This review and regionless hack applies to the following DVD / MP3 / CD player: Diamond Vision DVDV807-03. The DVD player’s manual also includes instructions for the DVDV807-04 model, so most of this information should apply to it as well.

Whether you intend to watch foreign language videos in order to learn a new language, or because some titles are not available where you live, DVDs from another region will probably be unplayable on your current DVD player. However, a DVD machine can often be converted (hacked) to a different region via a remote control sequence or firmware upgrade. Sometimes you can even buy customized chips to modify the hardware.

The simplest and least expensive way to hack a DVD player is to find a cheap unit that can be fine-tuned via a remote control sequence. That is what this article is all about.

The Diamond Vision DVDV 807-3 player is front-loading. It proved itself to be reliable during my testing. There are a couple of annoyances, however:

1.) The DVD-spinning mechanism tends to be a little loud (minor inconvenience).

2.) If you try to operate STOP, OPEN, and PLAY buttons too quickly, the player sometimes locks up. Powering down and restarting always resets the player successfully.

The region-free hack works as follows:

1.) Turn on the power and wait until the ‘NO DISC’ message appears, then press OPEN/CLOSE on the unit itself to open the door of the DVD player

2.) On the remote control, press SETUP. A menu will appear onscreen.

3.) Enter the following number sequence via remote: 1 3 8 9

4.) A different menu will appear. Your cursor should now be sitting in a box with the current region displayed. Use the UP and DOWN arrow keys on the remote control to display a specific region’s numerical code, or select ‘0′ (regionless).

5.) Press ENTER and then SETUP to exit.

6.) Your DVD player will now play DVDs from other regions. The code only has to be entered once. Powering down will not cause the Diamond Vision to lose its region-free setting. An added plus: it automatically senses PAL/NTSC signals.

According to videohelp.com, this region hack will also work with many other Diamond Vision DVD players.

This unit is a pretty standard economy DVD player. You can usually find it for well under $50 in most Wal-Marts. It is approximately 9 inches wide by 10 inches deep, and the remote control is a little nicer and bigger than what comes with a lot of discount DVD units.

This machine provides several types of video and audio output:

1.)Y/Pb, Cb/Pr, Cr

2.) RCA

3.) S-Video

For a budget player, it certainly is a bargain, considering the capabilities.

*Note: You can determine the region code for any DVD by looking at the packaging. You might see something that looks like a button with a globe in the background and a large number. The DVD may specifically state something like ‘Region 1′. If no code is shown, it may be regionless right out of the box. Some older titles, budget productions, or remakes of older films often do not have any region protection added.

Current region codes on commercial titles range from 1 to 6.

It’s a good move if you decide to purchase this unit. You should definitely get your money’s worth.

Hacking, a History



John Draper

Draper was one of the first well known phone hackers, and the first famous “phone phreak”. He was honorably discharged from the US Air Force in 1968 after posting in Vietnam, and then became an engineer at the electronics company National Semiconductor.

Steve Worniak

Worniak is a computer engineer and the co-founder of Apple Inc. (with Steve Jobs.) Worniak is credited with greatly contributing to the personal computer revolution of the 1970s. The Apple II gained a sizable amount of popularity, eventually becoming one of the best selling personal computers of the 1970s and early 1980s.

Kevin Mitnick

Mitnick has been undeniably titled the greatest hacker of our time. He has forever changed the way we handle information security and trust both computer and social networks. He was on the run from the F.B.I. for 3 years using fake identities. Police Officials were scarred of Kevin locking him up for 4 years without a trial

Draper, Worniak and Mitnick laid the foundation of hacking through the 1970s. So you may ask, how was hacking started, and why? ? In the 1970s phone companies started relying on computers to track phone calls. Which saved a lot of time and money for the companies, but also created havoc as “phone phreaking” began. John Draper began “phone phreaking” by using a whistle he dug out of a Captain Crunch box.(earning him his nickname “Captain Crunch” or “Crunchman”)

Draper was “phone phreaking” by calling some one blowing his whistle, after his whistle is blown the phone call is not tracked, thus giving him a 10 second charge for a phone call he can make to anywhere in the world.

Draper soon created the “blue box”. The blue box was an electronic device that simulates a telephone operator’s dialing console. It functioned by replicating the tones used to switch long-distance calls and using them to route the user’s own call, bypassing the normal switching mechanism. This box made “phone phreaking” a lot easier and understandable to do.

The phone companies were finding out how their computers were being tricked and investigated. Journalist Ron Rosenbaum smelt a big story and longed to be the author. Ron started to interview many “phone phreakers.” Every interview led to one person, “Captain Crunch.” The article explained Draper’s blue box , how it worked, and even how it was built. The printing of this article brings in Steve Worniak. (Worniak was in his second year at the University Of Burkley majoring in Engineering)

Worniak read Ron’s article and instating became hooked. He tried to reproduce Draper’s “blue box” as described in Ron’s article. Enthusiastic Worniak called Draper and asked if he could make a visit to his dorm at UC Burkley. Draper could not ignore his enthusiasm and agreed. Draper showed him how to manipulate the blue box to call anyone in the world. Worniak asked if he could call the Pope, Draper got the number and they called. The Pope was sleeping, it was four in the morning. That night Worniak absorbed all the codes he could from Draper and other attending guests.

Wile all this “phone phreaking” was going on computers were a rare commodity that only large Businesses had the Luxury to own. This all changed with the new altair 8800, the altair 8800 was the first minicomputer kit. The release of the altair was appealing to many people in the bay area. This appealment led to the beginning of the homebrew computer club, (Steve Worniak was one of the hundreds of members) they had built their atair’s but what was next, what does it do? The homebrew meetings were a place to learn and share new tips and ideas to other members. The homebrew members soon began building their own computers. When you finish building your computer you would bring it to the next meeting and share your experience making it.

After Worniak built his first computer is was obvious he was above the other members. Worniak’s college roommate Steve Jobs talked him into inventing computers to sell for a profit. Jobs was the marketer, Worniak the designer. Their company, Apple Inc introduced the Apple I in the 1970s. Apple Inc. stayed ahead of the competition with the release of the Top Selling Apple II. The Apple II was made based on the idea of making a computer home ready straight out of the box. By 1982 Apple was worth half a billion dollars. With Worniak’s business’ thriving he soon found his love for the homebrew club dieing. He found he could not tell his secrets to other members of the homebrew club. In 1986 the homebrew club disbanded, leaving behind 23 computer companies founded by its members.

The Hackers who had built the computers and created the software where now being looked at as convicts. This revolution started with Kevin Mitnick. Mitnick brought to the table of hacking, social engineering. Social engineering is a collection of techniques used to manipulate people into performing actions or divulging confidential information. For example Mitnick would call phone companies and pretend he was with a different office to retrieve useful information. At age 17 Mitnick broke into the phone companies data base and stole millions of dollars worth of information. (being underage he spent 7 months in juvenile hall)

The movie “War Games” over night changed the term hacker. Steve Worniak who transformed the computer world was a hacker. And now teenagers who had nothing better to do then crack into data bases, were being described as the same term, “hacker.”

Mitnick found his teenage hobby sticking with him. Mitnick, now choosing bigger companies to hack, in 1988 hacked into the network of computer giant DEC, and copied details of top secret software. Later in 1988 the police caught up with Mitnick and arrested him. He was charged to have copied four million dollars worth of software. Mitnick was held in isolation for a year based on the idea he could start a war through the pay phone the inmates used to make collect calls.

Once released Mitnick tapped his investigation officers at Pac Bell. Soon he was issued a warrant for his arrest in 1992. Kevin mad at the injustice of his arrest, ran. Mitnick settled in Denver and worked for a law firm under the name Eric Wies. Kevin was now hacking into the phone companies to get useful information to stay a step ahead of the police.

In 1994 the police caught up with Mitnick in North Carolina under the name Tom Case. Mitnick spent four and half years in jail without trial. Finally going to trial Mitnick was sentenced to five years in prison. After his release Mitnick was not allowed to touch a computer..

Draper,Worniak, and Mitnick established hacking through different methods, “phone phreaking”, hacking to improve computers, and crack into phone files. Although they all used different methods they all contributed to the hacking history

A NY hack license is the term used that describes the license needed to drive a New York City taxi. Officially, the NY hack license is called a New York City taxi operators license and it is issued by the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission. This license is good for all five boroughs and having it allows the driver to operate a yellow medallion taxi cab.

In New York City, only a yellow medallion taxi cab is allowed to pick up passengers on the street. To operate a taxi cab, you must possess a taxi drivers license. You must apply for this license through the Taxi and Limousine Commission.

The licenses issued through this agency for car service or limousines do not cover the operation of a yellow taxi cab. On the other hand, having the hack license allows the holder to operate a car service or limousine. Because of this, the NY hack license is the most prestigious and valuable of all the operator licenses issued by the Taxi and Limousine Commission.

Those who are interested in getting this taxi drivers license often want to know what the requirements are. The requirements are that you must be at least nineteen years old and possess a New York State drivers license that is either a Class A, B, C or E. Your drivers license will be accepted if you have a comparable drivers license from Connecticut, Pennsylvania or New Jersey.

The majority of licenses in the State of New York are Class D. If you wish to upgrade from a Class D to a Class E, you need to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles and pay the required upgrade fee. There are no tests involved but you must be prepared to pay about fifty dollars for the fee.

If you are interested in getting a NY hack license, make sure you have no unpaid parking tickets or traffic summons. If you owe the city fees for parking or traffic violations, you must either have paid them or you must have a documented settlement agreement with whatever department is responsible. This proof must be submitted to the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission with your application.

Another requirement is that you must be a citizen or a legal resident of the United States.

All applicants for the NY hack license need to attend a state certified six-hour defensive driving course. The course must have been completed no longer than six months before the date on your application.

Besides the training and status requirements, you must meet a medical requirement. The medical form is titled Form B and is part of the taxi drivers application. This form must be completed by a licensed physician.

You must submit your application for a NY hack license in person at the Taxi and Limousine Commission, which is located at 32-02 Queens Blvd, Long Island City. Their hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 9 am to 4 pm.

They also have a location on Staten Island where you can turn in your application. This location is open on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday only. The address is 1893 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island. You must make an appointment at this location to have your application accepted. Call for an appointment at 212-227-6324.

There is an application fee of sixty dollars which must be paid at the time of submission. You must pay with a money order made payable to the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission.

When you apply, you must also pay a fee for fingerprinting which costs seventy-five dollars. Again, this fee must be paid by money order made out to the N.Y.S.D.C.J.S.

NY hack license applicants must pass a test for illicit drugs. If you do not complete or pass this test, you will not get your license. The approved drug testing location for taxi driving applicants is found at 31-00 47th Avenue, Long Island City.

This drug testing center is open for business Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. You will pay for the test at the time it is performed with a money order payable to Lab Corp, Inc. Anyone applying for the NY hack license that fails the drug test will be sent to a licensing standards hearing run by the Taxi and Limousine Commission.

Another of the requirements is that you will need to complete mandatory classroom training in subjects related to driving a yellow cab in the city. There are city-approved training facilities that hold these classes. You will learn about the important city landmarks, tunnels, bridges and highways that you need to know well to be able to drive a yellow cab with success.

Having the license to drive a yellow cab can provide an interesting and financially rewarding job to persons who are not afraid of long hours of challenging work.

While most people know that the Hack division at a hunter show is a flat division where the horses are not asked to jump, many people do not understand the difference between the classes that are offered. In fact, if you watch the division you will often see horses ridden the same way through the same gaits through all the classes without any obvious differences at all.

The hack division is usually split into three or four classes including the Pleasure Hack, the Road Hack, the Show Hack and the Hunter Hack. In each class the horse is judged according to a slightly different range of qualities and to be able to assess these abilities the judge may ask for a range of different things.

Pleasure Hack

Perhaps the best understood of the hack classes, the pleasure hack judges how quiet and calm a horse is. The theory is that a pleasure horse should be a pleasure to ride. It should be safe and comfortable with easy transitions and a pleasant expression. To judge these qualities the judge will ask for a basic walk, trot and canter. In each gait the judge is looking for a long, low stride with a relaxed carriage and the appearance of a smooth ride. The horse should be forward, but should not appear rushed or stressed in any way. A rider who is relaxed and who uses minimal aids can show off the pleasure horse in the best light.

Road Hack

A road hack is a calm, yet forward horse that is capable of traveling long distances with minimal effort. He should have a pleasant attitude, yet look as though he has the energy to keep a brisk pace for an extended time. The judge will be looking for a horse who is not spooky or silly and who looks comfortable to ride. Not only will the basic walk, trot and canter be judged, but you might be asked for a working trot or a hand gallop. A working trot is a strong, forward trot that covers a lot of ground without being rushed. The hand gallop is executed in a two-point or half-seat where the horse is asked to gallop forward in a controlled manner so that it covers the maximum ground with minimal effort.

Show Hack

Unlike the road and pleasure hacks, the show hack asks for the horse to be collected and working well in hand. A show hack may be asked to perform a range of gaits including collected, working and extended trots and hand gallops. At all times the show hack should be paying close attention to its rider with prompt transitions and an alert expression. The rider should be attentive to his horse with good equitation and control. The horse should be an excellent mover who will stand out in a crowd. Working well on the bit a show hack should carry itself from the quarters and show impulsion.

Hunter Hack

Many hack divisions do not include this class, but it is really an important style that should remain a part of the division. A hunter hack is forward and works well on the bit. They should have three clean gaits with good transitions. While having good movement is still important the movement should be such that the horse would be suited to riding through the fields rather than just in the ring. Comfort is important, but a forward way of going is essential to a good hunter hack. Because the class is based on having a good field hunter the horse may be judged over a small single jump. This jump is comparable to what the horse might encounter when out on a hunt. A hand gallop may be requested in this class.

All of the hack classes are based on styles of riding that horses were used for in the past. Many of these uses are no longer common, but the hack division offers horses a chance to relive the past. Whether a horse was used for pleasure, ridden out on the road, used to show off or taken out on the hunts the skills required were suited to the task at hand. A well run hack division will show variation both in the demands of the classes and in the placings of the horses. A nice pleasure hack is unlikely to win the show hack class, while a good hunter hack might not have the easy-going nature of the pleasure hack. By understanding the nature of the division you can maximize your chances in each class and show your horse off to the best of its abilities.

The hack license may interest you if you have you recently moved to New York City and are you looking for work. If you want to, perhaps you would like to get your own license and become a taxi driver.

What is that, you say? Well, the hack license is what you will need to get when you want to drive a yellow medallion taxicab in the city. This can be valuable if you are someone who needs steady work in the city.

How are you going to get this license in New York City? Well, you will need to go through a bit of paperwork, take required classes and study so that you can learn the highways, bridges and tunnels and various landmarks of the city. If you can do this, then it is most likely that you will be eligible for the New York City hack license.

Once you have it, you will need to get ready to go to work. And this type of job is not for slackers or somebody who does not have a lot of energy. You will probably work long hours, at least 12 on a shift. If this is you, then perhaps this is the perfect job for you. Go ahead and apply for your New York City hack license. Indeed, many taxi drivers can bring in upwards of $400 a shift with take-home pay of more than $200 a shift after expenses.

Now that we have got that cleared up, let us take a look at the definition of the word hack. What is it and what does it mean? Of course, this term can be a derogatory term, but historically, when someone is described as a hack, that means it is someone who is willing to work hard and will put in the time to do so.

It is possible that its origin came from the French word haquenee. This word was used for a horse whose gait was much smoother than that of a traditional horse, because the right legs or left legs moved in tandem instead of the traditional cross gait of a trot. This was much more comfortable for ladies who rode sidesaddle since it was much less jarring. And the term might have come from a borough in London called Hackney. By the way, in the UK, motorized hackney cabs are black instead of yellow as is traditionally true in the US.

In fact, the yellow medallion taxis have a tradition dating back to the 1930’s. Indeed, they are one of the lasting enterprises of New York City. Just in the last decade, over 1,000 new medallions have been auctioned off by the city. Recently, a taxi medallion cost its new owner more than $600,000. By contrast, these went for less than $200,000 in 2001. The winners are either driving now or they have sold their licenses at a profit to present medallion owners.

In New York City, however, the hack license to be a taxi driver is issued by the Taxi and Limousine Commission. This allows you to hack or drive a yellow cab. Indeed, having this license can be worth a lot to you.

If you have the hack license, you are one of the select drivers who can pick up hails, or people with their hand raised, on the streets of New York City. You also will accept hails anywhere within the five boroughs of the city itself. In addition, during your first eight hours of the shift, you will take passengers to the adjoining counties of Westchester or Nassau or the Newark, New Jersey international airport.

Do you think you would like to become a hack for New York City? If you do, you can find out more about getting your own hack license by contacting the Master Cabbie Taxicab Academy in New York City.

So, you own a Motorola V3 Razor. If you are doing what I did you are searching various websites to find how how to change it to be what YOU want. You are reading things like “seems”, “flashing”, “flexing”. What the heck?

You’re confused, lost, and ready to pay somebody to do this, or give up. But don’t. I am by no means a computer expert or a modding guru but I have figured it out so that means you can to!

Lets talk about modding and or hacking (changing anything from how it came from the manufacturer) Hack? No Im not taking about anything illegal, but the term is used to express the idea. You “hack” into an area of the phone or Ipod the manufacturer didn’t want you to access

Why mod it at all? Well simple. I paid good money for this and if I want my kids picture as my outer LCD picture then by golly I shall have it! lol..Also there are several menu items locked out by certain carriers which I think is bunk anyway but I digress.. The biggest and most common reason for modding is to unlock the phone.

What is unlocking? Simple. Unlocking allows you to take the AT&T sim card out and put in a T mobile Sim card and use the phone. Sim card? you ask..

If you don’t know what a sim card is you should stop now and go bake cookies…lmao..not really, It is the card under the battery usually that only allows you to use the phone on that cards carrier. CDMA phones do not have these. Like Sprint, Verizon. Yes you can still mod but unlocking isnt possible. You can just reactivate with whatever CDMA carrier you want

Back to modding..

You can personalize your phone (change the outer picture, make it louder, use different fonts, change the look of it all, etc). Also, changing the software on the phone can increase your reception, your volume, the menu speed, and much more.

Ok now your hooked. How do I do it you scream!

Slow down Tonto..This is complicated stuff so read read read….I got my 500 dollar V9 and it took me 4 days to change the outer LCD because I do NOT want a 500 dollar paperweight..Do you?

Other basic terms you should know are..

The Flex:

The flex is the files and branding of the phone. It contains all the carrier specific menus and images, like T-Zones for T-Mobile, or whichever graphic branding and text links your carrier puts in the phone.

The Flash:

The flash is the part we change most often. By now we have several types, but basically, the flash is the software of the phone. When you change the flash, it adjusts features, menus, and more. Also, things like the way your phone handles reception or menu speed are handled by flashes. Flashing your phone will not erase any of your media or settings. Then there’s the seem.

The Seem:

The seem is the individual pieces that make up the operating system on the phone. Every individual feature on your phone (SMS on/off, will the call end when you close the flip, can you access the web from your phone, etc) is all editable by changing a seem. More on that in the seem editing section, but basically seems are what you will change when you want to change one feature at a time.

So what should you do?

Go to the downloads page and get all the required files and softwares. Backup. then get connected. For some reason this is the single most pain in the ass thing to do for some reason. It should be easy but it isn’t. I will do my best to get everything you need in this one place to get you going but feel free to post any questions you have in the forums. Go to www.hackitz.com for more info.

Team Fortress 2 has to be without a doubt one of the craziest first-person shooter games you will ever play, it has been created and developed by the amazing Valve Corporation, which is the same video game company which brought us the even more interesting Half-Life.

The difference between first-person shooters in those games which feature an isometric angle is that the first one puts the player right in the middle of the action and so this type of games often require a great deal of work when it comes to graphics, games which are played at an asymmetric angle to require a great deal of detail when it comes to graphics because the player is practically controlling the main characters from above, this also gives him a clear view of the surroundings which is something you can get when you’re playing a first-person shooter game.

Team Fortress 2 is a completely different concept from Half-Life, in team Fortress of the players can choose the team they want to be part of, the two teams are red and blue. RED actually means reliable excavation demolition and BLU stands for Builders League United. While in Half-Life the player becomes the all-time famous Mr. Gordon who goes against all sorts of aliens and undead creatures, in team Fortress the player goes against a crazy group of players who can be kind of odd for instance, it wouldn’t be very normal to see a farm boy grabbing a bazooka and shooting at a construction worker now would it?

In team Fortress 2 you will see all sorts of craziness, a guy with a baseball bat runs around hitting people (sort of like little slugger), a doctor who runs behind the members of his team with a gun fires a beam or an aura which heals players, a crazy construction worker with a high caliber weapon, a crazy Russian guy who carries a weapon which is capable of firing $200 custom cartridges at 10,000 rpm (costing nearly $400,000 to fire the weapon for only 12 seconds)

Team Fortress Hacks and Cheats:

Due to the complexity of the game as low as the craziness that goes on with it many players have decided to create shall we say “shortcuts” in order to advance from level to level and to acquire heavier artillery which in team Fortress means everything. Some of the hacks are able to show Turretes, dispensers and even players through the walls which can be quite handy when you’re up against when those fast guys who comes running at you with a baseball bat.

Most of the hacks require the player to download a zip file or an executable which needs to be run in order to unlock the hidden features in the game which is why it is highly recommended to run the downloaded files to an antivirus program before doing any installation.

VoIP hacking is a new term that strikes fear into the hearts of many residential and corporate users thinking about upgrading from their existing traditional phone network and in some cases even dissuades them from doing so.

Thankfully, although talk of VoIP hacking goes back to 2004 and earlier, there are relatively few reports of it and it certainly does not compare to the levels of malicious use seen in the days of “blue boxing” and company PBX misuse.

In essence, VoIP becomes susceptible to hacking because in transferring analogue voice data into a digital form that is carried over the internet, some security firms say this is tantamount to gaining all the risks of computer data systems such as bugs, but also worms and viruses. Hackers already have their existing tools of the trade that they have owned for years, and can simply transfer these to the world of VoIP.

Types of VoIP Hacking

There are a number of types of such malicious use, all of which can be potentially very damaging:

Audio spam is a recently increasing form of abuse – we have all become accustomed to email spam and the same mechanisms that allow for distribution of spam to millions at a minimal cost also apply to the convergence of voice and data. Companies will have to get smart and combat such spam using complex filters.

Voice phishing is likely to increase. This is a form of social engineering where the person being called is convinced to hand over sensitive and confidential information. The ability to send out mass recordings over the internet via VoIP is likely to increase this type of malicious practice.

Caller ID spoofing is where the caller is able to pretend to be someone else, probably to obtain sensitive information from the person at the end of the line. Unless VoIP systems are made secure, this will otherwise likely be an easy to perform “hack”.

Call hijacking is the interception of a call intended for a particular party and relaying it to someone else. Again, this is likely to be used in conjunction with some form of social engineering.

Sometimes a hacker may simply wish to shut down a telephone network through brute force or denial of service attacks. For some companies, such disruption of business can cost millions of dollars. A disgruntled employee, for example, may try such an attack.

Wiretapping or phone tapping can be considered to be more simple to perform on a VoIP network. Because a hacker can access the system from afar via the internet, he need not jack directly in to the local phone network. Such compromising or sensitive information can be sold on by the criminal fraternity or even espionage carried out.

Worms and trojan horses can also use spoofing to disguise themselves within a voice packet. Once behind the corporate firewalls, they can wreak havoc on a company’s business critical systems.

How To Protect Yourself From VoIP Hacking

Whilst there are a number of risks from such practises above, minimizing the risk can enable you to obtain all the advantages of lower costs and valuable services. Most large companies are now considering migration to VoIP and have mitigated the risks by using advanced encryption and placing control of such systems to only a critical few persons.

Such measures can allow you to enjoy the benefits of VoIP in a secure operating environment with business risk being minimal and insignificant.

You need to have a basis and if your opponents have the capacity to bluff during the game, there are also some systems that are not worth your money as they are plain bluff.
