Been a while since my last post, not being as faithful as I want to be. The good news is, I’ve been working on a few things. Getting more into doing things with the web. Recently, I wanted to get a better understanding of regular expressions, and what better way than to parse html.
Brute Forcing And Word List Attack Vector
So in my last post I mentioned brute forcing. I was going to add a password brute force function to try and get into a access point. Well, android doesn’t support the iwconfig command even rooted, so that would be have to be done in java (C++ if using the NDK). Even though I do develop Android apps, my focus here on my blog is in python.

More Fun With MindFlex
After my last article, I was thinking it wasn’t impressive enough. Sure, lighting a match that is on the computer screen is cool and all, but what if it where a real flame.
Fun With MindFlex
For this valentines day, my wife got me a MindFlex from Mattel. I have been wanting one of these since they have been on the market. It is a really interesting game where you control a foam ball with your mind. The ball will rise with the more focused you are.

New Years Ball Drop Replica
I was asked to build a replica ball drop for a friend. I had 3 days to get this thing working. It was a fun build, and took a lot of headaches to get it setup. In the end it worked out great.
Android on IRC
I recently gave a lecture on DDoS in my Network OS class. I demonstrated a simple bot on the computers in the class. I also demonstrated how portable devices are capable of running bots as well.
I used Android Scripting Environment (ASE) for the demo. The commands I gave it where text, call, speak aloud, and vibrate. The only draw back ASE has is no real GUI support. I can’t wait for the day when OpenGL ES is ported to python. Anyway, ASE allows access to almost all of the phones featurtes. Here is a link to the API ref: http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/wiki/ApiReference
Python Webcam IR Tracking
Python WebCam IR Tracking
This is a tutorial on how to turn your webcam into an infrared tracking device using Python and a simple webcam hack. We will map the IR data to the mouse. This is much like connecting a Wiimote to your computer (via bluetooth) and using PyGlove to emulate the mouse. Except, we’re using python and cutting the $40 Wiimote out of the equation.
