This is nice, but what I'm really looking for is an ID for each user in a system such as this, and administration to remove individual users. Also, the user's RFID key would be able to be used in any other similar system. Of course, there needs to be some sort of security to it, not just a flat RFID. Perhaps something that has a (Randomized)challenge-compute-response mechanism in the key. There are many amazing things that can be done, and there are many big problems to be solved. From a security standpoint, though, pin-tumbler locks are WAY too easy to pick. I've not found a regular door lock that I couldn't handle with a bit of time. Were I especially skilled, it wouldn't even require much time. As always, security is just a deterrant and a certain group of capable people can get most places that they want to be.
If a PIN number is being delivered by mail, a credit card is almost certain to follow. Scan the PIN, then swipe the card envelope and figure out a way to scan the mag stripe thru the envelope. Perhaps a magstripe reader that does not have a bottom, so the full envelope could pass thru.
Now, all you have to do is wait a little while for the new card to be activated, use a mag stripe encoder to copy the data onto a new card, and hit an ATM for cash advance or just an ATM withdrawl in the case of a debit card.
Cash in pocket. Hell, you could do this in a neighboring town, then use some outdoor ATM to make the withdrawl. Approach the ATM completely covered up and the security tapes would just show an unidentified man making a withdrawl.
Wow, you are an incredible coward. They are just little bats, and you're a goddamn human being. What do you think they're going to do, clamp onto your face and eat your eyeballs? You freak out each time you see these little creatures that have just wandered into your home.. grow a pair and realize that you are much higher on the food chain.
...would the transmission still have been possable with the wavelength you used?
Most likely, yes. I'm not sure as to the specifics, myself.
What was transmitted and what was it's mode? I mean, was it what would regularly be done on a WiFi net with a WiFi mode? Or did you use something like psk31?
They used SSH to pass simple pre-determined challenge-responses across the network after being associated as normal.
Considering that the only power used was a little laptop with a wi-fi card, yeah. I'd guess so. Also note that the card was NOT operating at the full 300mw. They bitbashed the card and had it running at it's minimum power output, somewhere around 30mw.
That's why it is a theoretical range. They searched around, but were unable to find another point that they could get more than 125 in the area. There was a point tried that was 145 miles off, but there turned out to be a mountain in the way. It was, however, fun to drive up the mountain.

This letter is placing you on notice that you are in posession of an infringing substance. In the creation of the Vores Oel source, they made use of a combination of ingredients which I have held copyright of since the acquiring of a brewery some years ago. For reasons which will remain private, I will not disclose WHICH ingredients are infringing upon my IP rights.
For a limited time, however, I am prepared to offer licenses to those Vores Oel drinkers who wish to be in compliance with Intellectual Property laws. For the low price of $100/bottle, I will provide a license allowing you to posess and consume the beverage in question.
For those wishing to purchase licenses, payment should be sent via Western Union to the following recipient:
Jesus Christ, must someone bitch about "dupes" on EVERY. SINGLE. STORY?? Say something origional!! Stop bitching. If you don't like it so damned much, go somewhere else. It really is that simple.
Do you really have nothing better to do than complain about an online news site that you're not paying to see? Can't you go spend some time with your family? Work on something? Get a hobby?
...and then watch where it goes.
What's the difference between this system and a caching proxy? They both cache the site.. and then serve it up from their own systems some time later. Greeeeat.
If I see someone outside of my house on a notebook and I think they're on my wifi network, I'm going to walk over to the router and pull the plug. Go out and watch the guy go away.
This guy chose to call the cops as action #1. I've met this type of asshole. He has no consideration that this >>VICTIMLESS crime's charge will scar this other man's records for life. There goes the chance at getting a JOB anytime soon.
Wow.. After reading that post, I feel as though I've lost brain cells. Your arguments are weak, and your prejudice is shallow. You are offensive of Pagans, Christians, and Masochists. You have no idea of what morals truly are. Some of the most trustworthy people I've known have had piercings.
Also makes you look callow and jejune.
"Jejune" ?! Who the hell uses words like jejune? I find your usage of such pretentious language to be banal and trite. Two-dollar words for a one-dollar asshole.
IS there any sort of fix for their situation? Perhaps a transparent proxy of some sort that only allows any given user to use the 'net for a limited time after they've put in a fresh code.. Perhaps integrating the code generation into a computerized POS.. X dollar amount equals Y amt of access time..
Does anyone know of a solution for this situation?? Also, is there an open source POS system anywhere out there? That'd be an incredibly useful thing for small business people.
Hmm, I absolutely love my WRT54G.. I admit that it'd be nice to put a CF card on there, but I don't really need one for any real purposes. I can do everything I want to with my WRT54G, including run Kismet. I don't need to worry about bricking it all that much, because I can just TFTP the correct firmware onto the router.
Also, the WRT54G is way cheaper.. about $50-60 USD.
This brings up a good point. These people who go off on a moral outrage rant are missing the point.
If someone feels that the artist needs to get the payment, and thats why you should see things in the theater instead of downloading, wouldn't that mean that they should have the same outrage for someone who clicks thru the nag screen on WinZip every day, even after their 30-day trial?
I completely fail to realize what it is you have against a fail-safe put in place in case a tracker site goes down. There is no REASON for you to need a tracker!! The data is available to you!
Person A releases a new DVD ISO of their distro, and puts it on a tracker server.
The tracker server kicks the bucket, as systems tend to do.
Downloaders AA-ZZ who have not completed the file are screwed.
Hmm, funny that we need a tracker to get data that's already out there and waiting for us.
At the time, it was Azureus only. Keep in mind, Azureus is an open source project on sourceforge. Anyone can implement their strategy into their bittorrent client.
I've been to GoDaddy, and I refuse to do business with someone who will pimp my eyespace out like that.
Instead, I did a little looking and I found DomainSite. Check it out, it's $6.99 for the first year, and $7.99 after that.
Fully featured, price beats GoDaddy, does fast domain propegation, really simple control panel.. And check this out.. I had a problem, called them, and I got a real human being! He was even helpful!

The cards were bitbashed and nerfed to approx 30-40mw.
Was this transmission digital or analogue?
...would the transmission still have been possable with the wavelength you used?
Digital. Wi-fi is digital.
Did you use the alloted WiFi wavelength?
Yes, it was well within normal wi-fi range.
Most likely, yes. I'm not sure as to the specifics, myself.
What was transmitted and what was it's mode? I mean, was it what would regularly be done on a WiFi net with a WiFi mode? Or did you use something like psk31?
They used SSH to pass simple pre-determined challenge-responses across the network after being associated as normal.
The cards had both been nerfed down to approximately 30mw on each end.
Unfortunately, the bluetooth link was not able to be done. They tried, but some of the hardware was not able to work with the antennas.
Both sides were on mountains. Base station on Mount Potosi at about 6225ft above sea level. Mobile unit at 4850ft above sea level near Beaver Dam.
The card was NOT outputting the full 300mw. It had been bitbashed and nerfed down to about 30mw.

Looking at his word list at http://rentamark.com/Wordmarks/wordmarks.html, he appearantly owns .com, cyberspace, and wow.
Ironically, he skipped the word that I think he DOES deserve a copyright on: Smacktard.

I had a friend put the wrong firmware on his WRT54G and it wouldn't REALLY boot.. but it was able to take a TFTP connection.
:)
I've never seen one go absolutely DEAD, personally. If it did, I'd buy a new one and return the dead one in it's place.
