Carrier IQ – the ultimate keylogger on YOUR smartphone
Wednesday, 30. November 2011 23:22
This baby logs your every keystroke, reads your tex messages before you’ve even read them, has access to bluetooth, your microphone and camera.
Best of all, the only way to remove it is by “rooting” your phone, and that will void your warrantee.
CarrierIQ has been seen on Android phones, iOS/Apple/IPhones, HTC, Samsung, Nokia, BlackBerry and many more.
For the Dutch folks: http://tweakers.net/nieuws/76517/htc-voegt-spionage-tool-toe-aan.html and http://www.iphoneclub.nl/154467/ook-sporen-van-carrier-iq-gevonden-in-ios/
For the Apple folks: http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/how-much-of-your-phone-is-yours-20111115/

How to install uTorrent Server with WebUI on Ubuntu without Wine
Sunday, 20. November 2011 13:17
Over the years I’ve tried several torrent clients on my Ubuntu server.
Since it’s an old 1Ghz P4 work horse, I prefer to run things “headless”.
The username used here is “yourname”, replace that with your own user name.
You also might want to check on the utorrent website for an updated version first.
Step 1 – get the uTorrent archive and unpack
$ cd /home/yourname/
$ wget http://download.utorrent.com/linux/utorrent-server-3.0-25053.tar.gz
$ tar xzf utorrent-server-3.0-25053.tar.gz
Check the unpacked directory with the “ls” command, there should be a folder called “utorrent-server-v3_0″.
Step 2 – create a startup script
The script below is the startup script you need to run utserver automatically on startup.
Credit for the script goes to simonbcn.
Get the script here, and save it as /etc/init.d/utserver
Don’t forget to modify the CHDIR and NAME values in the script!
In our case, the CHDIR would be “/home/yourname/utorrent-server-v3_0″ and the USER would be “yourname”
Step 3 – run the script on startup
Make it executable:
$ sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/utserver
Tell your system to run this script on startup:
$ sudo update-rc.d utserver defaults
Now reboot your system to check if this works.
If all went well, you can access the WebGUI on http://yourserverip:8080/gui from inside your LAN.
Step 4 – configure uTorrent
Now next thing to do, is setup the uTorrent Sever in the Preferences window:
You will probably want to set a name, password and your own listening port for the WebGUI.
When you’re done, visit the new page and log in (in my case http://yourserverip:12090/gui).
Then configure the uTorrent Server to your liking!
Make sure your download directories are writable, most common errors have to do with file permissions!

SkyStudio Pro – freeware time-lapse & motion detection software
Sunday, 5. December 2010 19:42
SkyStudio Pro is a freeware time-lapse capture & motion detection application for Windows®. It allows you to capture high-res time-lapse footage at any size, any speed with any capture device or web cam.
SCREENSHOT

DEVICE SETUP
- select video capture device, any Windows device, capture card or webcam will do
- select audio device, not really needed for time lapse video
- video capture dialog to access your driver settings
- audio capture dialog to access your driver settings
- capture size, e.g. 640×480
- capture resize, allows you to take huge frames from your webcam and resize them on the fly for better sharpness.
- frame rate, allows you to take slow shots from webcams, will enhance light quality at night. Lower frame rate means more light
notes:
- all settings are stored by video device. Changing the video device will open its codec, time-lapse and motion settings.
- recorded avi will have either the selected captured frame size, OR if resize is checked, the resized frame size.
SAVING, RECORDING
- storage folder: root dir for saving movies. Subfolders will automatically be created by date.
- Live codec: codec used for live capture.
- Time-lapse codec: seperate codec can be selected for time-lapse movies. Use as high as possible quality here.
Personally I favor FFDShow codec at 95% quality. Relatively small movies, great quality & sharpness.
- config buttons open the codec config dialog.
note: live video uses lot of cpu, make sure your codec is suitable for live recording
TIME LAPSE
- preview display shows how your time lapse will look. Click to pause/resume. Below are two bars: the upper shows current playback, the lower shows current frame being recorded.
- current date/time, frame rate and frame number is added to each frame (top left)
- interval: gap between each frame taken from your capture device. 5 sec means every 5 seconds a snapshot is taken and added to the movie
- Fps: the final avi will run at this frame rate. Recommended: 25fps
- auto-save: saves the movie and starts a new one after x frames. Purpose: if your pc crashes for whatever reason, you’ll still have most of your movie.
- recording: check to record, uncheck to stop recording
notes:
- with a 1 sec interval and 25fps, your final movie will be 25x faster than reality, playing 25 seconds of real captured time per second in the final movie.
- with a 5 sec interval and 25fps, your final movie will be 125x faster than reality and so on.
- you can change the fps during recording, but it will only have effect on the next recorded movie.
- at the start of every recording, the frame size and fps of the recorded video is set, and does not change during recording
MOTION DETECTION
- check/uncheck to activate/deactivate
- noise filter needs no explanation other than that it uses some cpu
- proportional: sets a baseline for the motion values, and outputs motion as a “relative” value. As opposed to “absolute”.
- slider: if the motion value is above the slider, it triggers a “motion event”.
- Autom.treshold: sets the treshold slider about 10 points above the average motion of the last 25 frames.
- ON MOTION: if the motion value is above the treshold, a motion event is triggered. Two options: start recording live video, or speed up the current time-lapse.
The latter creates a nice “bullet time effect”. Imagine your time lapse showing clouds speeding by… when an object triggers a motion event the time lapse slows down to real speed. When the object is gone, the video speeds up to time-lapse speed again!
Operating System & requirements
- this program is provided “as is” – no warrantee or guarantee. I developed it for my own use, if it works for you too: great.
- this program has been developed and tested under Windows 7 (x64).
- it will probably work fine under XP and Vista, feel free to test and feed back.
- faster PC, better results. Time-laps does not use much CPU, motion detection does, especially at high frame rate.
