Couple of bugs, but nothing major.
Guide covers pretty much everything. I really do recommend netbook remix for the interface, or if XFCE is a good alternative to normal Gnome, which I find to heavy handed for the AAO and the 1024x600 screen.
Also, use this config and compile the latest kernel.
It's stripped of the stuff you don't need. I had a play about an got about 20 secs off my standard Ubuntu Kernel boot time.

Dont know whether that is actually what you are asking for, but it shows a method
of obtaining access to (my) router from scratch.

Though it does make assumptions on the wireless encryption. I can assure this wouldn't be so easy with wpa.

since your still just getting your feet wet and your going to be doing it in a vm, I say do like we have, just go download a bunch of iso's and see what you like best. it is tedious, but in the longrun, you dont just learn someone else's favorite, you form your own fav. distro
oh btw, if your new to networking with linux/networking in general, you may want to use virtualbox (sorry vmware users, plz dont bash me) but because it is alot easier to network with virtualbox than vmware.(well plus you dont have to pay for the software to let you create your own vms.)
I am an admin who supports both Linux and Windows coputers, I run Ubuntu as my main OS and run XP in a VM using VirtualBox. Have always used VMWare until recently I stumbled on VirtualBox. Using seamless mode, I have easy access to all the windows tools i need -all integrating with my linux desktop.
Bit like this without OSX as the host:

Ok. I live out in the bonnies and there is no way for me to get true broadband internet. So, I rely on my blackberry. I have just installed Ubuntu on an old computer I had sitting around and I would like to be able to use the internet through my blackberry on ubuntu. Can anyone please help me figure out how to get the Verizon Access Manager to work with Ubuntu. THANKS!
You could try using Wine if you want that specific piece of software to work, else try plugging the device in and see if the network manager picks it up as a modem.
Try the Ubuntu forums for better support.

Yea, really wouldn't bother running Windows 7. I got 7000 build around the time it was leaked, just to have a look around. Looking promising in some areas, got rid of a load of crap that Vista had and didn't need and nobody wanted, manages system resources much better too. I would recommend running it as a virtual machine rather than installing over your current OS. Using like Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, simple and easy to use, and free.
I installed vista 7 on my acer one - ran pretty well, maybe better than ny curfrent vista install. If it were not for the wifi drivers not working within the time I spent trying, I'd have considered leaving it as the primary OS.

You won't get any visual effects like Aero on a VM as it doesn't use GFX acceleration.
Give it as much resources as you can for the best results but In my testing, it requires less than Vista.

LOL at having internet blocked by your parents, how old are you?
If I'm honest, you don't have the basic network knowledge needed to circumvent your parents security and should probably respect their decision -they've obviously implemented it for a reason. If you want full internet access, buy your own...

you have got a point there. But with that method you reset the admin password to gain system access.
there is no possibility to restore the system to its original state (original admin password). So you leave the system modified, in order to gain admin access and leave tracks behind.
Its a good method to reset admin password none the less.
---edit:
Ophcrack worked great for cracking the hash.
thanks for the help though.
So you're not supposed to be accessing t system?
Naughty...

Do you actually have enrypted files? Not many users do, never had a prob with this tool.

Hey guys,
Love the podcast, only made my account here today as I ran into a problem.
I read the pinned post on gaining admin access to XP machine. While it was very informative, I couldnt get the compiled version of the util file (the link to web1000.com doesnt work anymore). And I cant compile VB code myself.
Been searching how to add admin account on google but havnt figured it out yet.
I have downloaded, UBCD, Hiren's cd, BT3, Bart, Ubuntu. I have figured out how to reset admin password.
Is is possible to add a new admin user without having access to admin account?
if that is not possible, is it possible to run (install) program with admin access under normal user (without admin password).
--This is on Windows XP professional SP3 that I have full physical access to.
Love the show

Ok I'm confused about the casting but I will look into that and do plenty more studying. Obviously I am not ready to write anything of much use at the moment since I had issue with such a simple program lol. I cant wait for summer so I can start classes. Then I will be able to do a little more. :)
Thanks everyone.
Casting is really easy.
All you need do is place the desired type in parentheses (fancy word for brackets) and follow it with the variable.
Say you had a char, 'numb' containing the value '1' that you wanted to perform mathematical work on, you only need do (int)numb to cast the char to an int.
It's useful and worth grasping.

Bump keys, probably the easiest method.

You can block addresses and domains on many routers. You xcould use a hardware FW solution as well. A proxy could be used to control access as well.
-
Best way to stop the application from just closing would to encompass the entire program in a loop which checks for a certain condition such as the user pressing 'x'.
In psuedo:
While (user input) != 'x' {
your code;
} //end while

regsvr32 -u <dll to unload>
This command is also useful for cleaning up corrupt dll that you can't delete or removing files related to spyware.
Use the same command without the -u trigger to load a DLL.
-
Using openDNS you can control what domains are accessable. Check your router, many allow the blocking of sites from there for certain IPs.
Editing the Host file to point DNS to wrong locations isn't really the tidiest way to do things.
-
You could try unloading the DLL instead of deleting it.
-
Hardware firewalls aren't expensive and provide other functionality like VPN plus it means all your network is protected by it.
Check out the Watchguard range. You can pick up their smaller units for very little and they all run linux. :)

I've used the Offline NT PW & Reg editor numerous times to gain admin access to machines for work when the user has forgotten the P/W.
As long as you have a clean shutdown of Windows, Linux doesnt have any major issues writing to NTFS.
I don't know if it still works but alternatively you can set the screensaver to point to the command.com in the registry. Wait for the screensaver to appear on the login screen and boom, a shell.

I actually swapped out my atheros on my AAO with a broadcom based wifi card when I was testing Mac Osx (concluded it's rubbish and sticking with Linux)
Anyhow, I use the B43 driver perfectly well for aircrack and it's connection is stable.
