How to Hack a Car: Phreaked Out (Episode 2)

In this episode of "Phreaked Out," we met some of the top security researchers at the center of the car hacking world. The goal isn't to make people crash: They highlight security holes in order to highlight flaws in car technology, intended to pressure auto manufacturers to be a few steps ahead of their friendly foes.
Information security researcher Mathew Solnik gave us a first-hand demonstration on how to wirelessly send commands to the car and remotely tell it what to do. With a little over a grand and about a month of work, Solnik found time outside of his full-time job to reverse-engineer a car's computer system to make it ready for a takeover.
From his laptop, he was able to manipulate the car's engine, brakes and security systems by wirelessly tapping into the Controller Area Network, or CAN bus, network. Without getting too deep into the details—both for legal reasons and due to my own training-wheel knowledge of such things—he was able to do so by implementing some off-the-shelf chips, a third party telematic control unit, a GSM-powered wireless transmitter/receiver setup, and a significant amount of know-how he's accrued over the years.
The reason for such additional hardware was to make our older, mid-sized sedan function like a newer—and arguably more vulnerable—stock vehicle, which these days often come with data connections. (We would have loved to tinker with the latest, most connected car on the market, but since we were on a shoestring budget and it's incredibly hard to find a friend who's willing to lend their car for a hacking experiment, our pickings were slim.)
With that said, a car whose network system is connected to a cloud server and accessible by Bluetooth, cell networks, or wi-fi is potentially vulnerable to intrusion.

Play “Backup” PS3 Games from a Hard Drive
The video above features the world’s first method of circumventing the PS3′s security to play games from a hard drive. Unlike the Xbox 360 and Wii, the PS3 has been resilient in resisting hackers’ attempts to play ripped games. The PS3 Jailbreak features a USB chip that retails for a bit over $150 but enables users to dump copies of games to their hard drives. Additionally, running the games from a hard drive will save discs from getting scratched and load games faster.
Popular PS3 Hacks:
The PlayStation 3 Water Cooled Laptop
Even though Sony is having some pretty serious security issues, this water cooled PS3 laptop is still an extraordinary build. The entire work log is available if you’re willing to take on the challenge and build one yourself. The 16.75”x13”x3.5” case is made from aluminum and Keyboards and speakers are built in.
You could make it even smaller with the new slim PS3 but this mod uses the earlier model with the 40GB unit. The key feature is of course the water-cooling reservoir that finds space inside the portable console. The PS3 portable laptop weighs in at 15 pounds (7kgs). Slightly heavy, we would say but still a neat case mod.

3 Ways to Install a Game Console in your Car
Portable game systems are great on the go, but what if you want more? If you want to take your gaming on the road, don’t stop at a PSP or DS, take it all the way and install your console in your car. Learn everything you need to know from console-connection power issues to choosing the right monitor.
- You can also install a PC in your car
- Play Xbox live on the go
Three Ways to Become a‚ Mobile Gamer:
Method 1: Modded Xbox incorporated into a Scion TC
The brain of the project is a Xbox soft modded with linux running XBMC (Xbox Media Center) and a 250gb hard drive. This project will show how you can take an Xbox and have the on/off, eject/close buttons, and the dvd drive in the center console for your convenience.
From stealthy systems to the outrageous (building a motorized Transformer in the trunk of your car is definitely out there), there are as many ways to get gaming into your ride as there are games to play.
Method 3: Throw a PS2 in your car.
BONUS: Play Xbox Live in your Car
Wolfenstein PC case mod
We love us a good case mod round these parts and the Wolfenstein case mod sure brings back memories. The FuG-01/ET aka the Wolfenstein PC Case Mod. This beauty was inspired by the Wolfenstein 3D video games of course.
It features dual electric gauges, one measures amperage, and the other core voltages. There’s also an old phone handset, which won’t make any calls to HQ, a carrying strap and some bullet holes. Creator “Sheyr” really did a Ben Heck of a job capturing the look and feel of the game.
It also comes with matching keyboard and mouse.

30 Most Creatively Modded Cpu Cases
These guys are literally geniuses. I’ve seen so many case mods but these are the ones I find most creative. Case modding is an art and it is much popular among young people. Some people love to call themselves “modders”. Here are some of the most creatively modded CPU cases.
