Programming / Re: Gtbank Token App Hackerton by Slyr0x: 9:09pm On Dec 09, 2014
For every hardware token, the 6-digits are generated based on an encryption key/seed. The 6-digits then synchronizes with the GTBank Server that has a copy of that seed.

So there's no way on earth you'll develop a random token solution and expect it to work. If it was possible, a lot of fraudsters would be smiling to the bank by now.

hemor: I av been searching for hacking tutorials for a very long time and all i see are some stupid tricks to hack facebook account which don't work. I don't know y u hackers don't like teaching people as if u weren't taught urself. Please if there is anyone willing to teach me whether it's one-one teaching, videos or recommending gud e-books with download links, i would really appreciate it. I believe hacking is fun and it will be gud to entertain me whenever am bored.

Thanks in advance.


Recently I’ve been reading a ton of questions, posts and general discussion about getting into the ‘Information Security’ game, and in my opinion at least it’s typically followed up by a fair amount of misleading information. That might be a little harsh considering I’m sure it’s good intentioned, it’s also even possible that the advice worked for them (there is no one size fits all advice) but I thought I’d lay my thoughts out here in the hope of helping a new budding hacker move forward.

I want to play sport, where should I start?
This vague, open ended and very ambiguous question is very similar to someone asking how they should go about getting into information security. The first thing to realize is there is a huge range of information security fields, and within each of those huge fields is a lifetime’s worth of learning content. Just like picking a sport there is no ‘best’, it’s simply sometimes area’s you may enjoy more than others. Off the top of my head here are some example area’s that is by no means exhaustive.

Web Application Security
Reverse Engineering
Malware Reverse Engineering
Network Security
Incident Response
Standards Compliance
Programming / Creating Tools for Others
Exploit Development
Forensics

Do I need to learn X first?

Of course you need to have a full knowledge of the OSI layer before you begin. Yes you need to read that 1000 page book on the TCP protocol. Yes you need to be proficient in 5 programming languages (at least!) before you consider hacking. Can you compile your own Linux kernel from source code? No? Don’t bother learning hacking. Actually…. all that is full of rubbish, yet it’s one of the most common responses given to people looking to learn information security. There is one requirement to becoming a decent hacker – interest. The difference between a future hacker and a script kiddie isn’t knowledge, it’s the willingness to learn.


Summary

So after a long ramble, what’s the key points?

>> A hacker will actively seek out information, not wait for others to give it to him.
>> The difference between a script kiddie and a new hacker is the desire to learn
>> You need to experiment with a wide range of information security fields to find what interests you
>> Don’t let anyone tell you that there are prerequisites for learning information security, there isn’t.
>> It’s not worth “just seeing if you can” do anything that isn’t legal, the risk vs reward makes no sense for doing so
>> With courses, wargames, capture the flags and more importantly virtual machines there is no hacking scenario that can’t be replicated legally

Have fun, sorry if it got preachy towards the end and enjoy pwning boxes! Information security is an awesome field and you’ll be learning something new every day that you’re involved in it. There is no right answer for getting into the field apart from jumping into it with both feet. Get wet, learn to tread water and stay afloat, one day you might even be able to swim a little!

Career / 15 Signs You Have A Bad Boss by Slyr0x: 3:48pm On Jul 22, 2014
Have you been feeling overwhelmed at work lately? Your boss could be the source of the problem.

Seventy-five percent of employees believe their boss is the worst, and most stressful, part of their job. Unfortunately, there are a number of things a bad boss can do to hurt the morale and productivity of their employees.

If you’re beginning to wonder if your boss is the source of your unhappiness at work, you know you have a bad boss when:

1. Your boss damages your self-esteem.

Does your boss bring you down at work? Unfortunately, you’re not alone. Sixty percent of employees say their boss at some point or another damaged their self-esteem.

2. Your boss isn’t good at their job.

Research shows 34 percent of workers believe their boss is not effective at his or her job. Not only that, but more than half believe they could do a better job than their boss.

3. Your boss doesn’t motivate you.

Bosses are meant to be an employee’s No. 1 advocate and motivator in the workplace. However, 39 percent of employees either feel only sometimes or never motivated by their bosses.

4. Your boss doesn’t listen.

Transparent communication is key in the workplace, but one-third of employees say their boss sometimes or never listens to their work-related concerns.

5. Your boss ignores you.

According to Gallup, 57 percent of employees who feel ignored by their bosses are not engaged at work.

6. Your boss plays favorites.

Does it feel like there’s always one employee who gets more opportunities than you, even though you are equally or more capable of performing? Research shows 34 percent of bosses are guilty of playing favorites in the workplace.

7. Your boss makes you dread work.

Research shows employees dread difficult conversations with their boss (20.4 percent) and returning to work after vacation (16.6 percent).

8. Your boss doesn’t ask for your feedback.

Two-way communication is essential in the workplace. However, 49 percent of employees say their boss only sometimes or never asks for their ideas when solving problems.

9. Your boss doesn’t inspire you.

According to research, one of the top five characteristics of a bad boss is they don’t inspire their employees.

10. Your boss doesn’t have a clear vision.

If the leader in the workplace lacks a clear vision, how are you supposed to perform well on the job?

11. Your boss makes you want to hide.

Do you try to avoid all encounters with your boss as often as possible? Twenty-seven percent of employees say they purposefully hide from their bosses.

12. Your boss lacks integrity.

Does your boss seem to lack honesty or accountability? Nearly 20 percent of employees say their boss has little or no integrity.

13. Your boss is a slacker.

What’s the point of doing your job when your boss fails to do their own? Forty-two percent of employees say their boss doesn’t work hard enough.

14. Your boss can’t keep his or her cool.

When things get stressful at work, a shocking 47 percent of bosses cannot stay calm during the situation. Isn’t your boss supposed to be someone you can go to when you’re feeling overwhelmed at work?

15. Your boss makes you wish you had a better one.

If you spend every day wishing you had a new boss, you’re not alone. Sixty-five percent of employees would take a better boss over a pay raise.

What do you believe are the warning signs of a bad boss?
