Boogie Bass Hacked

Posted by Hemos on Wed Jan 03, 2001 06:45 PM
from the good-exercise dept.

vonmar writes "A 20-second re-recordable message has been hacked into the "Boogie Bass" talking fish. The audio is stored on an ISD 1420P solid-state chipcorder voice record/playback chip. The head, tail, and mouth movements are also re-recordable, and are stored in EEPROM inside an ATMEL AT89S8252 microcontroller. Read more about it at the creator's site."

We have a story of Indian "Hackers" and now there's news of this fish being "hacked".

So with the word "hacker" being used here, did the Indian "hackers" "Hack" the Boogie Fish? Or was the fish "cracked" or "defaced"?

I dunno, I think pretty much everyone can agree that a Boogie Bass that says "Satan commands you to spread the blood of the innocent" in a demonic voice is pretty damn funny. Er, I guess a schizophrenic might not find it so funny.

They're not mutually exclusive.

If it was your fake fish and you reprogrammed it cleverly, it was hacked.

If it was someone else's fake fish, and you reprogrammed it cleverly, it was hacked and cracked.

If it was someone else's fake fish, and you reprogrammed it stupidly, it was cracked. (And you're a script kiddie.)

And there's no such thing as defacing junk like a Boogie Bass.

"HOT NAKED PETRIFIED NATALIE PORTMAN?"
"GOATS***"

assuming anyone ever bought one of those things. I mean, the question is: WHY would you want one?

What I'd really like to see is a version of the talking fish that was controlled by a remote microphone, and with software that controlled the head and mouth automatically whenever a person was speaking into the microphone. Imagine inviting passers-by to have a conversation with the fish. Pipe the voice through a sound-blaster live first to get some rather fishy voice-effects and we could really have some fun. Hey, I want this as a hands-free telephone!
