Ngharo got this started with going around the room and asking everyone what they have been hacking and what they plan on hacking on next, then talking about some improvements to the dc414 server, such as how it is now fully IPv6 friendly and some improvements to the VPN. Then I gave a demo of how BeEF when used with Metasploit can pwn browsers from the inside out. dw5304 stepped in and showed us how to use the windows 7 UI on windows 8 with out having to worry about updates messing things up. Then Noize stepped up and gave us all a great introduction to Subterfuge, a MITM framework that utilizes arp attacks. Then I attempted to give another demo but failed, more on that later 😉 We spent the rest of the night drinking, eating cupcakes “thanx darkwinds wife” and loling at horror pics of server rooms and wiring closets. Congrats to Castor, Tony, and Peppergomez for winning the dc414 free junk giveaway!! Enjoy your junk guys 😛

We got $42 in donations which paid for the pizza and some of the beer with nothing left over for the server :/ which cost about $71 a month. Remember your donations are what keeps dc414 running smoothly for YOU!!!!

September meeting recap

Last meeting was awesome as always, we had some good demos and new faces which is always great. Ngharo started it off going around the room and asking ppl what they hacked last month and what they plan to hack next.

I gave my fakeAP demo to get credit card numbers or sniff traffic. The CC part failed :/ but the sniff part worked like a charm!! Then dw5304 gave a demo titled “Cable hacking for fun” and talked about how to get online anonymously with cable modems, getting almost unlimited bandwidth, modem cloning and lots more. Faraday came packing with some lithium ion batteries and big ass LEDs he gave out “to make flash lights out of” and stuff for making your capacitors which is always fun.

Then I spent the rest of the night drinking beer and yelling in to a ham radio, so I didn’t take any pictures. Congrats to uberushaximus for winning the dc414 free junk giveaway!

Here is a link to the github fakeAP pwnage project, it only works with Backtrack 5 and could use some improvement.

Klaiviel started us off by giving us a nice show of binary key card hotel locks popular over seas, showed us a 3d printed key for one of his locks, explained pick proof locks from the 40s that are no longer used but highly effective and how to make them today using regular locks. Then he showed us why he is the second best key impressionist in the world, and made a working key for a lock right in front of us and giving us step by step instructions on how to do it our selves.

I stepped in and gave a quick demo of how I made our new and improved donations bucket which I will be making a blog post on later. Darkwind came packing with a alfa wifi antenna hooked up to a satellite dish! This made a killer directional wifi antenna, we took it up to the roof of bucketworks and got signals from all over including the moon 😛 Ngharo hooked it up to his lappy and cracked a few networks 🙂

After the roof party was over and we got back down stairs Castor gave a DEFCON20 badge hacking demo and showed us how to turn our badges into any other badge type we wanted, then showed us how to make the LEDs on the badge flash out words and stuffs. Then we all just started bull shitting and talking about up coming projects.

Cmoney couldnt make it out so I took a few picture that you can view here. Congrats to darkwind and faraday for winning the dc414 free junk giveaway!!

Good times with snmp

Posted on by

At the last meeting dw5304 gave a demo on snmp scanning and gaining access to things you shouldn’t have access to with a few home brew windows apps he coded up. Its been a while since I messed with snmp but his demo got me back into it, so I made a little python script to scan subnets for open snmp servers with the read/write string set to private. Here is the code:

#! /usr/bin/env python
import commands
from scapy.all import *

base = "69.2.1." #IP range to scan minus the last octet.
f = open('/tmp/snmp_output.txt', 'w+')
for i in range(1, 255):
ip = base+str(i)
print ip+"\n"
p = IP(dst=ip)/UDP(dport=161, sport=39445)/SNMP(community="private",PDU=SNMPget(id=1416992799, varbindlist=[SNMPvarbind(oid=ASN1_OID("1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0"))]))
pkt = sr1(p, timeout=1)
if pkt and pkt.sprintf("%IP.proto%") != "icmp":
p1 = pkt.sprintf("%SNMP.PDU%").split("ASN1_STRING['", 1)
p2 = p1[1].split("'", 1)
print pkt.sprintf("%IP.src%")+" - "+p2[0]
f.write(pkt.sprintf("%IP.src%")+" - "+p2[0]+"\n")
f.close()
print "\nDONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n"

Its a little hacked together and could use improvement but it works “feel free to send in any improvements you make”. It puts all the found servers IPs in /tmp/snmp_output.txt along with their system description enumerated via snmp. Here is a sample output:

69.1.117.87 - Ruckus Wireless Inc (C) 2006
69.1.117.156 - Ruckus Wireless Inc (C) 2006
69.1.117.190 - Ruckus Wireless Inc (C) 2006
69.1.117.193 - Ruckus Wireless Inc (C) 2006
69.1.117.203 - Ruckus Wireless Inc (C) 2006
69.1.117.221 - Ruckus Wireless Inc (C) 2006
69.1.163.92 - 24-port 10/100 + 2-Port Gigabit Switch with WebView and PoE
69.1.163.93 - Product: GW 4 FXS;SW Version: 5.80A.023.006

Once you find a few servers you can do snmpwalks on them and scour it for juicy info.
Here are some good OIDs to look for and/or set: *found most of this online & got some from dw5304

You can find a lot more online. Enjoy and happy hacking 🙂

3D Printer Fund

Posted on by

There has been a lot of buzz about 3D printers over the last year.  Prices are coming down and resolution has been increasing.  Klaiviel, our resident lockpicking guru, is attempting to start a business around it.  We feel that DC414 as a whole needs their hands on this technology.  We’re starting a 3D printer fund starting now.

There are many options to go with but we want to get the ball rolling while research is happening in parallel.  Price range we’re looking at is between $500 and $1,000 for quality printers.

This won’t happen without help from people like you.   Once purchases / assembled / hacked, our goal is to make the printer accept jobs from online. We’d queue up jobs and have a webcam feed to view progress when printing remotely.   Notifications would be sent out to the author upon start, completion, and possibly other metrics we can get out of the printer.

  • Donate $25+ gets you free stickers
  • Donate $50+ gets you a free shirt
  • Donate $100+ gets you free prints for 6 months
  • Donate $150+ gets you free prints and priority for 6 months

Any size donation gets you on the thank you list.

As of now we have $233 in the fund.  Make your donation now (look to the right) and lets get this ball rolling.

June’s meeting was great! More new faces, lots of beer, and plenty of pizza 🙂 Ngharo got things started by making a few announcements like our new VPN that is available for donating members, and asking everyone what they are hacking ATM and what they wanna hack next. I was up next and talked about the new server and some of the sections of the site. Then Ulic gave us all the 411 on the Flamer virus sweeping the middle east and some of its unique features. dw5304 took over and gave a sweet demo on how to hack/mod the xbox360, complete with code and points of solder. We got some great pictures this time thanx to cmoney which you can view here. Congrats to nikto, Tony, and Ulic for winning the dc414 free junk giveaway.

Here is nikto and his dc414 junk 🙂

May’s meeting was off the hook, one of our best yet! Lots of new faces which is always nice, good demos, and good beer. Ngharo started it off by talking about the hackathon and THOTCON. Klaiviel did his lock master thing and said a few words about TOOOL. Darkwind gave a awesome demo on sniffing pagers. Its crazy to see all the pager traffic that is still out there. Then I showed off my Arduino windows attack tool and pwned a windows 7 box, There will a blog post about that later. Congrats to Genero for winning the dc414 free junk giveaway! I did take a bunch of pictures but my phone was full of fail and didn’t save any of them 🙁 so no pictures of the meeting this time, sorry. I promise to do better next time 😛 later.

THOTCON greatness

This was the best THOTCON I have been to yet! Awesome talks, awesome beer, awesome food, and awesome people kinda sums it up for this year. Mine and ngharo’s talk went really well, and so far I have had lots of good feed back. I was a little drunk by the time we did our talk so that helped a lot, lol. My favorite talk was “Owning Payphones: 3650-Day Exploits” from savant, dude did a wonderful job and violated payphones in dirty ways! The one I learned the most from was “You put what in your DNS record?” from Mubix, yeah zone transfers are old school and I been using it for ever, but I had no idea you could do it to com and stuff, lol. Here are some pics of the swag and the con. Enjoy.

Me and ngharo giving our talk:

Aprils meeting wasn’t for fools, it was for hackers 😛 It was another awesome meeting full of beer, pizza, lulz, and hacks. dw5304 got the night rolling with how to bypass windows 7 login password, then went on to talk bout how to pwn Time Warner internet! Then Klaiviel gave us a 101 style schooling on hand cuffs, tumbler, combo, and tubular locks and some others! He also covered some car locks, key impression and stuff. He explained the different picking methods and the tools of the trade. Ngharo and I topped off by giving the talk we have prepared for THOTCON! It went well but it is clear we need a little practice before the big event.

Here are some pictures from the meeting thanx to cmoney. Congrats to Klaiviel for getting so many achievements for the Lock Master badge in one night and to The Professor for winning the dc414 free junk giveaway!! He got a awesome CD/DVD/DVD-R external drive “lol”, enjoy!

Big winner of free dc414 junk 🙂

rootkit hidden in millions of cellphones

Posted on by

Another email just surfaced …

rootkit hidden in millions of cellphones

Rootkit found in Android, Symbian, BlackBerry, webOS and even iOS handsets …. but not windows phone’s

The rootkit belongs to a company called Carrier IQ and it seems that it has low-level access to the system that allows it to spy on pretty much everything that you do with your handset. This, on the face of it, seems like an extremely serious breach of security, privacy and trust.

The capabilities of the rootkit were first discovered by 25-year-old Trevor Eckhart.

Here’s a video showing how everything, including text messages and encrypted web searches, are being logged. It’s truly horrifying.

NOTE: At this point there is no evidence to suggest that keystroke data is being transmitted from the handset.

According to Carrier IQ the company is ‘not recording keystrokes or providing tracking tools.’ The video above seems to suggest otherwise.

When Eckhart initially labeled the software as a rootkit, Carrier IQ threatened him with legal action. Only when the Electronic Frontier Foundation stepped in did the company back off from this threat.

“Every button you press in the dialer before you call,” Eckhart says on the video, “it already gets sent off to the IQ application.”

Like I said earlier, there’s a version of Carrier IQ on Apple’s iOS, but it doesn’t seem to be quite the same and doesn’t seem to access as much information. Also, if you want to disable Carrier IQ on your iOS 5 device, turning off Diagnostics and Usage under Settings seems to be enough.

You might have noticed that I didn’t list Windows Phone 7 OS earlier. That’s because it seems that Windows Phone handsets don’t have Carrier IQ installed.

Here’s a video that explains some more about Carrier IQ. This video also contains a clip from a video by Carrier IQ’s vice president of marketing explaining how the company sees this as being completely legal.

 

[UPDATE: According to a statement from Apple to AllThingsD, Apple stopped supporting Carrier IQ with iOS 5.0:

“We stopped supporting Carrier IQ with iOS 5 in most of our products and will remove it completely in a future software update. With any diagnostic data sent to Apple, customers must actively opt-in to share this information, and if they do, the data is sent in an anonymous and encrypted form and does not include any personal information. We never recorded keystrokes, messages or any other personal information for diagnostic data and have no plans to ever do so.”

When begs the question … what’s collecting all the information on the iPhone? Is this a mechanism developed by Apple for Apple?]

Bit shocked that your iPhone has that Carrier IQ logging feature built into the OS? You can switch it off … in fact, I’ve shown you how to do this before!

Here’s how!

Buried in the Settings menu is an option to choose not to send what Apple calls ‘diagnostic and usage data.’ This option is buried real deep:

Settings > General > About > Diagnostics & Usage

Here’s the screen you’re looking for:

Set this to Don’t Send and you can stop worrying about where your data is going and who’s looking at it.

Note that this feature is only present on handsets running iOS 5.0 or later (so the iPhone 4S and upgraded iPhone 4 and 3GS handsets.
