DIY Phishing KitWhat are some of the main factors for the increase of phishing attacks, and their maturity from passive emails to blended threats attempting to not just steal personal information, but also infect with malware by embedding client-side vulnerabilities at the pages? It’s all a matter of perspective, which in this post will emphasize on the continuing efforts on behalf of phishers to innovate, and introduce new features within the most recently obtained do-it-yourself phishing page generators.

DIY Solar Resources?

TihSon writes "I'm building a large shed out back and I want to power the lighting using a surplus solar panel. In searching for information on how to go about this, I have found a lot of rough DIY guides for various projects that are close to my goal. But none seem to explain the reasoning and theory behind using solar panels, so hacking their project to suit my own needs could be pretty much hit-and-miss. I don't want to do a hacked-up job, and future solar projects are not out of the question, so something a bit more in-depth is required. Do you have suggestions for books or Web sites you have used to learn the ins and outs of using solar panels? Something that starts with basic theory and ends with the ability to wire a house would be perfect.

DIY VHS USB hub: fun, nostalgic project, apparently

Given that you can pick up a four port USB hub for about five quid these days, there's no economic value in converting an old VHS cassette tape into one (particularly as you need to buy a USB hub to make it work anyway, but for sheer nostalgia, and for the dream of clogging up your desk with a great big hub rather than a tiny one, this project could be for you.

DIY Wiretapping: The Ultimate Guide (and How to Fight Back)

Wiretapping is certainly a controversial issue today. Though it's downright creepy for a regular civilian to spy on his or her neighbors without a just cause, the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), NSA (National Security Agency) and even business owners have been known to use wiretapping devices to learn more about criminal suspects, terrorists and their employees. Even if you aren't involved in a criminal case or illegal operation, it's incredibly easy to set up a wiretap or surveillance system on any type of phone. Don't be surprised to learn that virtually anyone could be spying on you for any reason.

Guide to DIY Wiretapping

Geeks are Sexy writes "ITSecurity.com has a nice piece this week on how wiretapping works and how you can protect yourself from people who wants to snoop into your life. From the article 'Even if you aren't involved in a criminal case or illegal operation, it's incredibly easy to set up a wiretap or surveillance system on any type of phone. Don't be surprised to learn that virtually anyone could be spying on you for any reason.'" Maybe I'm on the wrong track here, but I guess I assumed that wiretapping now happened in secret rooms at the telco, and not by affixing something physically to a wire in your home, but I'll definitely be aware next time I hear a stranger breathing next time I'm stuck on hold.

Arch Linux for the DIY Linux user

There's no dearth of Linux distributions for desktop users or even for running high availability servers. But if you are a do-it-yourself computer user, your choice of Linux distros is fairly limited. You can build Linux from scratch with Linux from Scratch or compile your own set of packages with Gentoo. But if you want a distro that teaches you the basics of Linux as you set it up; is well documented, lightweight, and zippy; and has a dependency-resolving packaging system, you need Arch Linux.
