'Pokemon Go' Cheats, Tips & Tricks:You Can Actually Use Automatic Bots To Spoof Your GPS

"Pokemon Go" players can now use automatic bots to spoof their GPS, thereby playing the game while users stay indoors. A number of "Pokemon Go" bots are currently available, which offer free trials and an automation tool priced at only a few dollars. Each of these generally work in the same manner by forwarding artificial data to "Pokemon Go" servers and simulating a player who can play for endless hours.

A player's phone is decorated with Pokemon stickers as he plays Pokemon Go, a mobile game that has become a global phenomenon, the day after it's UK release on July 15, 2016 in London, England.

ArsTechnica revealed that the user will initially provide coordinates as a starting point and their "Pokemon Go" account details to for authentication purposes. Next, the bot will start to look for nearby Pokemon and simulate a walk to the closest creature by sending spoofed GPS coordinates to the "Pokemon Go" server at the right time. Once the bot is near a Pokemon, it can use a simple API call to catch the character, and then immediately move on to the next target.

The "Pokemon Go" bots can also do other activities, like trading duplicate Pokemon for resources, gathering new Pokeballs at Pokestops, evolving Pokemon, incubating and hatching eggs and prioritizing Pokemon to catch. Users can set which Pokemon to ignore depending on their current needs and stats.

Based on tests, a "Pokemon Go" bot can earn an average of 50,000 experience points every hour, allowing the user to reach level 15 in less than a day, just by operating in the background. The bot can continue playing nonstop and reach the higher levels of the game in just a few days.

Daily Dot explained that "Pokemon Go" uses GPS location tracking to move players around the virtual game world. However, the GPS can be tricked by enabling Mock Locations in the Android developer options menu and selecting an app to spoof.

Game developer Niantic Games has released some tools that will hopefully stop the "Pokemon Go" bots. Some players may be spawned in the middle of a blank space and find an error stating that their GPS data is unavailable. Fooling the app will require players to change their GPS data without the operating system. This can be done by rooting the device.

Over time, the availability of "Pokemon Go" bots will impact the game, specifically by having the cheaters complete their collection much quicker than their regular counterparts. On the contrary, they are also depriving themselves of exercise and the fun that the "Pokemon Go" creators intended in the first place.

Celeb hacker who stole nude images gets six months in prison

Andrew Helton from Oregon pleaded guilty to hacking celebs' emails and stealing explicit images earlier this year. Now, District Judge John A. Kronstadt has sentenced him to six months in prison and two years of supervised release. According to Assistant United States Attorney Stephanie S. Christensen, the defendant "targeted, baited and hooked" not just celebrities, but also acquaintances with phishing emails for over two years. He also kept the nude and intimate photos he stole in his own computer. Helton's celebrity victims remain unnamed, because the source for that massive nude photo leak dubbed as "The Fappening" was another hacker altogether.

Ryan Collins, a Pennsylvania native, also admitted that he phished celebrities and stole explicit images earlier this year. The images he pilfered, including those of Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton, were the ones that were distributed online. Helton's case preceded Collins' -- he was arrested back in 2013 -- and authorities believe his collection was at least never made public.

While Christensen fought for a year-long sentence, Helton's lawyer said his client shouldn't be sent to prison at all. He argued that the defendant was suffering from a mental illness during the time of the incident and only used the most basic phishing technique. Helton sent out emails that looked like they were from Apple and Google, asking the victims to verify their accounts by clicking on a link that led to a fake website. "There was no expertise involved. All I did was essentially copy and paste," the defendant said, serving as a reminder that we really should pay more attention to the links we click.

Hack Facebook By Obtaining Facebook Access tokens In Device Login

To make logging into applications and services easily, Facebook introduced Facebook Login for devices. Mainly focused on Internet of Things devices, people could use it for logging into Smart TVs, digital photo frames etc.

 While using this feature, your IoT device shows a password that you need to enter on a web page that you open on your PC or smartphone. This could be used to grant permission to new apps and services.

Josip Franjkovic, a renowned Facebook white hat hacker who is one of the Facebook’s top 10 bug reporters since 2013, has found a vulnerability in Facebook’s device login feature.

Hacking Facebook by exploiting device login flow:
To get permission, the new application requests Facebook Graph API to retrieve a hash code and user_code. Then the app tells the user to go to facebook.com/device and enter the user_code provided by Graph API.

The next step involves verification of the application via OAuth flow. Here, the user_code entered by the user is connected to the app code.

Here’s how it looks like:

https://www.facebook.com/v2.5/dialog/oauth?redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2Fdevice.php%3FuserCode%3D{$user_code}&client_id=1234

Now the application can request the Graph API to get the user access_token.

graph.facebook.com/oauth/device?type=device_token&client_id=1&code=hash_code

Franjkovic found a flaw in the step where user_code is connected to the application_code. This step is performed without any CSRF protection.

https://m.facebook.com/device.php?userCode=$userCode&code=$appCode

So, to exploit this vulnerability, Franjkovic built his own proof of concept. In his exploit, an attacker requests the user_code as told in the first step and presents a page to the victim using the same. It’s possible due to the lack of any CSRF protection.

Let’s suppose an attacker is able to get a user_code abcd and hash code 1234, he/she can easily fork a page with URL:

https://www.facebook.com/v2.5/dialog/oauth?redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2Fdevice.php%3FuserCode%3Dabcd&client_id=1234

Similarly, the next step involves a successful redirection to something like this:

https://m.facebook.com/device.php?userCode=abcd&code=aZx…

Now the attacker can get the access_token of the user by requesting:

graph.facebook.com/oauth/device?type=device_token&client_id=1&code=4567

To carry out this exploit, an attacker needs to know that a user has approved some app for Login for Devices. Every device that has Login for Devices enabled and Web OAuth Login disabled, automatically gets m.facebook.com/device.php as a valid redirect.
With further tweaks, a pre-approved application can be exploited to hack a Facebook account.
Franjkovic reported this vulnerability and Facebook has now fixed this bug, awarding him a bug bounty of $5,000.

After the fix, Facebook shows a re-confirmation pop-up each time you use device login. Facebook has further added the missing CSRF protection.

Beware Of Google Chrome Extensions That Can Hijack Your Facebook Account.

A set of Google Chrome extensions that were hijacking Facebook accounts which was found by an 19-year-old Danish student named Maxime Kjaer, has been removed by Google. These extensions were distributed via Facebook posts for all sorts of viral content. Users who clicked on the links were asked to install one of many Chrome extensions which were capable of many more malicious actions apart from hacking your Facebook account.

All of these extensions had a similar name like involving the words “viral“, “age“, and “verify“, and were hosted on the Google Chrome Web Store, which helped users dispel any doubts they had about the extension’s legitimacy. Researchers reported the IP addresses used to download the malicious script payload and the C&C servers to Digital Ocean, the company that was hosting the servers.

Kjaer Explanation On These Extensions
Kjaer explained that all these extensions requested intrusive permissions, such as the ability to “Read and change all your data on the websites you visit”, which gives complete control of a user’s visited sites. He added that the extensions contained only three files which executes in persistent mode, that is they couldn’t be paused and executed from when the browser started until the user shut it off.

There was no “less than 18” verification process and that the source code found inside this file only started a random timer after the user filled in their date of birth, and then showed “Loading…” during the timer and “Done!” at the end, according to Kjaer.

It was a C&C server used to control the infected browsers

Basically the downloaded script would be able to make requests and receive instructions from a command and control (C&C) server. During Kjaer’s experiment, the C&C server told his browser to access a Facebook URL that exposed his access token, a programmatic key to his Facebook account. Because of the “Read and change all your data on the websites you visit” permissions the user has granted the extension at installation, the crook was able to recover this access token.  As soon as their access token was stolen, the C&C server instructed the user’s browser to give a Like to a Facebook Page Kjaer had never seen before.

According to his calculation over 132,265 infected computers had installed the malicious Chrome extensions. He also informed Google, who removed the extensions from the Chrome Web Store and then blacklisted them, which means they were automatically uninstalled from all infected browsers.

Control your cables: 10 ways to combat desk clutter

Cure cable clutter

Cable organization is tough—I get it. After all, it’s not like you meant for the area behind your desk to become a fire hazard of tangled cords and wires (right?). Well, it’s time to tackle that clutter, with the help of these clever gadgets. Here are 10 creative cable organizers to help you organize and untangle your wires, cords, and cables, before you end up with an actual fire.

CableDrop Clips:

Keeping cables on your desk can be a chore, especially if your desktop tower lives on the floor. These cable clips stick to your desk (via adhesive), and keep your cables from falling off of your desk every time you unplug your laptop or peripherals. CableDrops come in packages of six, and you can grab them in bright (yellow, pink, and green) or muted (white, ochre, and brown) color combinations.
Price: $10, Amazon Stores.

Applecore cable spools:

Are your cables too long? Applecore cable spools can fix that problem—these colorful spools come in three different sizes, and can help reduce cable clutter and tangles by reducing the length of cords. Applecores come in multiple colors, including black, white, red, blue, green, yellow, and pink, and are designed for different types of cords—small cores are great for earbuds, medium cores are designed for portable devices such as mobile phones and iPods, and large cores are designed for household appliances, such as laptop computers.
Price: $1.99 - $4.99, Applecore International

Cable IDs:

It’s impossible to completely reduce cable clutter—you’ll always have a mess of cables somewhere, even if it’s a small mess. These $8 cable labels from The Container Store can help you get that mess organized: they’re flexible, helix-shaped cable labels that wrap around individual cables and can be labeled with a ballpoint pen or marker. They come in packages of eight different colors, so you’ll (hopefully) never have to tug on a wire and wonder where it goes (or where it’s coming from) again.
Price: $7.99, The Container Store

Sumo cable box:

The Sumo cable box is a nice little cable management tool that helps keep cables on your desk. This small paperweight-like box features two grooves for cables to run through, and micro-suction pads so that the box doesn’t slip off of your desk. This is a nice alternative to CableDrop clips if you have just a couple of cables and/or you don’t want to stick something to your desk. The Sumo box comes in both black and white.
Price: $11.95, BlueLounge 

Cordies:

Here’s yet another cute, colorful way to keep your cables on the table: Quirky’s Cordies cable organizer.

It has a weighted base so that it doesn’t fall off of your desk, and it comes in pink, white, and charcoal.
Price: $9.99, Amazon Stores

XL Cable Organizer:

This cable organizer is for extra long cables—hence its name, the XL Cable Organizer. This cable organizer lets you wind multiple cords around the center spindle, and has a flexible rubber shell that helps hold them in place.

Price: $11.99, The Amazon Store 

Plug Hub:

Quirky’s Plug Hub can help keep your cords organized behind your desk. This hub has an area for your power strip, and three openings at the top for your cords to stick through.

Inside, it even has a place to wind your cables so that you don’t end up with a rat’s nest.
Price: $19.99, The Amazon Store.

CableBox:

If all else fails, or if you’ve got too many cables to deal with, hide them in the CableBox. Similar to the Plug Hub, the CableBox is large enough for your surge protector or power strip, and has cord outlets on either side. The CableBox is available in black and white.
Price: $29.95, The Amazon Store.

Your Magnet:

If you need to organize cables on the go, check out Your Magnet from Lufdesign. This clever suction cup magnet attaches to mobile devices, such as a laptop, tablet, or phone, and can keep multiple cables organized.

Turn the Back of Your Monitor Into a Workspace Utility Belt

In most cases, the back of your desktop monitor is nothing more than wasted space. If you have an all-in-one system like an iMac, that space is even more cluttered because it has cables coming out of it every which way. Let's look at the ways you can turn that unused space into a useful little utility belt for storage and organization.
Create Hidden Storage for Small Junk

The majority of monitors have nothing on the back of them, save for a few ports for cables and a power cord. This means it's a great place to store all the small stuff you have. Here's a couple different ideas.

Store External Hard Drives:

Have an external hard drive cluttering up your desk? This tiny shelf is a dead simple woodcut that fits snuggly on the back of an iMac. With the shelf installed, you can store anything tiny you desire. It even acts as a cable organizer. Here's what you need:

• 5" x 8" x 1/2" oak cut at an angle to match the slant of the iMac stand. Drilled all the way through 1" from edges at 1/4" diameter. 17" x 1/4" steel rod bent into "U" shape with brake line (rubber hose) fit on flat edge to provide grip and protection. Tapped the ends at 1/4 x 20 fit with wing nuts for easy adjustment, can be adjusted to fit at any point on stand. Added a drawer pull as a cable spool to the bottom.

It's built for the iMac, but could certainly be repurposed to work with any monitor with a similar base. If you'd prefer to skip the DIY approach, the Backpack does the same thing for $29.99.

The Ambitious Store Everything Approach:

If you want to go all out, this build features pretty much everything you'll ever need to get things done mounted directly to the back of the monitor. You get a light, index cards, speakers, an ethernet switch, and even a pen. The bulk of the work is done with the magic of double-sided tape. That means if you're hesitant to take the all-or-nothing approach outlined here, you can certainly learn a few tricks to store other things behind your monitor.

Hide and Organize Cables:
Cable clutter is the biggest hassle of getting your desk organized. Organizing them with your monitor in mind can help clear that clutter easily.

The Super Cheap Paper Pocket Method:

If you have a lot cables sitting around, then this clever pocket system made entirely from paper is a good way to store them out of sight. All you need is card stock paper, double-sided tape, and something to cut it all with. This method comes in especially handy with USB cables you need to access frequently, but could be used for pretty much anything you want.

Add Extension Cables for Easy Access to Tricky Ports:

The biggest pain of all-in-one desktops is getting to the cables in the back. One solution is to use Sugru to attach extensions to the side for easy access. If your monitor is made of aluminum, you can also use magnets for a similar effect. The end result is easy access to USB ports without having to flip around your monitor every time.

If you're looking for a similar solution without the extensions, the Your Magnet might do the trick, or some 3M clips will work as well.

Mount Everything Else and Keep Your Desk Clear:
Of course, not everything on your desk can fit into small little cubby holes or cable organizers. Bigger things need bigger solutions.

Mount Your Laptop to the Back of Your Monitor:

If your primary use for your laptop is through an external monitor then you know the pain of trying to figure out a good place to put your laptop. Instructables user Mattlumpkin decided to go ahead and mount it on the back of the monitor itself. The idea is actually really simple. Using a small piece of foam, Mattlumpkin created a shelf on the back of the LCD, and then setup a simple system to quickly attach all the cables. It's certainly not pretty from the back, but who ever looks at the back of your computer?

Add a Headphone Shelf to the Side (or Back) of Your Monitor:

A lot of us like to keep headphones around so we're not annoying everyone around us, but the bulky cans aren't easy to store. One solution for iMac owners is Machook, which hangs your headphones on the side of your monitor with a stylish little hook. For non-iMac owners or people who just don't want to spend the money, a 3M Command Hook will do just as well. The bonus with the 3M hooks is that you usually get two or three in the pack so you can mount all sorts of other things to your monitor.

When you stop and think about it a little, you can use the back of your monitor to store and hide away pretty much anything. It's essentially wasted storage space ripe for hanging peripherals, creating shelves, and organizing cables.
