EVDO Hacker

Recently I have been playing with Maltego, and boy am I impressed. While playing with it I decided to run some peoples names I had Investigated in the past and I was honestly shocked on the amount of information it gathered on these people.

I only wished this was around when I was working as PI it would have made my life easier. Not only was I able to gather information related to the individual, such as phone, email, I was able to find websites that had visited and other services that i could track that person down with!

This can also be used for the Skip Tracer who needs to locate a dead beat debtor who thinks they are safe on the internet. They could not be more wrong! The paper trail always is inevitable and is always traceable.

From the demo we saw from mubix on cocktails with Hak5, of the new version of Maltego, only makes me want it that much faster

This software will be a wonderful addition to your already extensive collection of resources, and should be in everyones tool bag! Once you try it, you will love it!

Do you have a USB720 and your interested in using it with BackTrack3 or some other Linux Distro!

Then you found the right place!

You will need to follow these directions to get it working.

<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

cd /etc/ppp/peers

wget http://evdohacker.com/verizon/verizon

wget http://evdohacker.com/verizon/verizon_chat

chmod a+x ./verizon && chmod a+x ./verizon_chat

pppd call verizon

<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>

Some people will need to do this command if there are errors

modprobe usbserial vendor=0×1410 product=0×2110

Thats it, have fun!

Currently, I have a project in Alpha development which is called DarkMapper.
With out spoiling the project, I guess you will just have to read in-between the lines!

Pentesters Visual Interface

Here is a list of languages, which may be required on this project we are seeking:

Perl

Python

PHP

VB

If you think you’re up to it, please contact me. However, we will make inquiries about your skillz.

interesting map of zombies I am making from nmap scans

I am using IP and country geographical information to show relevance to the spread of this specific botnet

you can find a map of geographical locations of some of the zombies already found

click here for the map

yellow dots = visitors to my site

white blobs = snort violations

black square = botnet activity

WARNING: this is not the exact location of the visitor/snort/botnet, this only marks the ISP location

WARNING: theres locations only mark unique locations from my logs

I recently purchased a wilson trucker antenna and adapter specific to my usb-720. Apon finding out that I am tethered to a wire while using it. I wanted the freedom of wireless, but also wanted a stronger connection. The problem i had was that the fmc connector would take the main connection on my evdo modem.

I took the evdo modem apart and inspected it for another antenna port. To my amazement there is a aux. port on the bottom of the card. They use 1 hi-rose connector per port

So I had one for the main port and one for the aux port. The aux. port is proprietary to the manufacture of the card and is used for testing purposes.

I took the fnc connector and cut the end off

I cut the hi-rose wire in half

I then soldered the (+)/(-) wires, and used some liquid tape to keep them from shorting out.

By doing it this was I am able to use the MAIN and aux. antenna connections at the same time. and its easier to just leave the DIY antenna mod, connected and just connect to the wilson antenna when at my house!

Backtrack3 Beta was released yesterday. I am hosting both files for the community, so Merry Christmas I will keep this up as long as possible. So download it, test it, and leave feedback at the official wiki at offensive-security

Go ahead and get all that HTTP goodness, you know you want to!

This site is dedicated to my exploration is the world of EVDO! Here you will find the information for the hack seen on Hak5.org’s episode 3×05. As seen on that show this mod cost a whole three dollars to make and is very cost effective, and preforms wonderfully compared to the factory made flip-up antenna.

I made this mod because of the lack of signal I get while at my house! While on the move it was not so bad! I would drop a signal every now and then. I was really disappointed with the fact I was paying 60.00 per month for this service and I had yet to experience the broadband connection I was promised!

So pondering this, I started my research. I first started by seeing what options I had, how much such options would cost, how portable is it, and if it required other proprietary equipment. Lets just say I really did not want to invest that much money!

So I continued my quest for the, oh so elusive Broadband Internet connection and decided to find the operating frequencies that my service provider operates on. I had found that Verizon uses 800-1900 “give or take 100 mhz.” I did some research on they types of antennas offered in this range and the design concepts. I tried my hand at making a few of them, and they did work, but they all had something or a combination of things i did not like about them. They were: to bulky, to big, to flimsy, or not cost effective!

So i decided to try test one more idea. I did some research and found some software to help in the calculations needed to find the needed elements length. Once that was found, I then needed to find the right diameter filament needed for the antenna. I tried many different items “which must be metal” and with trial and error i located it!

I cut the length of the element to 4″, and started playing with it. I disconnected the usb-720 and inserted the element, reconnected the modem and did a speed test. To my amazement I was getting a better connection and was able to connect to Rev (A)! w00t!

Now its the fun part, tuning it!

This part was nothing more then snipping a small amount off the antenna till i got a better signal. So I would watch the meter provided by the verizon dialer and repeat the process over and over again till i was happy with the amount of signal I was recieving.

Just a rule of thumb, you do not want to be less then 3.5″, anything less your not operating in the proper frequency range any more!

From here i still am not finished!

I needed to find a way to support the element and make a ground plane for it! So i looked around and located some springs. I used 2 different springs, one of them, i pulled on it to stretch it out, this was to make it connect to the connector on the evdo card. I sniped off, one end from each spring and made a slight adjustment to make them contact each other.

I then located some rubber tube which just fit inside the spring and prevented the element from grounding out and killing the signal!

well thats just about it!

I spent 2 months playing w/ this antenna and i love it!

Happy Hacking!
