How to Weaponize your Cat to Hack Neighbours’ Wi-Fi Passwords

What do you expect from your cat to come back with?? Perhaps with a mouse or a bird – none of your use. But what if she come back with your neighbours’ wifi details? Really Interesting!

A creative security researcher has found a way to use his pet cat mapping dozens of vulnerable Wi-Fi networks in his neighborhood.

Gene Bransfield, a security researcher with Tenacity, managed to turn his wife’s grandmother’s pet cat Coco into a roaming detector for free Wifi networks by just using a custom-built collar, which was made from a Wi-Fi card, GPS module, Spark Core chip, battery and some fetching leopard print fabric.

Bransfield dubbed his experiment “Warkitteh” – on the concept of “Wardriving”, where hackers used unsecured Wi-Fi connections from a parked car. He decided to turn his cat into a hacker because he found the idea amusing, and also because cats are the one that consumes as much as 15 per cent of internet traffic, with the popularity among the internet users.

Bransfield explained his experiment “Warkitteh” at DefCon, a hacker conference that is taking place this weekend in Las Vegas, in his talk titled “How to Weaponize your Pets”.

The WarKitteh collar isn't meant to be a serious hacking tool, more of a joke to see what's possible. 

“My intent was not to show people where to get free Wi-Fi. I put some technology on a cat and let it roam around because the idea amused me,” Bransfield, who works for the security consultancy Tenacity told Wired. “But the result of this cat research was that there were a lot more open and WEP-encrypted hot spots out there than there should be in 2014.”

During a three hour trip through the neighbourhood, his pet cat Coco mapped 23 unique wifi networks, including four routers that used an old, easily-broken encryption and four routers that were left unprotected entirely and could be easily broken.

Bransfield mapped those WiFi networks in a program created by an Internet collaborator that uses Google Earth’s API, which is demonstrated in the video given below(Youtube video removed). The number of vulnerable access WiFi points were really surprising for Bransfield. According to him, several WEP connections were Verizon FiOS routers left with their default settings unchanged.

Warning — Facebook Color Changer App is Just a Scam, Infects 10000 Users

Scammers have again targeted more than one billion active users of the popular social networking giant Facebook, to infect as many victims as possible.

This time, an old Facebook scam is back in action once again!

Malicious Facebook "Color Changer" app has resurfaced again on the popular social networking site Facebook, this time compromising more than 10,000 people worldwide.

The malicious app promises users to change the characteristic blue colour of Facebook’s header and interface to one of nine other colours including pink, purple, green, yellow, orange and black, in order to infect users’ phones and computers with malicious software.

Researchers at China-based Internet company Cheetah Mobile have detected the “Facebook colour changer” that tricks Facebook users into downloading the app via a malicious phishing site.

The phishing website targets users in two ways:

• First of all, it steals the users' Facebook Access Tokens by asking them to view a color changer tutorial video,which allows hacker to connect to the victim’s Facebook friends.
• If the user doesn’t watch the video, the site then tries to get them to download the malicious color changer application, in order to infect their systems with malware.

However, PC users are lead to a bogus site to download a pornographic video player, and Android device users are issued a warning saying their device has been infected and advised to download a suggested application.

According to the researchers at Cheetah Mobile, the problem stems from "a vulnerability that lives in Facebook’s app page itself, allowing hackers to implant viruses and malicious code into Facebook-based applications that directs users to phishing sites."

The new color changer app has affected Facebook users in several countries but this is not the very first time it has happened before, according to Cheetah Mobile's security researchers.

Facebook has become Number 1 social networking website with more than one billion active users this year. Hundreds of people join the social networking website everyday. On the other hand, with the increase in popularity, Facebook also serves as a great and useful platform for scammers and falling victim to such scams is very simple.

So here’s what you can do in order to protect yourself from this threat. Follow these steps:

• Realize there’s no way to customize your Facebook with an app
• Do not click any link which suggests otherwise
• Even if the link suggests it’s heading toward an Official Facebook Page - DO NOT TRUST IT

But, for those who have already installed the app should uninstall the app straight away and change their Facebook account password. To prevent further problems we suggest you to completely turn off FACEBOOK APP platform, and install a trusted security application to your devices.

Remember, there is absolutely no friendly way to change the color of your Facebook. You can only customize your Facebook account or page by adding any of your other profile photo and a different header image through your normal Facebook settings - That’s it!

Android Network Toolkit (ANTI) Review - Pentest at the push of a button

Android Network Toolkit (ANTI) Review - Pentest at the push of a button

This Post reviews the newly released ANTI3 version. We've received a platinum account of ANTI3, before its official release, and this is our review:

Recently White-Hat Hacker, Itzhak "Zuk" Avraham, the founder of zImperium unveiled its new app in Blackhat / Defcon19, introducing a new concept where both home users and local IT can have the same tools to, at the push of a button, check for their security faults. The new zImperium product, namedAndroid Network Toolkit (or in short - ANTI), allows professional penetration testers, ethical hackers, IT and home users to scan for security issues in their network.

In a few simple clicks ANTI covers the most advanced attack vectors in order to check for vulnerabilities, even those that up until now could only be performed by top-notch penetration testers. This means that while you might think that you’re safe because you have a firewall on, with ANTI you can check and prove it (or add it to your penetration testing report if you’re doing this as a job). Know if your desktop is easily hackable only a few clicks away by using the ANTI “Penetrate CSE” button, which will perform both MiTM and inject Client Side Exploit to check if you have the latest version of a vulnerable software (e.g: outdated java). You only need to imagine re-producing this using other currently available methods to appreciate why ANTI has gotten so much respect from our community.

“Penetrate CSE” is part of the newly released ANTI3, which covers more vulnerabilities than before. The authors at zImperium will keep improving this product and add even more vulnerabilities in the future.

Upon successful client-side / remote exploitation, the report is updated with the current findings that a specific computer wasn’t patched for a certain vulnerability. Performing MiTM and injecting exploits has never been so easy for the professional penetration tester and is now also available for the home-user and the IT - you don’t have to be a security guru to run security checks!

ANTI runs on Android version 2.1 and up, while CSE vector only one of several capabilities that makes this tool very powerful, especially when it runs on your smart phone!

ANTI won the “Hack Tool of the Year 2011 Award” by THN, PCMagazine’s editor’s choice and many other prizes for a reason. Here’s a short video describing ANTI’s features:

The app is also capable of mapping your network, scanning for vulnerable devices or configuration issues. It is for use by the amateur security enthusiast home user to the professional penetration tester, ANTI provides many other useful features such as: easy connection to open ports, visual sniffing (URLs & Cookies) and - establishing MiTM attacks (using predefined and user-defined filters), Server Side / Client Side Exploits, Password cracker to determine password’s safety level, Replace Image as visual in demos and Denial of Service attacks. All this is packed into a very user-friendly and intuitive Android app (and soon to be released iOS app).

As zImperium chose to enable ANTI via their website, rather than through the market, thus the APK is installed manually by a few simple steps:

Go to http://www.zImperium.com/anti.html and follow the instructions there. You will receive a download link to your email. Open this link from your smartphone and then install the app as instructed. (Make sure that 3rd Party Applications is enabled in Settings->Applications->Unknown Sources.)

iOS users can join the list of upcoming (public) BETA testers in the same page, by clicking on the Apple icon.

On each run, ANTI will prompt to map the connected network, and when done, it will suggest scanning it for known vulnerabilities and misconfiguration on the targets found. Once a vulnerable target (to remote attacks) is found, it will be marked with red stamp and will appear on the report as a vulnerable device. Displayed in the report is the issue (e.g : MS08-067), how to solve the issue (Windows Update) and how to defend from similar threats in the future (Block port 445 on firewall).

We start by mapping the network - ANTI will scan and detect devices connected to the network. Each device will be displayed with a suitable icon identifying its hardware type and/or the operating system. We can then further scan for vulnerabilities on each of the devices found.

Now that we have our available targets displayed, we can choose any of them to try and penetrate, connect, or sniff network traffic.

The sniffer captures network traffic and displays images, URL’s, user/password combinations, and cookies - all this is collected from the target in real-time, and displayed on ANTI for viewing and examining. We can click on any of the URL’s/cookies to visit the same site our target is visiting.

ANTI also allows us to connect to open ports on the targets, also displaying the opened ports that were found on previous scans. 

After playing a bit with the app, I feel comfortable enough to try and penetrate one of my computers, running Windows7 or Mac OS X that are updated only to 1 month prior to this report. I choose the target and click ‘Penetrate CSE’. This plug-in is injecting javascript code using MiTM into target's traffic and redirect traffic to a URL serving Client Side Exploit. Once the target got exploited, ANTI reveals several functions that can be executed over the exploited target: Send screenshot of the current desktop, execute command. The controller functionality is implemented in a very easy-to-use and fun (!) way, allowing both advanced users and home-users to understand the risks of the found vulnerability - while zImperium censored any real possibility to cause real damage to the target, they allow basic information gathering and real life demos such as ejecting the CD-ROM, or grabbing a screenshot (for the assessment’s final report).

I decided to try the password-cracker on my router. I then realized (the good old hard way) that I better change my password ASAP since it took ANTI less than 30 seconds to crack! Next I executed the cracker on my target running a SQL server and, lo and behold, ANTI didn’t discover the passwords - due to use of high complexity passwords. These results were enough to get me to (finally!) change my router’s password.

There are additional functionalities built into ANTI, such as a unique and fully functional HTTP server that allows publishing files on your device, as well as uploading files to the device, visual traceroute using google-maps, and more. 

Once we are done testing, the most important ANTI function is the Report - Everything we have found in the network, vulnerable devices, opened ports, and extra information that will later assist when preparing the assessment report - all is summed up in text and emailed. ANTI3 supports multiple networks so now you can fully use it for your daily penetration tests. And everything is extremely user-friendly! Couldn’t ask for more I guess: 5 Stars out of 5!

Please do not try any of following methods if you are not familiar with mobile phones. We'll not be responsible for the use or misuse of this information, including loss of data or hardware damage. So use it at your own risk.



So in this topic, you'll get several hidden secret codes which can be used in any Google Android mobile phone to access things which are not accessible by default.

FYI These codes have been obtained by decoding various .apk files present in the phone firmware.

*#*#4636#*#*

This code can be used to get some interesting information about your phone and battery. It shows following 4 menus on screen:

* Phone information
* Battery information
* Battery history
* Usage statistics

*#*#7780#*#*

This code can be used for a factory data reset. It'll remove following things:

* Google account settings stored in your phone
* System and application data and settings
* Downloaded applications

It'll NOT remove:

* Current system software and bundled applications
* SD card files e.g. photos, music files, etc.

PS: Once you give this code, you get a prompt screen asking you to click on "Reset phone" button. So you get a chance to cancel your operation.

*2767*3855#

Think before you give this code. This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware.

PS: Once you give this code, there is no way to cancel the operation unless you remove the battery from the phone. So think twice before giving this code.
