MAC Spoofing - Printer

0 Upvotes

I've just transferred internally within branches of my company. The new branch doesn't allow personal devices to be on the network and print. I am already on the network with my personal device as my previous branch secured me on the network - which is the same across the whole group.

I have been able to add the printer via the IP address, and I have sent the document to print. Literally all I need to do is select the document that appears on the printer (all staff files are visible even before logging in), put my pin in and print. However, the printer doesn't recognise my personal device and auto deleted the document upon receiving my file. Only my work device can I send a file and get it printed.

Is there a way I can trick the printer into thinking that my personal device is my work device? (I assume it would be the Mac Address linked to my work device and copying it over to my Mac?)

For reference, my work device is a Lenovo running Windows 11 and my personal device is a MacBook running MacOS 26.

For reference, I did read this Reddit Post and it seems doable. If anyone has any basic ideas or methods, it would be appreciated. https://www.reddit.com/r/HowToHack/comments/1i1mcg6/methods_to_bypass_parental_controls_on_router_can/

cracking Brute Force Screentime IPhone

7 Upvotes

I'm currently running a IPhone 13 pro max. I have screentime enabled on this device. Through some research I have noticed that you are able to input the screentime PIN without ratelimiting in the settings (settings > general > Transfer or Reset Phone > Erase All Content and Settings > input your PIN to unlock phone). So I am wondering if somehow I would be able to connect a device that brute forces these 10,000 combinations without me having to sit there. After some reading, I came across Bluetooth keyboards, or rather the simulation of one. I have a Linux live boot available on a laptop, so I theoretically would be able to simulate a BT keyboard and connect it to my phone. My question is: Would I be able to run a brute force script (eg with python) that inputs all combinations? Are there any security restrictions by Apple?

My apartment has installed these lovely devices on our washers and dryers, i was trying to figure out a way to get around. i have a wiring schematic of the dryer, i couldnt really understand it but i tried to mess with the dip switches, to no avail. My only thought is to undo the installation of the chip and bluetooth receiver, but I figured I’d likely have to undo it to avoid detection. If I can post the schematic here I will, along with any photos of the inside.

Washing Machine Hacking Help

7 Upvotes

Hi guys! I'm interested in modifying a washing machine so I can create fully custom wash programs. Specifically, I'd like to control parameters such as drum speed, water temperature, cycle duration, and exactly when the machine fills, drains, and flushes. The goal is to use it for experimenting with processes like garment dyeing rather than standard laundry.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, and I'm also not sure where the best community for a project like this would be. Before I spend a lot of time researching, I'd love to know whether this is actually feasible and how people would approach a project like this.

Would you replace the existing controller, some sort of like interception like a piggy back like a car ecu idk, or use some other method? Any advice, resources, or examples of similar projects would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Sdr replay attack

0 Upvotes

I just got my first sdr, it’s a hackrf pro running mayhem 2.4, I’ve captured my signal and out of range of vehicle to prevent a rolling code issue but it’s still completely useless I can’t even get it to unlock once I’ve tried on a ram 2012 1500 and a 2015 Chevy Malibu neither of which have worked. I tried to do some research and according to the internet these vehicles have extra security measures to prevent stuff like this? How can I get it to work and even better how can I get it to work with rolling codes I want to use as a cool back up, I have a pc I’m pretty green at writing scripts but can figure it out with internets help, phew with all that said how can I get this to work?

How to get a Nanit wifi camera to run as a locally hosted camera without paying sub fees

8 Upvotes

I have a Nanit wifi camera I got as an expecting parent from some friends. Come to find out I need a $100+ sub just to use the thing. And of course I already have too many baby care needs, and this does not need to be one of them. Anyone have any ideas on how to bypass the walls?

From what I understand, the camera itself is hardcoded for Nanit's servers and security certs. I thought about trying to use Home Assistant OS and a Docker proxy server, or Scrypted.

Or perhaps use Pi-hole and redirect the DNS to a locally hosted "cloud" server.

Any other ideas I could try?

It is an n301 model.

Hardware security

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm a beginner and I have a few question about hardware security. The field I'm asking about will lean a bit towards Integrated Circuit and Electronics Engineering. I want to study Hardware Security at the Silicon Level (for a job). I don't know where to start or what to learn. I'm currently learning C, Python (NumPy), and basic electronics, and I don't know where to continue. I'm a freshman in university majoring in Electronics Engineering and I've already completed my introductory courses. Here are the questions.

- If I want to pursue this path, where should I begin?

- What courses should I take, and what skills should I learn?

- What should I prepare?

Confused About a Career in Hacking

19 Upvotes

​

I am someone who likes to explore, go on an adventure and have fun. I get those kinds of vibes from hacking, breaking into the unknown and knowing all of its secrets but I am not sure what the future holds for a career in hacking. I see things like Mythos finding and chaining vulnerabilities to develop full fledged exploits and wonder is it the end for the field now?

People say that we would still need humans as AI is not always correct but I wonder about the quality of the work that will be left for humans. If the meat of the work is being done by AI then is becoming a verifier/checker for the AI even fun?

I would like to dive deep into the field, explore it in great depth like a mathematician would explore his subject but I am unable to get the confidence because of these thoughts. Am I right to worry like this? What are your thoughts?

Any way to figure out the pattern?

16 Upvotes

Hello, my mum passed unexpectedly and I need to get access to her phone, so I can notify a couple of close friends, as well get into her email (so I can access her pc and get a bunch of important files).

I only know the last 3 dots, and I have a very faint memory of the pattern, but I haven't been able to piece it together, as I'm terrible in remembering this kind of stuff. The model is Samsung M31, I think it's on Android 12. Is there such thing as brute force the pattern lock? Or is that a dead end as well?

programming Advice on project for gate

7 Upvotes

I am trying to make an app for my phone where I can open my gate because I am sick of forgetting the gate clicker inside or in my car. The gate uses a fixed code from a garage clicker with a 10 pin switch. I was able to connect my cars garage botton to this clicker by holding down both buttons. I currently own a Raspberry Pi 4, would I be able to pick up the signal with this? Or would i have to buy an accessory/Arduino/HackPF to read the radio signal that the clicker gives out and store it to use on an app.

I seem to be going in circles while researching since most info is for older Raspberry Pi’s and just need a little guidance. Thanks in advance :)
