This is a howto for ubuntu - but i guess it’d be easy to translate to a general debian distro.To enable audio in .3gp files in mplayer you need to recompile, but don’t worry - it’s done in a few simple steps.

This is another post in the ‘fun with arp’ series I’ve started. I will show you how you can eavesdrop on the MSN Conversations of your friends and enemies. This is an ARP hack, so it only works on a LAN. I described in the “Howto hack the computers in your LAN” post how you can use arp packages poisoning/spoofing to route all traffic on a switched network through you computer. We are going to use the same technique here, with some adjustments.

This is what we want to do:

• Eavesdrop on a users Msn Conversations

This is how we’re going to do it:

1. Poison the arptables of the target and the standard gateway to make all traffic go through us
2. Filter out the packages that contain the MSN messages

I am going to show you a way to have fun with the users of your lan. The idea i got from Upside-Down-Ternet article written by -someone-. He/she described how to play a trick on the neighbours that was leeching off his wireless, by turning all the images on the websites they were surfing on upside-down. It’s a fairly simple deal when you are in control of the network’s gateway, but if you are just connected to the lan like everyone else, you need a bit of low-tech hacking.

This is what we want to do:

• Make the target send all http packet to us instead of the gateway
• Forward them to the real gateway
• Modify the replay, with the pictures upside-down
• Forward the replay to the target

This is how we’re going to do it:

1. Poison the ARP table of the target
2. Set up our pc as a gateway router
3. Send all http requests through a squid proxy
4. Turn images upside-down with a squid script

How and where do you get music on the net? I am of course not talking about legit sources like iTunes, but all the other free alternatives. When I am downloading music I face these two questions:

1. What download medium do i use? (what program, what website etc.)
2. How do I find the new cool tracks i want, when I don’t yet know the name of them?

I’ll give you a small guide to the methods I use. I am a dj and therefor i need to get new music, preferably before it gets popular, that is a big challenge. I’ll go through a few approaches:

I bought the Pioneer HDJ-1000 dj headset some time ago, and I am really satisfied with it. The only problem I’ve had is that right side broke one time. I know other people have had the same problem, so I figured I’d post how to fix it. The weak spot is the link between the half circle that holds the speaker and the ball-joint (that says L). I wore them outside on a really cold winter day (about -25 C, (yes.. I live in Norway)), and the plastic got crisp as a cracker. The joint just snapped when i took them off my head. A good tip is to NEVER the the headset off with only one hand, thats how you break it.

Bryggequart er Halvors legendariske årlige bryggefest han arrangerer hjemme hos seg i Kristiansand under qvartfestivalen. Skinnende sol, knallvarmt i lufta og nesten enda varmere i vannet gjorde dette til den beste sommerdag i år! Ca 15 av mine nærmeste venner og sikkert 80 ikke fullt så nærme venner gjorde kvelden til en kjempefest! Jeg Kenneth og Fredrik kom til Kristiansand på torsdag før festen, og fikk oss en forsmak på hvor fett sørlandet kan være om sommeren, men det var ikke før på lørdag at det virkelig brakte løs!
