Hacking Wifi

If you ever wondered what I do with whatever free time I have, much is usually none, I have been playing with hacking/cracking wifi. Wifi has become a very prevalent technology, almost every home that has more than one computer, has a wifi router. Wifi by design is very insecure. It’s very difficult to keep wireless signal from escaping your house, and very easy to “catch” stray wifi signal. Here is a video on how to hack/crack wifi using a Mac, a program called Kismac and preferably an external wifi card that supports packet injection. I use an Alfa AWUS036H, it works great. Keep in mind it is illegal to hack a wireless router without permission, so leave your poor defenseless neighbors alone.

Here is the video…..

Gesture Remote for Our God, the TV.

In this time and age of touch screens, wii-motes and mouse gestures.  Hitachi has come up with a Gesture based TV remote to control our illuminated God.  Who said you can’t get some exercise watching TV?  Now to change the channel you have to wave your hand, or whatever *they* decide. I can imagine how much more exciting the struggle for remote control will be?  Wrestling, grappling, feats of strength, it will be great.  The whole time grappling for control of the illuminated God. All the while, it is going crazy trying to read of all the motions, flipping channels, zooming in and out, picture in picture, volume up/down.  It will be great.  We will have to duke it out, old school to become the ultimate commander of the illuminated God.  He will be at our beck and call.  We will control if we want our news slanted to the left, or slanted to the right.
