PSA

Hi all,

I’ve seen a lot of posts asking for help with getting a social media account, email, or other personal account recovered.

Typically, these are held on company servers which take extreme tact, skill, and time to even attempt to infiltrate. It’s also a huge ethics violation and holds severe legal consequences. (Although I don’t get the sense that anyone expects/intends for laws to be broken when asking for help- it feels more like genuine desperation to reclaim personal data, which I can empathize with.)

Many scammers exploit human vulnerability which is how you hear about accounts being taken over/hacked. This is actually good segue to add that anyone claiming they can regain your account is probably trying to scam you out of personal information or money, so be careful there, too.

Contacting the company support line is often the only way to get help.

I wanted to put this out there incase it can save anyone some time or remedy any anxiety. Much love!

RFID Implant Hyperlink Ideas?

0 Upvotes

Yo, my coworkers call me the bionic baddie because I have an rfid/nfc chip injected in my hand. This allows for a lot of brute force options here because you can just scan my hand with a smart phone under the guise of a cool/shocking party trick from a pretty girl. I've given people irl tutorials in the most random places, had my hand set up to pay me through cash app by scanning it, connected it to A.I, social medias, whatever, I've played around with it basically to see how willing people are to scan my hand. So far the rate is 100% over the past 6 months or so. Everyone wants to see what it means to be a cyborg I guess.

So, considering you can't see the link before hand of whatever i code it to open on their phone, it's kind of wild to me to consider that there's a potential for I.P grabs, rather than getting fooled online where you can see a sus looking link, most people won't click it. With that being said, I don't know that I need people's I.P addys when I'm physically in front of them and generally using public wifi to begin with.

Here's my primary use case: I've was medically kidnapped, and put under faulty charges a few years back (All charges were dismissed, it was basically a guarantee I would stop an investigation at the time, and make me look like an invalidated source in the future for whistleblowing financial scandals that lead all the way down to nuclear waste cover up in the water in my state, full story not that interesting anymore, but this made me realize I can be dissapeared by a lot of people I pissed off.). I have a "medical card" provided by the company I got my injectable from, which is on file with my primary care and all that. No cop in the future is ever going to believe I have an implant like this unless they scan it themselves. You can argue that if you want, but trust me, people's interest outweigh thinking too much about it. I don't need a phishing link that grabs an I.P, I need something that divulges a little more information about whoever's phone scans the implant for safety. Basically an art project of a documented list of people that have interacted with the link. Has to work on a mobile device, would like it to be able to basically form a list of names more than anything.

Any suggestions would be solid. I'm not up to anything nefarious, I don't go out of my way to hide anything, but maybe it's a form of leverage in the future. I would the original hyperlink tied to an email that a family member also has access to. Thanks ahead of time, up to hear what you think might be interesting to do, I'm not super technically inclined, f*ck the police.

Official Press Release from DoxSquad: Operational Takedown of the "Automatic" Extortion Group and Complete Server Infrastructure

0 Upvotes

This is an official announcement from DoxSquad regarding the permanent termination and dismantling of the "Automatic" community infrastructure. Following a targeted, comprehensive investigation into the illicit activities tied to this network, our team has successfully neutralized their primary base of operations.

Operational Overview
The "Automatic" group operated under the guise of a standard community server, but our investigation revealed a coordinated pattern of extortion operations targeting vulnerable users. Over an extended period, DoxSquad compiled a definitive dossier containing actionable evidence, systemic logs, and identifying data regarding their illicit activities and leverage schemes.

The Confrontation & Collapse
Upon securing undeniable leverage against their extortion operations, DoxSquad representatives directly confronted the founder of the group. Faced with the sheer volume and severity of the evidence held against them, the founder’s posture immediately collapsed.

In a moment of panic, their only response regarding the exposed data was a frantic, verbatim quote: "DATS MINE". Immediately following this exchange, rather than attempting a defense or a counter-argument, the founder chose to completely delete the server infrastructure, wiping out their community network in an attempt to scrub their digital footprint and evade consequences.

The Desperate Retaliation Attempt
In a final, predictable act of desperation, the remnants of their network attempted a coordinated DDoS attack against our infrastructure. The retaliation was entirely ineffective, yielding a minor 30-minute disruption before our mitigation strategies completely neutralized the threat. This weak counter-effort only serves to highlight their complete lack of technical capability and total operational panic.

A Message to Affiliated Networks
Let this serve as a case study and a definitive baseline standard for any remaining community owners or spin-off networks engaging in similar extortion models. Look closely at how quickly your peers fold when confronted with absolute accountability. If you choose to run these types of operations, realize that your infrastructure is far more fragile than you believe.

We monitor, we document, and we execute.

God forgives, but we don't show mercy. It's #AUTOMATIC.

Web exploitation + Binary exploitation feasible?

9 Upvotes

I am wondering whether is it even worth my time to get both familiar with web exploitation and binary exploitation. It feels like I am missing a large chunk of hacking whenever I only focus on web exploitation or only focus on binary exploitation. I'm not sure if I should just specialize in one or if I should just learn both.

I don't hear many people getting bug bounties for binary exploitation related bugs but I have seen the payouts on sites like crowdfense and seen it go up into the 7 figures.

Web bug bounties seemed to be talked about a lot but they usually pay lower than binary exploitation bugs.

So is it smart to try to learn both? Or is it just a waste of time and I should stick to one.

Anything you can do with them? Any known ways to get the cable card descrambled? Yes I know it's illegal. I'm just curious. I read elsewhere you can make them into a sort of tivo.

I see them all the time at the thrift store and I'm always wondering what I could do with them.

Or can someone help me find out who she was talking to on Instagram? Please help me, my heart is breaking every day.

A newbie's story about learning to hack

21 Upvotes

I’m just getting started with two games: *Hacknet* and *Grey Hack*. I’ve read, the first one is more fictionalized than the second, but it’s more entertaining and a bit more beginner-friendly. Once you get the hang of it, you can move on to *Grey Hack*, which requires more critical thinking; plus, it supposedly includes an option to hack actual online users within the game itself. I have very basic knowledge of Linux. Thanks to my "super-mega-powerful" ASUS F200CA laptop—featuring an Intel Celeron 1007U processor (1.5 GHz, 2 cores), 4 GB of RAM, a 1 TB HDD, an 11.6" screen, and 64-bit architecture—I had to install AntiX Linux, which forced me to use the terminal frequently and look up commands online. Years ago at university, I took a few Cisco Systems networking courses. They taught me the 7 layers of the OSI model (though I never fully grasped them), and I occasionally used Unix terminals to practice router configuration, but I never felt the urge to learn more until now. I’m keen to document my progress and see how far I can go, so I can share my story down the line.

Let's see how it goes for me.

Bypassing WhatsApp/Signal E2EE by hooking the Android OS audio engine

22 Upvotes

End-to-End Encryption doesn't protect against a compromised endpoint. This PoC bypasses app-level encryption by targeting the Android OS itself.

The app injects a payload into the system's audioserver. Using a hooking framework (Dobby), it rewrites memory to intercept microphone data before WhatsApp encrypts it, and speaker data after it decrypts it. It watches for "Communication Mode" and dumps the raw audio to a hidden folder.

Open source PoC: https://github.com/nighthawkk/AudioServer-Voip-Recorder

Chat GPT limit problems

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I ran into ChatGPT’s file/image upload limits. After uploading a file to a chat, the chat itself becomes heavily restricted, so I started looking for ways to work around this.

One method I found was opening the chat in airplane mode (in my case, without a VPN). However, this only seems to work as 1 chat = 1 file + 1 response.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem or have any other workarounds for the image/file limits?

Would appreciate any ideas!

How do people even start hacking?

I'm really curious how do people learn hacking?

I started web app development a year ago, learned java for writing code and to get a general idea about how the syntax works and logic.

I do mainly php with laravel, javascript and some python on the side.. but mainly to create stuff, has nothing to do with hacking, i find it deep and hard dunno where to even begin, i sometimes run into some erros with some apps and I try to dig in and try to find a way around it using Ai, but it's very limited..

I have to admit pro hackers always amazes me, that's true power I guess and I always believe that anything digital is somehow hackable.
