How to edit WhatsApp messages

What’s up! Welcome to my blog. Today I’m going to show you how to edit WhatsApp messages.

To begin, the first thing you need to do is “root” your Android device. The app you'll need to download is called WhatsHack, which is obviously not available on the Play Store, so you'll  have to look it up on some repository from the WEB.






 

Once you open the app, it will show you a list of all the active conversations from your WhatsApp, and all you need to do to begin the modification is click one of them.







 

Once you’re through with all of these changes, the conversation will look very different from the original, changing the received as well as sent messages. Then it’s just a matter of going back to WhatsApp, clicking on the conversation you previously edited, and you’re done! The conversation will look as if it really had happened that way.

Now all you have to do is Screenshot the conversation and prank your friends!


Serious thinking


Nowadays, it is very common in jury trials to present WhatsApp messages, SMS or comments on social media platforms as evidence of a crime. So, the following question comes to mind: can we really trust WhatsApp messages in a courtroom?

It is not uncommon to show WhatsApp messages to prove a person’s point when it comes to divorce processes or child custody, for example when one of the involved shows a text to discredit the other part, who claims they sent a text regarding a change on the pick up time or place of the child.

As we just showed on this post, it is really easy to alter these kinds of texts, all it takes is a little technological knowledge to install an app and modify said messages. So be careful and don’t be fooled by any screenshots you may see, as they are not very reliable.


Social media as evidence?


Personally, since social media is everywhere now, and not having anything else as evidence that could help me in one of these situations, I would be in favor of using them.

Let me know your opinion on the subject in the comment section below. If legal charges were pressed against you, would you appeal to social media on your defense?

How To Configure Your Telmex Router

What’s up! Welcome to my blog. Today I’m going to show you how to configure your Telmex router.

Nowadays there are many things that are very easy to accomplish, but we sometimes don’t know how to do them without an instruction manual. For example, installing a program is a simple thing to do, you mostly just have to hit the “next” button a couple fo times and you’re done. Easy, right?

But it isn’t until they tell us “you have to do these four things” that we realize what we have to do.

In fact, we are faced with sistuations like: How I can configure my router? How I can change the password for my router? Or How can I make my router invisible to other people?

I recommend you follow all of these steps, but if you get lost or have any doubts, please leave me a comment at the end of the blog.


Find The IP Address Of The Router.


The first thing we need to do is know the router’s IP address to begin the configuration. It is an essencial step, and the way I try to explain this to people who don’t know much about technology is this: if you want to buy some donuts you first need to know where Dunkin’ Donuts is located.

One way of finding the IP address (and the fastest one in my opinion) is to access the console’s commands. To do this, hit the Windows button and type “cmd”, then hit “enter”. A black window will appear. Type “ipconfig” on the command prompt, and once you’re done, this will show you the information, but you only need to focus on “default gateway” data.




Access Router Interface.



It is importat to be connected to the router by wireless connection or an Ehernet connection, after accessing the interface, just go to the web browser and type the IP address that you’ve obtained previously.

Once you have done this, a login will appear asking for a username and password depending on your provider, the most common are: admin – password or admin – admin. In Telmex’s case, the user is TELMEX and the password is the same key to acces to the Wi-Fi. Then hit “login”.

 

Once inside the router you have at your disposal all that the interface has to offer. The options may vary by each router’s interface. In my case for example, I will describe step by step the process to change the name (SSID) and password, and enable or disable my network’s visibility.

  1. Select the option 2.4G on the menu.
  2. To change the name (SSID), select the box and type any name you wish.
  3. To change the password, select the box and type your new password.
  4. To hide the network, un-check the broadcast SSID.
  5. The last step is to save this configuration. Simply press the button “Save”.
