Episode 1x03 Release Options

[Darren Kitchen]

Welcome Diggers and MAKE readers!

In Episode 3 of our Internet TV show, Hak.5, we showed how to make both a custom RSS newspaper that prints every morning and a RSS alarm clock that reads the top 5 stories from your favorite feeds with text to speech.

Below are the notes from the episode. The show can be downloaded from the episodes page at http://www.hak5.org/episodes/

A live example of the RSS Newspaper can be seen here: http://rss.thesourcecode.us/

Episode 4 will be released on November 5th (We release on the 5th of every month)

Happy Digging and Making!

8. Create the following batch script:

CODE

echo "Good Morning Your-Name-Goes-Here... ... ... ..." >> alarm.txt

echo "Top 5 stories from Dig this morning are:... ..." >> alarm.txt

perl rss2html5.pl http://www.digg.com/rss/index.xml >> alarm.txt



echo "Top 5 stories from Slash Dot this morning are:... ..." >> alarm.txt

perl rss2html5.pl http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot >> alarm.txt



echo "Top 5 stories from Boing Boing are:... ..." >> alarm.txt

perl rss2html5.pl http://feeds.feedburner.com/boingboing/iBag >> alarm.txt



echo "... ... Have a nice day!... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..." >> alarm.txt

echo "Oh, and by the way, Hack point five owns!" >> alarm.txt



del alarm.wav

TextToWave.vbs alarm.txt 35

del alarm.txt

start alarm.m3u

(Replace RSS feeds as you so desire)

8. Create the alarm.m3u playlist file pointing to your wake-up-song and alarm.wav using the following example:

CODE

#EXTM3U

#EXTINF:30,B-52's - Love Shack

love_shack.mp3

#EXTINF:81,alarm

alarm.wav

9. Schedule the batch script using the AT command[7].
Example: AT 07:30 /EVERY:m,t,w,th,f c:alarmalarm.bat

ARP Cache Poisoning Attack Overview
------------------------------------

Arp Cache Poisoning

I. Tools
1. Nmap (win/unix) - www.insecure.org/nmap
a. Security scanner for network enumeration.
b. Great for scanning ports and finding server apps
2. Cain&Abel (win) - http://www.oxid.it/cain.html
a. Arp attack tool.
b. "Password recovery tool" for sniffing passwords
3. Ettercap (unix) - http://ettercap.sourceforge.net/
a. Arp attack tool for unix
b. Supports active and passive disection of many protocols
4. Ethereal (win/unix)- http://www.ethereal.com/
a. Network protocol analyzer
b. Creates excellent capture files

II. Procedure
1. Scan the network and choose a target.
a. Nmap allows you do get detailed information on the host.
b. Cain&Abel also has a built in network scanner if time is an issue.
2. Perform the Arp Attack.
a. Spoof mac address.
b. Start poisining.
3. Intercept network traffic with ethereal
a. Select the appropriate ethernet device.
b. Filter traffic by typing in the protocol.

III. Further Reading
1. Check out a tool called Taranis.
2. ARPoison (unix) - http://arpoison.sourceforge.net/
3. Parasite - http://www.securityfocus.com/data/tools/parasite-0.5.tar.gz
4. Dsniff - http://www.monkey.org/~dugsong/dsniff/
5. Snort - http://www.snort.org
6. Arpwatch - http://www.redhat.com/swr/i386/arpwatch-2.1a4-29.i386.html

IV. Countermeasures
1. Certain firewalls will store ARP tables and not accept new entries
2. Insecure.org - http://seclists.org/lists/pen-test/2001/May/0106.html

P.S. Thankx for the Fan Darren

[lavatory]

Great job to all the HAK.5 crew on the new episode. I just got done streaming it over my XBox. I had to watch it twice to catch all the info and absorb it into the beer sponge. I especially "dugg" the ending.

[WolfMan]

Bit torrent....... when its good its good.. when its bad its fucking bad! :evil:

carry on.

[Gersey]

Anyone getting slow speeds off of the filefarmer site?

[DarkSenay]

Yeah filefarmer is extremely slow, i have maxed out at 8k a sec. I would download BT but im at school and i cant. So yeah, so far, filefarmer hasnt impressed me...

[Chalito]

Yo you guys really know what your talking about. I learn something new everytime I watch Hak.5 :lol: . Episode 3 had to have been the best one yet. Keep it up. Wess is the man when it comes to case mods. I did the custom paint mod and my rig loooks sick.

---Stephen---

[harrison]

We are having some serious problems with FileFarmer, sorry guys, please hang in there. Try out the torrents and lets see if we can get those speeds up!

[heysews]

No problems with the torrent speeds here. Came down at around 500KB for me. Yet another good episode, got a question too. What's the name of the song playing during the credits/intro?

[harrison]

The song during the intro is called "Ghostwriter" by RJD2. A personal favorite of mine :)

[Guest__*]

Got my copy. Excellently done. Great segmants, The little bit at the end had me rolling. Dont want to give away any spoilers :D Awesome show guys, just keeps getting better and better each episode. Keep up the great work!

[Forward]

Spectacular. The segmants were all really good, lots of great info in there.

[heysews]

The song during the intro is called "Ghostwriter" by RJD2. A personal favorite of mine :)

Nice, thanks. :)

[harrison]

No problem :)
