Operating System / Re: FireTV Stick + XBMC / Kodi

There are always the 1channel, navi-x, etc addons if you are interested in streaming. For sports I believe there is a firstrow plugin as well.

Hacking and Security / Re: Using a self-written message system as C&C
« on: January 23, 2016, 05:28:04 pm »
There was a guy with a proof of concept years ago using various social media messages. For instance the color of a profile picture could be an alias for a command etc. He had implemented it in ruby though. I can't remember the url or author but I believe it was found to be used in the wild as well. The way the IoT is catching on I would say one could hide out in some of that traffic.  There are so many ways to earn money besides being a botherder though. Be legit.

Hacking and Security / Re: Brute-Forcing Gift-Cards Codes?

I don't condone this at all. For the sake of argument though. If you were an mturk worker you could transfer earnings daily for gift card codes to get a sample to analyze. I love amazon though don't rip em off.  I would guess they are probably generated at the time of payment.

The problem I see with this ,is that I assume some of those stores turn a blind eye to shoplifting to keep their LP in business and ALE at a certain level to claim insurance etc on certain items. It sounds like an awful system but I am sure here in the states there are private systems that aren't publicly known watching traffic cams etc.  However if I were developing a system like that I would use opencv to profile people by clothing, behaviors etc and then object track their hands and page LP with a smartphone app. I have heard rumors they have facial recognition in some of our stores already. This is a very interesting subject but I think it is fucking terrible the amount of spying going on these days. Creepy isn't the word. Machine learning and human tracking is outrageous. If you want to see some spooky shit and come to your own conclusions http://vpnl.ss.uci.edu/. Note that fMRI satellites aren't new technology whatsoever. You could literally read a shoplifters mind if you wanted to drop the dough.

Scripting Languages / Re: Dope Python Modules
« on: January 19, 2016, 04:51:27 pm »
I've stumbled across some pretty cool python modules in my programming days. Pyvona might have been the coolest I've found tho

http://zacharybears.com/pyvona/

Anyone else found an awesome module?

I haven't tried this https://launchpad.net/python-espeak but it looks like it would achieve the same thing offline. My first thought was if a device loses connectivity have it create a verbal alarm using this.

My dope module I just learned about is Astral. I needed it for moon phases but it has some neat geo capabilities as well.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/astral/0.8.1

So here I found speech recognition https://pypi.python.org/pypi/SpeechRecognition/, and we have your chosen module, then there is also pyautogui https://github.com/asweigart/pyautogui . Combine that and I guess you could make a voice control for XBMC. Or, selenium and have it surf xhamster for you or w/e . Handsfree thatswhatsup

Scripting Languages / Re: Progress bar for your for loops

Nice tip. I just learned of this on twitter the other day.  If you happen to be using tkinter  and python3 there is also ttk.progressbar.  You are right though, I find myself looking for a reason to use these types of things when I see them.
