I-Hacked Updates 2006
Written by hevnsnt   
Monday, 02 October 2006
I just wanted to touch base on a few new things going on around here.

1) 2006 Tshirts have been RELEASED!  This year we updated the "Classic" shirt with this years hacks, along with two brand new designs!  Last year I had quite a few ladies who wanted a girl shirt, so WE GOT THEM!  We also went ahead and released a new "Soldering Iron" design.  The shirts have been selling quickly, so if you want one, please order soon!

All proceeds made from the sell of T-Shirts will go towards an I-Hacked party in Vegas for Defcon 15! 

Also, I would love to see some action shots of you in the shirts, so send them in!

2) We have opened up our "Mailbag" to I-Hacked members to read hacks as they get submitted.  Not only does this give our members access to hacks before they are released, but we are also asking for feedback on which articles should make the front page.  This enables our members to be a larger part in the site.  Please visit the mailbag section and let us know what you think!

And Lastly,  Please make sure to visit my MySpace page, "The Edge" blog, or drop us a voicemail at 206-98-IHACK. Also make sure to visit my newest social deals site DealSpy.

Happy Hacking
-Bill (hevnsnt)

Build a Pirate Cubicle Cannon
Written by hevnsnt   
Saturday, 16 September 2006

Pirate Cubicle CannonAs I am sure you are aware, tuesday September 19th is "Talk like a Pirate Day". Instead of buying some plastic sword and fake eye-patches, I decided to make some artillery to ensure that I am safe from other pirate-day celebrating co-workers. We will be making a film canister cannon that will literally blow your coworkers (or fellow students) away. We will be using some easy to find parts to create the cannon, and you should be able to make it in one afternoon. The parts we are going to use are only my suggestion, you can make your cannon any way that you would like it.

How to Find 100,000+ Web Proxies and the State of Internet Censorship in the U.S.
Written by Noblockingme.com   
Thursday, 07 September 2006
It's September and many students are going back to school. One burning technology question has left students flabbergasted for the past decade. The age old question, "How do I get around my school's web filter?", has been answered in a number of ways. Some out rightly condemn the student for asking the question, and tell him to pay more attention to his school work. This answer troubles me the most because it is entirely contrary to the hacker ethic. The student has asked a question, and therefore deserves to know the right answer. Telling him that the filter cannot be circumvented is censorship.

More noble users have cited web proxies as an easy way to thwart the school's web filter. The proxy acts as a buffer allowing the user to gain access to blocked web pages quickly and easily. This method is preferred because it only requires the typing in of a URL into a browser window. Unfortunately, once the proxy is found by the filtering company it will be blocked and no longer allow access by the user.

Students often feel suppressed and stumped by the elusive filtering technology. This should not be the case, as all good hackers know that the human mind is far more powerful than that of a machine. Therefore, this same mind should be able to break away from the chains of censorship by exploiting technology to his advantage. I will show you how to do this.

Problem: Students use web proxies to gain access to blocked sites. As soon as the filtering company or school administration detects them they become blocked and no longer usable. The student needs a way to get passed the filter.

Increase the range of a Linksys WRE54G Wireless Repeater
Written by FemalesLieAlot   
Thursday, 31 August 2006
On a casual walk around my apartment I discovered that a neighbor in my neighboring complex was sending their wireless signal into my apartment. After connecting to their unsecured network I realized that it was 4X faster then my current DSL connection. The problem, I could only get a "very low" connection from the wall in my daughter's room. So after some thought I purchased a Linksys WRE54G Wi-Fi range expander. Setting this up at the wall in my daughters room slightly solved the problem by rebroadcasting the "very low" signal throughout my apartment but it still held that title of "very slow" and often dropped the connection. So after some more thought I decided to invest in a cAntenna. The only way to use the cAntenna was to hook it into my laptop and sit in my daughter's room with the cAntenna hanging out the window. Sure enough, I got a "very strong" signal from that. But being forced to sit in a room, surrounded by Dora the Explorer, just to get a faster internet connection wasn't what I wanted to do. I wanted it to be a wireless connection. So I got my cAntenna, spliced it into the WRE54G, aimed it at the neighbor's and BAM! Now I have a "very strong" connection that is repeated throughout my apartment. This is how it's done!

Hack Bluetooth into the Nextel i930
Written by huntingr   
Tuesday, 29 August 2006
As you may know, the Nextel i930 Smartphone does not come with Bluetooth. It’s amazing that Motorola did not design Bluetooth into this originally $500 phone.
I-Hacked reader "huntingr" came up with a solution that allows the use of Bluetooth to connect to a wireless headset for phone calls and MP3s. Additionally, with the use of a PC and a Bluetooth dongle, the phone can be used as a wireless modem (additional Nextel data plan & drivers may be required for this). At any rate, the Bluetooth audio service is free and no drivers are needed.

I-Hacked Staff Hacks 2006 Defcon Hacker Convention

How I Hacked Defcon(Title could use the word "Hack" in there a few more times)

What happens when you place 6,000 of the worlds best hackers in one hotel? Stuff gets hacked, normally the hotel's stuff. This year, Surbo and I wanted to change that -- and this is the story of how we did it. We made the sacrifice to put our lives on hold and go to Las Vegas (yeah it was rough) to mingle with the worlds best hackers. As we got there and checked in we were given the lowlyest of badges, the "General Population" badges -- referred to as the "Human Class". Don't get me wrong, Joe Grand (of GrandIdeaStudios.com) did a great job on the badges, but did I-hacked staff deserve the plain "Human" class badges? We certainly didn't think so, later we will discuss how Joe's design ultimately led to the compromising of Defcon.
