It's funny you guys bitch and bitch about apple locking down there phones. When was the last problem like this with iOS devices. I know jailbroken iphones/ipods with ssh enabled an the default alpine pass at one time got caught in a worm that would simply rickroll your iphone basicly. Open platform means you are hoping the people who made your software are nice.
What the last ios problem was a developer hacking in a script to let your volume buttons take pictures.;)
Alot better then a 3000 dollar cellphone bill
Jailbreak the iphone add http://cydia.xsellize.com/ to cydia Install "MyWi" in the Xapps group 1. Turn on 2. Make network 3. Open/WEP encrypted wifi network which shares your internet. It's perfect. Not only can you tether to one device you can tether to anyone around you with the key (or keep the network open) great for roadtrips if someone has an ipod touch or a netbook.
The bliping and blaping you get from the iphone can be solved by turning on 3G for the most part. If I leave my phone on edge it beeps and blips everything near by but a SB settings toggle to use 3G does decrease the battery life but stops this blip blap.
The only issue with that is after like 10km or so away from the tower it will actually REJECT your data packets. Even if you have like a -90 or -80 signal. GSM won't allow you to have data. CDMA on the other hand I believe will. Keep that in mind if you plan on using a large antenna/booster.
One day walking into the local Futureshop (Best Buy for Canadians) I saw a cool deal on a "Readyboost" enabled 2gb Flash drive. The drive had a big readyboost logo and boasted on how good it was for such task. Setting up vista I put the drive in and enabled it for readyboost. In one day that thing will transfer about 250-300gb (that's combined) so about 100-200gb write in 24 hours.
This thing has been working for 3 months. Every time I come into the room all I see is the flash drive blinking away. So lets put out some rough math. (Oh the drive is at full capacity with the readyboost stuff) so the ablity to just keep writing to unused places doesn't work.
I'll use write for fun... and a nice low number 150gb of write
150x31=4650... so give or take 4650gb of write to that flash in one month. It's on month 3 of operation. Hammer some torrents or other I/O intensive stuff and the thing writes even more. I used a cool readyboost monitor I found on the internet to monitor all this. Check it out... I also found that the readyboost kinda slowed things down cause once in awhile you have to wait for it to do it's thing before it does what you want. Maybe it's just my machine being slow but I noticed no improvement.
Did you know squid also has an adblocking feature in it. This way you don't need to setup client side blocking. The adblocking is actually not too bad only missing once in awhile and ive yet to NOTICE any incorrect blocking.
Adzapper does a fairly nice job. Setup a little cron script and it automaticly updates. Also if you have something like a WRT54GL or any advanced routing device you can setup transparent port 80 forwarding too.
This script works perfect on my WRT54GL running DD-WRT v23 sp2
Proxy Script
Simple enough... effective and does not require any end user setup. Thus "transparent"
You do have a really good point there with the phones. Still most of the phones lack a decent mp3 interface. I find them way way way too slow to do anything. My use of these phones for mp3 is kinda limited but im looking at you motorola. Not to mention it kills your cellphones battery. When that dies you also lose your txt/phone ablity. My ipod dies then I just put it away and listen to the sounds outside. My cellphone still works tho.
Now a mp3/phone with dual batteries (one for the mp3 part and one for the phone) would make alot more sense I think. I still like my ipod. I can operate it fine while driving. I used my moms sansa mp3 player one time while driving and it's really difficult to bounce around music and such compared to the ipod.
It all depends on the amount of connections you cram through that router. I have a 6mbit/784kbit Cable line and if im running more then 2000 connections (which the WRT54GL does just fine) then everything goes to a halt. The overhead of all those connections just consumes the line. If you limit the amount of open connections in your torrent program you'll notice the QoS works quite well even for voip.
Bittorrent and Limewire have to be the worst for consuming the entire line with it's overhead. If you don't limit those down (usually ~ 250 connections max) and limit the upload lots lots (ie I send at ~ 70k/s I usually limit my torrents to ~ 20k/s) I notice almost nothing from those torrents.
My girlfriend on the other hand has 15mbit fibre in her home and her WRT54GS v5 (with 2mb/12mb) can't handle 14mbit of bandwidth (up and down) just constantly reboots. For most residental lines tho the trick is all in the open UDP/TCP connections. (I know UDP isn't technically a connection but UDP shows up as a open connection to the router.
If you SSH/Telnet into the router and "type" this command.
sed -n 's%.* src=\(192.168.[0-9.]*\).*%\1%p'/proc/net/ip_conntrack | sort | uniq -c
It will show you the active amount of connections. You should keep the total under ~ 1500... if your pushing that many connections you should maybe consider getting a bigger internet package as most residental lines won't handle it. Esp PPPoE DSL... throwing another layer (PPP) just makes things worse.
DD-WRT's QoS is pretty good you just need to play with some of the numbers. If you have them too low then your losing out on speed. If you keep them too high then you'll notice things slowing down. Convienently I made a simple QoS startup guide to kinda get you started. This Page.
Im pretty good with these routers (having setup many many for people) any little questions I could prolly help out.
You can mount a satellite dish anywhere. I even mounted a dish on my tree when I was unable to get LOS (Line of Sight) to 110/119w. Using Dish Networks bandstacked setup allows you to run ~200ft of satellite cable. Mind you most legacy satellite setups will be ~ 100' or so but you could stoosh that dish anywhere. The only time I see any negitive effects is when it's SUPER windy outside. Even then the quality meter waves, but I don't see interuption of my service.
For anyone intrested I got a nifty little page about my setup.
Here
I actually have a proper tunnel setup on my network for IPv6 and ipv6.google.com brings me to a google front page and the logo does a little dance when you first see the page. Other then that it seems to be the exact same thing as the IPv4 version. But with a fancy dancing logo.
People without IPv6 probably won't get onto that link but unlike most people I have IPv6 which right now has about 2 uses.
1. Bragging Rights
2. IRC
Other then that I found that IPv6 is almost completely useless. It's nice to have because of it's open nature (ie you can set the rdns servers on most v6 IP's) and it's really easy to setup. Plug in a IPv6 enabled OS into my network and it will have a v6 IP in minutes.
And as asked somewhere around here... here is your picture of the IPv6 google haha... The logo does a little dance and it does not have any country specific information. (ie im canadian so I always get stuck with "Google Canada" but in this case I now get a fancy logo and IPv6

I would highly recomend keeping with the aircrack suite. But as far as I know kismet is the only one with a super thin drone client that is able to run on the WRT and log. It simply makes a little bit more overhead. Im talking doing this 100% without a wireless card in your desktop/laptop and completely using the wrt for your stuff. The Broadcom chipset on the WRT does not allow packet injection so a compatable card is required.
If your not in a big rush the the network is busy enough your after a WRT54GL and a pair of magnetic mount 7db antennas off ebay (15 bucks or so) you got yourself a kickass wireless hacking box on a budget.
ps people sure need to relax... it's just wireless hacking wah wah wah... you don't like it use WPA or somthing with a non dictionary pass sheesh
For someone like you I would recomend picking up a WRT54GL, it's capable of running linux and has a kickass wireless transmitter in it. Around my house I was getting ~ 20 or so AP's and about 100 or so clients. Windows only sees maybe 3-4. Quite a few people cloak their SSID's and there is alot of wireless clients floating around from printers to laptops to just people running NetStumbler.
Once you get kismet logging let it log for a month or so, then using a program called "aircrack-ng" your able to brute force the WEP keys. Eventually they will come through. Once you get in use the WRT as a client and get it to NAT from the wireless. This way you can keep on the same subnet (if your not allowing broadcasts through who cares right). Then get a static IP address on their AP (192.168.1.4 etc etc) or somthing along those lines then completely block the NAT on it (no pings no open ports no nothing) so even if they do find you it looks like a "ghost" IP to anyone without super amounts of networking knowlege. Once your on set your gateway to the address of the router stealing the wireless. Doing this I was able to smoke almost 600k/s constantly on torrents off "secured" wireless routers around me.
Yeah this is horribly simplified but with this information you should be able to fish out what you want. Yes... you can inject packets and such but for someone who is just doing this for fun around your house why transmit what you really don't have too. Once you get about 1000 IV's it's good to go from there. It took me almost 6 billion keys tho to find a 64bit WEP pass @ 1000IV's the more IV's the quicker it goes.
Hey... if people didn't want you taking their wireless they wouldn't transmit it to your house.
oh shit eh... I just took some information I was reading on the internet... thanks !! I could of made a big mistake im not very good with wireless and all that stuff ive just kinda got intrested in it... someone somewhere told me 1w @ 20somedb is legal... good thing I looked further into it (which I would have when I bought the antenna). I don't need to goto jail for nuking everything.
Thanks very much:) but im in canada... northern ontario.. as long as I don't fuck with anything I bet you I could get away with blasting the shit outa it. I know some people with CB's and 250w boots (the legal limit is what 10w or somthing silly). I really don't want to tho the most I want to do is a large wifi AP and maybe a link with a friend (so it would be completely legal).
seriously tho... thanks:) im just starting with this stuff and am trying to learn the networking and how to setup my wrt to do all this stuff. I am probably going to go with a directional antenna Prolly somthing along this line. I know I could use a pringles can yada yada but I want somthing that looks kind of nice. Esp if it's going to be mounted high up on my house. I'll go with 2x of them for about a 1km Line of sight link to my friends house. The WRT54Gs's radio can do 251mW (yeah it'd be too noisey) but aparently 89mW is the "magic" number they say. So at 19db I don't think I would melt anything esp being so directional it probably wouldn't bother anyone eh ? (by melting I mean fucking with other peoples networks) that's all im worried about... I don't care about power levels as long as I don't break every wifi network/2.4GHz device around me.
Actually the last time I opened a stock WRT54GS (v4) from linksys it had a sticker over ALL the ethernet ports telling you to install the CD and follow the instructions. So people are not only not securing there network. They are ignoring a giant sticker telling them to insert the CD (which has instructions on basic wireless network info) my motto is if the packets are hitting MY property they become my property... and if his wireless network chooses to listen to me well it does. If you don't want "h4x0rs" on your network then tinfoil your walls or turn off your AP. Plus if your smart change the mac address on your "connecting client" and firewall the crap outa your connection and use DHCP to connect then set a static IP once you find out the subnet (most routers (linksys) are 192.168.1.0/24). This can save you from some troubles. "oh where's the log of me connecting ? that MAC address is of a dell I don't own a single dell in this house" etc etc;)
I guess buddy thought he could get away with anything. My plans this summer is to install a HUGE 24db wifi antenna and run a 1w booster (by law the spec for 2.4GHz is 1w;) so I keep completely legit. I might make some connections to open wireless networks but what really is the rule for that. Im keeping 100% in the law and if there shit is hitting my house and letting me connect how is it my fault. What if I made a network with the SSID "open" and have a transparent proxy redirect them to goatse ? can I get in shit cause the AP shows nothing but goatse.
Meh... im not worried... I clone my mac address every week or 2... so im a always changing client... you can't burn what doesn't stick around.
I wonder tho... can you get burnt for downloading off those MPAA torrents ?
Ive noticed that most of them have a large amount of peers/seeders which do not "connect" to you they only show up so lets say my torrent has 9000/3984 (9000 seeders 3984 peers) but none of them send you anything and if they do it's only parts of the file. Because it's not a working file can you get in trouble ? is the data even there ? or is it just fake muble jumble ? Does this mean I could get sued for labeling my video of my kitty sleeping "Rocky IV" and get sued ? How does this all work ? Unless you have a complete working copy of somthing they really can't do anything ?
PS/2 Keyboards are not hotswappable... although ive never had an issue plugging and unplugging a live ps2 keyboard. The only result has been sometimes the OS doesn't find the keyboard again (a simple reboot fixes it). Supposivly tho doing such a thing (hot swapping ps/2) can cause the controller to cack out.
Maybe someone knows more about why it does so and if they have ever had anything happen ??
Cause I know nothing has ever happened to me:/
Why don't people like Windows ME... I remember running it on a PII 350MHz with 384mb of RAM and a Voodoo banshee (16mb Diamond if we want to get fussy). I never had an issue once with it. It found all my hardware and ran perfectly. I never had it crash (well no more then 9x series did) and it literally did take 15 seconds to boot... you would see the bios... then the ME screen just quick enough to say you saw it then you where in the GUI. I found it very convienent. I guess it could of been the era it was released in.
I remember coming home to see my mom using this new "Bonzi" buddy thing... etc etc... was it the start of malware maybe which caused these issues ? cause I never had any of them. I was kinda upset when they cut the support so quickly ?
I installed windows ME on a family members computer and they are STILL using the same install (take note they are using dialup) but it still works. Windows 2k/XP is still a way better OS but still Windows ME is light and quick.
I found Symantec Anti-Virus (the corporate edition) to be the best (personal) virus solution. It's got all the power of the home edition without the cruft. You literally install it and forget it (it updates and takes care of it's self) without a reboot.
The interface is so simple (not the big bloaty cruft in the "home" editions) and it simply keeps to it's self and fucks off. Nothing pisses me off more then when a program goes "oh you want to do this do you want to do that you should do this" etc etc
It's a nice small download off isohunt and requires no key or anything
In canada it's hard to find the old mountain dew (the stuff without caffiene) now we have "Moutain Dew Energy" which has caffiene and an little dosage thing and some information how if your pregnant or are small child and you should not consume it.
I like the US Mountain Dew (which is our Mountain Dew Energy).
I would assume your running one of those 2 editions. http://www.solosoft.org/~chris/cdkey.vbs
Download this and put it into your root of C... then goto run and type "cmd" then type cd \ then simply type cdkey (cdkey)
Without the brackets of course
It should work like a dream:D activation issues getting you down then you can simply google up on how to remove the activations (it's as easy as a file replacement and a registry entry. Now you find your windows updates don't work... that's as easy as replacing ONE file... google the rest up or if you want i'll tell you how to do both.
ATI released there encoder and remote drivers for XP Media Center Edition. A quick trip to your favorite torrent site should get you a copy of MCE (Windows XP with a second disk with the Media Center Files on it). Actvation and WGA cracking is simple as pie and boom you got a media center. You can use your PC as a PC and when you feel like it use your ATI remote for media center. My Red ATI logo on my ATI remote now opens media center and all the buttons corrospond to media center. So far ive been MORE then impressed by Windows XP MCE. Lets say I set an app to record right... well I forget and shut my computer off or it goes on standby... it turns on and records the show. I was pretty amazed when I got awaken one night by my PC turning on and recording a show in the middle of the night. Media Center is completely multithreaded (ie a backend and a frontend etc etc). Although it can be a little resource intensive it's very nice including all the things that "MythTV" includes (weather and all that fun stuff). I managed to turn my system (a Athlon64 3800x2 with a ATI 9600XT AIW) into a media station overnight. I hardly watch TV but im very very impressed with the quality of media center and how it simply just works.
Sure you have to pay "licensing costs" and shit but I don't care about intelectual property... the company goes outa busniess cause I choose to steal it... meh... not my problem someone else will make somthing. I honestly don't care... but if you want to try somthing which simply works and you can convienently use as a media center solution Windows XP MCE is somthing to check out. Plus it comes with a pretty new theme.
Windowmaker looked amazing no matter how you set it up. Nothing is bad about simple and working. Why do people need all these colours and flash bang things. I setup my own theme in windowmaker and it was solid black... with white text.
Ive saved every screenshot ive ever made and put it on my gallery (you can see as my skills progressed how customized my desktop got). Most of them are windowmaker but some of them are other desktops I tried out over the years (and always made it back to windowmaker). Once you learn how to use it being able to dock ANY app with a right click on that minimize button was extreamly handy. I would just whizz by everything on that window manager.
This Snapshot was one of my later ones and as you can see wmaker looks pretty darn slick. I used nautilus and made the "desktop" window take the entire screen and "always on bottom" so it keept outa my way. Having desktop icons is kinda usefull and I found it extreamly handy. (why waste all that space on your screen somthing mas well be happening there).
Although my new desktop has a ATI AIW card and I want to use it for TV if I didn't have such a media pointed setup... I would prolly still be using it today.
If you have a copy of Windows XP which is pirate you could simply just crack the wga and if it ever becomes a problem (legally) you have a Windows XP license and working CD key ? would that still mean you pirated windows or is it legit. Like if I had 4 pirated Windows XP machines and bought 4 licenses at a later time would it make all my XP installs legit ? (I don't care about the wga or the key crap... some nifty cracks and such fix those up really well)

The WRT54Gs's radio can do 251mW (yeah it'd be too noisey) but aparently 89mW is the "magic" number they say. So at 19db I don't think I would melt anything esp being so directional it probably wouldn't bother anyone eh ? (by melting I mean fucking with other peoples networks) that's all im worried about ... I don't care about power levels as long as I don't break every wifi network/2.4GHz device around me.
:)
Thanks very much
seriously tho
Out of sight out of mind right
Thanks
Actually the last time I opened a stock WRT54GS (v4) from linksys it had a sticker over ALL the ethernet ports telling you to install the CD and follow the instructions. So people are not only not securing there network. They are ignoring a giant sticker telling them to insert the CD (which has instructions on basic wireless network info) my motto is if the packets are hitting MY property they become my property ... and if his wireless network chooses to listen to me well it does. If you don't want "h4x0rs" on your network then tinfoil your walls or turn off your AP. Plus if your smart change the mac address on your "connecting client" and firewall the crap outa your connection and use DHCP to connect then set a static IP once you find out the subnet (most routers (linksys) are 192.168.1.0/24). This can save you from some troubles. "oh where's the log of me connecting ? that MAC address is of a dell I don't own a single dell in this house" etc etc ;)
;) so I keep completely legit. I might make some connections to open wireless networks but what really is the rule for that. Im keeping 100% in the law and if there shit is hitting my house and letting me connect how is it my fault. What if I made a network with the SSID "open" and have a transparent proxy redirect them to goatse ? can I get in shit cause the AP shows nothing but goatse.
... im not worried ... I clone my mac address every week or 2 ... so im a always changing client ... you can't burn what doesn't stick around.
I guess buddy thought he could get away with anything. My plans this summer is to install a HUGE 24db wifi antenna and run a 1w booster (by law the spec for 2.4GHz is 1w
Meh
what do you mean for debian building from source is unbareably easy ...
...
"apt-get build-dep gaim"
that gets all the librarys you need to build gaim
what more are you looking for ?
I wonder tho ... can you get burnt for downloading off those MPAA torrents ?
Ive noticed that most of them have a large amount of peers/seeders which do not "connect" to you they only show up so lets say my torrent has 9000/3984 (9000 seeders 3984 peers) but none of them send you anything and if they do it's only parts of the file. Because it's not a working file can you get in trouble ? is the data even there ? or is it just fake muble jumble ? Does this mean I could get sued for labeling my video of my kitty sleeping "Rocky IV" and get sued ? How does this all work ? Unless you have a complete working copy of somthing they really can't do anything ?
PS/2 Keyboards are not hotswappable ... although ive never had an issue plugging and unplugging a live ps2 keyboard. The only result has been sometimes the OS doesn't find the keyboard again (a simple reboot fixes it). Supposivly tho doing such a thing (hot swapping ps/2) can cause the controller to cack out.
:/
Maybe someone knows more about why it does so and if they have ever had anything happen ??
Cause I know nothing has ever happened to me
Why don't people like Windows ME ... I remember running it on a PII 350MHz with 384mb of RAM and a Voodoo banshee (16mb Diamond if we want to get fussy). I never had an issue once with it. It found all my hardware and ran perfectly. I never had it crash (well no more then 9x series did) and it literally did take 15 seconds to boot ... you would see the bios ... then the ME screen just quick enough to say you saw it then you where in the GUI. I found it very convienent. I guess it could of been the era it was released in.
... etc etc ... was it the start of malware maybe which caused these issues ? cause I never had any of them. I was kinda upset when they cut the support so quickly ?
:D
I remember coming home to see my mom using this new "Bonzi" buddy thing
I installed windows ME on a family members computer and they are STILL using the same install (take note they are using dialup) but it still works. Windows 2k/XP is still a way better OS but still Windows ME is light and quick.
I guess I just have luck
I found Symantec Anti-Virus (the corporate edition) to be the best (personal) virus solution. It's got all the power of the home edition without the cruft. You literally install it and forget it (it updates and takes care of it's self) without a reboot.
The interface is so simple (not the big bloaty cruft in the "home" editions) and it simply keeps to it's self and fucks off. Nothing pisses me off more then when a program goes "oh you want to do this do you want to do that you should do this" etc etc
It's a nice small download off isohunt and requires no key or anything
Honestly check it out
In canada it's hard to find the old mountain dew (the stuff without caffiene) now we have "Moutain Dew Energy" which has caffiene and an little dosage thing and some information how if your pregnant or are small child and you should not consume it.
I like the US Mountain Dew (which is our Mountain Dew Energy).
This my friend is easy ... to change your CD key in Windows XP to a SP2 capable key.
... then goto run and type "cmd" then type cd \ then simply type cdkey (cdkey)
... then simply download The Full copy of SP2
:D activation issues getting you down then you can simply google up on how to remove the activations (it's as easy as a file replacement and a registry entry. Now you find your windows updates don't work ... that's as easy as replacing ONE file ... google the rest up or if you want i'll tell you how to do both.

Download this and put it into your root of C

If it works you should see nothing
It should work like a dream
ATI released there encoder and remote drivers for XP Media Center Edition. A quick trip to your favorite torrent site should get you a copy of MCE (Windows XP with a second disk with the Media Center Files on it). Actvation and WGA cracking is simple as pie and boom you got a media center. You can use your PC as a PC and when you feel like it use your ATI remote for media center. My Red ATI logo on my ATI remote now opens media center and all the buttons corrospond to media center. So far ive been MORE then impressed by Windows XP MCE. Lets say I set an app to record right ... well I forget and shut my computer off or it goes on standby ... it turns on and records the show. I was pretty amazed when I got awaken one night by my PC turning on and recording a show in the middle of the night. Media Center is completely multithreaded (ie a backend and a frontend etc etc). Although it can be a little resource intensive it's very nice including all the things that "MythTV" includes (weather and all that fun stuff). I managed to turn my system (a Athlon64 3800x2 with a ATI 9600XT AIW) into a media station overnight. I hardly watch TV but im very very impressed with the quality of media center and how it simply just works.
... the company goes outa busniess cause I choose to steal it ... meh ... not my problem someone else will make somthing. I honestly don't care ... but if you want to try somthing which simply works and you can convienently use as a media center solution Windows XP MCE is somthing to check out. Plus it comes with a pretty new theme.
Sure you have to pay "licensing costs" and shit but I don't care about intelectual property
Windowmaker looked amazing no matter how you set it up. Nothing is bad about simple and working. Why do people need all these colours and flash bang things. I setup my own theme in windowmaker and it was solid black ... with white text.
... I would prolly still be using it today.
... let the ole P3 450MHz burn
Ive saved every screenshot ive ever made and put it on my gallery (you can see as my skills progressed how customized my desktop got). Most of them are windowmaker but some of them are other desktops I tried out over the years (and always made it back to windowmaker). Once you learn how to use it being able to dock ANY app with a right click on that minimize button was extreamly handy. I would just whizz by everything on that window manager.
This Snapshot was one of my later ones and as you can see wmaker looks pretty darn slick. I used nautilus and made the "desktop" window take the entire screen and "always on bottom" so it keept outa my way. Having desktop icons is kinda usefull and I found it extreamly handy. (why waste all that space on your screen somthing mas well be happening there).
Although my new desktop has a ATI AIW card and I want to use it for TV if I didn't have such a media pointed setup
Why not

If you have a copy of Windows XP which is pirate you could simply just crack the wga and if it ever becomes a problem (legally) you have a Windows XP license and working CD key ? would that still mean you pirated windows or is it legit. Like if I had 4 pirated Windows XP machines and bought 4 licenses at a later time would it make all my XP installs legit ? (I don't care about the wga or the key crap ... some nifty cracks and such fix those up really well)
oh that reminds me of a funny joke I herd ... as someone with ADHD I thought it was pretty funny
How many people with ADHD does it take to screw in a lightbulb ?
Wanna go ride a bike ?
Badom shhh
