The good thing about Windows software raid is that even if machine is dead, you take drives to any other Windows box, plug them in. It will recognize it and you don't worry about the data. Disadvantages were mentioned before so there is no point on rewritting them.
Also dedicated cards are good. But be aware of build in solutions (in mobo). I use it know. Performance is good, but if mobo fails then ... to put it nicely - it's not good. When moving drives to other box system will not recognize them. I don't know about trying this same mobo model. It might help, but raid configuration is stored on mobo. When trying to create new volume on new mobo it will result on overwriting actual state.
And yes.. I've been there. Fortunately raid2raid helped me to recover data from array. But even thou I have raid5 i constantly backup important stuff on separate drives. Just in case mobo failure happens again.

You may start laughing in 4...3...2...
It have been serving me for years as a server. I started virtualization year ago. I wanted to upgrade to Atom 330, but can't find any cheap and quiet PSU.

You probably did not unpack all required files.
try this:
#!/bin/bash mkdir stuff cd stuff wget http://www.metasploit.com/releases/framework-3.3.3.tar.bz2 wget http://www.digininja.org/files/msf_dns_dhcp.tar.bz2 tar -xf framework-3.3.3.tar.bz2 tar -C msf3 -xf msf_dns_dhcp.tar.bz2 ifconfig eth0 promisc echo "/******************/" echo "/ E N D */" echo "/ go to stuff/msf3 */" echo "/ and run msfconsol */" echo "/******************/"

I see there is little problem with text formatting ;p but it works fine for me

ad 3
create rules that narrow your needs -- accept all = evil
ad 4
Not only for autologin - you can still use passphrase for key. It's little (IMO) better and more secure, because you don't even send encrypted password over network.
ad 5
yes, less space, less packages, don't install all recommended packages, keep to the minimum. Also when installing debian I always turned off network, so it wouldn't download any updates.
About performance - maybe you have really powerful machine. Any time I compared ubuntu vs debian I could CLEARLY feel performance difference.
-
Well, other than just apt-get install stuff and leave default configs. Maybe consider briefly show how to secure box (change sshd settings, host allow/deny, iptables, maybe ssh-key generation). Also ... try netinstall of debian for this purpose. You can still use the joy of apt, but it's much smaller than ubuntu server (and IMO faster and better in any way ;) )
-
About the performance - I did consider if it going to kill me and answer is .. probably no. Why because I want to use this solution for my new... server (yes, server and don't shoot ;P). First question - why the hell i would like to do that.
I have spare one thumbdrive so I could install OS there, configure it properly and prepare for.. 'deploy'. After installation and updates there won't much going on on system partition (Windows logs and such). I have 2SATA slots and 2 drivers so I thought about software RAID. (I would love to setup hardware one, but itx mobo I've got doesn't support one :( if it did i would install OS onto array).
I tested XP, 2003, 2008 and 7. In all cases software raid works good.
So to save space, electricity and heat instead of putting there 2.5 drive or any other media I want to use USB drive.
I've consider compact flash (after few fails with usb i did research). Not super-expensive but something is > 0
Maybe any thoughts on that?
And coming back to 7 - i'll try this in a moment hopefully. I like win 7, but i know it not as good as XP, and this my result in security vulnerability (we don't want that since this is server accessed from the web do we :) )
Uff, lot of text.

I've found that yesterday, tried it and description said that this is only for USB HDD, table shows that it works with Sandisk flash. I tried it with 2003 and didn't work ;/
Maybe today i'll try with XP. But did you try ever doing this? If so - did you succeeded?
-
Thanks for quick reply. I'll test those tomorrow. But the xp/2k3 tutorial says:
How to install from USB- WinSetupFromUSB with GUI, Lets try to make it easy for everyone...Post suggests that this is a way to create multiple cds installation drive - not a way to install XP/2k3 onto the drive.
It's useful anyway, but not the thing I was looking for. (Or my understanding is bad?)

Hi,
I've been messing around with this problem quite some time. My goal is to install Windows (any) onto the flash drive (thumbdrive).
Windows 2003 Server after loading the installer recognizes flash drive, but but choosing it ends with something like that:
Your computers startup program cannot gain access to thedisk containing the partition or free space you chose.
Setup cannot install windows on this hard disk.
This lack of access doesn't necessarily indicate an error
condition.
For example, disk attached to a SCSI adaptor that wasn't
installed by your computer manufacturer or to a secondary
hard disk controller, are typically not visible to the
startup program unless special software is used
I've tried FAT32 and NTFS filesystem. Always the same result. Then I tried the Windows 2008 Datacenter - it does not see flashdrive at all. Probably because .... I have no idea. This is not a SATA drive so lack of drivers couldn't be the reason.
I managed to make linux boot from USB with some problems (depending on distro), but i usually succeeded.
Thing worth mentioning is: I had no problems booting windows from USB (as a source disk).
Well, any ideas? Thanks
p.s.
one more thing - I try to do this inside VMware, but I think this is not cause of failing
-
I have Asus EEE 900 and 901.
901 is close to perfect. Small, fast, long battery life. After putting there nlite'ed Win XP it works flawlessly.
There are few things I would like in it or any other netbook (this is why I look around for new one)
- Atheros Wifi Chipset (900 has atheros, but 901 runs on relatek)
- touchscreen
- ION chipset <- I'm really looking forward to this.
Apart above - there is nothing bad I could say about it. I have 36GB of storage - it's enough (if netbook isn't your only machine)
Also if you into looks - check Seashell series. Looks nice.
-
Thanks for reply.
Good to know that this is going to work. I checked your wifi adapter model. It's small usb stick.
Could you tell me - is it worth to invest into hardware with external antennas?
If so, any recommendations/tips? As far as I know Atheros based chipsets are good for cracking. Only those?
Also I did little research and for example here:
http://www.allegro.pl/item640672212_drives..._kierowcow.html
(try using google translate, but specification is in table below and I think you don't need to translate)
Item description say that is based on a ZyDAS chipset which is alternative to Ralink or Atheros. However if I checked other item like this one or did little google search - results say that this is a Atheros chipset. I'm confused what's right here.
And one more thing. If i buy one of above items, will backtrack support them right after boot. I really want to have hardware ready to go, no configuring, loading modules or anything else.
Once again - thanks

Hello,
I had an idea few days back and want to check if my thinking's right.
Topic says it all. I want to use Bactrack 3 or 4 inside VMware and plug wireless usb adapter to my machine.
VMware support USB devices is really good in my opinion, however only devices I used were: USB Gamepads, Thumbdrives and printer.
So my question is - do VMware would have problem with passing usb wifi card to backtrack?
will BT inside vm have problems using usb card? Any additional configuration needed, or boot and ready to go.
Main and pretty much only reason to do this is wifi cracking. Why not use BT natively - I don't want to poweroff my XP unless i really have to. Also above situation should allow me to use two Internet connections simultaneously...right? One for each OS.
So.. what do you think?
Thanks
p.s.
I am aware of performance drop especially since this is Atom based EEE.

Episode 5x10
in Hak5
Finally I got minute to post thoughts on this ep.
I am REALLY looking forward to VM part. I do understand that not everyone could be so enthusiastic about virtualization. But I would love to see this segments longer, perhaps even whole episodes spared to one topic.
Few minute segments on so extensive topic is way to short.
Greetings and keep up great show.

Episode 4x23
in Hak5
Just finished watching.
I must admit. This episode was different. It doesn't mean bad. Just
different.
Evilserver part - great
RDP segment - REALLY good. I enjoyed it almost as much as the
pineapple one. Like the animation, step by step instructions how to
attack / secure myself. But cooking thing - inappropriate(in my
opinion).
xpunlimited - thanks for that, I'm just installing it in VM to test
this myself.
Also one thing about switchproxy for firefox. Short after segment with
plink I found this extension and start using it on all machines. I was
wondering, should I email you guys about this one, or not. I didn't
wanna be a bother. But I see viewers voice is REALLY important here.
So hopefully i won't hold back with anything else.
As a tip, I can add: right click on toolbar in firefox and add
switchproxy button onto bar. It's faster to switch (for me). And looks nice.
Here screenshot if someone wonders how it looks like:

I have 1.32c version of Q3. As far as I know this is latest version so... this one should be played on server. Unfortunately versions are incompatible. This should be set up before game starts that all players could prepare for game.

Hey.
I was off for 2 days, but meanwhile I tested it it with my friend's eee and effect was the same. BUT - i removed all internet connections configs and set them up once again. Right now instead of pinging host i opened browser. First site is always the joiku homepage, then after F5 (and a lot of time) my homepage loaded. I have adblock and other plugin to block images. So it was just text. It loaded REALLY slowly but finally something happend.
Come to think of, it might work before reconfiguring because i tried only to ping host not to use browser.
Still, the most important thing of all, does not work - putty. To be exact, nothing works except http traffic. I can't ping, ftp, ssh.. anything. Now I'm 99% sure that it's phone problem, but still. I have no idea what to do.

EEE 900 => no bluetooth ;(
I explained my objective and things I've already done because I know other options. But for some reasons there aren't good enough. I know what I want. The only question is - how?
I see this is rare problem. But hopefully we figure something out.
-
Sure I can. It does work. But only in Windows. That is first bad thing.
Other one is i have to install bloatware 300MB Nokia phone manager just to do this one thing. But still .. I can't use it under Linux.
Wifi solution is more comfortable for me and does not concern what OS I am running as long as there are drivers for w-lan card.
This is why I picked up this phone, it has wlan and supports everything needed to make this job done. Lack of this ability just make this phone ... maybe not useless but not handy as expected.
So, please.. anyone got idea/solution?

Thanks for info. But as far as I know this phone runs Symbian. So I'm afraid it can't run this app.

Hey, I searched forums but couldn't find anything what could help me with this, so here it goes.
I've upgraded my phone (finally -_- ) to Nokia E51. It supports both gprs and wifi connections. My objective is to share gprs connection through wifi to my eee or any other device.
To be honest I didn't know that kind of thing is even possible. But my friend showed me JoikuSpot. Aplication that can share any connection over wifi/bluetooth and maybe even more options.
I've seen this working, but when I tried this with my phone - it does not work. ;/
It set up access point correctly. EEE received data from DHCP but I can't reach any destination. Gateway is set. When I try to ping some dns name it tries to ping router(cellphone) with positive results, but thats all. I tried to ping IP because maybe was something wrong with DNS - no luck... timeouts.
GPRS on phone works fine.
Any idea what might cause problem? Or maybe you can recommend other aplication with features like that.
Sorry for my english and thanks in advance.

I'm during the show right now but cant wait to say this. Instruction video for Jasager - AWESOME! Funny and at the same time proffesional.
Okey, heading back to the show ;)

@DingleBerries
Hey, sorry for delay.
No that's not me. And good luck if you want to continue searches of any data about me. Name is I think the most you can easily find.
But if you want my picutre, just ask ;p
btw, I don't usually post my location, but since I silghtly trust this community I decided not to hide. Maybe finally someone nearby will like Hak5 too and I won't be limited to foreigners.

I do not. My privacy is valueable to me, so I do not use any social website.
