Top 10 YouTube hacking videos
By jheary on Wed, 01/21/09 - 6:35pm.
Hacking for fun, profit and to meet women. My favorite YouTube hacker videos range from the humorous to the downright frightening. Some of them demonstrate live hacks, while others demonstrate the use of hacker tools. I find that for learning, there is no better substitute for actually watching hackers in action (except for doing it yourself, which I am not advocating).
I thought I'd kick things off with some humor, and this video had me ROFLMAO. It's a spoof of Hitler ranting after his Windows Me PC is hacked and he loses all his data, including his puppy pics. It is best watched in full screen mode.

Correction
I think he meant the November 2008 bulletin.
Typo: in MS08-068 exploit
Microsoft has often been criticized as being slow to respond to security problems. Your copy, though shows Microsoft to be prescient enough to issue a bulletin a full 8 months in advance of a problem. In the very old days this might be called planned obsolescence, but nowadays it is probably a typo.
On Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009 you wrote: "Microsoft announced this vulnerability in its November 2009 bulletin." (http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/37420?page=0%2C4&netht=rn_012009&nladname=012009dailynewspmal.)
Yes it is 2008
thanks guys for pointing that out, I changed it.
max cornelisse fake
My understanding from over a year ago was they were all staged...
Your correct
Max is a fake. But the videos are super cool anyways.
Yawn
There really isn't much OMG here since all of these cracks have been met with patches by the vendors - save the wireless cracks. And I'll say this much about the wireless cracks - they work well when you have the right hardware, but there isn't any easy-to-use Windows software to download that everyone and their dog can use, to do them right you have to setup a laptop with Linux on it. WEP will be around for a long, long time because there's lots of hardware out there that is still in service that only supports WEP - and it still is useful. It isn't going to prevent the skilled cracker in your neighborhood from accessing your wireless network - but you won't really have a problem if the skilled hacker in your neighborhood does steal some service from you. Where you have the problem is when Grandmaw Moses next door who barely knows how to turn on the PC her kids setup, associates her virus-ridden POS laptop with your wireless network and instantly saturates your broadband link with grabage. WEP is good enough to keep those people out. Besides, there's something to be said for providing a public wireless node that can only be accessed by people who know WTF they are doing.
You must be kidding
You must have skipped several of the videos. The OMG moments were the RFID credit card hack, the compromise of a Windows SP3 PC, the owning of a Virtual Machine server in a way that is completely undetectable. It is one thing to read about it, it is yet another to see it demonstrated. If these didn't get your attention then I wonder what would. Perhaps you can post your version of an OMG youtube hacking video so we know where you've set the bar.

EBay XSS hack attack
Readers here might be interested to know that ebay has recently canceled their previously announced plan to disallow active content in the user-generated content of their site. The site is still, and shall now remain vulnerable to ID stealing xss and flash manipulation attacks. You can read more about that on ebay's own announcement pages or at auctionbytes website. They have had this uncorrected flaw since 2005 or 2006 at least. That amounts to a lot of stolen IDs. imo, ebay is a site to avoid.
Obviously the M$ Gestapo removed this video.
How can you people bend to such pressure like this. I thought we had a democracy and free speech... WTF and why was it removed... Please put it back on - or host it somewhere else.
