Hi everyone! Like I promised last week I’ve been hard at work sorting out my ultimate portable covert hacking device install. I’m going to jailbreak my old iPod touch (Replaced by my iPhone 3G) and turn it into a portable innocent looking mobile hacking outpost I can carry with me anywhere. I mean who’s going to suspect the guy carrying nothing more than an iPod.

I have an old (relatively) iPod touch lying around and since I got my iPhone I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with it. For a while I just used it to store extra stuff that wasn’t important enough to occupy space on my iPhone and then I started thinking. Wouldn’t it be great if I could make some more use of the portability and WiFi capabilities like say sniff wireless traffic or do some other man in the middle type attacks from it. I mean it definitely has all the components to make it work.

I love bypassing content filters. Here’s a fast and easy way you can use your computer at home (Running an OpenSSH server) to get past  web content filters at work or school.

Here’s what we need

1. A computer at home running an SSH server.
2. SSH port (22) open on your router to your SSH Server
3. A computer running Linux or Leopard

Have you ever needed to SSH into a firewalled computer where you don’t have control over the firewall? Well by creating a tunnel from your this protected machine to your machine at home you can punch a tiny SSH sized hole in that firewall.

Sometimes it’s nice to know what kind of people you’re sharing a LAN with. This hack will allow you to sniff packets from other users on the Local Switched network. What we accomplish by ARP spoofing is tricking a host on the LAN into forwarding us packets that normally would only be sent to the gateway (or the machine or router thats going to send them off to the internet)

****Disclaimer****
This should only ever be done on a network that you run or otherwise have permission to monitor other users activities.
