S3 Back working again!

So after trying to download the rom I needed to flash, all day at home, I went to Starbucks and used their wifi, with the same result. So I went to my brothers house, and finally got it downloaded.

It ate my whole day...

I used Odin to flash the rom, it took about 8 to 10 minutes and it was done.
I used the rom that wouldn't wipe anything, so to my surprise  after it booted, i was about to install clockworkmod and flash back to my backup, just like before trying to install cm10! FOR THE WIN!

I am currently copying the entire clockworkmod folder from my phone to the external micro sd card, just so I have a back up if this ever happens again.

So as soon as thats backed up, I'll flash CM10.... More to come soon.

Samsung S3 Adventures....

As I posted when I bought my S3, it was rooted and had an unlocked the bootloader. I also had clockworkmod installed, backup my rom before trying to install CM10...

Little did I know...
Remember a few weeks back, when it came out that there was a undocumented code that, from the dial pad, could factory wipe the S3. Well Samsung Pushed an OTA update to patch that exploit. And little known to me, I got it, and it locked my bootloader. FAIL!

So I still had  root, Just not a  unlocked bootloader, So after Much research on the subject, I am following these set of instructions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28530409#post28530409

I am downloading the Rom now so I can Flash it back to stock, then fix the bootloader, then to CM10.

When I am waiting for it to download, I am going to play the Campain mode on Black Ops 2.

More to come...

Ncat, newbCON meeting 3, and Lapdecks

I learned a lot about Ncat, and I presented my finding at Ncat. Had a Couple of Demo fails, and a couple of wins. I'll have to make a Video of how to use it, and I will post it.

I found the cables I need for my lapdecks, and ordered them, but they won't be here till the end of the month.

I bought Call of Duty Black Ops II, and have been playing it with my brother, I like it so far, but yet again, it would be nice to have the lapdecks working, then i could plug the hdmi into one of them and play off of that.

I have The Pirate Box set up on one of my raspberry pi's. It works pretty well, but it needs a little work. When it is turned off and on again, wall charger or battery, after about the 5 time power cycling it, it won't let  anyone connect to it.

We won't be meeting this next Flex friday, because it is black friday.  So I plan on compleating the Security Tube Wifi Mega-primer, looking into Armitage, Cobalt, Metasploit, and Update my Wifi Pineapple with new  packages.

Starting to flash CM10, Will post what happens....

Windows 8 Install... in 30 minutes...

Windows 8 was the most easy windows install I have ever done... The Pictures are self explanitory...

I went with custom install... 

I went with Customize,

I went with local account

That's it!

I want to research to see if the Microsoft account, that you can sign in with, does so over ssl or in the clear.

And I wonder the same thing with the application you install. 

I will post my finding.

On another note, My Lapdecks are in, but I am waiting for the correct cables to come.

Some may be here tomorrow, if so, I will be posting what I am doing with them.

I have done quite a bit of research on Ncat, and am setting up a presentation on how to use it.
