One of my favorite hobbies recently revolves around the amazing quality of HD video.  I find myself stopping movies and TV shows frequently to see what things I may find in the background or in those short moments of fast activity to see what might have been inside of one or two little frames.  You [...]

Some of you may know that I do a good bit of traveling for my job. For some reason, I have avoided ever buying an mp3 player of any kind (I can’t stand the ipod). I never found one that I liked. Then I watched the PVP (Personal Video Player) devices come to [...]

Caller ID spoofing has always been one of my favorite phone tricks and phone phreaking topics. One thing I noticed was a lack of good information on Caller ID spoofing. Wikipedia has had an entry for some time now, but I always thought it sucked. It was never very complete, and every time I tried [...]

I’ve read so much about Agent Steal and always wondered what he was up to these days, so it was great to finally [...]

So, earlier this week I was sitting in #binrev and savant, one of regulars, was remarking over his lack of a Blue Box that he could carry around with him. I asked him if he had some kind of PocketPC device and he replied he had an T-Mobile SDA.
“Well…” says I “… I could [...]

Recently I have been photographing various electronics items for the blog, and other projects. In an attempt to make them look more professional, I have been trying different techniques to remove the backgrounds. These have included Photoshop’s ‘Magic Wand’, ‘Rectangular Marquee’, and ‘Magnetic Lasso’ tools, among others. These work to some extent, [...]

Old Skool Phreak recently published a new article which mentioned the free ICH Uplink Skype to SIP Adapter that is meant to connect your Skype client to a SIP server. I tried to get it working with Asterisk - after placing a call to Skype, it will connect to Asterisk, which will successfully answer [...]
