A great hacker called samy kamkar, has created $32 hacking Ardiuno nano tool that can open your garage door and unlock your car

Hacker Samy Kamkar has created a $ 32 gadget that lets him unlock
almost any car and trick
garage door openers into
granting access. Like he did with the
USBDriveby tool he whipped
up to hack Macs, Kamkar
based his new hijacking
device on the Arduino Nano.
It's an elegantly simple design, and the way it pilfers unlock
codes is, too. For years now,
vehicle manufacturers have
been using single-use codes on
their remote locks. Press the
button on your fob and if the doors unlock, that code will
never work again. Rolljam
performs a man-in-the-middle
attack, jamming the vehicle's
receiver and snatching a code
before it can be used. The vehicle doesn't unlock,
but most remote lock users
will simply try again. Rolljam
already has the one good code
it needs, so it relays the
second one and the locks open as usual. The stolen code can
be used whenever a thief
decides it's time to cash out.
Kamkar says virtually any
vehicle with remote power
locks is susceptible, and he's tested in on Fords, Chryslers,
Toyotas, Nissans,
Volkswagens, and Cadillacs.
RollJam even worked on a
Lotus. Aftermarket systems
are vulnerable, too, including those made by Viper and
Cobra — two of the most
popular brands out there. You might think that your
garage door affords some
added security, but you'd be
wrong. RollJam can perform
the same attack against most
garage door openers. If there's any good news to
come out of Kamkar's latest
demo, it's that many
automakers have since moved to more advanced systems . Of course,
that's only good
news if you own a newer
vehicle. Nobody's made a
move to update any older
vehicles that are at risk yet.
Maybe they'll take action once Kamkar posts his source code
to GitHub.

HOW TO WRITE, COMPILE AND RUN C++ CODE ON LINUX KALI

Developing a C++ Program on Kali Linux Without Installing Additional Software This article is for hackers who want to develop a C++ program on Kali Linux without installing any additional software. Some might say you need to install a separate compiler or extra tools to write and run a simple C++ program on Kali Linux. However, I’ll show you how to do it right out of the box. Pre-installed C++ Compiler in Kali Linux Kali Linux comes with a pre-installed C++ compiler called g++ . We will use this to write and compile a basic "Hello, World!" program. Step 1: Check if g++ is Installed Open your terminal and run the following command: g++ -v If the compiler is installed, you should see version details. If not, you will get an error message. Step 2: Create a C++ File In your terminal, type: nano MyCpp.cpp This will create a C++ file and open it in the Nano editor. Step 3: Write the C++ Code Once Nano opens, enter the following C++ code: #include <...

HOW TO INSTALL BLOGENGINE.NET WITH VISUAL STUDIO.

Yes there are lots of article on the internet that already describes how to do this, but that wont stop me from sharing my own idea on how I got mine rocking with visual studio 2012. Now here is the story, I woke up one morning and discovered I was departing from being a beginner programmer to a programmer who is at least worthy to be called a programmer. So I felt I needed to share my programming experience and the only known way I could do that, was to start blogging, hmmm... Just like you, I didn't like blogger, I needed  to be my own boss. So, I started my own blog project, but wait....  Why was I doing that when there are open source blog projects being developed and maintained by developers who are more "programmatically" experienced than I?. BlogEngine was the one I chose and the installation was a breeze. All I did was go to the site, downloaded the first zip file which is tagged "web", extracted it to my visual studio project directory, opened vi...

LOAN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (My Project Idea)

There are many companies that specializes on giving loan to people; they make their profits by collecting interest on any money they lend out, and before a loan can be given to any customer, the customer must provide a collateral and some details such as:  contact details and a reference/guarantor. When the loan is finally given to the customer, they charge interest based on the the amount given to the customer for a given period of time which could be daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  For example, a company could be collecting interest based on a particular amount for a given period of time like: $200,000 loan would have an interest tag of $2,000  per month until the money is returned, and $100,000 would have an interest of $1,000 per month until the money is returned.  In  addition, the customers need to know when the time for them to pay their interest comes e.g.  at the end of the month or the timing model with which the calculation is being made.
