Reversing Patterns in the Game of Life [no solutions, just questions]

noreply@blogger.com (a2480f25) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 13:08:00 +0000

So basically what I want is this : to get a RST simple figure from an even more simpler structure that has rules like the Game of Life.

Now the problems that arise are this :

1. What shape should be the initial one.
2. How to compute the rules.
3. How to make rules so that the logo is generated from a single point with a minimum number of steps.
4. How to determine the initial figure so that given a very simple (the absolute simple) rule it will eventually evolve into the logo.

Ideas ?

Troian (rootkit) foarte raspandit pe iPhone Blackberry HTC - CarrierIQ [security]

noreply@blogger.com (a2480f25) — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 13:27:00 +0000

Recent, un cercetator a descoperit acest rootkit.
Acum, se pare ca este instalat inainte de cumparare, dar si dupa (fara consimtamantul utilizatorului), de catre companiile de retele mobila / wireless Sprint si AT&T.

Este un troian adanc ascuns in kernel, el urmarind tastele -> parolele, toate conversatiile, discutiile, locatia, tot.
Acesta este capabil sa trimita informatiile inapoi catre serverele carrieriq.com chiar daca telefonul este in mod avion.

Rainbow Tables spreadsheet helper

noreply@blogger.com (a2480f25) — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 12:19:00 +0000

I made this "tool" so that you can create configurations for perfect rainbow tables in a snap.

Let me explain.
So you want to create a rainbow table set with a total success probability of 99%.
You need to set the perfectTableSetSuccessRate to 0.99.
Next you benchmark your rainbow tables generator and set the step speed.
And voila you get all the nice an shiny *cough* numbers.

For example you want to create a rainbow table set for numeric#15.
keyspace = charSetLen^PasswordLen = 10^15
Using the default bruteforcepoint (bfpoint = 10000) you get a chainLen of ~200k for the 4 rbt set.
Now you move to the testing area where you enter the desired chainLen and numTables and find the expected unique chains (euc) to be 5756500000.
That's about it.

Just generate these perfect tables with the Cryptohaze GPU rainbow tables generator and you're done.
md5_numeric#15_0_200000x5756500000
md5_numeric#15_1_200000x5756500000
md5_numeric#15_2_200000x5756500000

RSTcore v2

noreply@blogger.com (a2480f25) — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 07:55:00 +0000

A iesit la suprafata si versiunea a doua a acestei distributii virtualizate a sistemului de operare Windows XP.
Pe scurt : in paralel am lucrat la doua versiuni, prima pe care am scos-o era de aproximativ 3 GB, aceasta are 1.3 GB, arhivata [RAR] doar 567 MB.

Nu are ceva deosebit fata de prima, doar ca am testat-o de multe ori + ocupa mult mai putin spatiu.
Enjoy.

PS: Scuzati confuzia intre versiuni. Prima versiune este v1, nu v0.1.

Bad news for our sourceforge mirror - FreeRainbowTables

noreply@blogger.com (a2480f25) — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 17:29:00 +0000

quel wrote on the FRT forum :

Well, sourceforge is out:

Hi rcracki_mt admins,

We noticed that you all had uploaded 87GB of data to your project FRS
space for downloading. We can't host that amount of data. The team has
removed this data so as to eliminate the impact to other projects.

We still have a chance with mininova's free bittorrent content distribution, but it's a long shot.
Hosting and seeding (free of charge) more than 1.7 TiB of data is hard.
It's a miracle that the GARR mirrors are still up.
I'd like to thank the admins (especially Enrico) for helping the project !

Rainbow Tables Mirror Updates - FreeRainbowTables

noreply@blogger.com (a2480f25) — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 08:52:00 +0000

At the moment, quel is mirroring all the available RTI rainbow tables from the GARR mirror to sourceforge rcracki_mt project. Hope we don't hit a bandwidth limit too soon.

With my 100Mbit connection I did a little download speed test on one of the sourceforge mirrors.

Julian Assange: Why the world needs WikiLeaks

noreply@blogger.com (a2480f25) — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:35:00 +0000

About this talk

The controversial website WikiLeaks collects and posts highly classified documents and video. Founder Julian Assange, who's reportedly being sought for questioning by US authorities, talks to TED's Chris Anderson about how the site operates, what it has accomplished -- and what drives him. The interview includes graphic footage of a recent US airstrike in Baghdad.

Cryptohaze release : GPU rainbow tables generator and cracker linux x64

Yes, the first release is working only on linux x64.
All you need is a CUDA compatible card + the proper drivers and a linux OS (ubuntu 10.04 and 9.10 should work fine).

GPU Rainbow Tables - CryptoHaze

noreply@blogger.com (a2480f25) — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 19:10:00 +0000

A friend of mine, Bitweasil @ CryptoHaze.com is working on HUGE GPU driven rainbow tables.
This week he released the MD5 Length 7 full US charset (95 chars = mixalpha-numeric-symbol32-space *) rainbow tables, total size 34.5GB.

Download and seed the tables, the cracker is still in beta, but it will be released between 9 and 11 July.

You should also check the forums for the inside scoop.

* mixalpha-numeric-symbol32-space = [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!@#$%^&*()-_+=~`[]{}|\:;"'<>,.?/ ]

XP ? 0-day ! patch it.

noreply@blogger.com (a2480f25) — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 23:01:00 +0000

M-am trezit şi eu ca Bulă să-mi protejez XP-ul deşi ştiam că vulnerabilitatea (CVE-2010-1885 ; 2219475) e publică de ceva timp.

Variante Windows afectate :

Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows XP Service Pack 3
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Service Pack 2
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2
Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition Service Pack 2
Windows Server 2003 with SP2 for Itanium-based Systems

Cum scăpaţi :
pe scurt : stergeţi HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HCP din registry. (recomandare: faceţi backup la cheile sterse)

pe lung :
Start -> Run -> scrieţi regedit -> click OK
navigaţi la HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HCP
click File -> Export -> salvaţi drept "hcp_backup.reg" unde doriţi pe HDD.
click Delete şi ştergeţi cheia.

M-am uitat peste google analitycs şi am observat că destui (>80%) din cititorii blogului meu nu şi-au facut update încă, deşi au trecut deja 9 zile de la anunţul oficial.

În concluzie vă dau mură în gura linkurile către update-uri.
Nu trebuie decât să le instalaţi.

Azi mi-am reinstalat Kaspersky Antivirus să văd ce au mai modificat, cum se mai comportă etc.
Papă mai puţine resurse ca în iarnă după câte văd, 57-80 MB versus 120-200 MB.

În orice caz am făcut un rescue CD cu el pentru cazuri de urgenţă.

Am introdus o pagină numită "linkuri externe" unde vă voi ţine la curent cu blogurile/site-urile/forumurile ce le consider eu de calitate din România şi externe. Pe lângă toate acestea voi posta linkuri către software utilitar, dar şi legat de securitate.

De fiecare dată când voi face update linkurile noi se vor afla în partea de jos a listei existente, iar sus, ca titlu al paginii va fi data ultimului update.

UPDATE Până la urmă se pare că am mai facut o pagină cu twitter security updates :D

Flash implementeaza P2P !

noreply@blogger.com (a2480f25) — Wed, 19 May 2010 13:46:00 +0000

Pot spune cu mâna pe inimă că această zi e una memorabilă în istoria internetului. Aştept momentul de 3 ani, presupun ca un pas important a fost chiar Bittorrent DNA, care i-a motivat pe cei de la Adobe să accelereze ritmul.

De acum în colo totul va fi schimbat. Tehnologia peer-to-peer ( de la computer la computer ) va uşura distribuirea fişierelor video pe internet, serverele nu vor mai suporta sutele de gigabytes trafic, iar voi vă veţi putea bucura de viteză şi calitate superioară la (şi nu doar la) video-clipurile / filmele care rulează direct în browser.

This is the beginning of a new era.
The P2P era.

Am bucuria să vă anunţ ca mi-a ieşit trucul de mult visat : veţi putea instala RSTcore şi pe HDD-ul personal !

Folosind un tool vechi şi extrem de uşor de folosit (Norton Ghost 8.0), am facut o imagine la (.GHO) la partiţia boot-abilă din discul VirtualBox, et voilà.

"Instalarea" versiunii RSTcore pe HDD-ul personal nu va dura mai mult de 5 minute !
Iar imaginea poate fi stocată pe un singur CD/USB stick, ceea ce vă va salva de multe bătai de cap, în caz de urgenţe.

More to come !

Notă : cel mai simplu mod de fi up-to-date cu progresul proiectului RSTcore, este să vă abonaţi la feedurile RSS / Twitter

noreply@blogger.com (a2480f25) — Sat, 08 May 2010 19:48:00 +0000

Am creat această imagine VirtualBox pentru a veni în ajutorul tuturor pentesterilor.

Aceasta este versiunea "RSTCore v0.1 alfa", conţine deocamdată doar programele utilitare gen browser, registry cleaner, etc, "optimul" necesar pentru întreţinerea unui Windows XP. Mai jos aveţi o listă cu programele instalate. Am făcut mai multe tweak-uri pentru a securiza sistemul în prealabil.

Pornind de la această versiune, voi adăuga programe pentru a-l face un mediu optim pentru : programatori, pentesteri, pasionaţi de reverse engineering şi... cam atât deocamdată.
Îl puteţi folosi ca punct de start pentru versiunea dvs. personalizată de windows virtualizat.

Mai jos aveţi un tutorial video creat de subsemnatul, în care este explicat modul de instalare al acestei imagini (vdi) VirtualBox.
Tot ce trebuie sa faceţi în prealabil, este să instalaţi VirtualBox.
