Hacking a $20/One-time-use-camera.. For many a’ use.

As most know, I’m a huge fan of the free stuff… Open source software is a great example. But what about hardware? Well, there are ways to get your tangible goods for almost nothing… Assuming you’ll be staying within legal boundries.

I wanted to find out how to hack a cheap, $20 reusable camera.  I currently own a canon sd 1000 which I absolutely love, but again, I like the free stuff. This is what I stumbled into…

What a great trick, huh? Doesn’t replace my canon sd 1000, but it certainly gets the job done.

Sending email through your local host through WAMP or XAMPP

Sourced from: Roshan’s Blog

It’s not hard to start pulling out  your hair trying to send email through your localhost using wamp or xampp…  Here’s how.

1) Open the “php.ini“. You should know where it is located because it depends upon the particular server you’re running.

2) Search for the attribute called “SMTP” in the php.ini file.Generally you can find the line “SMTP=localhost“. change the localhost to the smtp server name of your ISP. And, there is another attribute called “smtp_port” which should be set to 25.I’ve set the following values in my php.ini file.

SMTP = smtp.wlink.com.np smtp_port = 25

3) Restart the apache server so that PHP modules and attributes will be reloaded.

4) Now try to send the mail using the mail() function ,

mail(”you@yourdomain.com”,”test subject”,”test body”);

you might get the warning like this,

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: “sendmail_from” not set in php.ini or custom “From:” header missing in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\testmail.php on line 1

5) Now specify the following headers and try to send the mail again,

$headers = ‘MIME-Version: 1.0′ . “\r\n”; $headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1′ . “\r\n”; $headers .= ‘From: sender@sender.com’ . “\r\n”; mail(”you@yourdomain.com”,”test subject”,”test body”,$headers);

Well that’s all, the mail is sent to “you@yourdomain.com” from the localhost.

Note : Some smtp server verifies the email address of the sender so the email address which is in the place of “sender@sender.com” should be a valid and existing email address otherwise mail might not be sent to the “you@yourdomain.com”.

Buying new technology

I'm one of those guys who really likes gadgets… I always end up putting my technology on credit cards… Fortunately I pay them off right away… The best credit card company I've found is a company called Mint… Much better services and support than most CC companies.

So, this is the latest technology I want… it increases your wifi range… looks awesome. Here's a review about it.

hField Technologies’ Wi-Fire is a compact high-performance USB Wi-Fi Adapter for Mac and PC that extends the Wi-Fi range upwards of 1,000 feet.

My solutions included hardwiring—too easy. Setting up a router? Forbidden. And as this epic conundrum reached a head, an epiphany hit me like a ton of bricks (as they tend to do). However, this epiphany came in the form of a small device called the Wi-Fire from a startup company that I had never heard of. The device triples the power of the internal receptor, making it virtually impossible not to get a signal, regardless of where you are.

Any input would be great!

onHacked, onVandalized, onRobbed, and onThreatend …

By who? By a few dorks who call themselves: onW!red Yes, a design company here in America hacked my local network, vandalizing and robbing valuable data. During the attack, they were threatening lawsuits and litigation. For what? Nothing really… they just let their ego get the best of them.
