Ok, yes i know another long delay since i’ve actually posted any content… Well here it is.
I’ve recently become entangled in the fact that any sort of wireless encryption is a joke! heck I’m even typing this blog post on a WPA2 PSK enabled connection which took a few days to get into using various handshake and injection type attacks. So in my search for better and faster internet i’ve come across the awesome modem/router combination provided by Telstra Bigpond. This of course is the Thompson Speedtouch which is also used for all sorts of other ISPS world wide.
Turns out it’s another easily accessible access point and usually goes by SSIDs such as “Bigpond9429a4″ for example. Because the information is really in-depth read this article in full view to get the full scoop.
The documentation below was released around 2009 and was meant for modems issued in or around that time, and my goal is to make any modem from 2008 to 2010 come to the same fate, because right now it’s not do-able as far as i know. I’ll be doing all of this and documenting it with a follow up blog post as soon as i get my new equipment which is being shipped from Hong Kong.. Lame i know the postage takes ages, it totally said five to six days but it’s been like ten!
On the full article i’ll provide the information i’ve located from different sources which will help me get to where i need to be and hopefully help you get the information you need and is also very relevent towards Australian ISPs or any ISPs which use the Thompson Speedtouch modem.
Hello Readers!
It’s been a while since i’ve done some sort of post, so here i am just letting you know i’m still actually alive!
Well it’s a beautiful Friday morning and i’ve actually got the day off due to a public holiday in my area which means sitting in the sun, tweaking with some footage / photography hang out at the beach and blah blah. Right now i’m extremely hung over due to drinks which took place at work last night, so i’ve just been sitting here since six in the morning watching YouTube videos, and i’ve found some i really need to share.
Don’t get me wrong i hate Justin Bieber just as much as the next guy, but this recent finding i’ve made is absolutley amazing, it almost sounds as if hes gone over to Enyas place and she’s put him through some sort of awesome Enya type style training.
Normally a three minute song, once stretched at about eight hundred percent it goes down to a thirty minute minimal chill out track, the benefits of this song is the ability to not actually hear what he is saying whilst at the same time just being totally chilled out by the track itself.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s an early 20th century cyberpunk sky city flying thousands of feet in the air.
According to the word on the internet this is the new Rapture: it’s not a crumbling secret dystopia for the elite, it’s Columbia, a flying (literally) spectacle of American Achievement that hovers around the world showing the Russians and their communist friends exactly how fantastic Uncle Sam is.
The US City of Colombia floats on giant airships, moving from country to country as a beacon of great American endeavour… until that is, something goes horribly wrong. According to online reveals Ken Levine – who’s heading up the project – Colombia was always more than a symbol – it’s “armed to the teeth” like a 1912 Death Star, a secret that ends in disaster.
I’m not putting anymore information here as it’ll totally spoil the storyline, if you require more… Google It!
This is a series of vintage ads for current websites as imagined by Brazilian advertising agency Moma. Mmmm, I can almost smell the old magazines.
the ads were designed for an upcoming media seminar with the overall theme of “what’s new today, is old tomorrow”, so they retro stylized Facebook, Youtube and Skype (and Twitter, not in English).
It was inevitable that the Lost epilogue “The New Man in Charge” would leak online in advance of its official release as a special feature on the upcoming DVD and Blu-rays for Lost: The Complete Sixth and Final Season and Lost: The Complete Collection.
The 12-minute epilogue to “Lost,” which is included in the DVD box set that releases Aug. 24, leaked online this afternoon. And honestly, it’s like the good, ‘ol days again, when we all pored through pages of Lostpedia and tried to figure out if obscure references made by Benjamin Linus actually contained meaningful anagrams.
The epilogue, in which Mr. Linus plays a prominent role, may not explain everything. But it does cover the following much-debated topics: the island’s pregnancy issues, the presence of polar bears, Walt’s specialness, the relevance of Room 23 and the Hurley bird.
Gates, Buffett lead campaign to persuade America’s wealthiest to donate their fortunes

Bill Gates, left, and Warren Buffett, seen in this 2007 photo during the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting in Omaha, are trying to persuade other American billionaires to give at least half their wealth to charity.
A little over a year after Bill Gates and Warren Buffett began hatching a plan over dinner to persuade America’s wealthiest people to give most of their fortunes to charity, more than three-dozen individuals and families have agreed to take part, campaign organizers announced Wednesday.
In addition to Buffett and Gates — America’s two wealthiest individuals, with a combined net worth of $90 billion, according to Forbes — 38 other billionaires have signed The Giving Pledge. They include New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, entertainment executive Barry Diller, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, energy tycoon T. Boone Pickens, media mogul Ted Turner, David Rockefeller, film director George Lucas and investor Ronald Perelman.
“We’re off to a terrific start,” Buffett, co-founder and chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, said in a conference call also attended by Bloomberg and San Francisco hedge-fund manager Tom Steyer and his wife Kat Taylor, founder of OneCalifornia Bank.
Buffett said he and Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, and Gates’ wife Melinda made calls to fellow billionaires on the Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans — in many cases, people they had never met — to try to persuade them to join the giving pledge.
“We contacted between 70 and 80 people to get the 40. A few were unavailable. We don’t give up on them. Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future. We’ll keep on working,” Buffett said.
Bloomberg, who made the bulk of his estimated $17.5 billion fortune from financial news and information services company Bloomberg L.P., said it didn’t make sense to leave everything to his children and have them go through life as members of “the lucky sperm club.”
“You don’t want to leave them so much money that it ruins their lives,” Bloomberg said. “You want kids who can look back and say, ‘Yeah my family helped me but I did something on my own.’”
Added Steyer: “We need to support each other. I look at this as replanting your garden so that future generations will have a full bounty of crops.”
The United States has roughly 400 billionaires — about 40 percent of the world’s total — with a combined net worth of $1.2 trillion, according to Forbes. If they all took the pledge, that would amount to at least $600 billion for charity.
The 40 names that have pledged to date have a combined net worth surpassing $230 billion, according to Forbes. Several of them have said they plan to give away much more than 50 percent of their wealth. Buffett has promised to donate more than 99 percent of his wealth.
The pledge is a moral commitment to give, not a legal contract. It does not involve pooling money or supporting one cause or organization. It’s up to each person who signs the pledge how to divvy up their wealth.
This guide will show you how to jailbreak your iPhone 4 using the new JailbreakMe.com. In case you actually need a guide.
The iPhone Dev Team’s JailbreakMe app can be accessed through the Safari web browser on an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
The iPhone Dev Team has released a legal hack for the Apple iPhone 4. The JailbreakMe tool can be accessed through the iPhone’s Safari web browser, and enables users to download and install a variety of software and programs on their handset that have not been officially approved by Apple.
Last week, the US Copyright Office ruled that it was legal to “hack” a mobile phone in the US in order to run applications or to use a different mobile phone network. However, Apple warned that hacking an iPhone, a process known as “jailbreaking”, would void the device’s warranty.
The JailbreakMe hack works on iPhones, iPads and iPod touches running iOS 4 and iOS 4.0.1, but is not compatible with devices running the iOS 4.1 beta. There have been reports from some uses that the hack causes problems with FaceTime, Apple’s video-calling program, and the multimedia messaging functionality of the phone.
Indeed, the hack is proving so popular that some users have reported problems downloading the jailbreak, because the iPhone Dev Team’s servers have been overwhelmed by the number of visitors.
Apple has played down the significance of the hack’s release, and of the US Copyright Office’s ruling.
“The vast majority of customers do not jailbreak their iPhones,” said Apple in a statement. “This can violate the warranty, and can cause the iPhone to become unstable and not work reliably.”
This guide also works for a variety of devices:
iPod 1G on 3.1.2
iPod 1G on 3.1.3
iPod 2G on 3.1.2
iPod 2G on 3.1.3
iPod 2G on 4.0
iPod 3G on 3.1.2
iPod 3G on 3.1.3
iPod 3G on 4.0
iPad on 3.2
iPad on 3.2.1
iPhone 3G on 3.1.2
iPhone 3G on 3.1.3
iPhone 3G on 4.0
iPhone 3G on 4.0.1
iPhone 3G[S] on 3.1.2
iPhone 3G[S] on 3.1.3
iPhone 3G[S] on 4.0
iPhone 3G[S] on 4.0.1
iPhone 4 on 4.0
iPhone 4 on 4.0.1
Ok, here’s the long, drawn out process.
On your iDevice, open Safari.
Go to JailbreakMe.com.
Slide to Jailbreak.
Wait a minute or so while it goes through it’s deal.
Enjoy a jailbroken iDevice.
That’s it! Thanks to comex et al., you’re all set.
The guys at Intelliborn have just released My3G version 4.14, which now supports FaceTime over 3G. Or, as they put it: “Facetime over 3G!!!”
This app, which convinces other apps that they’re on WiFi instead of 3G, is a big one that will probably attract a lot of first time jailbreakers. Like 3G Unrestrictor, it works around iOS’s 3G/EDGE restrictions, allowing you to download files bigger than 10MB, play full-res YouTubes and use apps like Sling Player and FaceTime. Can’t wait to see how the video performs over 3G… and how long it takes to crash AT&T’s network.
It’s available on Rock now and it should be up on our repo shortly, we’re getting hit pretty hard today. Be sure to let us know how it works in comments.
Quote:
- In-App popup request to enable/never ask for My3G to be enabled for that app
- In-App indicator when My3G changes the network from 3G to WiFi
- Ability to select which apps are My3G enabled and not.
- Default Apps – no configuration for the most popular apps!
- SBSettings Toggle! You can temporarily enable My3G for all apps or toggle back using your defined Apps list
- Dynamic enablement – Higher successs rate (near 100%) then 3G Unrestrictor (which does one off solutions for apps). My3G enables 3G indicators more dynamically.
