString.length() == 4)
{
      // True, do the True actions
}
else If (boolean_var.toString.length() == 5)
{
      // False, do the False actions
}
else
{
      // Ummm, raise processor fault?
}

The [AskAmit] name was coming from Sun’s JMF (Java Media Foundation) incredible naive line at those times (2002) that made the framework buggy enough (though it was a good concept):

jmf-2_1_1e-scsl-src/src/share/com/sun/media/util/Registry.java
if (file.length() == 0) { // TODO: Ask AMITH if you need this

Seems like [AskAmit] kind-of groups grow everywhere, so it reached to a critical level called GovnoKod (ShittyCode) – highly recommended reading not to step on the shitty paths of programming

iPhone OpenGL Demo - Water Waves Effect

09/21/09 | by zveriu | Categories: Fun, Software, iPhone, iPhone

UPDATE 20100102: As there seem to appear some unsatisfied fuckup-folks, read this first:

  • code is provided AS IS, no warranties
  • got no time to sort things out? don’t lose your time checking out the code then
  • lazy enough/looser-programmer and looking for spoon-feeding solutions only? don’t lose your time checking out the code then
  • don’t like my code? write better one instead and let me see you give it for free before you comment
  • for those whoever is “fuck you"-ing me for whatever frustration reason they got - you are free to leave the blog - this blog is not for you

UPDATE 20090921: ZIP with sources is NOT corrupted. Please use 7-Zip archiver (ver >= 1.59)

Some time back, I was asked by Emi Abramzon and Gustavo Rubacha from http://www.ideasforiphone.com if I could do some freelancing for an effect of water waves for iPhone. Though I didn’t get into that project, I wanted to do some demo.

Spent one weekend on this. Not very astonishing, but still was an interesting task :). Algorithm is not mine. It is based on “DSAqua project”.

I just integrated everything into the iPhone OpenGL ES skeleton of the cube.

Also, previously provided the sources to Tony Konstant from mousehog.com (btw he has some nice ideas) - he was interested in this effect, but unfotunatelly couldn’t any application related to this on this site.

UPDATE: Sources iPhone OpenGL ES Cube 3D with texture (Some reported archive corruption. Seems to work well with 7-Zip 4.5x, 4.6x for Windows)

This is a demo video showing my humble achievements in the direction of OpenGL ES 1.1 for iPhone, using some texture and light experiments. It is of course not intended as a working program, it’s rather a demo concept snippet of code.

The binary:
- source written in objective-c
- compiled as native application with iPhone toolchain under cygwin
- ran on iPhone 1.1.2 OOB

The acknowledgements go to:
- AJW - for great iPhone OpenGL startups
- ZeusCMD - for great OpenGL ES tutorials
- nullriver - for posts and links

Here is the binary available for download:
iPhone OpenGL ES Demo binary

Instructions:
- GLTextureCube to be put into /Applications and given proper permissions (755 to dirs and files will suffice)
- zveriu.raw to be put into /private/var and given at least read permission (444 will suffice)
- you can replace zveriu.raw with your own image data, given you follow the constraints:
– 128 by 128 pixel - sorry, had to hard-code to speed-up the working demo ;D
– raw data, i.e. no headers, compression, etc - :crazy:
– 1 (one) byte per color, color scheme RGB
– basically it is a 24bit BMP, with no header, just raw data
_________
- to obtain such a raw file, you can:
– get a 128 by 128 24 bits BMP file with your texture
– open it with IrfanView
– make sure you have IrfanView plugin named Formats
– save as the BMP with RAW file type, instructing irfan view to make it 24 bits RGB (not BGR!) and interleaved, meaning bytes follow as RGBRGB…RGBRGB and not RRRRRR…GGGGGG…BBBBBB
_________
- basically, to check that zveriu.raw (case sensitive!) you have created is right, file size should be 128 (width) * 128 (height) * 3 (bytes for RGB ) = 49152 bytes exactly

Hope you enjoyed this post.

I have some more ideas to test on iPhone - hope to overcome all the limitations (including time-constraint :) ). And by the way - the USRP is solved, need to get GNUradio working on one of the boxes (cygwin refuses to get me wxPython right for GNUradio - will stick to Ubuntu for the moment!)

Oda consumatorilor de credinta

Busu’-ntreg - moda-n evlavii
Turm’-a kitschurilor. Ca sclavii
Ne-nchinam toti laolalta,
Imprimam un semn pe piept-
Eticheta a credintei.
Si-o scanam cu semnul crucii
Drept dovada achitarii
A pacatelor perpetui…………
S-apoi pacatuim de spargem-
Injuram, furam si batem-
Incontinuu, incontinuu…
Pentru ca asa ne place,
Pentru ca asa traim,
Dar ni-e frica sa murim!
Si de ce ti-e frica oare?
Sau sa pierzi ceva te doare?
Stii, in mormant nu iai nimica-
Nici masina, nici garaj,
Si nici plasma extraplata.
Si nici credite, nici case-
De chibrituri cutioare.
Nu iai nimica, insa lasi
Dupa tine spre urmasi

Precum gazul-in zadar…

United Future World Currency Program - New World Currency Coin At G8

07/19/09 | by zveriu | Categories: News, Thoughts, English, Multi-Lingual, World, Local, USA, HotNews

Yes, it’s OFFICIAL… No more hiding behind the shadows… Even though there were numerous rumors about AMERO (North American Union currency), the G8 makes more global plans OFFICIAL - United Future World Currency Program - New World Currency Coin At G8!

United World Supranationl Currency at G8 Medvedev

Notice, these are not just some conspiracy sites making up some rumors over again… From all the news from G8 I have seen, I didn’t hear nor hear anything about this one in the mainstreams. I just hardly believe this one is so NOT important for entire world that it didn’t make it to wide news stream and announcements…

Some random thoughts:

  • why there was no wide announcements for this, moreover given the world financial crisis they claim we are in
  • if this is their solution and they make it official, why not announcing it properly?
  • having a global currency would imply a very centralized and global power - who will own you, this is the question?

Maybe I am mistaken, but from what I understand even the flash player design is a matter of design copyright. Maybe I am wrong - then please correct me in comments.

iPhone Face Detection

02/17/09 | by zveriu | Categories: Software, iPhone, Hack

iPhone Face Detection

I think it is pretty amazing, since as far as I know and searched, it seems that it is the first face detection app to be running on iPhone itself.

Regarding comparison with iFace and iPhoto - it looks like these apps snap the picture and send it to a central server for processing and etc. (I am not going to go in a detailed description and comparison of all these apps features though)

Also, it seems like hotels far away from home may act as energy and ideas boosters. One year back once setting up my site, I proposed myself to make the code portable and run on as many platforms, including iPhone which I got at that time. One year of delaying and finally few days of hotel lock-up and I have it working for the iPhone.

Feeling of satisfaction is unbeatable.

Few notes:

  • Code is almost 100% portable. Yes, few minor tweaks of settings for the compiling environments, but overall the same routines are used for all these platforms: Windows, Linux, Cygwin, iPhone (FW 1.1.2), Mac OSX.
  • It is good to see false-positives and missed true-positives if talking from research point of view, since this means there is room to improve and study. The percentages of detected true-positive, missed true-positives and false-positives seems to be around 80%/15%/5%.
  • Still have to check and properly evaluate processing times. No figures here yet
  • Compilers used are gcc flavors for the corresponding platform/architecture
  • For the iPhone I used iphone-dev team’s toolchain for iPhone FW 1.x
  • Unfortunatelly, I cannot share or release code at this point. Please don’t ask for it at least for the moment
  • However, if you have any serious research or commercial offers, don’t hesitate to contact me (contacts on right panel)
  • Click here for related links of my previous work

TODOs:

  • Seems like last minute hassle made my facial features (eyes-mouth triangle) not to work properly. Hopefully will be fixed next time I touch the code (never know when it happens)
  • Face recognition. I have some experimental code for PCA method, though I want more research on this.
  • Face and flow tracking in video feed from iPhone (crappy) camera

Stay tuned…

eJobs.ro security hacked screwed again - execution with cool-blooded SQL injection

Yes boyz and pretty girlz, eJobs.ro gets it again into the face and gives away 1.3 Mln resumes and personal information! More - passwords in clear, not at least hashed…

My two cents on this:

1. Nice work from the guys here - HackersBlog.org

2. Some of my early whistle-blowers to the ejobs.ro here (ejobs XSS1) and here (ejobs XSS2) - seems like they have either deaf or inexistent security assesment team… Too pitty for them…

3. It seems that the method used by the guys was in one of my earliest attack methods which I left asside for some dumb reasons. eJobs.ro Attack Vectors file

The below is what I was exercising back then, and the similar attack vector is what the guys really used to SQL-inject (the below is not working already for obvious reasons… :) )

Code:

4. Also, if you go specifically to http://ejobs.ejobs.ro (yes, double times ejobs, it is not a typo!) you will see an internal eJobs position posting. The interesting details I have highlighted below:

google.com - malware problem

02/03/09 | by zveriu | Categories: Fun, On the web, Software, DailySpammer, AskAmit, Hack

google.com - malware problem

As many might recall the Google’s glitch to tag every single site as malware site. More details are:
- @ Google Blogs (fcuk - I think someone will get pretty fudged up in the ase at Google for this human-error, since it was necessary for one of the biggest corporations VP to officially give explanations and appologies - those who worked or are working for some kind of corporations know this kind of price…)
- @ StopBadware.org

One of the most nicest things is

Google to tag itself (i.e. Google) as malware

.

Philosophically speaking, Google being a source of trust for a wide majority of people/systems AND in the same times tagging itself as malware (even though for a very small amount of time AND by “mistake” - I would love to believe that it was a mass-social-experiment :) ) - doesn’t it raises the question of old classes of computer-field (and not only) problems “Chain of trust and breaking the chain of trust?!”

Here is my screenshot :D :

Meet Your Meat

01/26/09 | by zveriu | Categories: Thoughts, English, World, Local, HotNews

Meet Your Meat

Warning: Contains explicit and crude video fragments

Though I am not a vegetarian, and hardly I could be 100% vegetarian in the near future (or maybe/hopefully I am wrong), but definitely I would think twice when buying corporate-meat-products or would eat meet in some fast-food-chain locations. Possibly I would leave as a rare choice only the old-way country-peasant.

UPDATE: I am really eager to see the “Meet Your Veggies", because for sure the industry is not being more humane in that direction (you know, genetically modified veggies, all sorts of insecticides and growing hormones, etc.) Bottom line is - it is nothing more safe to eat than what you grow & prepare yourself.

Anyway, “The choice is yours!”

Public display - “Meet your Meat” on the street and people reactions

Guess this meat!

Romania and ePassport (e as in evil)

Romania and ePassport (e as in evil)

Prolog en-gross

De ceva zile, tot romanul (blogosfera, stirile, cercurile crestine, conspirationistii, si restul oamenilor fals-liberi) zumzaie despre noile pasapoarte electronice cu cip biometric - flood de linkuri catre orice tip de informatii, mai putin surse legislative sau documentare. Am cautat. Am si gasit. Mai jos urmeaza.

En-detail

2008-11-03: Romania semneaza “DECLARAŢIE
ÎNTRE MINISTERUL INTERNELOR ŞI REFORMEI ADMINISTRATIVE DIN

Trivia (pentru crestini sau simbologi): Semnatarul din partea SUA este Michael Chertoff (scary picture, huh :)?!) de origine rusa si al carui nume de familie s-ar scrie astfel:
Chertoff=Чертов=Al diavolului
Черт=Diavol

Pentru a intelege implicarile aceste declaratii, cateva puncte de reper:

  • VWP (Visa Waiver Program - program la careRomania nu este inca membra) - cere “Eligible nationals of these countries are able to travel without a visa for tourist and business travel of 90 days or less provided they possess an e-passport and an approved authorization through the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA)”
  • Citam din declaratia sus amintita:
    “3. Asemenea măsuri, programe, sisteme şi proceduri includ, dar nu se limitează la:
    a) dezvoltarea şi emiterea paşapoartelor electronice;
    b) declararea la timp a paşapoartelor furate şi pierdute;
    c) schimbul de informaţii pentru îmbunăţirea securităţii şi controlului la frontieră,
    inclusiv schimbul de informaţii cu privire la pasageri;
    d) îmbunătăţirea standardelor de securitate ale documentelor de călătorie;
    e) stabilirea şi derularea unor programe de pregătire pentru Air Marshals (ofiţeri de

    f) alte măsuri comune benefice pentru îmbunătăţirea securităţii frontierei şi călătoriei.”

    “1. Schimbul de Informaţii
    a) Participanţii, în cooperare cu celelalte autorităţi naţionale competente, intenţionează
    să conlucreze îndeaproape pentru întărirea capabilităţilor de a schimba informaţii,
    incluzând, dar fără a se limita la schimbul de informaţii privind monitorizarea fenomenului
    terorist cu scopul de a identifica persoane cunoscute sau suspectate de terorism sau
    activităţi teroriste. În acest sens, autorităţile naţionale competente din România
    intenţionează încheierea unui aranjament cu SUA pentru a schimba informaţii privind
    monitorizarea persoanelor cunoscute sau suspecte ca fiind terorişti.”

    Cati teroristi oare se plimba prin Romania? Eu zic ca roiesc teroristii chiar in fata la TNB… aia care strigau “Libertate!” :(

    “Înţelegerile şi aranjamentele de mai sus reflectă intenţiile de bună credinţă ale
    Participanţilor. Nimic din această Declaraţie nu intenţionează să aducă Participanţilor
    obligaţii de ordin juridic împotriva legislaţiei lor naţionale sau internaţionale
    .”

    Unu: nu cred in buna credinta a guvernelor, Doi: “spalarea pe maini” (fraza cu obligatiile) si buna credinta nu au nimic in comun.

Tinand seama de cele de mai sus si constatand ca prietenii nostrii,
colegii nostri de serviciu, rudele noastre, multe dintre fiintele pe
care le iubim sau doar avem relatii conventionale cu ele, NU STIU
DESPRE ACEASTA LEGE MIZERABILA, va propun sa trimiteti tuturor
persoanelor din lista voastra de email sau messenger acest mesaj sau
unul asemanator.

STIINTA INSEAMNA PUTERE si A STII SI A NU ACTIONA ESTE SUPREMA
LASITATE.

Cred ca aceasta lege este revoltatoare si mai cred ca o mare parte
din puterea ei se bazeaza pe faptul ca NU ESTE INCA LARG CUNOSCUTA.
Noi putem sa o facem cunoscuta si cred ca aceasta este una dintre
menirile noastre de ACUM: SA O FACEM CUNOSCUTA !”

Care-i toata afacerea?

Romanul (desi nu doar romanul, ci in general populatia in masa a acestei planete) isi vinde de-a dreptul orice tip de libertate in schimbul a unui amarat “drept” de a merge in “America (frate!” ca sa fie citatul complet) in care sa vada cu ochii larg inchisi “American Dream” ("Because you have to be asleep to beleive it!” cum zicea rapostaul George Carlin) sau sa fie descaltat si tratat cu cea mai mare umilinta (daca mai consideram valabila ideea ca omul nu e o oaie care trebuie trecuta prin tarc) in toate aeroporturile…

Solutia?

Lumea inca se mai gandeste la solutii, dar se pare din pacate ca deocamdata e un “Game Over” (sau mai bine zis Endgame) cu rezultatul “ai nostri au pierdut” - hrana pentru minte:

“Knowledge Brings Fear - Welcome to the world of tomorrow. We lost the war”

“E-Passport: Doorway to the Panopticon”

PS:

Demonstratii de (in)securitate al acestor pasapoarte electronice au fost demonstrate si descrise de prin 2005 de la primele prototipuri publice, hence se pare ca lumea nu vrea sa afle adevarul :). Sint bucuros ca sint brese de securitate - ne mai da sperante de reusita in vremurile de apoi, if you know what i mean…

Va urma…

Despre GSM - eu il descifrez drept “Global Slaving Mechanism"…
