dc414 is now hosting a tor exit node on our main server!! That’s two nodes running full time under the dc414 banner!

Here is the info on the tor server on dc414 – http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=0df6b76f92abbad09dfef4f2e3748c9ad75fe12c

Here is the info on the tor server I run from my house – http://torstatus.blutmagie.de/router_detail.php?FP=D6859BFF04AD1267DFC7B5646ED2A304B824FC21

I hope others follow our lead and set up exit nodes where ever they can! Got one running now? Comment to this post or send it in to us and we will drink a beer in your honor, for a job well done!

For the cause!

As some of you might know I run a Tor exit relay from my home connection. I got this in the mail the other day:

Hello and welcome to Tor!

We’ve noticed that your Tor node dc414 has been running long enough to be flagged as “stable”. First, we would like to thank you for your contribution to the Tor network! As Tor grows, we require ever more nodes to improve browsing speed and reliability for our users. Your node is helping to serve the millions of Tor clients out there.

As a node operator, you may be interested in the Tor Weather service, which sends important email notifications when a node is down or your version is out of date. We here at Tor consider this service to be vitally important and greatly useful to all node operators. If you’re interested in Tor Weather, please visit the following link to register:

You might also be interested in the tor-announce mailing list, which is a low volume list for announcements of new releases and critical security updates. To join, visit the following address:

https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-announce

Additionally, since you are running as an exit node, you might be interested in Tor’s Legal FAQ for Relay Operators (https://www.torproject.org/eff/tor-legal-faq.html.en) and Mike Perry’s blog post on running an exit node (https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tips-running-exit-node-minimal-harassment).

Thank you again for your contribution to the Tor network! We won’t send you any further emails unless you subscribe.

Disclaimer: If you have no idea why you’re receiving this email, we sincerely apologize! You shouldn’t hear from us again.

Yay my node is now stable!! Now we just need to get one running on the dc414 server 🙂

Ngharo got this started with going around the room and asking everyone what they have been hacking and what they plan on hacking on next, then talking about some improvements to the dc414 server, such as how it is now fully IPv6 friendly and some improvements to the VPN. Then I gave a demo of how BeEF when used with Metasploit can pwn browsers from the inside out. dw5304 stepped in and showed us how to use the windows 7 UI on windows 8 with out having to worry about updates messing things up. Then Noize stepped up and gave us all a great introduction to Subterfuge, a MITM framework that utilizes arp attacks. Then I attempted to give another demo but failed, more on that later 😉 We spent the rest of the night drinking, eating cupcakes “thanx darkwinds wife” and loling at horror pics of server rooms and wiring closets. Congrats to Castor, Tony, and Peppergomez for winning the dc414 free junk giveaway!! Enjoy your junk guys 😛

We got $42 in donations which paid for the pizza and some of the beer with nothing left over for the server :/ which cost about $71 a month. Remember your donations are what keeps dc414 running smoothly for YOU!!!!

November 2012 Meeting Recap

We had a great turnout this meeting.  At least 4 new people showed up!

The night started out with introductions and updates on any member projects going on.  It was interesting to hear the new people give a quick overview of what they’re interested in.  We hope to see them again next month.

We started the fun with Anarchy giving a remote demo of BeEF and Metasploit.  It was very interesting and raised many questions (which is always a good thing).  He demonstrated how to take over a browser session using a BeEF JavaScript inclusion in IE.  BeEF relied on XHR requests to a HTTP server it had launched to execute code on the client’s browser session.

Darkwind gave another demo of FLEX pager decoding using his modified scanner radio which piped audio into his laptop that had software running to decode the FLEX protocol.  Always interesting to see potentially private information flying around over old school pagers.  Still very popular in the medical and alerting agencies.  There was a lot of interesting discussions happening and projects to look at while the projector showed incoming pages.  T3 had his oscilloscope and was looking at ethernet signals, which is very neat if you haven’t seen it.  One can identify physical problems in cable just by looking at the patterns.

F4R4D4Y donated items (covert lock-picking set and roll of solder) for the free junk giveaway which went to Castor and CoderDX.  Thanks for everyone pitching in a few bucks to keep the server up and beer flowing!

Til next time…

September meeting recap

Last meeting was awesome as always, we had some good demos and new faces which is always great. Ngharo started it off going around the room and asking ppl what they hacked last month and what they plan to hack next.

I gave my fakeAP demo to get credit card numbers or sniff traffic. The CC part failed :/ but the sniff part worked like a charm!! Then dw5304 gave a demo titled “Cable hacking for fun” and talked about how to get online anonymously with cable modems, getting almost unlimited bandwidth, modem cloning and lots more. Faraday came packing with some lithium ion batteries and big ass LEDs he gave out “to make flash lights out of” and stuff for making your capacitors which is always fun.

Then I spent the rest of the night drinking beer and yelling in to a ham radio, so I didn’t take any pictures. Congrats to uberushaximus for winning the dc414 free junk giveaway!

Here is a link to the github fakeAP pwnage project, it only works with Backtrack 5 and could use some improvement.

Here is the slides to dw5304’s Cable hacking for fun:
