Website collecting donations for Japan hacked !

Mar 19, 2011
Hackers took down the website of a Tennessee nonprofit that was collecting donations for Japan and replaced the home page with profanity. Japan-America Society of Tennessee executive director Leigh Weiland said hackers broke into the site sometime Wednesday night. The group's web-hosting company was able to get the site back up Thursday morning. Before that, anyone trying to go to the group's home page encountered a mostly blank screen with an offensive phrase at the top. Weiland said her group, which promotes goodwill for and understanding of Japan, has established a relief fund for Japanese victims of Friday's earthquake and tsunami. The site has been getting a lot of traffic from people who want to donate money.

WiFi Hacking Is Now Legal in Dutch !

WiFi Hacking Is Now Legal in Dutch !

Mar 19, 2011
Breaking in to an encrypted router and using the WiFi connection is not an criminal offence, a Dutch court ruled. WiFi hackers can not be prosecuted for breaching router security. A court in The Hague ruled earlier this month that it is legal to break WiFi security to use the internet connection. The court also decided that piggybacking on open WiFi networks in bars and hotels can not be prosecuted. In many countries both actions are illegal and often can be fined. The ruling is linked to a case of a student who threatened to shoot down everyone at the Maerlant College in The Hague, a high school. He posted a threat on the internet message board 4chan.org using a WiFi connection that he broke into. The student was convicted for posting the message and sentenced to 20 hours of community service, but he was acquitted of the WiFi hacking charges. The Judge reasoned that the student didn't gain access to the computer connected to the router, but only used the routers internet con...

Wophcrack – Web Based Interface For Ophcrack Password Cracking Tool

Wophcrack – Web Based Interface For Ophcrack Password Cracking Tool

Mar 18, 2011
I'm assuming everyone reading already knows about Ophcrack – the awesome time/memory trade-off password cracker. Well here is a nifty web-based interface for it. Rainbow Tables are really useful when cracking password hashes, but one major disadvantage of these tables is their size which can be hundreds of gigs for complex tables. The author thought it would be extremely useful to have a personal web interface for your rainbow tables which you can access from anywhere on the web anywhere without having to carry the large tables with you everywhere you go. And well here we are, Wophcrack (Web) Ophcrack. When cracking LM or NTLM hashes Ophcrack is a great tool as we discussed recently, it provides both a GUI and CLI options along with some free and paid tables. The author basically wrote a quick and dirty PHP based web frontend for Ophcrack. Wophcrack was designed to work on Backtrack 4 R2, Although it can be install on any Linux distribution with some small adj...
