  1. Wow. That book really sucks. What a stupid way to pose a question and what a strange thing so assume the sequence 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is 5 separate non-falling sequences as opposed to 1 continuously falling sequence.
  2. This is from memory, but I believe the -i parameter to reaver should've been followed by the interface name to use, which should be something like mon0
  3. Why save the output? Crunch spits out the generated sequence to try, the result is yes or no and you know there's only going to be 1 yes which just happens to be the only one you're interested in. So your need isn't storage space, it's processing power. Correct?
  4. Yes, that space is required. It's how the shell knows that's where the command stops and the parameter(s) start.

    It's an interesting point. If you see a threat emerging you have not 2 but 3 options: Fight, flee, weather the storm and try to make the most of it. It's not all black & white and in spite of the growing trend of claiming "if Trump becomes president I'm moving to ${COUNTRY}" not a lot of people would actually do that because you would lose so much. The more you possess (or rather, the more you have to lose) the higher the inertia. The resistance people show against refugees can thus far be mostly distilled into one of "they'll take our jobs!", "they've come to free-load", "they're criminals/terrorists", "we'll lose our identity", "I hate forrenners". - They'll take our jobs. First of all an asylum seeker, at least in .NL, isn't allowed to work full-time. It's something like 60% of the year because when it's more than that they're entitled to benefits (pension and stuff) and we don't want to give this to someone who isn't a citizen yet and might very well not become one. This also means that as an employer you can't rely on them in that regard, plus their application might get turned down meaning one less worker. Consequence is that these people end up with shit jobs where the person doing the work is easily replaceable. Seasonal work, boring factory work, cleaning work, the type of job the people who complain the most would snub their nose at. But for the time they are allowed to work, they'll contribute to the society since they do get taxed like a normal worker and with a bit of luck they'll integrate by being exposed to the native populace. - They've come to free-load. Um, no. They didn't just wake up one morning and decided to occupy a couch in Germany or whatever. They determined that their prospects of advancing themselves are better served elsewhere, to the point where they're willing to give up what they build up in their native country. In the case of a refugee, that "prospects of advancing themselves" means "prospects of staying alive". Did you ever talk to a poor person? I don't mean a homeless person, but someone who relies on food stamps (US) and/or food banks (EU) to survive. They're trying to live off of nothing more than benefits. That's *tough* to do. Make no mistake about it, free-loading is a lot harder than you think and the vast majority of people who are currently living off benefits would do close to any job to get out of that situation. An immigrant is no exception. Another thing to note is that in order to be eligible for benefits, you're typically required to reside in that country legally for an extended period of time. You could argue that having some form of housing is a benefit, but I'd argue that's more a necessity. - They're criminals/terrorists. As stated already, there's ZERO proof any terrorist thus far went the refugee route. The typical approach up until now is that a radicalized citizen goes to a desert for 'vacation' then comes back home again. The "criminal" angle is mostly a combination of discrimination and desperation resulting from the inability to legally find a source of income. - We'll lose our identity. Compared to middle-eastern cultures, our culture tends to be a lot more open. Women rights and what have you to name but one. When someone moves to a different culture, they adapt. It's what people do and, frankly, are rather good at. Try going on a holiday to a country where they don't understand any language you're familiar with and vice versa, their script is wildly different from yours (rural China, say) and getting anything done. If that will be your regular situation for the next few months, you'll try to learn at least a few words to get around. You adapt. You integrate. But when you get bunched up into camps or large facilities where you only encounter people from your own culture, there's zero incentive to adapt. So by normal people pushing the foreigners away they actually prevent them from integrating. You end up with enclaves/ghettos where people go about their lives the same way they would in their native culture. That part of your country just wound up more a part of their country in terms of culture. And the main group to blame for that is the existing populace who resisted their integration. - I hate forrenners. Discrimination is a fact of life I'm sad to say. There's no sense in arguing with someone that claims a person is less than another simply because they appear different. Except gingers. They're an abomination and should be burned on sight.

    It helps with discussions like this to define the words used since their actual meaning differs considerably from how people tend to interpret them. Muslim: Follower of a specific religious doctrine - see also catholic, buddhist, pastafarian. Extremist: Someone whose views on a subject are quite distant from the common view on that subject - see social justice warrior, fundamentalist, jehovah's witness, veganist. Terrorist: Someone who uses fear and typically violence to further their own goals - see ISIS, Ku Kux Klan, Timothy McVeigh, IRA, ETA, Rote Armee Fraction. Immigrant: Someone who left their homeland to further their own goals - see migrant worker, colonist, invader. Refugee: Someone who was forced by the situation in their homeland (war, famine, ethnic cleansing, dissenting against a repressive regime) to become an immigrant. To understand the correct definition of a word and thus the differences between the meaning of the words helps understand the fallacies in the current rhetoric. For example, how are you going to stop muslims entering America? If you want to separate church and state (you know, that whole first amendment stuff people hide behind when they utter these stupid ideas? That also contains this) there's no legal way to enforce this. Also, as of 2011 there were over 2.5 muslims living in the US, and many, I'm sure, were born there so they have US citizenship. On what grounds can any government revoke their own citizen's citizenship? The only way I know of is when a person has dual-citizenship, but that's not as common as you might think.
  7. About 60% down the script (well, the old one at least. Just search for it) there's a chunk responsible for invoking wash with the appropriate parameters. Just search for "wash" and I'm sure it'll pop up.
  8. I've seen images from at least a decade ago already where the military were introducing their "Smart soldier". The soldier would be able to pull down a small display attached to his helmet, which was wired to the scope on his rifle. This allowed him to put only his gun around a corner, assess the situation and act on it while remaining cover behind a wall or whatever. I saw a demo on TV for that, but it might just have been non-functional at that time simply to show how they expect to use it.
  9. Does not help because...? Unplug the YS1. Run this: cd /tmp lsusb > lsusb.pre dmesg > dmesg.pre Now re-attach the YS1. Then run this: cd /tmp lsusb > lsusb.post dmesg > dmesg.post diff -u lsusb.pre lsusb.post diff -u dmesg.pre dmesg.post If you still can't figure it out based on this, it's probably because you're missing a driver, but post the output of those 2 diff commands here so we can have a look.
  10. The way it works is that, like a lost child, your wireless devices are constantly screaming "Mom? Are you there? I can't find you!" and repeat that for every family member (SSID) they remember. What Jasager does is say "I'm here, dear. I'm Mom. See the name tag? Says mom, right? See, I'm mom. (muahaha)". When the device sees Jasager respond in the appropriate way (meaning that if your home network was WEP 'protected' it will connect to it like so, if it was WPA2 protected it will connect like that) and during the communication session including the handshake with the AP the MAC will be a constant. The problem you now have is that all you can prove is that if the Pineapple spits out a valid connection having been made, that the phone is within WiFi connection distance, which can be considerable. But the bottom-line is that if you're hoping to track down a phone using this, you shouldn't use Jasager since it will actively entice every device nearby to connect to it using an AP it might know. You should set up your Pineapple as an actual AP that mimics only your home router, and see if anything (succesfully) connects to that.
  11. 1. Seems like you didn't run 'make' as per the instructions on the screen. 2. Don't try to hack a real website. That shit is illegal and get you into all sorts of trouble.
  12. What have you tried thus far and what, if anything do you see that convinces you they're not working together?
  13. You're not missing something. The point is that people rarely connect to their phone over the network, so they don't need to know or care about the phone's IP being dynamic. And since the MAC can be freely changed on most all devices, filtering on that is a piss-poor means of protecting your network. The point about reporting it stolen (which I trust you did) and the IMEI is that you want to make it such that a phone thief can do very little with the device. Can't sell it, it's annoying to use when every 5 seconds you get a text that reminds you the phone is stolen (meaning you can't show something interesting on the screen as that text might pop up and show to the friend you're using a stolen phone), can't call anybody with it, etc. The goal isn't so much to get it back (although stranger things have happened) but rather to make it worthless to the thief.
  14. Every phone has a unique IMEI number which you should be able to recover from your purchase of the device, assuming it wasn't 2nd hand. This, like a MAC, is a unique and phone-specific number. You can instruct your mobile network (and possibly other networks too) to blacklist that phone based on this number, rendering it useless for anything but wifi and bluetooth computer stuff. Here in the Netherlands the police (used to?) have a process whereby any phone that was registered as being stolen would be sent a text message every so often (they're calling it a bombardment) that reads "This phone is stolen. Contact the police." And again, this is sent using the IMEI number so changing SIM won't prevent that text from being delivered. The purpose of this is to make the resell value of the phone effectively zero which is a big disincentive to phone thieves. Dutch police article on this (obviously in dutch, but Google translate might help). The only thing that could stop an iPhone from randomizing its MAC is the iPhone itself. If it was something you could influence in any other way, it would be a useless feature.
  15. I think you're asking the wrong question. The big question on my mind with regards to this is why do we need voting machines in the first place? So far the only remotely valid reason I could find is that news outlets can get a decent number to run with much, much sooner. Every other reason I've been provided with thus far boils down to 'because we can'. They're trying to get electronic voting like this going here in .NL and they actually got some hackers and privacy people involved (I personally know a few of them) to ensure things are on the up-and-up. The process they decided upon is that people pick a candidate from a screen, a paper ballot is then printed and the ballot is thus counted digitally. As a voter you're then expected to verify the printed ballot as containing your actual vote which you then drop in the old-skool voting box. The digital number is provided once the voting office closes at which point the manual counting still happens and this manually counted number will be the official number, trumping the digital one. What this means is that the cost savings relative to a non-digital vote is a negative - it costs more because you need to purchase a whole stack of machines which you will use ONLY for voting (which, at least in my country, isn't a very common thing to do. Once or twice a year tops). Also, during each election you need a stack of techs on stand-by to fix the devices when they break or get broken which is going to be a recurring cost. Given these rather considerable additional costs, where's the benefit? Ease of use? What's easier that taking a pencil and coloring in the box next to the name of someone you think should win? If your voting ballot is so complex it confuses people, FIX THE FUCKING BALLOT ITSELF.
  16. I would suggest you start reading here and please let us know how you progress.
  17. What OS are we talking here?
  18. Let wireshark listen in on your connection. Maybe that will shed some light on the situation. Something that only works sometimes tends to be environment-specific rather than a problem with a program.
  19. It's not a matter of starting the guest OS and inserting the USB device so the virtual can detect it and have fun with it?
  20. I find the SD card sticking out the side to be far too fragile, so I went with Gentoo on a USB stick. My issue with ArchLinux was that their kernel was built without the option that allowed it to assume the USB drive stayed put across a resume (on sleep the USB bus is effectively cleared of devices and on resume it gets rescanned and devices are added accordingly - without that kernel config option the kernel would assume that USB disk to not be the one that was there at the moment of sleep). Do you know how Kali fares in that regard? I realize you're booting off of SD, but could you run this: zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_USB_DEFAULT_PERSIST I'm hoping that it will say that config option was 'y', otherwise using a USB stick won't work with Kali either.
  21. In what way does the USB3 to Gigabit adapter not suffice?
  22. I'd say as much as the filesystem can retain in a single file, but it kinda depends on where the characters come from. UNIX while true; do echo "a" >> file ; done WINDOWS for /L %%n in (1,0,10) do ( echo "a" >> file ) To clarify that for loop, we're looping from 1 to 10 with an increment of 0, meaning an endless loop. Note that it may be VERY hard to break this loop, I haven't tried it myself but I've seen warnings. If you want it to happen FAST then instead of appending a single character, append the contents of the file to itself using cat(UNIX) or type(WINDOWS). Has to be in a loop still, but you'll quickly only be limited by the speed the disk can write the data to the file.
  23. Old article Older article I would suggest you google for "parse large pcap files".
