Do you like this story?

There has been a lot of commotion in the Indian Hacking scene lately, and I expressed some pretty strong views regarding that. When it comes to hacking, every other guy tends to tape the "hacker" word with his name/codename without even realizing its significance. Then there is Facebook ...Have a look at it -

Seriously guys..what were they thinking ?! I am still counting the number of “Indian Cyber Army” India has and the number of groups tend to increase recycling all the content, same VIP forums, same deface techniques, zero original research.
Then there is Ankit Fadiya...dont let me even get started...

In the end tired of all the bullshit around, I decided to cover an article on the REAL INDIAN HACKERS (or Hackers of Indian Origin), folks who are actually dedicated to security and are hackers in real sense. Lets start, shall we ?

Pranav Mistry

The famed 6th sense developer,Pranav Mistry is a research assistant and a PhD candidate at MIT Media Lab.SixthSense has recently attracted global attention. Among some of his previous work, Pranav has inventedMouseless - an invisible computer mouse; intelligent sticky notes that can be searched, located and can send reminders and messages; a pen that can draw in 3D; and a public map that can act as Google of physical world. Pranav has commercialized his invention, the sixth sense and SixthSense is now being actively used at NASA. It is rumored that Facebook tried to acquire the technology from Pranav for a reportedly $2 billion and 5% ownership of Facebook, but Pranav decided to open source it instead.

Thats what any real hacker do. Hats Off to him.
Here you can read more about him at Amarjit’s Blog

Koushik Dutta or “Koush”

“Set Your Phone Free..”

Rings a bell ? Koushik Dutta or “Koush” is responsible for Clockworkmod recovery and Rom Manager for Android rooting and the core member of famed UnrEVOked team. He has been a .net developer from heart and had his internship initially at Microsoft and is a former MVP. He decided to leave Microsoft and hack Android cellphones like there was no tomorrow. Sony approached him after geohot humped them like anything but he politely declined .

Bravo for his efforts, we are able to root painlessly using UnREVOked.
Now only if UnrEVOked can release UnrEVOked 3.33 soon :)

Vivek Ramchandran

Vivek Ramachandran has been working in the computer and network security domain, in some form or the other, for the past 7 years and has worked with Industry giants like Reliance, Cisco, Microsoft. He was among the Top 10 Indian finalists in the Microsoft shootout competition among the list of 65000 participants. Then he decided to join Airtight Networks and there discovered Caffe Latte attack attack along with his colleague MD Sohail Ahmad from Airtight Networks ,the wifi hacking technique that doesn't required you to be in active vicinity of the wifi zone.

That said, he is one of the researcher to lookout.

Almost everybody at NULL Security Community & Garage4hackers
I said it before and I will say it again, the Only active Indian hacking community is NULL community, and the best Indian Hacking Forum where real hackers meet is garage4hackers.com hands on.

Shoutz to garage crew :)

Folks at Indian Honeynet Chapter
Now we are talking..Indian Honeynet chapter is the collaborative effort of the best geeks and hackers .The focus of honeypot is on Worms and Botnets and developing an Open Source tool to study and counter brute force attacks/ phishing through wifi. Its also being setup as potential web-app honeypot,and aims on improving detection and forensic techniques. Heading the ship are L Shriram, K K Mookhey, Amit Chugh, Asim Jakhar and a lot of professionals who are dedicated in the field of computer security.

Hari Prasad

The famed security researcher Hari Prasad is the winner of EFF Pioneer award, as he along with Alex Halderman, and Rop Gonggrijp were able to study an electronic voting machine (EVM) and found significant vulnerabilities that would not be difficult to execute. For his troubles, Prasad was arrested and jailed in August, held without bail in Mumbai for a week. Though he is now out on bail and in the United States, he still faces criminal prosecution for alleged theft of the EVM and other charges.

The genius of the Indian system is that instead of making machines tamper proof and more efficient, they arrested him.

According to the Indian news agency PTI, the magistrate who released Prasad on bail noted that "no offence was disclosed with Hari Prasad's arrest and even if it was assumed that [the electronic voting machine] was stolen it appears that there was no dishonest intention on his part...he was trying to show how [electronic voting] machines can be tampered with."

Jayant Krishnamurthy

Jayant Krishnamurthy is a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science, CMU and his interests include are machine learning, machine reading, common sense reasoning, information extraction, knowledge representation, and their applications in AI and NLP (shamelessly taken from his website). He is one of the researchers who are behind designing MD6 algorithm (yeah you heard it right, the evolution of MD5). He is a top level computer theorist and researcher and is a real life hacker. He teaches computer and network security and you must ahve a look at the problems and solutions at the given link.

For the lighter side,you can have a look at the funny flash movie based on his real life experiences at high school.

I guess, you now have an actual idea of the Indian hackers now :) These guys are real and are deemed worthy of having the hacker emblem with them.

Making a drying rack

Photo: IKEA.com

Materials: Baby bed Sniglar

Description: For drying our printed candy we needed a drying rack. Of course it is much cheaper and easier to have Ikea make it.

Unfortunately they don't have such an item in their collection, but if you ignore the Ikea instruction manual and simply try to build the rack in a way you think a rack should be built, this is what you get.

Camera LUNS

Materials: LUNS Writing/magnetic board, two 7" wireless camera monitors

Description: While looking for a message board at IKEA, I came across the LUNS board and liked that it served as a key rack as well. When I brought it home and opened the packaging I saw that it only came with two hooks. This would be a problem because our big family has many sets of keys. So instead of the two key hooks that came with the board, I used five brass cup hooks I had lying around.

Don't worry-- there's more to this hack.

A few days after I put up the LUNS magnetic board up in my kitchen, I bought a wireless Uniden surveillance system for the house and had two camera monitors set up on the counter close by. They started getting in the way so I was thinking about hanging them on the wall when I realised they might fit inside the mail compartment on the bottom of the message board. I unplugged one of the monitors, set it inside, and voila: it was a perfect fit!

I placed both monitors inside and added some scrap cardboard to the back so it was a tight fit. The power cables looked messy so I later decided to run the wires behind the wall to the power outlet underneath. I had to drill a small hole through the board to run the wires through but I didn't have to make any other modifications.

Rad RETUR Bathroom Cabinet

Materials: nine 6" wide RETUR recycling bins, 1 Wall Pops! Stripe (a 6.5" x 12' adhesive decal), plastic paint scraper or squeegee, off-white duct tape, x-acto knife, cutting mat

Description: My small bathroom lacks both a linen closet and an under-the-sink cabinet. I was unable to drill shelves into the wall due to wiring, and I hate the look of over-the-toilet shelving units, so I created this cabinet to store my partner's and my toiletries. It accommodates all of our stuff and adds some visual interest to an all-white bathroom.

We have the unit sitting on our toilet tank because of the wiring issue, but I think it's is sturdy enough to be hung on the wall, and attractive enough to be used anywhere you need storage!

RAST goes global

Materials: Rast + decoupage+ new brass fittings

Description: I have been very inspired by the other Rast hacks posted here, especially the ones with brass hardware attached to look like a travel chest. Being a map nerd, I decided to combine the two.

1) Stain the frame with dark oak wood stain. I applied around 3 thin coats

2) Cut maps to size, stick down with PVA glue + coat with clear matte varnish

3) Whilst this is drying (takes forever!), age brass-effect corners using a solution of vinegar, lemon juice & salt. Take out to dry once tarnished.

4) Construct drawers, add antique brass handles & affix brass corners. Voila!

I actually have another one waiting in the wings but made a crucial error at stage 2 involving me gluing the maps on upside down... Be sure to have the ridge at the bottom when you paper over the fronts or you will be very disappointed!

BRANÄS/GARNITYR Nightstand

Materials: BRANÄS, GARNITYR, L-profiled Aluminum bars, L-shaped brackets, screws, white paint, epoxy glue

Description: Me and my Gf wanted a nice nightstand, quite small and nicer that the ones offered by ikea...we were already leaving the shop when at the very end we noticed a BRANÄS box...and then the idea began.

We started by assembling BRANÄS, the holes to carry are supposed to stay on the sides.

The bottom is then glued (by the metallic parts) to give some stiffness and the L-shaped brackets screwed like in the picture.

Expedit sideways cat tree

Materials: Any furniture Expedit series, two or three little selves, polyethylene foam (or manila rope), two scratching boards

Description: The aim is to create a space in which the cat can climb to the top of the main shelf, finding footholds in their path, they can also serve to drop to the floor when he wants.

The shelves must be small, cannot occupy the entire width of the Expedit. You can cut a shelf EKBI Laiva, although I reuse a piece of Pax wardrobe by cutting the right size.

Hang lamp

Materials: Two 4 armed lamps, piece of wood, cable and chain.

Description: I had two of the four armed Ikea lamps lying around for years. Was about to throw them in the trash, when I held them together and this idea came to me.

I cut out a piece of MDF and drilled holes for the cables to go out and through. Attached a hook for the chain and spray painted the inner part only.

BBQ grill table

Materials: Baby changing table TASSA, wooden board, wooden slats, ply wood, screws, teak wood glaze, clear paint

Description: When we bought our new grill, we didn'€™t like the offered stands. So we decided to build one.

I found the baby changing table TASSA (no longer sold at IKEA) on eBay and decided that it would be the perfect basis for our grill table.

Expedit Single Bed

Materials: 2 EXPEDIT shelf units 5x1, 1x Sultan Lade 90cm, 3 purple SKUBB boxes, non-slip under carpet material
Description: I saw quite a few double bed hacks using Expedit units here, but no single bed (90cm wide), so I thought I should submit my hack for this.

To start with, put the two units on the floor next to each other, making them 90cm wide - leaving an approx. 12cm gap in the middle. Cut some non-slip under-carpet material and place it onto the units so the slatted base won't slip around too much.

How to: Cut an Expedit down to 3X2

Materials: Expedit

Description: I needed an Expedit with 2 rows of 3 squares, but unfortunately it doesn't exist! I read somewhere that it is possible to find it from different shops, but none of them is available in Italy, from where I am writing! So I decided to try to create it.

Step 1: Look at the component and don't get discouraged!!

Lack Capita multi level media stand

Materials: Lack TV stand + capita legs and Lack side table

Description: I wanted a simple low stand for my AV equipment to go under the projection screen. The Ikea Lack stand was a perfect starting point due to its deep 24" top surface (my AV receiver is more than 19" deep not counting banana plugs). However, I also wanted a 2nd shelf to elevate my center channel speaker and give an additional spot for my bluray player.

I did some checking and found that the Lack Side table (the one for only $9.99) had the same depth and thickness, so it would make a perfect raised shelf. I thought about just doing it with the original Lack legs and cutting them to length, but I prefer the look of the stainless Capita legs and they also provide adjustment to level things if needed. In addition, they have a smaller footprint, which allowed my wider than average blueray player to fit in between.

So very simple, just assemble the main Lack sections, predrill for the Capital legs. I found the closer to the edge, the more solid wood was available. The Lack is hollow as you move inward. I used 6" legs for the bottom and 4" legs for the raised center shelf. For now the center channel shelf is just free standing, not attached permanently. I will probably go back and fix the legs with screws.

Organizing the Foyer

Materials: Billy Bookshelves, Benno CD Organizers, Bjarnum Hooks and Bjursta Bench.

Description: We live in Europe and our front hall is TINY. But we are 2 adults and 2 small children, and I needed a place for everything. All of the traditional wardrobes were too deep, so I turned to Billy. I made the doors myself with pine from the hardware store, stained and varnished them too.

You will need Billy bookshelves, the size and quantity depend on your needs.

I used used the Benno CD organizer to store all the little things that clutter my life: sunscreen, sunglasses, mittens, hats, cloth shopping bags, shoe polish etc. Since I have a lot of clutter I used 2, but created 1 door.

Babytoy lamp

Materials: A re-painted lamp skeleton meets a baby toy "Mula".

Description: A finding from the coarse trash - the lamp skeleton was painted into yellow. Together with a outgrown baby toy from Ikea and a matching lamp cable in red...

~ Pierre Ohlson, Stockhom-Avesta

Unique Chandeliers

Materials: 35 little Ikea Chandeliers + LEDING lamp

Description:
Who: Me and My Wife.
What: Made a big Chandelier from 35 little ones from IKEA.
When: 3 years ago.
Where: Lisbon, Portugal.

We unmounted 35 chandeliers crystal's from Ikea and mounted them in one Inox new structure we made ourselves.

From 35 Ikea pieces we created a unique chandelier.

The Light spots come from another Ikea Lamp named named LEDING. We bought from the As-is at IKEA.

We unmounted the light spots from LEDING structure and attached them to the new Inox structure then with many patience we mount all glass on the structure.

The result was a unique chandelier which was much cheaper than any one of the same size.
