Thanks, back up and running

I updated my fon just a few minuets ago. After I loged into jasager I got the error Interface ath0 not found and a button to set it up, upon pressing the button it pretty much gets the error wlanconfig: ioctl: No such device ifconfig: SIOCSIFADDR: No such device I reinstalled the madwifi ipk and still nothing I thought I would just reinstall the jasager ipk but when I tried that I got the error Installing jasager (2.1-1) to root... Nothing to be done An error ocurred, return value: 28. Collected errors: Only have 0 available blocks on filesystem /, pkg jasager needs 399 can anyone please help me figure this out. thanks

First of all... If the government wants to spy on you they wont ask microsoft for help. Microsoft souce code goes through some inhouse testing before it goes even to MSDN members for testing. With thousands of people working on one project it's very possible a disgruntle employee could try to slip something in but other employees get bonuses for reporting these things and with extensive versioning logs it's easy to track down who injected the code. This policy makes it very unlikely that anyone intentionally puts in back doors. Reasons why it's not practical for the GOV to have microsoft do it are simple, if they get caught there is no deny-ability. It would be to easy for them to get caught with all the people out there running routers and firewalls packed with IDS such as snort. It would be much more logical for them to break into your place when none is around and install some inline hardware so they can monitor your screen and keyboard from a nearby location over a wireless connection. Though they have been known to do this, it's unlikely unless you are a high profile subject. They are 'supposed' to get warrants for this shit, but G.W. Bush said it was ok if they didnt and our elected officials decided that was ok because it might help fight terrorism. As far as cellphones go, I wish my OKI still worked, but alas AMPS is gone forever. The way phones work is they receive GPS spacial pings and calculate their location. This then has to be transmuted so you MUST be connected to a cell tower. Under most circumstances this is only transmitted when you call 911 and that can be disabled on many phones. If you are paranoid then geet an HTC and roll your own radio rom. You can find more help with that at xda-developers. Best practices for staying anonymous 1. always use free wifi with a random MAC for your adapter 2. never stay connected for more than 20 minuets 3. never log into any personal accounts 4. use onion routing where possible (TOR) 5. never use the same location twice 6. do not devlope patterns or habbits that can be tracked. 7. only boot from a flash drive and keep a container of acid handy to disolve the flash drive in if needed 8. never leave fingerprints digital or physical 9. avoid doing things to draw attention to yourself 10. use your brain

You are forgiven this time! But next year... :) Maybe there is a Hawaii Linux fest, if not, you now have something to do.

I must have had a moment of retardeddness but I thought I posted this in the everything else area. It needs moved if someone sees this.

Who all will be going to the Ohio Linux Fest? Saturday(Sept 25) Dual Core will be playing there at 8:30 Will any of the Hak5 crew be attending? P.S. www.ohiolinux.org (free registration, some pay events)

The guys at Soldier X have a tutorial on running the famous Geek Squad MRI (internal tools for Geek Squad only) from USB http://www.soldierx.com/bbs/Small-Tutorial...ting-MRI-pe-USB It's pretty straight forward just extract everything to the root, unfortunately you can not rename anything so all your other stuff will have to work around that. MRI is the tools Geek Squad uses when they charge you $100 bux to clean up your computer, remove trojans and viruses. Ir runs like 8 different virus and spyware scanners and some hardware checks. This just tells you how to install it IF you happen to be a Geek Squad member and have MRI. Distributing MRI would be illegal as it uses Best Buy's licenses for various virus scanners and what not. That being said, do NOT ask for it. Get you a job at Best Buy on Geek Squad if you want it. Of course you could build you a similar BartPE setup with your own licenses for the tools you use.

I don't carry a cell, I use my touch with a bluetooth adapter and one of the sip phones, I route that through a proxy. They can trace a cell back to you, and track your movements. I've worked will Cells since we were fucking with the Oki900 and there are a lot of things they don't tell you. For instance the only way to shut a phone off is to remove the battery. If there is no physical switch that means there is an active circuit somewhere. You can figure out the rest. netphones are the way to go for privacy and security conscious individuals.

This does not help in this case, but you should always use some type of repayment system that you can put a stop payment on. Mailing them a check is very handy, it gives you a few extra days while it is in the mail plus a day or two for the clearing. But I agree with Eviltechie, never send anything without tracking information, not even the refund check.

If you were a malicious person you could file paperwork declaring him dead, his credit cards and bank accounts will get locked and it will cost him thousands to fix it, oh and lifelock wont protect against a death notice.

I added some undocumented and little known features of the acer aspire, I do not know if they work on the eee so if you try them out please let me know, or any other netbook for that matter. NetBook-v0.0.2

This is basically v0.0.1 of my doc on how to get the most out of a netbook. It centers around the Aspire One 150 as that is what I have but most everything should apply to all netbooks and even laptops. If you have further suggestions, additions or other comments it's best to leave them here as I ignore most emails. I have to use a file share link since I can not make attachments of pdf or zip NetBook-v0.0.1

Also the best alternative to Cain and Able on Linux is ettercap. If you need arp poisoning this works. There are tons of youtube videos on how to do this and I feel they are better than a text tutorial so I suggest a search on that. But this tutorial is great for the setup mad props!

if you need more space on the fon, set up a remote file system. That is significantly easier than adding an SD card as most of us are using some netbook or laptop to control the fon. SMB file share might be the easiest if your running a netbook or laptop with windows.

I just like the AAO for it's weight and it was my fav of all the ones I was able to get my personal hands on. It was just a weight thing for me. I have a Asus G1 currently that I will be selling soon and replaceing with a macBook Pro 15" for development work. but the AAO is what I will carry with me.
