How to hack Facebook account pictures

A simple explanation of the Facebook photo URLs

Let's get an example Facebook URL and see what information can be found:

https://www.facebook.com/thehackernews = https://www.facebook.com/172819872731894

Example URL:

https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/562956_449111435102735_351919970_n.jpg

This is the photo's album id: 449111435102735

https://facebook.com/449111435102735

Here are different pictures that every user has stored, simply changing the letter at the end of the URL will change it's size.

Cell Phones - Service Menus and Special Numbers

How to get to your phone's service menu

Everyone knows about the 'secret' menus in your phone and I just wanted to make my own list.

Dial and call these numbers to access the hidden menus and if any menu asks for a password, its usually very simple:

• SPC password - 000000
• IMEI number - *#06#
• Programming menu - ##7764726
• Phone information - *#*#4636#*#*

• Phone activcation - *228
• Update coverage area - *22899

How to port Nmap to your Android Phone

Porting Nmap to Android

I was trying to port Nmap to Android and I was running into plenty of compiling and linking errors until I realized, thanks to Vlatko Kosturjak, this has already been done.

First, download the package:

wget http://ftp.linux.hr/android/nmap/nmap-5.50-android-bin.tar.bz2

Open it:

tar -xvjf nmap-5.50-android-bin.tar.bz2

Go into the directory and push to your phone:

cd nmap-5.50/bin
adb push . /data/local/tmp

Obviously, if you have root, you can push these binaries anywhere you would like.
