If you are a computer junkie like me, you may already have all the parts needed. For example, the most important part you need is a RS-232–to–TTL integrated circuit chip, which you might find in an old serial mouse or smartcard programmer. http://www.itworld.com/hardware/83600/hacking-cable-modem-building-a-console-cable#comments Hardware How-to cable modem hacking hardware hack Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:42:57 -0500 ITworld staff 83600 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/70144/security-guard-charged-hacking-hospital-systems He allegedly posted video of the activities to YouTube http://www.itworld.com/security/70144/security-guard-charged-hacking-hospital-systems#comments Security Tech & society News hacking Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:35:40 -0400 ITworld staff 70144 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/70046/iceman-pleads-guilty-massive-computer-hacking Max Ray Butler, a former security analyst turned hacker, yesterday pleaded guilty in federal court in Pittsburgh to breaking into numerous financial institutions and card-processing networks and stealing credit card and identity data on hundreds of thousands of individuals. http://www.itworld.com/security/70046/iceman-pleads-guilty-massive-computer-hacking#comments Legal Security News hacking Iceman Max Ray Butler Tue, 30 Jun 2009 21:33:05 -0400 ITworld staff 70046 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/64706/hacking-tool-gets-updated-mac Two Mac security researchers have added major improvements to the Metasploit hacker toolkit. http://www.itworld.com/security/64706/hacking-tool-gets-updated-mac#comments Security News hacking Mac Metasploit Thu, 19 Mar 2009 20:42:32 -0400 ITworld staff 64706 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/64641/researcher-cracks-mac-10-seconds-pwn2own-wins-5k Charlie Miller defends his Mac hack title; IE8 also falls on Day 1 of hacking contest http://www.itworld.com/security/64641/researcher-cracks-mac-10-seconds-pwn2own-wins-5k#comments Security News CanSecWest hacking Internet Explorer Mac pwn2own Thu, 19 Mar 2009 09:43:32 -0400 ITworld staff 64641 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/64634/browsers-get-hacked-phones-security-show Safari and Internet Explorer 8 were easy prey at the CanSecWest hacking contest, but hackers made little headway with mobile devices. http://www.itworld.com/security/64634/browsers-get-hacked-phones-security-show#comments Internet Security News CanSecWest hacking IE8 Internet Explorer Safari Thu, 19 Mar 2009 09:17:14 -0400 ITworld staff 64634 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/63306/study-hackers-still-enjoy-vandalizing-web-sites A study of 57 Web site hacks from last year showed 24 percent were aimed at defacing a site rather than financial gain. http://www.itworld.com/security/63306/study-hackers-still-enjoy-vandalizing-web-sites#comments Security News hacking Thu, 26 Feb 2009 10:14:41 -0500 ITworld staff 63306 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/62484/hacker-challenge-takes-aim-browsers-smartphones The hacking contest that has grabbed headlines two years running will take aim next month at browsers and smartphones, according to the security company that sponsors the "PWN2OWN" challenge. http://www.itworld.com/security/62484/hacker-challenge-takes-aim-browsers-smartphones#comments Security News hacking pwn2own Wed, 11 Feb 2009 20:51:41 -0500 ITworld staff 62484 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/security/60581/exposing-hackers-advantage What I like best about computer security, says Joel Scambray, co-author of Hacking Exposed, 6th Ed., is the challenge of the attackers' advantage and the defenders' dilemma. Scambray urges security pros to have fun, be flexible, and adopt an empirical attitude -- after all, running the test is the easy part, interpreting the output is what differentiates the exceptional from the merely adept. http://www.itworld.com/security/60581/exposing-hackers-advantage#comments Career Security Tip book hacking security tools Mon, 12 Jan 2009 15:45:38 -0500 ITworld staff 60581 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/windows/59887/hacking-windows-eavesdropping-network-password-exchange Password guessing is hard work.
