So now that you hopefully have at least a basic understanding of how gsm operates, let’s talk about the fun stuff. The first trick I will discuss is an activity that is becoming quite prevalant, SIM cloning. If you have paid attention to any cell phone related tutorials in the past, then you may remember cloning being made popular by certain public figures like Kevin Mitnick in order to place calls on the bill of another subscriber. Well, even with GSM this trick still holds relevant. How could such a flaw exist in a system that is obviously concentrated on preventing such fraudulant use? The flaw is within the COMP128 authentication algorithm used as an instantiation of A3/A8 widely used by gsm providers. Unfortunately for these providers, the COMP128 algorithm is just not strong enough to prevent fraud. We attack the algorithm by using a chosen-challenge attack, which works by forming a number of specially-chosen challenges and querying the SIM card for each one. Then by analyzing the responses from these queries, we are able to determine the value of the secret key that is used for authentication. So how do we perform this attack?

It is easy to use a microcontroller to turn LEDs on and off in almost any pattern you want. (Click here for more information.) But you can only turn the LED on and off. So what if you want to control the brightness of the LED? The same problem comes up in robotics where you want to control the speed of a motor with a microcontroller. It is not good enough to just turn the motor on and off. To control the brightness of the LED or speed of the motor you have to control the amount of current going through the device. But how? One solution that may occur to you is to quickly turn the LED or motor on and off. The current only flows when the output is low (for microcontrollers LED circuits are usually wired so current flows into the microcontroller when the output is low, as shown in the tutorial at http://www.iguanalabs.com/1st2051.htm). The output of your microcontroller will look like the following square wave. Read the rest of this entry »

Right click on the “Start” button and left click “Properties”. From here, you can select the new Windows XP style Start Menu, or return to the Windows 2000/Millennium style one. You can also customize the two possible choices using their corresponding “Customize” buttons. This also allows you to turn on or disable cascading menus and other options that are useful, such as large or small icons and more.

With Windows XP, you can run programs as if though they were being run under a different operating system. (This is known as “emulation”.) Simply right-click a shortcut, select “Properties” and then check “Run in compatibility mode” and select the operating system you wish to make the program believe it is being run under. This fools or tricks the program into thinking you are really using a previous version of Windows, such as NT, 2000, 98, or 95. This is especially useful for certain games that won’t run properly. Be careful *not* to use this with certain system utilities, such as antivirus, defrag, registry, and disk tool applications.

As I’ve said in past tutorials, in order to hack anything in any sense of the word you have to first understand how it operates. Therefore in this section you will learn the details on GSM to have a better understanding of how it operates. Therefore, you will have a better understanding of how it can be exploited. GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) is fundamentally different from some of it’s older counterparts like AMP in the sense that it operates using digital technology, instead of using the traditional analog technology. GSM being a cellular system is of course divided into cells. These cells correspond to their covering area of one trasmitter, or a small collection of transmitters. The size of these cells depend on the power of their transmitter. GSM, as with other cellular systems, uses low power transmitters so that frequencies can be reused efficiently. The frequency band used by a cellular mobile radio system is distributed over a group of cells, which is repeated in all the covering area of an operator. All the radio channels that are available can then be used in each group of cells that form the covering area of an operator. The frequencies that are used then will be reused several cells away.

You must go into Control Panel and open the “User Accounts” applet to change this setting. Click “Change the way users log on or off”. For maximum security, uncheck the “Use the Welcome screen” option. This re-enables the use of the “Lock Computer” option from the ALT CTRL DELETE menu, but prevents multiple users from being logged on locally at a single time. This also returns to the Windows 2000 style login screen. If you’d rather have the ability to *not* be able to use “Lock Computer” and would rather allow multiple users to logon to the computer at a single time locally, leave this setting checked and also check “Use Fast User Switching”.

After you install Windows XP, you probably noticed that some of your icons from previous versions of Windows you’ve used are missing. Microsoft did this intentionally to help simply and reduce clutter. Of course, for some people, this isn’t the best choice or the user preference. So, if you want those icons like “My Computer” and “My Network Places” back, just open Display Properties (right click Desktop Wallpaper, left click “Properties”) and click the “Desktop” tab. Click the “Customize Desktop” button and on the “General” tab check the items you want. You can also change the icons used by these desktop items in the same screen. One final tip related to this screen is the “Clean Desktop Now” button, which notifies you of unused icons on the desktop and offers to remove them if you choose.
