  1. That is the way it is suppose to be, but noobs here are alot of times treated as 2nd class citizens of the community.

    It really depends. People that do some effort in searching the forums first, and read the rules before asking questions. Are always answered on the forums. But those who don't even bother to read rules and search for the problem before asking, yeah .... It happens a lot in the open source community. Same thing like this OP. He started this thread been active a few months but doesn't follow through on it. And its not because of lack of interest or posts.

  2. https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/Jobs-and-Career/What-is-the-Purpose-of-an-IRS-W-9-Form-/INF19259.html

    As far as i understand it. Its just a form so they can do the tax work correctly. In europe its also required to give your unique vat tax number to costumers. I don't think it can be a problem. Only if they would report the invoices as paid will they didn't pay it. But then there doing tax fraud so....

  3. The point is that you need their signature to prove that you did it. Anybody can itemize a worklist, but without a signature from the other guy on it it's nothing more than a collection of paper and ink.

    You can demand the drive and any other unpaid products which you supplied back from him. Read up on 'restocking fee'. Include the returning of any product minus a reasonable restocking fee as an option for him to pay you for your work. It shows good faith as it allows him a way out (even though it really isn't since I doubt he'd want to stop having backup drives).

    With things like this, you have to be reasonable, polite, specific and strict. You don't want to tank his business, but you don't want to sit back while he's tanking yours either. If the courts do come into play, you have to show (=prove) you did your best to come to an amicable solution that works for the both of you. If the other guy can prove you've sent some dock workers with heavy batons to his home late one evening, the court might see your claim in a different light. :smile:

    You can choose to give someone more time, but you should get this down on paper. Offer an arrangement where he pays you a certain amount each week/month over the course of a few months, but he's going to have to pay interest and he now needs to sign a contract whereby he agrees to do so. This too is something you should write up with the aid of a lawyer. There should be standard contracts for this sort of thing so it shouldn't be too pricy and you can use it for your future clients so consider it an investment in your business rather than a loss to it.

    The thing I notice here is that he demanded they cut a check for the both of you, which to me implies he helped get you money, even if it wasn't the full amount you're due. He didn't give them any discounts or anything so he's being responsible, which, again, helps your case in court if it ever goes there. Plus, did any of this work go through your company, or is the client now talking directly with your friend and receiving services without your intervention? If so, this too should be mentioned to the lawyer. It's probably not actionable due to the absence of a contract which would/should forbid him doing that, but it paints a lesser picture of the client which could help you in court.

    Yeps, you should always let them sign field reports and delivery papers of goods. Best is also that they need to write: " For delivery of goods on XX/XX/XX and sign ) This way you have legal paperwork for court.

    Now i don't know if this is a 100% correct. Worst case: if they didn't sign a paper and didn't pay for hardware that is running there. I think there's a legal way to reclaim the hardware ( country depended ) because this is still yours.

  4. yeah srry was a bit slow over the last part of the text. It would make for a nice and interesting penetration tactic. Esp if you could like put it in between a backbone.

  5. Thats the way I do it except I go to my laptop not a Pi and I can then either plug the machine back into the network or use iptables to forward the traffic out of a second interface so I can monitor it all.

    A other option is maybe use a device with dual ethernet? and setting this up to bridge or route trafic between the ports. This way you could intercept the dhcp requests, but still leave the normal network traffic flowing. Also you could leave to device behind and maybe use it as a pivot point. You could even go further and change the script so it would remember devices it penetrated.

  6. Don't forget that switches will always decrease the signal. The better the quality the lesser it will. But like barry said. check for what freq the switches are rated. And i dont know if you will find combined freq like 2.4 and 5GHz

  7. its maybe a bit of a late post:

    http://www.mini-box.com/DCDC-USB?sc=8&category=981

    ITs a DC-DC psu. you can set the output and it can take a wide input range: 6V-34V

    Or you could use the OpenUPS2. Wich has a few batery's on it. but has a output of 12-24V while the other can have lower output

    http://www.mini-box.com/OpenUPS2?sc=8&category=981

    Im using a different version to run a small pc for fieldday events from battery / group power ( amature license )
