Track Phone with cheap set up

Hello there. Here comes one amazing thing that you must know. Yes, now anyone can track your phone with just a small, cheap set up. That's the hackers way i am talking about, how they peoples phone. want to know then read it along till the end.

Cellular phones have become a ubiquitous means of communications with over 5 billion users worldwide in2010, of which 80% are GSM subscribers. Due to theiruse of the wireless medium and their mobile nature, thosephones listen to broadcast communications that could reveal their physical location to a passive adversary.

University of Minnesota researchers found a flaw in AT&T and T-Mobile cell towers that reveals the location of phone users. The attack, described in a Research paper (Click to Download Pdf), is most useful for determining whether a target is within a given geographic area as large as about 100 square kms or as small as one square kilometer. It can also be used to pinpoint a target's location but only when the attacker already knows the city, or part of a city, the person is in.

Ph.D. student Denis Foo Kune says, “Cell phone towers have to track cell phone subscribers to provide service efficiently. For example, an incoming voice call requires the network to locate that device so it can allocate the appropriate resources to handle the call. Your cell phone network has to at least loosely track your phone within large regions in order to make it easy to find it“.

The messages contain I.D. codes. In order to match the codes to the cell phone number, researchers called the phone three times. The code that appeared three times in the same time period in which researchers were listening in is most likely the code of the cell phone.“From there we can use that I.D. to determine if you’re around a certain area or if you’re on a particular cell tower,” he said.

The process requires a feature cellphone and a laptop, running the open-source Osmocom GSM firmware and software respectively, along with a cable connecting the two devices. It also uses a separate cellphone and landline.

The attackers use the landline to call the target's cellphone when it's located near the same LAC as the equipment and use the laptop output to monitor the broadcasts that immediately follow over the airwaves to page the target phone.

The implications of this research highlight possible personal safety issues. The group explains their work in a recently presented at the 19th Annual Network & Distributed System Security Symposium and was titled “Location Leaks on the GSM Air Interface”. The group has also contacted AT&T and Nokia with some low-cost options that could be implemented without changing the hardware.

DuckDuckGo - A private search Engine

DuckDuckGo Goddies

Haha, name is funny one isn't it. :) :) But this is really really useful for all of us. So it's my recommendation for you all guys, That you must use it to your benefit. I will give you each and every required detailed information. So lets get started. DuckDuckGo, well it's a private search engine that doesn't track your data over the internet and respects your online privacy, offers hundreds of Goodies that let you quickly do certain things like Programming, Math, Geek, Music related things.

Today m going to give tutorial on DuckDuckGo Goodies for Sysadmins and then later on i will give another tutorial on it regrding "Cryptography hacks using DuckDuckGo search engine". :) excited hann?, Please be more loud i didn't hear that. :-p haha jokes apart now let's get started.

Meaning of FTP Code

Being a system administrator, you might need to connect to a number of FTP servers. While handling FTP service you must be aware of the response code that it will give you when you initiate a connection or a new command.

The FTP server response code will be of three digits and each digit has a special meaning. First digit denotes whether the response is good, bad or incomplete.

There are hundreds of such FTP response codes. DuckDuckGo provides system administrators a facility to find the meaning of the response code received from the FTP server i.e.

ftp 230:

Meaning of HTTP response code: Similar to FTP servers, web servers also give a response in the form of codes which are used by browser to manipulate the received data, and helps system admin to identify the error and hence can be debugged i.e.

http status 402

Check Site status - UP or DOWN: There are many reasons why you might not be able to connect to a specific website, but that does not mean the web site you want to look at is down.Using DuckDuckGo a user can easily check whether a website is UP or not, also gives the load time of the web page, you are trying to access i.e. anywebsite that you want to access for example goldensparrow.blogspot.in is up.

Check Port Number details:

A port number is a way to identify a specific process to which an Internet or other network message is to be forwarded when it arrives at a server. Port numbers are associated with network addresses. Port number ranges from 0 to 65535, which seems a very large number to remember.

DuckDuckGo enables you to search the service bound to that port number i.e. port 443:

WHOIS Information:

On the Internet there are more than a billion websites. Your curiosity or your job may force you to find out who owns a particular domain name, e.g. facebook

DuckDuckGo gives you a tool to search the public details of the website owner from the WHOIS database directory i.e. whois facebook.com

Locate IP Address:

If you can find out the IP address of an Internet user, you can get an idea what part of the country or world they're in by using IP Lookup tool. DuckDuckGo allows you to find your IP address i.e. ip address

and if you want to locate an IP address, can just enter lookup location i.e.14.141.92.130

well, that was all from my side if you want to know more about it. Just mention your id in comment section below and i will mail Doc file to you. :) :) .Don't forget to share or comment if you like.
