    Jasager Battery Pack?

    in WiFi Pineapples Mark I, II, III

    Posted

    im kinda new to Hak5 and loving it saw the episode on the jasager and it said you can do a battery pack and to look on the forums for instructions... Im looking so far and not finding em... any help?

    also was thinking of getting a Open-Mesh Mini-Router to make one. do these work well?

    -Wes-

    Yes the Open-Mesh mini router works great. I have Jasager running on one. It's the same hardware that's in a Fon 2100.

    Good Directions To Install Jasager On Open-mesh?

    in WiFi Pineapples Mark I, II, III

    Posted

    I just received my open mesh router today. Now I was trying to follow the steps from:

    http://www.digininja.org/jasager/installation.php , but the installation directions assume that I'm using a FON. The open mesh comes with SSH enabled as well as telnet into Redboot so I can't really follow the steps from digininja (step by step). I looked through http://wiki.hak5.org/wiki/Fon_Jasager_Install which walks through the setup of FON 2100 which is also considered an open mesh, but the steps use jasager_1.2 and digininja's site has Jasager package 2.1. It's kind of hard to follow steps from one post and then jump to another post to get the rest of the directions.

    Does anyone know how I can install the latest jasager on an open mesh mini router knowing that it comes with SSH enabled as well as telnet into redboot??

    p.s. I have looked through most of the posts, but none that I found can direct me to specific directions for open mesh. Most if not all use Fon or Fon + or so.

    The Open-Mesh mini router is the same as a Fon 2100. See this post:

    http://forums.hak5.org/index.php?showtopic=12833

    digininja's instructions should work just fine.

    Acer Aspire One or Dell Mini?

    in Questions

    Posted

    Others can correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not into pentesting, but you might want to take into consideration the wireless chipset that these particular models have. I've read that Broadcom based wireless cards are not that friendly in relation to monitor mode and packet injection. However I think the Atheros chipset works much better. I had no problems with my old AAO 8.9" netbook which had an Atheros chipset. I believe Dell uses the broadcom chipset. Can anyone else confirm or deny this?

    Although I think the safe bet to get an Atheros chipset would be to go with the Acer, I have seen a 10.1 inch model of the AAO with a broadcom chipset.

    So, I would lean more towards the Acer. But, I just checked my girlfriend's Acer Aspire One D250 (10.1") and it has a broadcom wireless chipset.

    Ok, so maybe some broadcom chipsets do work with monitor mode and injection. Hmmmm, did not know that.

    Installed the Piranha firmware 2.0 b4 - borked fon+?

    While this is certainly everyone's own decision, I cannot really see the point of using ANY of these various GUI flashers - besides the before-mentioned Fon Flash from Gargoyle - BUT even that one does NOT issue a "full initialization flash", a step that is urgently needed when e.g. moving from dd-wrt.

    Thus my question is simple: Is it really that difficult to flash the device manually utilizing the official install instructions at http://piranha.klashed.net/pub/inst? I mean, I'm certainly open for suggestions to make them even more straightforward for the users - no doubt about it!

    I'd just like to understand WHY you prefer bricking your devices with in-appropriate tools instead of appreciating to have the full control over the process. Please let me know! Just my 2c!

    If I had to guess it's probably because people are anxious about telneting in and issuing commands and or setting up a tfpd server. Both of which are pretty easy.

    Neex Linux distro recomendation

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    Title of topic is supposed to be Need- not neex.

    Ubuntu is getting really old. I am looking for a new *nix OS to use as a desktop.

    I was going to throw Solaris on my desktop but i was wondering if anyone could recommend me a different highly stable solution. I uaully leave my systems on because they are "busy" alot.

    throw me some distros or should i just stick with open solaris?

    I do this every couple of years. I've been a long time Slackware user (since '97, I think version 3.3). When Slackware dropped Gnome I've been kinda evaluating different distros / Unix based OS's, although I'm still using it. Some of the OS's I've tried recently include:

    Ubuntu

    OpenSuse

    Zenwalk

    Slitaz

    Debris

    CrunchBang

    OpenSolaris

    On my list yet to try are:

    Arch

    Mint

    Vector

    Hell I may even revisit the BSD's

    Perl - Need the last 8 chars of a string

    in Applications & Coding

    Yes you can use substr. You just have to use a negative offset. I use it regularly for manipulating DNA sequences. Let's say I have a file that contains the following sequence:

    tcatccatcc

    to return the last 8 characters, which would be atccatcc, I use:

    perl -ne 'print substr($_, -9, 8), "\n"' dna

    Hope this helps.

    so why the offset of -9 when I want the last 8 characters of the sequence in the file? I think it's because it counts the newline at the end of the seqeunce as well. consider the following when the sequence is assigned to a variable:

    #!/usr/bin/perl
$dna = "tgatccatcc";
$chunk = substr($dna, -8, 8);
print "$chunk\n";

    This will return atccatcc

    $var = `sh hello.sh && echo "Complete"`;

    I'm running something like this and have some conditional statements that are looking for "complete," but if hello.sh runs and has some output, then it will ALL save into $var. Is there a way I can save only the last eight characters?

    Thanks.

    EDIT: I think it would have to use substr, but I don't see how I can make it work assuming that I don't know how many characters are before "Complete."

    Piranha 2 + Jasager 2.1

    in WiFi Pineapples Mark I, II, III

    Posted

    Am I correct in assuming that I should be using the openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs file when flashing using the Piranha procedure? Because the procedure found here is using the jffs2 filesystem image. Under what circumstances would I use the jffs2 image instead of the squashfs image? I see their sizes are quite different.

    Jasager firmware release

    in WiFi Pineapples Mark I, II, III

    Posted

    Thank you for the info. This will definitely get me started. I hope you don't mind me asking a few more questions later on. I did notice that the build procedure you use produces two files: openwrt-atheros-root.squashfs and openwrt-atheros-vmlinux.lzma which are used to flash the Fon. However I noticed on OpenWrt's site that to flash the WRT54G you only need a single bin file. Can you clarify the difference for me? Why hot have a single bin file to flash the Fon with? Is this something that's hardware dependent? Thanks again...!

    Jasager firmware release

    You will still need to install webif, my firmware only includes the minimum to get Jasager running.

    But, if you are going to do a reflash, why not try the new Piranha release, it has all the goodies you'd need already pre-installed

    @digininja, would you be willing to share your experience in building the Jasager firmware you put together? I'm interested in learning how to do this and would greatly appreciate any links you can share. More specifically I'm interested in the process of how you bundled everything together.

    SSIDs show up as garbled text

    in WiFi Pineapples Mark I, II, III

    Posted

    Ah ha, its your fault, not mine!

    Actually, it is XP that is causing the problem, if you look at packet number 488 you are doing a probe request for an SSID that is just a random string of bytes, Jasager is seeing this probe request and being the obliging character that it is it is replying with a probe response in packet 518. As you would never normally get probe responses for these random byte requests you would never normally see them in the network list.

    This is called parking and is a deliberate feature of Windows XP with Service Pack 2, for more information read this from MS http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917021 look about 3/4 the way down.

    Whey hey, problem diagnosed. No idea what the solution is though.

    Well isn't that interesting. Thank you XP. Well at least we know what causes the problem. Thanks digininja...!

    So the solution appears to be to define each wireless network as nonbroadcast within Windows XP. Something of which most if not all users will never do.

    I tested this in my lab and it works perfectly. My notebook connected to Jasager thinking it was my normal wireless network of which its name appears just fine in the list of available wireless netoworks. Exactly how is should work.

    I'm still not sure I understand why Microsoft chose to create a random wireless network name when parking the adapter. This only creates unnecessary probe requests for randomly named wireless networks. Of which won't get any response back unless Jasager is running close by.

    What project are you working on?

    been working with a team to build an amateur satellite for the past four years. its up and running, and it is being demoed in Dayton this week/end. And really any project I do at work almost becomes a personal project, just to much fun to leave "work" at the door.

    Where's the demo taking place, on the base? Is it open to the public?

    ...snip...

    Is it reproducible? If so, can you run kismet on one of your machines and then reproduce the problem. If you post the pcap file it might reveal something. You can either send it directly to me or post it here for everyone.

    yes it happens every time in XP. The kismet dump file is

    here.

    Let me know if that's not what you wanted. With Karma already enabled, I started Kismet on my netbook and then about a minute later brought up the wireless device on my XP notebook.

    Using tcpdump to look at the dump shows some very weird probe responses such as:

    19:35:31.565931 Probe Response (^F^L^T^H^B^N^X^W^S^F^C^N^B^]^M^U^Q^F^U^]^M^H^I^[^P^G^Q^S^V^E^X^F)

    So what do you think?

    In my lab I've got Jasager running on a Fonera 2100. When I try to connect to a wireless network using my "test" notebook I get the following in the Wireless Connection screen in Windows XP. Actually I get this using two different notebooks: Acer Aspire One (Atheros) and an old HP Omnibook with a Netgear Rangemax pmcia card.

    Anyone have any idea what is causing this?

    The garbled one's are those SSID's that Jasager is pretending to be. The others are actual live AP's.

    Just wondering what kinds of hardware projects others have been working on to maybe spark some new ideas. I've become very interested in embedded linux and now I've become addicted to Fon/Accton hardware thanks to the Jasager project. I'm interested in hearing what other kind of hardware people are working with and what you are doing with it.

    I've thought about buying a Soekris box or maybe an Alix board to play with. The Beagleboard looks like fun too. Or maybe even one of these: http://www.mini-box.com/Samsung-S3C2440A-400MHz

    511 Easter Egg Hunt

    decoding the words was easy - the unx5.bet part made it obvious. You knew that was hak5.org and the rest just followed. I did that step right away after I watched ep 11 and went and entered the code however there was no obvious instructions on where to go next so I just stopped at that point.

    Trying googling the first part of the clue. Then use the force, err, I mean the source. ;-)

    After they revealed all on the live show last night I don't think it will hurt being more specific. Especially since they already have winners. The code on the first part can be decoded at rot13.com

    Google rot13 to learn more about it. It's very simple and you can have a lot of fun with it.

    I won't give away anymore in case people still want to have fun searching.
