Hacking facebook using scripts
Hacking facebook
Perviously I wrote about hacking facebook and how to hack Facebook. It could be really complicated to hack facebook, but with the technology we have today hacking facebook is not really all that difficult.
As you know, there are extensions for firefox. Greasemonkey is a firefox extension that allows you to run scripts on the webpages that you are viewing. You can add buttons and have it do things you want. So you can delete messages from your inbox if your email service does not have a delet button.
Once you have downloaded the extension and istalled it. Try the following
Automatically log into facebook - automatically log into facebook. For protection, facebook has disabled this function, but with grease monkey you can make it work.
Random image generator- does what it says, gives you a random picture from facebook.
Change Facebook color - Turns the whole facebook layot to any color you want it to be, Its quite amusing. The default is green, but with a little research and know how, you can make it any color you want.
Display age of profile - This little facebook hack allows you to have the age displayed of the profile you are viewing.
Those are just a few ways you can hack facebook. There are many more severe ways people hack facebook, but this is a fun way of hacking facebook.
How safe is your wireless?
I’ve been using this program called wireless key view. When run, it goes through your computer and checks for all the wireless networks you have connected to with your computer and displays them in a nice order for you.
The actual file that is used (wirelesskeyview) is about 32 kb’s in size, so its not big at all and takes seconds to load up. For me, its great. When the people don’t know what their wireless passwords are, I can simply get it off of another computer. Really easy and simple.
Security Wise, its not safe at all. Windows keeps a record of all your wireless networks you have connected to, this program goes and fetches that information and displays it.
I need about 60 seconds to be able to get the wireless key, no matter what encryption, from your computer. I physically need access to the computer, and off I go. You’ll never notice I was there.
So to sum things up. If you are really concerned about wireless security, check with your technician what you can do to make it more secure.
I would recommend a 24bit WEP encryption with Mac address filtering.
What is Mac address Filtering? (more on that later)
So there you go. If you thought you were safe on your wireless network, think again.
Hacking Facebook.
I found this post on a blog the other day:
So Byron Ng isn’t a real Facebook hacker. But apparently it isn’t hard to become one, if you’ve got any technical skills at all. Hacking Facebook is a cottage Industry, with hundreds or thousands of unpaid workers beavering away. The video below shows how to monkey with your friends “Moods” app — in less than 1 minute.
Right now the worst case-scenario for Facebook apps usually means someone’s private photos get exposed — and even the most gullible Facebook user there’s no such thing as true privacy on the Web. (Right?) But as Facebook gets more ambitious — see its upcoming PayPal-like currency — that’s going to change.Is Facebook easier to hack than other sites of similar size? How about compared to other social networks? And if so, what should Zuckerberg & Co. do about it? Let us know in comments.
And thought it was quite interesting. have a look: Alleyinsider
Do you have any thoughts of Facebook being hacked? Do you think that its really safe to use facebook if it can be hacked so easily?
Postcard Virus, The followup.
Postcard Virus. <=== Previus post about the postcard virus
Is it real, or is it a hoax? Well…
The postcard Virus is real. But it does not “burn” or “blow up” your hard drive. That is just made up.
As you know, (maybe) this virus spreads itself as a postcard email attachment. Once run, It infects your computer and goes through your contact on your computer. The postcard virus then takes all your contacts on your computer and emails them from there. With the attachment postcard.exe. It comes from Hallmark.
I had a client this week, that had trouble with their computer. Their Internet Explorer would not stay open, kept on closing everytime it went to a different website. If it did not close it came up with a message saying that the website is unsecure and you are going to get a virus if you view it. I doubt that google.com and yahoo.com and microsoft.com have the same virus
But the first thing I noticed was that the background had an active desktop recovery screen. I have not seen one of those in about 3 years.
Most of the services stopped working. I could not open my computer, I could not use ctrl+alt+Del, Msconfig would not work, regedit would not open. AVG was close and could not start, Aswell as Norton’s.
I then learnt that the postcard virus kills all those services that have the following strings in: AVG, Norton, defender, and basically all the known anti virus protection programs.
I did find out how exactly the virus works. but have lost the website. As soon as I find it , I will post it and let you know.
After hours of struggling, I eventually had to format the computer and reinstall.
I did believe that this virus was a hoax, But after this experience, I changed my mind. This is one of the most severe viruses I’ve dealt with in a very long time.
I hope that this answers your questions and explains some things to you.

Hacking coke vending machines
Now, I know that this is all over the internet, but thought I’d post it anyway.
Have a read, quite interesting.
Coke vending machines are everywhere. They’re getting more and more like regular computers with LEDs that show little “ICE COLD” messages and whatnot. Well, there’s a lot more to those little built-in computers than you may think. Included in the low-level operating system that these babies run on is an actual debug menu that gives you access to all sorts of machine information and possibly gives you free cokes in older machines.
WHICH MACHINES WORK?
There’s a very strict list of vending machines that have the debug menu. First off, they’re all COCA-COLA product vending machines. This means the giant, un-missable picture on the front must show any of the following: Coke, Dasani (Water), Barq’s Root Beer, Vanilla Coke, Cherry Coke, Sprite, Evlan (water), Fanta, Fresca, Frutopia, Hi-C, Sprite Remix, Mad River, Mello Yello, Minute Maid, Nestea, Odwalla, Mr. Pibb/Pibb Xtra, Planet Java, Power Ade, Seagram’s Ginger Ale, Simply Orange, Sparkletts, or Tab. Of course anything Diet or Caffeine free works too.
The machine must have an LED screen. Some of the older ones just allow the LED to be set to a price amount and won’t have the debug menu. You’re safer if the little LED is telling you something. Usually it will scroll a little message like “Ice Cold Cokes”. Newer machines are more likely candidates.
ACCESSING THE MENU
To enter the menu, there’s a button combination. HERE’S THE ONLY THING YOU HAVE TO REALLY REMEMBER:
[4]-[2]-[3]-[1]
The buttons are numbered depending on how they are positioned. They will either be vertical (more likely), or in horizontal rows of 4 buttons per row. If it is vertical, the first button is #1, the one below it is #2, and so forth. If the buttons are in horizontal rows, the first button is #1, and the one to the right of it is #2. The numbers work like a type writer after that. In rows of 4, the first button of row 2 will be button #5. So, to review, getting in to the debug menu looks like this:
COKE MACHINE::::::
————
[ Coke ] <– Hit this button last
[ Coke ] <– Hit this button second
[ Diet Coke ] <– Hit this button third
[ Sprite ] <– Hit this button first
[ And so on ]
————-
Some text should show up on the LED (probably the word “Error”, we’ll explain what it means next sections). If nothing happens, your machine doesn’t have the debug menu.
NAVIGATION
To navigate from option to option (What they are is next section), remember the numberings we gave the buttons. They work as follows:
Button [ 1 ] - Exit/Back
Button [ 2 ] - Up
Button [ 3 ] - Down
Button [ 4 ] - Select
OPTIONS
Depending on the age of the machine, you will get a varying amount of default options available.
On older machines: SALE, VER, EROR, and RTN
On newer machines: CASH, SALE, EROR, and RTN
CASH - Machine Earnings Display
The CASH option will display how much money is in the machine currently. It generally takes a second or two to load. From here, you can scroll up and down through 12 or 16 different options, depending on the machine age. These other options display how much money was spent on each individual item, classified through its button (or slot, as I like to call it) number.
A neat side note about the slot numbers is that there are more slot numbers than there are actual slot, so usually the last 4 buttons contain zero money. This could be so that the same OS could be used on bigger machines, but the newer machines have even more slot numbers.
SALE - Total Sale Count
The SALE option displays how many drinks have been sold out of the machine. This tends to be cumulative, but not on all machines. The stock guy is probably supposed to reset this each time he re-stocks. Also, this has the same sub-options as the CASH option, where you can scroll up and down and see how many drinks have been sold from each slot.
VER - System/Machine Version?
This option will cause a large alphanumeric string to scroll across the LCD. The number looks very much like a serial number, but doesn’t vary from machine to machine. It is most likely the OS or machine version number, but of the older machines that have the option, I haven’t seen one that doesn’t have the same number.
EROR - Error Log
There are 8 different types of errors - COLJ (Column Jams), VEnd (Vend Mechanism), door (Door Switch), sels (Select Switch), CHAR (Changer Errors), acce (Acceptor Errors), StS (Space-to-sales errors), and bVal (Bill Validators). The separate types and actual errors are useless, as you assumably can’t get inside the machine, BUT(!) you can clear the errors. Hold the enter (Number 4) button down for about 2 seconds, and it should clear the error.
RTN - Return
This is simply the return option. Selecting this will exit the debug menu. On newer machines, pressing the BACK button at the main menu will not exit, and RTN must be selected.
A side note: The menu can also be exited by pressing the coin return button.
EXTRAS
By holding in the coin return button and not releasing, on the newer “big-button” machines, this will display the internal temperature in Fahrenheit, as in “42F”.
CPO - Coin Payout Mode
You can can dump coins from the coin mechanism, and the various menu options allow you to choose which type of coins (Nickels, dimes, etc.) are dumped.
tVFL - Tube Fill Mode
This is useless to you. This allows you to load coins into the coin tubes, which you can’t do from the outside.
TEST - Test Routines
This allows you to test the following various routines:
SE Allows you to test the buttons. Will give you number
of button when you press it
SP Sold-out paddle test. Not quite sure, most likely internal function.
Su Sold-out switch test. Same as paddle.
CO Motor test. Will run various column motors.
Cn Coin test. Put in a coin and it will tell you what kind of
coin it is.
nA Note acceptor test. Same as Cn, but for bills.
dSP Display test. Will illuminate various LEDs.
vErS Rattles off version number.
RELY - Relay test
This tests the relay electronic control of various parts. Do not do, as it will cause damage if various internal parts are not unplugged before usage.
PASS - Password
This is not normally accessible, but allows you to change the menu password from the 4-2-3-1. Whoo!
PrIC - Price Setting
Used to set the price for a drink. Not sure how to work it, but it seems simple enough.
StOS - Space-to-sales routine
Lets you change the STS routine and other options. This means that various buttons will all mean the same thing, i.e. the 6 coke buttons don’t actually vend from 6 different columns, but vend from one (changing when one runs out of course).
COn - Machine Configuration/Permissions
This is the machine config menu that decides what of these options you are allowed to access through the outside panel. This is probably only accessible with the door open. I won’t go into detail, but I’ll list the Config numbers and what each do: C1 sets price menu on, C2 sets special (manufacturer) options on), C3 disables the “ICE COLD COKE” message. C4 is autoviewing of menu when door is opened, C5 is door switch status, C6 is mysteriously reserved for “future use”, C7 determines whether your money credit stays in for 5 minutes or indefinitely, C8 is Force Vend, C9 allows multiple vends without putting in more money (i.e put in a 5 and get 3 cokes and then your change), and C10 is Escrow Inhibit.
CCoC - Correct Change Only Control
Adjusts Correct Change only rule to your liking.
TIME - Time Adjustment
Allows you to set the machine’s local time.
LANG - Language Selection
Not sure how many languages are supported, but there are apparently more than just English.
