Hacking

Whether it's hacking a neighbor's wifi or accessing a satellite network for free, I don't really care.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Hello fellow hackers and cyberpunk enthusiasts,

After 12 months of writing and research, I’m excited (and honestly a bit nervous) to share my first tech-thriller novella “Connection Timeout: The PingStarved Chronicles” with this community. This is my first time publishing fiction, so I’m both shy and thrilled to finally put it out there.

Set in 2030 Barcelona, it follows Andrés “PingStarved” Reyes, a 56-year-old. When mysterious forces target his old friend—a surveillance company CEO who sold out their shared ideals—and threaten to unleash chaos unless Andrés surrenders his greatest creation—a revolutionary mesh networking protocol that could free global communications—he faces an impossible choice.

What makes this different from typical cyberpunk:

Features real mesh networking protocols (Meshtastic, Reticulum) Based on actual security research and exploitation techniques Grounded in technologies currently in development Authentic hacker culture representation - written by someone who lives it NO DRM - All formats are DRM-free because information wants to be free This has been a labor of love, combining my passion for privacy tech and resistance against surveillance capitalism into a narrative that I hope resonates with our community. As someone who’s been hacking for years but never written fiction before, I poured everything I know and believe about our culture into these pages.

Details:

29,429 words (86 pages, 2-3 hour read) Available in PDF and EPUB formats Price: $4.99 USD / €4.99 EUR DRM-FREE on all platforms Available at:

Gumroad (DRM-FREE): https://rek2.gumroad.com/l/connection-timeout-cyberpunk Amazon Kindle US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FPZ18STC Amazon Kindle Spain: https://www.amazon.es/dp/B0FPZ18STC Also available on Amazon in UK, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Canada, Australia, and many other countries If you enjoyed Neuromancer, Little Brother, or Mr. Robot, this explores similar themes of surveillance capitalism, digital liberty, and technological resistance - but grounded in the real tech we’re building today.

Any feedback from the community would mean the world to me. Thanks for reading!

P.S. - For those who prefer open platforms, the Gumroad version comes with both PDF and EPUB, completely DRM-free. Support indie publishing and digital freedom!

So, I know this sounds a little stereotypical, but I'm terrible with people. I know that social engineering is an excellent tool and can speed up things like active recon, but I just can't figure it out. Does anyone know any resources for learning or just have general tips?

And if so, what are you most excited about?!

Hey everyone yesterday I was at a grocery store and I noticed suspicious WiFi networks and Bluetooth networks. I am quite tech savvy so I decided to investigate thinking it was probably just some skid. But when I opened Wireshark I saw the mac addressees for Cisco Merkari (A relatively advanced DPI program) , along with multiple other enterprise grade tools such as Fortinet and VMware. I have collected pcaps for both my Bluetooth and WiFi interfaces with Wireshark(available upon request). Does anyone have any idea could this be a government contractor? Or could it just be spoofed cause its relatively easy to spooph Mac addresses.

I really don't know how to explain but hacking is difficult to understand. Like I watched tutorials on Youtube, took courses and read many books but still I feel like I know nothing. Watching Mr Robot and other documentation made feel even worse, you might say Mr Robot doesn't portray the real world but the documentation do. Like this video I was completely baffled at how I didn't have a single clue how they did it what techniques they used.

After all that though, I don't want to give up on hacking, I want to learn more advanced stuff. If you have an recommendations please dm me or comment.

Sorry for my bad english learning to write too.

Hi as per above , Any1 have experience? Was given this bluray, it's still running old firmware, hesistant to upgrade, but was hoping for some kung fu firmware hack on the new firmware to be installed, to make this so 🤷. Have checked online and nada.

Hi folks, not sure if this is the right place but so please lmk if there is a better place to put this:

I'm currently attempting to reverse engineer yealink t41p IP phone firmware since the device is out of support for some years and but works very well imo. For security reasons and keeping the devices out of the trash, I would like to provide open source firmware for it. I recently learned how the process with clean room reversing works but I'm stumbling at the first step already. Here is what I attempted so far:

I don’t know anything about programming, and sadly I can’t differentiate between rubbish webpages and the real deal when it comes to stuff like that..

I also read about a couple of ios shortcuts that claim to be able to download private Instagram posts if you have the link to it.. is it true?

Apologies is this seems somewhat weird, I was using the reddit app on my iphone when I clicked on a tag in my search history and at the same time I noticed my flash go off on my phone. I suppose this could have been some strange hardware issue in my phone, but I suspected it took a photo. I checked my photo stream and there was nothing new. There is no log of events on my phone I know of, but I wondered if it was intentional. Curious if anyone here has any idea if it could have been something intentional (it taking a photo), or maybe some log info source I could check to see if it was legitimate hack.

I'm trying to find a good fuzzing tool for testing my web applications and was wondering what people would recommend. I'm trying to find one that is open source, free, and doesn't use proprietary stuff. It seems like Google's OSSFuzz is the closest option to what I'm looking for, but it uses Google cloud :/

Security researchers have discovered new Bluetooth security flaws that allow hackers to impersonate devices and perform man-in-the-middle attacks.

The vulnerabilities impact all devices with Bluetooth 4.2 through Bluetooth 5.4, including laptops, PCs, smartphones, tablets, and others.

Users can do nothing at the moment to fix the vulnerabilities, and the solution requires device manufacturers to make changes to the security mechanisms used by the technology.

Hey all,

I am looking into hacking TVs. Its well known they run linux most of the time, so we should be able to do some fun stuff with them.

I've found some guides, clips and other reference material online, but it isn't much. Do any of you guys have some reference material to help me on my learning journey?

A 3rd set of data has been published on the dark web, site says, as OPP continue investigation

does anyone have any idea what the new breach forums onion is? or why tor taxi and such don't share it anymore? is tor taxi or breech sussy?
