Keyless Entry Hack for Automobiles


So, you know those cars with that keyless entry pad? The one under
the driver's side handle? Well, if you look closely you will see that
there are really only 5 buttons, labeled "1/2", "3/4", "5/6", "7/8",
"9/0"


I am going to give you a sequence of minimal length that, when you
enter it into a car's numeric keypad, is guaranteed to unlock the doors
of said car. It is exactly 3129 keypresses long, which should take you
around 20 minutes to go through.



Print this, and put it in your wallet or purse. Just in case.

Excerpts from a Cat's Diary



Day 983 of my captivity.



My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling
objects.



They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are
fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for
the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order
to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream
of escape.



In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.



Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their
feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it
clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made
condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.
Bastards!



There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was
placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I
could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my
confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this
means, and how to use it to my advantage.



Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my
tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this
again tomorrow --but at the top of the stairs.



I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and
snitches.



The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and
seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.



The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with
the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My
captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so
he is safe. For now . . .
