PS3 got hacked
One of the best man on earth, surprised everyone with his exploit which can hack the Play Station 3. That man is GeoHot, the famouse guy who have hacked all iphone firmwares so far, and the author of blackra1n jailbrake and unlock.
On January 26, he published on his bog, that he achived to disable one of the most powerfull any hacking system so far, Hypervisor. the PS3 allows users to run ordinary Linux if they wish, but it still runs under management by the hypervisor. The hypervisor does not allow the Linux kernel to access various devices, such as the GPU. If a way was found to compromise the hypervisor, direct access to the hardware is possible, and other less privileged code could be monitored and controlled by the attacker.
Hacking the hypervisor is not the only step required to run pirated games. Each game has an encryption key stored in an area of the disc called ROM Mark. The drive firmware reads this key and supplies it to the hypervisor to use to decrypt the game during loading. The hypervisor would need to be subverted to reveal this key for each game.
“Basically, I used hardware to open a small hole and then used software to make the hole the size of the system to get full read/write access,” Hotz told The Register. “Right now, although the system is broken, I have great power. I can make the system do whatever I want.”
This is a great news, and even that i dont own a PS3, now im thinking about buying one. I cant aford buying those expensive games, but its just a matter of time when we all will have the chance to run and play pirated games on the Play Station 3. For sure we can all download very soon software which will do the needed modification on the PS3 firmware. We’re looking forward for that, and it will be a honor to notify our visitors about this.

Iphone 3GS waterproof
I read that on web that Iphone 3GS is a waterproof device from and this weekend i went to lake. I saw a video on youtube a week ago, a guy was recording with his camera, and he put his Iphone 3GS on the pool while he was recording and i said amazing the iphone didn’t stop recording because it was working all the time. So i simply put the device on the lake while it was on stand by for a 5 second, and after that i pressed the HOME button, and the iphone was working so i said damn it really worked.
I was happy just for a few minutes till i chose to call my brother on the iPhone. I unlocked the iphone, opened the keypad and dialed his number. I was not hearing the key pressing tone, but i thought maybe my cell phone is on silent. I entered his number and pressed the dial button, and i was waiting for the ring, but for more then 20 seconds i could not hear it. I hanged up and retried but again no voice from the speaker. I tried calling my carriers automated number, which opens the line automatically, the seconds started to count but still no sound. I put the phone on loud speaker and i was Finlay hearing a sound from my Iphone 3gs, and i realize that the speaker has a problem now. I felt that something else might be wrong so i started testing the wireless, GPS … all worked i was lucky. Another problem was the camera which was full of water. I had to use a fan to dry it and i was lucky again 
, drying the phone fixed the speaker problem too.
1. Shut Down the iphone when you use the fan to dry it, fan it for 10-15 minutes with hot air,
2. Make sure that the iphone wont get two hot because you might damage the battery, switch the fan to cold air from time to time.
3. Remove the SIM slot, to dry it better.
4. If its a first generation Iphone remove the cover, for 3g and 3gs you might unscrew the dive to open it up for better drying. You have many videos on youtube on this topic.
Conclusion: A month ago my girlfriend’s Iphone 3G got in the pool for more than one hour, and drying it with a fan again fixed everything and the device from that day works without any problem at all. Even that Iphone is not an waterproof device, still is very resistant against water. However beware of salted water, because you might not be able to fix it with a fan because the salt can cause corosion on the device and its unable to restore it, you will have to replace many parts which can cost you more than buying a new iphone .

Magic Jack Sip Info
If you would like to use magic jack with third party software such as asterisk PBX, ekiga, x-lite, eyebeam, ATA boxes, or any other simmilar device with FXS / FXO port and softphones, you can do it thanx to an application wich captures the sip credentials. I found many tutorials on this topic, but most of them are outdated because magic jack has upgraded many times their software and they don’t work anymore. Fortunately a tool from STROTH worked today. I was just curious to see if it really works because i do not plan to use magic jack for US termination at all.
The tool can be found at http://revolution.hackthisbox.com/joo/component/content/article/1-latest-news/39337 and you should download the latest version. At the time I’m writing the latest ver is 1.6 and here is a screen shot.
As you can see the application is very simple, and you can do various trick with it not only to get the sip credentials from Magic Jack. To make it work, first you must have the magic jack plugged in your PC USB slot, and then click on Get Currunt SIP Information. Withing few sec it will show you the Username (Exxxxxxxxxxx01 where xxxxxis your phone number), password and sip server. This tool will also keep record of your latest sip info and you can retrieve them later without even plugin the Magic Jack. Pretty cool, now you can configure any sip device or soft phone with magic jack for incoming and outgoing calls. You can download the Magic Jack Suite 1.6 tool directly by clicking here.
I tested my magic jack sip info with iphone (first gen) and iphone 3gs using SipPhone app which is pretty cool, however i will continue using betamax companies as provider because their rates are unbeatable by the others.
Zdziarski’s Video 2 – Unecrypted data
How to read unecrypted data such as sms, call numbers, emails, pic and more from Iphone 3GS video
Zdziarski’s Video 1 – Remove lock code
How to circumvent the iPhone 3GS’s password protection using the backup function in Apple’s iTunes software video
Iphone 3GS security
Iphone is one of my favorite tools, i cant even use a nokia cell phone now (it was my prefered manifacturer), but its security is way to far from the one that i was expecting from apple iphone. Deleted voice mail, e-mail, and other data on the iPhone 3GS is vulnerable to hackers.
I wrote a post which which helps people to remove the iphone lock code, during which procedure they will have to lost all data on the Iphone. Well i have a good news, not anymore. But if you lost an iphone and you have private data on it, you should be worried that they might get public soon. An iPhone developer and forensics instructor, demonstrates how user-created iPhone password can be easily circumvented. In the other video, Zdziarski shows how a hacker familiar with the iPhone could download a raw disk image that would provide personal information, deleted voice mail and email, information stored in the keyboard cache and an abundance of other data.
In the first video, Zdziarski explains how a hacker could use readily available freeware utilities, such as iRecovery, PurpleRain, and RedSnow, to circumvent the iPhone 3GS’s password protection using the backup function in Apple’s iTunes software. The whole process is demonstrated in less than a seven-minute video. You can watch this video by clicking here.
In the second tutorial, Zdziarski uses software tools available to law enforcement, but easily recreated by an experienced hacker, to download an unencrypted raw disk image from an iPhone 3GS. “The so-called hardware encryption doesn’t actually offer any real encryption, because the iPhone as its sending the disk image automatically decrypts it for you,” Zdziarski said. “So it’s as if the device has no encryption whatsoever.” You can watch this video by clicking here.
Unlock Nokia and Samsung for free
If you have a Nokia or Samsung mobile, which is locked to your carrier, you can unlock them for free thanks to a cool website which i found. The website is URL is http://www.peters1.dk/unlock/nokia/online.php?sprog=en and it supports many models of Nokia and Samsung cell phones, a list of which i have included on that site.
The website works for real, i tested it on 2 old samsung mobiles and one nokia cell phone. The procedure is very simple, you will have to select the cellphone model which you want to unlock and the site will give you step by step instructions. No sign up is necessary, and you are not reacquired to enter any credit card or debit card info at all. Also the website has a translation engine and which was cool because the web site is in danish. This way i saved several dollars on my credit card bill, because other sites asked me to pay for unlock. Good luck i hope your model is included.
Purplesn0w – unlock alternative for 3gs
Are you bored of ultrasn0w? Do you face many difficulties after installing ultrasn0w? I bet you hate it, but you still love your new Iphone 3gs. Good news there is an alternative software unlock for the new Iphone and its called Purplesn0w by GeoHot (who relased the first jailbrake, purplera1n).
I wrote in my previous article for unlocking about ultrasn0w, and then i have updated it two time with the problems im having and a fix for them. But the problems never stopped, and now i have problems with the battery, which is more powerful than the previous iphone generation batteries, but it get discharged too quickly. So i would advice you to give a try to the purplesn0w. First you wont have to install ultrasn0w, you can download ultrasn0w toggle for sbsettings from cydia and simply disable it for a while.
The download process is simple, just like ultrasn0w first you will have to add a purplesn0w’s source at cydia: apt.geohot.com . Then you should install com.geohot.purplesn0w from cydia, wait for the installation to finish and simply reboot the Iphone. Thats all, simple and effective just like purplera1n is.
Use it folks, and you wont regret

How to purplera1n iphone 3GS
Only 15 minutes ago I finally got my Iphone 3GS, and the first thing i did with it, it was the jailbrake. I decided to do it with purplera1n since it was the first software to do it, and i wanted to try something different them a dev-team tool. I did download it from their website, as an exe file so there is no need to extract anything.
The purplera1n user interface is very simple, just only one button names “make it ra1n”. The software comes with no documentation at all, but dont worry because you wont need it. All you have to do is to connect the iphone 3gs to the USB port of your PC and click the “make it ra1n” button. The software first will detect the phone and see if it is an iphone 3gs, and within 5 seconds it will put the iphone automaticly into DFU mode (recovery mode), and you dont have to press the power and home key at all which was really cool. For less then a minute the software finished and the device will be restarted. I really was impressed, it was so fast and clean, no boring wizards and messages on the screen, everything was so perfect and easy. Everyone who can handle a mouse, can jailbrake the iphone 3gs. No problems at all, and here is my purplera1n log file:
INFO: welcome to purplera1n for windows
INFO: loaded dll at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\iTunesMobileDevice.dll
INFO: button clicked

INFO: running the geohot command
INFO: I JUST DROPPED IT LIKE ITS HOT
WARN: wtf who called this?
INFO: global callback finished
INFO: unused callback called
When the device got restarted, i could not see cydia on my iphone screen, but dont panic. First connect the device to a WiFi hotspot (or you can use the carrier’s internet) and you will see a new icon blank icon named freeze. Open freeze from your iphone and click on Install Cydia button (but make sure that you are connected as i said). Within few minutes depending on the internet speed and cydia server speed, cydia will be downloaded, unpacked and then installed on your iphone, and you will see finished on the screen.
But still no cydia icon wont show up on the screen, because you have to restart once again the iphone by holding the power button and slide the bar when it will show up on the screen. After restart cydia icon will be visible and you can run it by touching its icon.
Once you get cydia, if your iphone is locked, you can also unlock it thanks to ultrasn0w, and the procedure is the same as in my older post for iphone 3g, and you can check it out by clicking here. The whole procedure took me less them 10 minutes, realy impressive thanks to the fast speed processor on the new iphone, which makes the device to work very fast on booting and navigating. And make sure that you turn off 3g data on your iphone, because this might make ultrasn0w not compatibile with some mobile operators. This was a problem for me, i turned the 3g off, then reinstalled ultrasn0w and rebooted the iphone, and then i got carrier network working for me.
Update 1: Huh i had to edit my post, even that jailbraking was piece of cake, the unlocking using ultrasn0w for like 1 hour was playing with me. As soon as i got the carrier working, i lost my wifi connection, my new iphone 3gs was not detecting any of wifi networks in my neighberhood. This problem is beeing coused from ultrasn0w 0.8, but dont worry i fixed it and its easy. All you have to do is to reset the Iphone (yeah i know boring but once again is the final one) by holding power and home button, and dont let them go until the iphone will get shutted down, and the apple logo apears again on the screen. Now you will have both the carrier and wifi working as they should. I hope tomorow new problems wont show up, so I wont have to update again.
Update 2 the last one :) : Now im having issues with the battery of my new iphone coused from ultran0w so i advice you to use purplesn0w instead of ultrasn0w, more information for purplesn0w can be found by clicking here.

Reset Iphone lock code
In case you have forgat your iphone lock code, or you are a lucky bastard who have found an Iphone on the street and you unable to find its owner, good news you can reset the lock code. To do so first you have to put the iphone to DFU mode and here is how you do it:
Step 1. Turn off your iPhone.
Step 2. Hold down the power and home button.
Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the home button down.
Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that its in restore mode.
If Itunes tell you that you’re in recover mode, now you can restor your iphone in to its original state, which means that Iphone will remove the lock code and you can set a new one later.
The only negative side of this procedure is that you will lose all the saved data and application on that phone. If you restore the Iphone you will also have to jailbrake and unlock it (if needed) once again. You can find more information about unlocking and jailbraking on the IPHONE category link, on the right menu panel.
