Of course, be careful and make backups first.

Tested on several PDF readers:

Will I use it for my Twitter account? No, I don’t need a program to disinform

Each time you run the program, it will post one random tweet. This tweet is generated from a templates file. Each line in the templates file is the template for a tweet. You can use variables (between curly braces, example: {location}) in the templates to increase the number of possible tweets. Variables and their values are also stored in the template file, after the template lines. Your template file must allow the program to generate at least 2 different tweets, because it generates a tweet different from the last tweet.

The program requires the twitter module, itself requiring the simplejson module.

And you need to create a credentials file (disinformational-tweets.cred) with the Twitter credentials of the account for which the program has to generate random Tweets. The first line of the credentials file has to contain the username, the second line has to contain the password.

A Firefox plugin to generate these tweets would probably be more ‘useful’, but hey, it’s a lazy Sunday.

From now on, winners of my little puzzles can expect a little prize (I’ll contact winners of past puzzles)…

I located a couple of backdoors:

Some cracks:

And even some keygens:

And the number of hacks was countless (1000+), here is a selection:

This is really disappointing, I didn’t expect my brand new Linux-based Nokia N800 to get infected so soon:

But not anymore, I’ve made a running light with security: you need a PIN to access the configuration switches!

The movie is hosted here on YouTube, and you can find a hires version (XviD) here.

Joking aside: I got a set of E-blocks from Matrix Multimedia for Christmas.

E-blocks are a suite of small circuit boards each of which contains a block of electronics that you would typically find in an electronic system. Each E-block performs a separate function as either an input sub-system, an output subsystem or a processing subsystem. E-blocks are connected together using 8 wire buses on 9 way D-type plugs and sockets.

My microcontroller is an ARM board. I develop the embedded programs on my laptop in C/C++, and then transfer the executable to the ARM’s flash memory via USB. Once programmed, the ARM executes the program independently, my laptop is disconnected.

To familiarize myself with the E-blocks, I started programming some simple applications, like a running light. And after that, just for fun, I added security…

As an IT security professional, you don’t often get a chance to say: “And in this picture, you see me mitigating risk”.
