Hi everyone! Like I promised last week I’ve been hard at work sorting out my ultimate portable covert hacking device install. I’m going to jailbreak my old iPod touch (Replaced by my iPhone 3G) and turn it into a portable innocent looking mobile hacking outpost I can carry with me anywhere. I mean who’s going to suspect the guy carrying nothing more than an iPod.

I have an old (relatively) iPod touch lying around and since I got my iPhone I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with it. For a while I just used it to store extra stuff that wasn’t important enough to occupy space on my iPhone and then I started thinking. Wouldn’t it be great if I could make some more use of the portability and WiFi capabilities like say sniff wireless traffic or do some other man in the middle type attacks from it. I mean it definitely has all the components to make it work.

Your PS3 has a secret identity, by day it delights you with Blu-ray movies and HD Video Games. But when you’re not there your PS3 is watching over your living room. Or at least it could be if you want it to. What we’ll have at the end of this article is the ability to check out what’s happening in our living room live via a PSP wherever we have a wifi connection.

Today I’m going to talk a little bit about Synergy. Synergy is a free (as in beer and speech) piece of software that allows you to use one keyboard and mouse with multiple computers. This differs from a traditional KVM in a couple ways. 1. You get the added screen real estate as each machine needs their own screen 2. You don’t need additional hardware the keyboard/mouse switching is done over your existing network. The advantage of this is that Synergy is cross platform, there are currently Synergy clients for OS X, Linux and Windows (No official support for Vista however, It may be possible but your mileage may vary. let me know how you make out if you try it) so you can have a Windows XP machine on the left monitor an Apple machine on the center monitor and a Linux machine on the right monitor or you could have 3 machines all with the same OS.

I’ve done technical support for years now and most often have to get someone to be my remote eyes and hands. This can become exceedingly difficult when dealing with someone who’s less versed in the nuances of computer use than I’d like. One of the tools I’ve found that makes this a lot easier to deal with is remote desktop (or remote terminal services). This allows you to see the desktop of whomever you’re troubleshooting with. Now most of the time this involves setting up some sort of remote desktop server on the persons computer and you knowing what their IP address is (Very difficult if it’s dynamic). I know this almost sounds like more trouble. But there is a solution.
